Scoring the same as the duel. Ties will be settled by Highest individual scores. If you sign up to the tournament, I will schedule your game on the tourney page, or alternatively you can aptomail me a game. You can attempt the game as many times as you like, but once a game is submitted, you can not submit a new one.

BUT ALSO……

As something a little different, The Multiverse will see a bonus points system. More of the ways to earn bonus points will be revealed later (once I have ironed out the details), but for now, the initial bonuses are..

PENCILS- Pretty self-explanatory, but anyone lucky enough to earn a pencil in a game, will earn a bonus point

BUZZWORDS- A little bit more complicated, but each week I will decide three words vaguely related to the time of year or that weeks variant, and if validly declared, will earn a bonus point. Don’t lose sleep trying to work out these words, I’m planning for the links to be rather groan worthy.

NUMBERWANG- Similar to a spot prize at COLIN X, each week a random number between 75 and 150 will be selected (Remember all rounds will be stepdown scored). If anyone achieves this score, they will earn 2 bonus points. If nobody gets this score, the person (or people) who come closest will earn 1 bonus point.

As you may have noticed, the tourney will end just before COLIN. Because of this, if the winner of the Multiverse attends COLIN 2016 (and let’s face it, why wouldn’t you) I will be giving a small prize to the winner, most likely a drink. If you are mad enough to miss out on COLIN, then hard cheese.

I think that is enough for now, more details to be revealed in due course. Best of luck and if you have any questions drop me a message.
