Johnny Canuck

Johnny Canuck Will the games be 15 rounders or some other format? Also, is each fixture a one-off, best-of-3 or something else?

James Laverty

James Laverty likely to be one-off games for the groups. Later fixtures will probably be best-of-3, with the grand final being best-of-5.

Tricia Lockhart It says 16 feb - 12 march - am I too late to sign up?

James Laverty

James Laverty The 8th March date was more an estimate for when I felt the shows would be aired by the time the tourney finished.

I've been to a recording since and seen the dates are a bit later than I expected. Your show(s) won't be aired until June and the tourney will probably be finished by then so feel free to sign up.

James Laverty

James Laverty OK, sign-ups closed. I've made the decision to withdraw Uzoma Isichei from the tourney due to inactivity and the fact they are only a trial member. I've decided not to play as well so I can more time overlooking the tourney, so we have 32 players (perfect number for a group+knockout format).

Notes from the organizer: Would help if I would allow sign-ups......

Anyway, what I said earlier....

I did a tournament for Apterites who've yet to appear on Countdown about two years ago. I've decided to expand on it for this new tournament. Anyone can who hasn't appeared on the show as a contestant can enter, as well as those who have appeared but lost on their only appearance (If you've appeared as an audience member you are fine). The cut off will be people who have recorded before March 12th, I believe there are recordings that week.

The format will be a group stage followed by a knockout round. Numbers in groups will be confirmed when I have a better idea of numbers. The groups will have a slightly modified scoring to normal tourneys.

3 points for a normal win
2 points for a win earned on a tiebreak conundrum
1 point for a game lost on a tiebreak conundrum
0 points for a normal loss.

Ran from: 16 February – 12 March 2017. Format: 15 Rounder. Matches: One-off. Approved.

Organizers: James Laverty.

Fixtures: 0. Completed: 0.
