Notes from the organizer: Do you like Countdown? Do you like playing lots of games of Countdown? Do you like tournament play? Well then this tournament is the ideal tournament for you.

It is time for the fourth installment of Everything Counts, having previously ran for 3 installments and won by Callum Todd twice and Zarte Siempre in the last installment.

The format will remain unchanged from the last installment but for those that can't remember the format or don't know what the format is, well here it is:

1. Each player that enters the tournament will play every other player that enters in one massive Round Robin style tournament and each game will be played to the 9 round format.

2. Players will score points as follows: 4 Points for a win, 2 Points for a draw, 1 Bonus Point for scoring 70+ in any game and 1 Bonus Point for losing by 10 or less points in any game.

3. After the deadline for completing the Round Robin stage has passed the players with the most points will advance to the Knockout Stages. The number of players that advance to the Knockout Stage will depend on how many players enter the tournament. It will probably be 16 or 24 players that advance to the Knockout Stage.

4. The knockout stage will work to the following format from the first knockout to the semi final:
4.1. Each match will be played to the 9 round format from the first knockout round to the semi final.

4.2. Each match will be played over a two legged format with the player achieving the highest combined score advancing to the next round.

4.3. If a tie happens over the two legs then the player with the highest 'away' score will advance to the next round. The player who is home in the first leg will be determined by whoever appears in left column of the Apterous Tournament Fixture System and the other player will be at home in the second leg of the tie.

4.4. The final will be played to the 15 round format over the best-of-5, instead of best-of-3 like last time.

Sign-ups will last from the 7th September to the 24th September.

If you have any questions feel free to ask.
