Matthew Tassier

Matthew Tassier Just to remind everyone, to score the maximum possible on a round you'll need to:
1. Match Rex in terms of target reached.
2. Go above your final total during your calculations.
3. Go higher than Rex goes during your calculations.

Rhys Benjamin

Rhys Benjamin If I do, for example, 9 x 75 + 100 - 2, is that better than 9 x 75 - 2 + 100? Just clarifying as Rex has gone the second way but I went the first way?

Matthew Tassier

Matthew Tassier Yes, you've gone up to 775 whereas Rex goes no higher than 773 so you get the full 20 points for that round. A foolish oversight from Rex.

Tourney round: Climb Every Mountain: Mont Blanc - Seeding Round

<< Ben Nevis - Seeding Round | Mount Everest - Seeding Round >>

Notes from the organizer: This is the seeding round for the NORMAL numbers attack tournament that is part of Climb Every Mountain, a series of 3 knockout numbers tournaments played in Junior, Normal and Hyper formats.
It comes with a twist. If a round is tied then the points will be awarded to the player who has reached the target via the HIGHEST INTERMEDIATE TOTAL.

See the overall tournament page for rules clarifications: https://www.apterous.org/to_tourney.php?tourney=3368

Every player will be given a game against Apterous Rex in this seeding round. Scoring will be a bit different. If your intermediate peak is higher than Rex's then you will score double points for that round (i.e. 20 if it's an exact solve), but if it is lower than Rex then you will score half points (5 if it's an exact solve). If Rex beats you in a round then you will score 0 as is usually the case.
Players will then be seeded based on their adjusted scores with their highest intermediate peak across the whole game being the decider in case of ties.
After this round all players will enter the seeded knockout tournament.

Ran from: 9 – 24 February 2021. Format: Numbers Attack. Matches: One-off. Approved.

Organizers: Matthew Tassier.

Fixtures: 26. Completed: 25.
