 | Eoin Jackson Dr. Who?! I've watched a fair bit of that, but have not come across the episode / reference.
|
 | George Armstrong Getting closer to that unconfirmed cut-off point, so I might as well reveal some more details:
|
| Eoin Jackson Cool... but you need more!
|
| George Armstrong Possibly, but given every round needs a letters, numbers, and conundrum attack it ruled a few out (goat and the unlimiteds to name just a couple). Plus I wanted to leave out the nicher one likes Spoilage and Duckdown so that the tourney seemed more accessible to all :). |
| Eoin Jackson Ah no... the format and selection is fine. I meant more players / teams.
|
| George Armstrong Ah...
|
 | Dave Robjohns Duckdown niche?! Based on Andy’s tournament it seems to be the most popular variant going 😜 |
| George Armstrong Hehe fair point, but tbf they've only shown their love for the DD letters (thus far...) |
 | Elizabeth Beer Not allowing access to the speadsheet |
| George Armstrong Oh... I'll try and fix that this aft... |
| George Armstrong Ok that should be working now:
|
 | Philip Aston Good choice of formats for accessibility. |
| George Armstrong Ok so we've hit 45, seems like a good multiple of 3. I'll do the draw in aptochat tonight after the ZD final and set up group mails for each team so you can decide who's playing what. |
| George Armstrong Ok the draw is done - thanks to Andres for assisting. Teams can be found on the spreadsheet (see a few comments up). I've set mail threads up for each team. As soon as you decide upon your roles we can begin :) |
| Show all comments | |
| George Armstrong To clarify (as I've been asked in mail) - one person plays all the letters rounds, one player plays all the numbers rounds, etcetc (we're not changing every round) |
 | Wesley Barton When will we find out more about the bonuses for each round? |
| George Armstrong Yeah I'll reveal them as each round goes live |
 | Adam Dexter Could you please repeat the total column to the left of the scores so that scrolling right/left isn't needed in these early stages? Thanks :) |
| George Armstrong Sorted - will do that :) |
Tourney round: The Power of Three: Sign Ups
Notes from the organizer: No, it's not that bang average episode of Doctor Who, but rather a fun new tourney kicking off in January!
The lowdown - there are 9 different rounds to be played, going through different variants. Each round will consist of a letters, a numbers, and a conundrum attack. Players will be drawn into teams of 3, with one responsible for tackling the letters attacks, one the numbers attacks, and one the conundrum attacks. Who plays what will be up to you to decide, but there will be a bonus points system in place for each of the rounds, with each bonus being worth an extra 5 points.
All your points will be combined over the nine rounds - but which trio will prevail as the victors?
Sign ups will stay open for MOST of December (if we get towards the end and I have a multiple of three signed up I'll shut shop up early). The team draw will take place in late Dec / early Jan in aptochat for an early Jan start, with new rounds (hopefully) starting weekly.
Any questions, please ask away. Let's be avin ya!
