George Armstrong

George Armstrong Leaving it out of your hands again here, this week for your bonuses, solve any compound word. We're looking for your birdhouses and grasslands in here. I'll be the judge of what is a compound, but will be lenient with it to an extent :) . Good luck folks

Eoin Jackson

Eoin Jackson I suppose there aren't really too many ways of letting the bonuses be within the players power when it comes to Cons, unless perhaps you were to award bonuses based on solve speed?

Or if you wanted to implement something that would help the weaker players, there could be a bonus for the first conundrum in a streak (aka you would have to have missed at least one to start a new streak)

George Armstrong

George Armstrong Yeah there'll probably be some speed ones later on :)

Eoin Jackson

Eoin Jackson Or... to help the players who REALLY struggle with cons... a 5pts bonus for each isolated con!
(aka one that is preceded and followed by an unsolved one...)

Eoin Jackson

Eoin Jackson Or a 5pt bonus for a plausible incorrect guess using all the right letters.

George Armstrong

George Armstrong Irritatingly, the latter suggestion would've worked quite well with touch... ;)

Eoin Jackson

Eoin Jackson Ave bonus pts per game = 5


(0+10+5+0+20+5+0+0+0+15+5+15+0+0+0 = 75)

Tourney round: The Power of Three: Round 2 - Touchdown (Cons)

<< Round 2 - Touchdown (Numbers) | Round 3 - Omelette (Cons) >>

Notes from the organizer: Moving onto Touchdown. Not a million miles away from Normal. Remember one of the letters given shouldn't be there. You need to work out which one and replace it with the correct one to find the answer. For the bonus system, check the comments section.
