Notes from the organizer: What’s more fun on a crisp winter day than putting on your woolliest jumper, going outside and being hit in the face with cold, wet balls? Staying indoors and enjoying a nice game on Apterous with all your internet friends, of course!

In this event, a new game in one of this excellent site's high-score formats, against a bot of the Organiser's choosing, will appear every 48 hours. All you need to do to progress in the tourney is meet or exceed that game’s target score (which will be listed on that round’s page)... with one small caveat: every letters round in which you fail to declare a valid word, every numbers game in which you fail to reach a valid target, and every conundrum round in which you buzz in with an incorrect answer counts as a strike with a snowball. If you are struck by (a) more than 3 snowballs in any single game or (b) a total of N snowballs across the whole event, where N is the number of entrants, then you’re out!

The winner is the last person standing, or, should the last remaining players all fall at the same stage, the player who has the highest score in that stage.
