Chris Hare Round One complete!

Damian McEvoy
Fi Thorne
Jason Larsen
Andy SC
Mich R
Bailey Cowell
Edward Ashcroft and
Sean D.

Farewell, and thank you very much for playing!

Jason Larsen

Jason Larsen Yes!

Ian Volante

Ian Volante Oh no, short deadline! Scored 113, if anyone cares.

Fi Thorne

Fi Thorne I thought we got 3 attempts? I stupidly didn't read the rules & risked a dodgy 7.. would have been ok if I's stuck with my safe 6!

Jason Larsen

Jason Larsen Wait, Chris? Why did we only get one attempt instead of three? I'm very confused!

Chris Hare

Chris Hare I'm confused too! If someone can cite anywhere I've said you could have three attempts, then I'll gladly give them to you.

George Armstrong

George Armstrong I think people have confused the attempts and the snowballs...

Andy SC

Andy SC Same as what George said. Looked everywhere I could and found no reference to three attempts.

Adam Latchford

Adam Latchford "remember: three strikes and you're out" probably meant people assumed this = three attempts to hit the score (as we had in a previous competition). I didnt read it that way but I assume thats whats happened!

Chris Hare

Chris Hare Hmm. I'm going to consider myself covered by "full rules can be found in the foyer", I think. Apologies to anyone who feels terribly wronged!

Jason Larsen

Jason Larsen Sorry Chris

Fi Thorne

Fi Thorne Spot on Adam - that's what I assumed. No worries at all though! Good luck everyone! :-)

Tourney round: Apterous Winter Olympics 2022: The Snowball Fight: Round One

<< Foyer | Round Two >>

Notes from the organizer: It's Round One!

You'll be playing a Nice 15 against Apterous Prune, and I'm going to set the target score at 100 points. Remember: three strikes and you're out; full rules can be found in the Foyer.

You have 48 hours to play your games for each round; the next round will begin 24 hours later, continuing until someone emerges as the Apterous Winter Olympics Snowball Fight Champion 2022. (This is a slight change from the original plan, which had rounds beginning every 48 hours.)
