Liam O

Liam O It's a really great tournament Andy, fair play to you

Fi Thorne

Fi Thorne Aaargh, 3 points short because I saw a letter that wasn't there! Although I'm sure there will be higher scores coming in this round anyway!

Fiona T

Fiona T yep think my conundrum might be apt!

Dave Kempshall

Dave Kempshall One big score (150ish) here and the field will be brutalised in round one.

Andres S.

Andres S. Keeping my damn fingers crossed here that I stay alive, went too fast on my con

Gerry Tynan

Gerry Tynan Haha Start the game thinking just play it safe. Round two and i go for a risky seven i've had disallowed loads of times and then get a 10 hardness conundrum I've never heard of to leave me on 99. That'll be the end of that

Elwin Carlos

Elwin Carlos Wow, cutoff is now 107. Don't anybody dare score more than 145!

Fi Thorne

Jason Turner

Fi Thorne

Fi Thorne Maybe Andy could run a sub tourney for all the people who crashed out in round one! :-)

Dave Kempshall

Dave Kempshall Well, everyone under 107 is gone already thanks to Matt's 142.

Matt OC

Andres S.

Andres S. Well Matt's con is certainly what we're all seeking now. Honestly Matt though, vwd on a solid score.

Let's see if someone gets 146+ to see if only the 110's and above remain...

Zohaib Rehan

Zohaib Rehan Want to settle this by playing a 1v1 15 rounder instead, no luck involved?

Andy SC

Andy SC The intention is to run it out to a conclusion against Prune

Zohaib Rehan

Zohaib Rehan So be it thought it would only be fitting since our lifetime h2h is 2-2 but suppose there will be no such luck when i'm piledriving him to oblivion (this sounds beyond lame but i need a quick retort and am not fully invested in the wacky Wrestling nomenclature).

Zohaib Rehan

Zohaib Rehan And it's what the people want

Zohaib Rehan

Zohaib Rehan Or I could go out on a misclick ggs

Andy SC

Andy SC DING DING DING!!! WE HAVE A WINNER - SAM CAPPLEMAN-LYNES!!!

Well done to Zohaib on finishing as runner-up. Thanks to everyone else that played.

Damian McEvoy

Damian McEvoy Superb tweaked format Andy, thanks for running it. Monthly would be awesome. ;-) Well done Sam!

Andy SC

Andy SC @Damian - something that could be run to different variants with slight tweaks here and there to find a good formula.

Fi Thorne

Fi Thorne It was great having it all on one page so we could see what was happening! If there's any way of doing a similar tourney, but where lower ranked players have more chance of staying in for longer, that would be amazing! :-)

Damian McEvoy

Damian McEvoy Oh yeah that'd be great, like where 100 or more is required for Round 1 and then the minimum keeps ticking up a notch.

Fiona T

Fiona T Think the format works well as it is tbh :) But could have a 'B' tourney for players rated < 1500 or something?

Gerry Tynan

Gerry Tynan Despite getting wiped out in the first round this time, I like the format. Everyone not playing the same game allows for a bit of luck that might let us non-elite players get a bit of a run.

Tourney round: Royal Rumble: Battle Royal

<< Battle Royal Special - sign-up page | 2023 Sign-up page >>

Notes from the organizer: Welcome to the first installment of the Apterous Battle Royal. Here is the rules that will be followed throughout:

1. All games played will be Standard 15.
2. All games will be against Apterous Prune
3. All games are to be played within one sitting. If for any reason you have to leave during a game then please let me know as soon as possible. I will judge if the reasoning is valid or not. 25% of your score will be deducted if I consider that questionable activity has taken place.
4. You will have at least two full days to play each game. Failure to play your game will result in you being eliminated from the tournament because there will be no extensions.
5. To remain in the tournament you must score within 25% of the highest scoring player for the round.
6. Once we get to the stage where we have 10 or less players the percentage threshold will reduce by 1% until we have a winner.
7. The deadline for each round will be detailed next to the name of first player that appears alphabetically in the following format - (Date) - Round #.
8. It's up to players to play their game on time. I'm not going to chase you up to play your game. I will post when there is one day left for each round in the comments section.
