Tourney round: The Twelve Games of Chris-mas: Vol. IV: The Holly and The: Game Seven

<< Game Six | Game Eight >>

Notes from the organizer: Game Seven! Starve a fever, feed a cold.

Last year, I gave you an Instant Conundrum Attack and asked you to declare the letters in alphabetical order. The good news is that I'm not going to ask you to do that again. Hooray! The bad news is that I'd like you to unscramble the conundrum and declare the letters in REVERSE alphabetical order instead. Boo!

The player with the most correctly-reverse-alphabetised declarations will win. In the event of a tie, the player who makes their correct declarations in the smaller total time will win. If, somehow, there's still a tie, the player with the fastest single correct declaration will win. Any further ties will result in a match-fixing investigation.

The BONUS TOURNAMENT POINT will be awarded to any player who makes no incorrectly reverse-alphabetised declarations.

If you have any questions about the rules, scoring, or anything else pertaining to this tourney, please feel free to ask.
