| Stu Harkness Relations should score -666 |
| Adam Latchford 10 players is very markable, gonna close the sign ups once the tournament starts on March 1st so if anybody wants to join the horror fun then nows the time to do it :-) |
 | Tim Down I think I scored 44. It was a journey through peaks and troughs of motivation and enjoyments over (I think) three sessions. A lot of early mistakes and the reality of a whole mocktorun of this shit prompted a bit of a low and a run of not really bothering. My final session was much better and made me wish I'd tried a bit harder early on. |
| Tim Down Thanks for organising, Adam. It was kinda fun. |
| Adam Latchford Kinda fun is my niche <3 |

| Adam Latchford 3 players left to play with 3 weeks left, great effort all cracking through this |
 | Fi Thorne I didn't realise what a mocktorun is in all honesty! So don't worry about waiting to mark mine as not sure I will get through it before the deadline so might just use it as practise rounds! |
| Adam Latchford You can do it in multiple settings or play it however you want don't worry! |
| Adam Latchford 10 and a bit days left, launching reach your rating again in april to start in may so will 100% cut this off on first april :-) |
| Adam Latchford Congrats to Rob and thanks all for playing in this silly lil shitshow! |
Tourney round: DEAD DOWN: DEAD DEAD DEAD DEAD
Notes from the organizer: DEAD DOWN. You will play a singular mocktorun - and your goal is to declare as many words that were purged in any dictionary update. They can have been purged at any time whatsoever - and you will be scored accordingly (a dead 9 is worth 18 points).
However - if you declare a word that is currently valid - you will be penalised by however many points that has scored.
Numbers + Conundrums count for absolutely nothing, play them however you want. Even if there was a valid 9 there (phentole/telephone) it's just easier for me to completely ignore.
Allow me a bit of time to actually score these accurately - if you want to write what you think your final score is in the game at the end then that'd be welcome! Good luck!
