COLIN X Team Competition
Posted: Mon Jan 20, 2014 10:05 pm
With the kind permission of Ben, I will be running a small team competition at this years COLIN! It should be great fun and wont interfere with the main event too much.
There will be two teams, each of the same size (yet to be decided but hopefully as large as 10), both trying to eliminate each other.
Each player will play one head to head against a player from the other team, this game will be a 3 rounder with each player scoring a point for winning a round. The head to heads will have different round set ups to be as varied as possible (LLN, LNC, NNC, NNN...), and the loser of each head to head is eliminated. That is, if you win or tie your head to head you stay in the match.
After all head to heads are done, the surviving players go through to the conundrum finale. Each team agrees an order for their surviving players and then lines them up in that order. The two players at the front of the queue will face off in a conundrum, the winner (if nobody solves it they face another) of the conundrum goes to the back of their line UNSCATHED, but the loser goes to the back of their line with only 1 life remaining. The next two players will then face a conundrum and so on, with players being eliminated when they have lost two conundrums and the last team with one or more players remaining being declared the winners!
In terms of fitting this around the schedule of the main COLIN tourney, we will be looking to have the teams sorted before round 1 of COLIN, then we hope players will play their head to heads between rounds 1 and 2 or COLIN, with the final taking place between rounds 2 and 3 or COLIN.
Hopefully each team will be able to decide between themselves which head to head each player goes in, but should they not be able to reach a decision, captain's decision is final. Again in deciding the order of players for the finale, captain has final say.
Please express an interest in this thread if you would like to be included in the team tournament. Should it be oversubscribed, we will pick people at random to play.
