Double Trouble Dash!

Double Trouble Dash!

Team Tournament!

This is a team tournament with two rounds, a heat, and a final. There will be no semi-final.

Teams

All teams will consist of two players of your own choosing, please pm me with your players and 3 letter team name, and the dates/times you would usually be available.

The idea of this tourny is to have fun... but you will be expected to follow rules... they will be similar to previous tournies... please try to adhere to them...don't make me need to spank you!

Scoring


[left]Each player will play as an individual but their totaled scores will be that of their team. For instance:
Player 1: 76
Player 2: 105
Team HUH: 181

The top 5 scores from the heats will compete in the final.


Heats


I propose the following for the heats:

1. UK easy/US easy (dependent on player vote)
2. TWBP US/UK (as above)
3. Double Trouble

This is, as stated before, a two-themed tourny.

I will make a selection of rooms for the finalists to vote for and the majority voted room will be played. None of these rooms will be UK easy, but rooms such as TWBP and Big Picture will be included.

Note: There will be no 'warm up' easy round in the final, the word list selected will be played for 3 rounds.

Volunteers to mod would be gratefully accepted.

Please get your teams in to me by 4th June. Then the heats can be arranged according to the times/dates players are available.

Please don't be put off if you are from the US or Australia/New Zealand. There are some great players from these areas and I don't mind staying up late/early for you guys! I would love you to be part of this and I'm sure everyone else would too!


Please get your applications in to me by pm asap so that I can find you a place. The general idea is to give you something to have fun with... a little competitive, but not so much I have to separate people! lol I know I'd rather have played in a team that solo!

Oh wow!! Sounds great Buffs! (yes, I know I said that before but I mean it)

One question, through my ignorance to out-of-the-ordinary, is double trouble like tandem? (ty to NH and nutty for teaching me how to play tandem btw)

Double trouble simply has two word phrases Facey... like 'Hot Sausage' and 'Garden Hose'. All the word list items have two words. It's not like tandem as their is no tandem drawing.. i suppose you could do that in UC, but I'm not intending to.

Double Trouble is the word list used in the Tandem rooms (unless you're Bad_ManNeR$, then apparantly it's 2 words from UK easy..... )

Also, it's not always 2 words, some have 3 but with words like "and" in the middle e.g. Rock and Roll

You can use me for all your emptiness-in-your-team needs, if you want (don't feel obliged).

I need a partner too if anyone wants to team up with me (edit: I've had a flood of PM's but unfortunately, I'm now taken. Sorry for such a disappointment )

One more question, now I know the wordlist, is it like 2WBP without the BP? So we draw each word separately?

* Facey think Buffs doth protest too much about organising tadem

The Big Picture and Double trouble wordlists can be drawn separately or as a big picture.

Oh and as for the tandem comment... I'm not playing.. so I don't see how.

Also.. facey if ya wanna volunteer to make sure all the players in the same teams draw together.... ;)

* Buffers giggles and runs away from Facey...


Glad you found a team-mate.. wouldn't be the same without you.. ya tinker!

Anyone care to join team Billy No Mates (BNM)?
Lots of free space, as you can imagine!

(As soon as another member has joined the team, we can go for a name change, if you insist).
