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! :twisted:

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. :biggrin:

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. :biggrin: 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. :smile: 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.

oohhhhh, ok :embarrassed: I should really know these things!

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

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

lol.. yes... it is the one used in the tandem rooms... (hehe @ BM btw) but there'll be no tandem. Less hassle for me... utter laziness.. hey whaddya want? :razz: lol

What if you can't find someone to be in your team!! :razz:

Then you rename yourself 'Billy nomates' :razz:, seriously.. I'm sure a lot of people would love to play with you tiggs... *wink* ask around xx

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

sounds like fun, I shall see if I can find someone to play with.

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

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

/me think Buffs doth protest too much about organising tadem :twisted:

* Facey;83577 think Buffs doth protest too much about organising tadem :twisted:

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. :razz:

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

/me giggles and runs away from Facey...

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

Ooo... I had a glare like that once before from our Buffers... left me trembling in ma pink timberlands, so it did :sad:

That was only because I found out you were married... and just... didn't... love.. me... the....same.... waaaaaaaaah!

Sexy minx :razz:

LMFAO@ fenders angels, i love it very funny.

*NoHints deletes his post to escape Buffers' fiery wrath.

I woulda referred you to a chocolate truffle poll... bit it came out even :sad: lol

/me says nothing (wisely)

Shameless Bump...3 days to get entries in. :biggrin:

Oh Team Mate...... serious swotting to do fella... and I don't mean swotting your fleas :razz:

when are you going to start this roughly? Im trying to convince my partner to play.

It'll be June Dean.... :razz:

Thanks guys for your pms, I'll be in touch late tonight as I've just finished a VERY long shift at work and I'm also at work tonight... but I will be in touch as soon as I'm back in my body. xx

Right mods... I'm double posting... merge me :razz:

This tourny probably wonts start for a couple of weeks... I have brilliant teams but people have lives and I'd rather work around them and have them in the double dash than not. :smile:

The set up has also been changed: there will be two teams competing in the final and the number of draws will be adjusted to suit.

Spectators will be welcome by arrangement with room mods only.

I'll be back when I have more news.

Put Felicia and myself down for team TAB :P

Done, Deano :biggrin:

Next round will be Sunday! Details coming soon...

lol @ Buffers edit reason.

I completely forgot it was tonight.
I'm bad at calculating scores. But I'll be ready. Just don't be expecting me to calculate fast :P

Oh and if I suddenly go ";akdjslkfjaljflfksjfklds;fjkllsjfsfkldjfsdkfdsfsdl kfsjfdls" during the game while no one is talking, it means I fell asleep and my head hit the keyboard. I didn't sleep too good. :rolleyes: And not because you guys are a bore!

Anyway, I'm looking forward to it, and good luck to everyone taking part :)

Edit: *gasp!*
It's the Apprentice final today :( I didn't want to miss the eeeeend.. that's where they tell you who won! I'd better record it.

I hate to cause probs, but I will not be at home on Sunday until 7 UK time, at the earliest...

:(

lol @ Buffers edit reason.

I completely forgot it was tonight.
I'm bad at calculating scores. But I'll be ready. Just don't be expecting me to calculate fast :P


When I was being an op for the last tournament, I used a spreadsheet to do it (sad, i know). You can get the scores to people pretty much as soon as it's finished though.

On second thoughts, the adverts say that your Mac isn't designed to do boring things like spreadsheets so maybe you shouldn't do that:twisted:

are harry and i in the next one, buffers? x

Yes. sweetheart you are... stay posted... there may be an addage to tonight's match!

eek...my mouse has died! LxR won't be tonight's addage :p

The final line up for tonight's game is:

ISK - WildCherry & Cunny_Funt

WEG - paintedlady & Katie.Lemon

RTP - Piggie & FairyNuff

TIC - Fender & TempusFugit

N-G - Fy_Nyte & NoHints

PMT - Jewels and Vik

Good luck everyone!

A practice room will be opened about 9... :biggrin:

Hmm, I don't know if you've heard from Piggie, but the last text message I had from her, was along the lines of 'I'm peeeee'd off cos my computer won't work.'

So I have NO idea if I have a partner for tonights game. I'll text her now, see what the score is with her STOOOOPID computer!

Good luck all you guys ..One day Ill learn how to play and try a tourney lol

I can't get on isketch at present as there is a jewels already on, and a jewel aswell, If this is still the case when the tournament starts i will have to try jewels1.

Just wanted to say thanks to Buffs for organising everything! And also Nerday for being Mod/Score Calculator!

Great game all round =)

Congrats to Fender and TF! :biggrin:

Looking forward to spectating in the next heat =)

CONGRATS to the Barking monkey, and his lovely assistant, the time piece that everyone, would love to have tied round them T.F.

*Me steals the barking monkey's magic pen, and watch him struggle using a mouse mwahahahaha :twisted:

* I must admit, i was on my best behaviour last night, as Buffers refused to give special credit to me :cry:. I want that money back buffers, you promised me, considering your prices are down right, DAY LIGHT ROBBERY !!!! If anyone wishes to know, how much she charged me pm me .... hehehehehe

I lubs ya really buggers... ooo i mean BUFFERS x-x-x-x-x


Kelly

I would really like a rematch, i forgot to turn me hearing aid up, and i couldn't see a darn thing because of it. Oh well always next time, only this time i will steal WildCherry's special batteries, so as she can not be distracted by strange things :biggrin:

Well done to the tourney mod's for putting on a good show, where was the half time refreshments ????

Question for Nerdy, and her very sexeh Verdy

How many abacus did you have to use, to count up the scores ?? I could see the smoke hun, but i thought it was you sending me those signals again, you know the one's that I'm on about :biggrin:


Toddles for now

Kelly

xxx

Thanks everyone for your good wishes :biggrin: It was a great game, but let's face it - if it weren't for Fender I certainly wouldn't be anywhere :razz:

/me hugs Fender xxxx

Question for Nerdy, and her very sexeh Verdy

How many abacus did you have to use, to count up the scores ?? I could see the smoke hun, but i thought it was you sending me those signals again, you know the one's that I'm on about :biggrin:


ROFL! Who told you I was using an abacus? Was it AJ?! No one was supposed to know :sad:
/me sends Cunny some more signals... ;)
Purrr :P

I had to pay AJ, for the information.... although i didn't have to pay that much hehehehe


*Cunny accepts these signals, grabs her flippty flops, books a flight and meets Nerdy .. woo hoo ;)

/me hugs his team-mate xxx

Sorry I rushed off pretty sharpish after the tourny, I'd been nursing a headache since I got home and needed to get some shuteye (that'll teach me to go to Chelmsford.) It was a great round with some hysterical moments :eek:

Awww fender it's such a pity that you dashed off, you missed the end of show party, Nerdy get pished and fell off her chair, T.F. started to get us all up on the bar to dance, although as you know i didn't need my arm put up my back to join in the festivities... lol but that is all i am at liberty to say, if i say anymore they have swore to gag me again. and i don't mean the kinky kind :eek:

wtg Fen, perhaps there should be a handicap whenever your in a team ;)

Yes, I think the handicap should be around the 30 point region.

Was fun, thankyou buffers and msnerd.

Sorry vik i really let you down.

well done to all that got through.

Haha, don't be daft, it was a laugh, I'd partner you again in a second :)

Can't wait for the next game!

Congrats Fen and TF. I don't know how he does it TF, seems at times to be psychotic, almost answering correctly before the draw. Umm...would that be psychic?

I bet when Fender pings himself he gets a negative number.

LMAO!!! I don't know why, but that statement made me literally laugh out loud :razz:

/me goes off chuckling...

/me reads this thread and blushes - TF, it was team effort :embarrassed:

Sam, I am phychotic but I dunno i it helps me play iSketch unless noobs are around.

http://img145.imageshack.us/img145/1997/jewelsbra2fe5.gif

Some of the contestants got a little over-excited. :twisted:

ROFL! Well done for screencapping those. :razz: I totally missed a lot of the comments because I couldn't even look at the game box, it was moving too fast and hurting my eyes/making me feel a little dizzy. lol. 12 people playing and typing very fast.. vrroom! I don't think I've ever seen the game box move so fast XD

/me lends her abacus to Fender to do the scoring in the next round :P

Monday 18th June 02:00 BST

This is 2:00 A.M, right? Hope my teammate can stay awake :razz:

What the hell, is that 3 in the morning for me?

Oh well. I can plan my own schedule the next two weeks so I'll... fit it in :D. I'm an evening person anyway sense, so it'll be alright. We'll just call this the 'extended evening'

2 a.m.? I hope I'm awake!

It's 2am for me too! Plus.. I'm at work 'til 10 that night. :razz: I figured the best way to be fair was to focus this around the aussies.... as a match hasn't before. Thanks for being so understanding Nay, I appreciate it. Would be a shame to lose anyone... should be a great game!

I'm up til 3am most nights anyway, so it's not a problem for me. I just need to get practising in rooms other than English Easy to stand a chance.

Okay, so it'll be a UK word list then? Idk what the aussies use, but can we keep it UK so we're not doing our heads in trying to think American at 2 a.m? Please.

Also, what kind of hints are allowed for bp? sounds like and number of syllables like in Expert?

As us kiwis/aussies spell the UK way ... my vote is for the UK wordlist. Just in case that makes it easier for u buffers. And a huge thank u for those staying up late - to play/watch or moderate our matches. MUCH appreciated.

so, if it's BST, wouldn't it be 6 PM for us?
/me bangs her head on the laptop

It should be 7pm for you, hun.
Edit: Actually, you've just confused me...

Edit edit: you're 7 hours behind us (currently) so yeah it's 7pm.

but.. but..

okay. never mind.
/me shuts up

7pm it is.

lol, I may be wrong still. If I am, try and be on msn and I'll find you when it starts.

Oh and Buffs (our hostess).. One coffee, milk with no sugar, please. ;)

I'm sleepy :rolleyes:

You'll have to wait like everyone else :razz: and drink coffee like I had to lol

You'll have to wait like everyone else :razz: and drink coffee like I had to lol

Hey, I asked for one. You never made it!
It's okay though, I'm drinking coke out of a 2 ltr bottle. ROFL. :twisted:
I will not giggle in pink. I promise.

I could go to sleep... but I love the tourney matches :D

Practice room is now open! :biggrin:

I could go to sleep... but I love the tourney matches :D

SamIamPA... (that's 10 hours after the time of this post) :biggrin:

Fender is doing me a huge favour and opening the practice room at 22:00 (an hour beforehand) as I'll just be coming home from work. Try and be familiar with the rooms before the tourny final starts if you can. See you tonight!

Time to be nervous again :eek:

Just have a drink or two, and you'll be fine.

(Can't guarantee you get too many points though. I mean if it hadn't been for Sense I wouldn't have played tonight)

Oh, I forgot this is tonight.

Good luck, everyone! :)

Good luck all!

I'm sure it will be you pulling me through this time, Nay :-)

just finished watching it, skipped off to AE. (of course.)

anyways, good job to everyone who played, it was fun to watch.

*NoHints pulls out the grey hairs that appeared during the tournament.

Well done to team TAB:razz:

Yeah well done everyone, and thanks for the organisation and participation. It was/is worth being tired the next day. I'm sure I'll look glorious in the morning!

Congratulations to Dean and Felicia - you played a fantastic game :biggrin:

Special thanks to Buffers - without you - none of this would have happened!

And also thanks to jewels and storm who moderated tonight. It was a brilliant match with no hitches (that I was aware of anyway :razz:)

A special hug goes to my wonderful team mate Fender. You did yourself proud xxxx

Woo, that was loads of fun :biggrin:

Congrats to team TAB!

Congratulations to team TAB (Deano and Feli). Well done to everyone who took part, it was great to watch :) (especially the tandem rounds!)

Can I just say that Fender and sense/net should NOT be allowed to draw food together in Tandem, because of this:

When I see pizza or pasta, I start to crave it. And that picture was awesome! Had my stomach rumbling for a long while! :razz:

And TF did excellent considering she had a lag/bad ping!
/slap tiscali

Well done Buffers for doing such a fab job of organising the tournament! (I'm a little disappointed with the lack of non-alcoholic drinks though. Or is Cunny to blame for that? :P). You did great, hun :) And well done to the mods; jewels, Fender and stormy with your super fast calculations! :)

/me gives Buffs a sloppy kiss XD

Hello Buffers

Remember me ? I'm that girl you left standing all alone... well anyway i won't go any further into that....:razz:

You lied to me yet again hun......... you told me that i could be a MOD, if i had the proper attire. Well i went out specially that day, to buy something to suit the occasion. OMG how many Oxfam and help the AGED shops did i visit ? and now tourny is over, they don't even offer blinking refunds, what utter codswallop that is.

If it hadn't of been for TF, my tandem draws would've sucked. * draws a little man on a boat shouting '05/07' *

It was good fun! Great game(s) everyone!!

Way to go feli and dean, i got out in the first round to make sure you got in with a chance of winning.

any ideas for the next tournament?

yeah .... Karaoke isketchers :eek:

Maybe an 'Anything But...' tournament? No one ever plays that. Could be a challenge

i vote for Animals (Easy).

blitz :P

I'm no good at it, but it'll be fun :-) I wonder if you can do tandem blitzes...

something custom maybe. Like everyone only gets 10 guesses, and it's a UK easy word list. :twisted:
