Hm I've never played in an iSketch tourney before. Can anyone explain how they normally work?

And I think the continent thing would be a nice idea. But it seems the Europe team would have a lot more people ;P

Perhaps you could have a competition for each area, Europe, Aust, USA etc... and then pick the top few from those competitions to represent their area, so that the same amount are competing when it comes down to international games. It makes for a long tournament but it's probably the most exciting way to do it and I'm sure I'd follow it closely.

__________________

Farkin good idea Dean. I nominate you to organise it.

If you can think of more areas, or how you want it to work.. shout out.
for instance,Europe could be divided between the English speaking parts and the non-English speaking parts.

__________________

So.. the UK and ROI and everywhere else then? What do I count as? Love the idea btw, count me in - I like Lumi's idea of having a few rounds to decide the competitors, like they do in the world cup.

__________________

Great idea Dean (+Lumiére), I'll probably not have the time to enter this one though. It would nice to see some less known people entering as well as the usual crowd; we do have 2,500 members...

Actually 1953 as of this post. Have to check for the real number in the members list.

And how would a team tourney work? Something like 2 teams play in one room, and the highest total of team members' scores wins?

__________________

Yeah, I would imagine so, Deadpan.

Hey, I'll represent France. English wordlist tournaments?

There are lots of regulars in iSk who don't play in normal English Easy rooms. If we were to expand, like make it a MishMash tournament or Science or English Expert, we would get new competitors, I would imagine.

__________________

Oh yeah, 1953.... that's a lot of leavers/banned people

Maybe this could be the sport the "to and froms" could win at?

Especially if they had NoHints, kisskiss, Fender and some others on their team.

Team AUS - Dean? - BM? - Saffron? - Ruthless? - Scatikins? - b...? - Ozzie_Mozzie? - Could we second Nuka in from across the ditch?

Would we limit it to forum members? I've seen Zette back around of late and she is always a good artist. Although she may not be interested.

I think it would be lovely to have non-forum members too. I'd say the responsibility would have to lay with whoever nominated them to let them know times and dates etc though.

Team Germany - me. :(

__________________

Europeans outside the UK are another team! so the Germans/French/dutch etc can be apart of one team, as the numbers might not be fair..

__________________

Wouldn't the ideal way be to have two or three players from each time in a game at once? (Not necessarily the whole team) Then do that so that everyone had a game, then compare the scores between all teams. That would allow bigger teams. Depends how many teams there are and how big the interest is.

*Cough*Animals (Easy)*Cough*

Otherwise I'll just watch. Or be a room op if I'm needed. :)

__________________

I'd like to see if there is enough interest in this first.If you are interested,pm me.Then I can organize areas and such.then we can figure it out from there.

sounds like a great idea Dean. I'm up for it, time permitting...

Sounds like another great tournament coming up!! Hope everyone enjoys themselves. (I'll opt out of this one though if that's ok - but doesn't mean I don't wish you all well). xxx

Good to see some interest so far, I'd like to know where everyone is from in case I don't know.And If you can spread it to others who might not generally read this forum or participate in these tournaments.
