FUN TOURNAMENT	Sat, 01 August 2009 13:31

To fill the gap between League Season 3 and the beginning of the NC / League Season 4, I thought we could play a Fun Tournament including some nice variants as in Heroes Quick Tournament by Colo. I thought of playing a series of 5 games (snake, 5 tix min, 8+ no more, draw open, no5or6) with rules like in All Around Tournament in small groups with 4 or 5 players. Thought time frame is Aug 08 - End of September. If you are interested, please tell me. Cheers DN PS: For further information, take a look at the TICKI FUN PAGE.

Seven players so far.... Check out the Ticki page http://www.informatik.uni-frankfurt.de/~erps/tickipedia/inde x.php/Fun_Tournament for rules and stuff - especially for the variant's rules (as "snake" for example allows to continue ANYWHERE(!) from a built circle!) and penalties.

As I am not really happy with this structure, I hope we will find 2 more players to fit the 16 with 4x4 players on sunday, maybe you can ask some of your friends???? Definitely there will be no prolongation of the registration phase after August 10, 00.00 CEST - registration phase ends in the moment, player 16 subscribes - if you register as # 17 - YOUR FAULT, TOO LATE!!!

Addition to a rule gap: no 5 or 6: --> if your opponent closes the game and you take a 5er or 6er track in your very last turn (with no chance to take tix in the next turn as penalty) you lose the game, irrespective of the points of this game, if your opponent says "penalty" before he takes his last turn!

Hi Dom and all you nuts in this tourney, one minor remark: Dom slightly changed the rules for "8+nono" compared to my original rules. In Dom's rule - if I read it correctly - you would still be allowed to draw for at least one card (that would then have to be a loco) if you have 9 color cards. Since the opponent does not easily see if you have 9 or 10 or more cards (it always shows "8+") I would recommend to get back to the rule that says drawing for color cards is not allowed if you have "8+". Too bad I could not join, I just dont have the capacity at the moment to commit for a tourney like that. I wish you all a lot of FUN ! Colo [Report message to a moderator]

Honor System Smile

i don't think honor system (if that means trusting each other not to break the rules) would solve this, because apparently one of the ideas of this tournament is that you are allowed to break all the rules, but if your opponent catches you at it, there are penalties involved.

Quote:

9) Penalties: If your opponent plays in an inconsistent way to the variant's rule, you have to say "PENALTY" or something like that BEFORE your very next turn! Then and only then, your opponent has to take at least one more tic in his next turn - in the variant no5or6 TWO tix due to the high points of the tracks. Points you get by fouls will not be taken away and count! A playing of penalty-tactics (like making turns with the intension of breaking the rules) is ALLOWED - SO ALWAYS WATCH YOUR OPPONENT'S WAY TO PLAY AND DON'T CLICK TOO FASTLY - AND ALWAYS CRY OUT "PENALTY" IN CASES...

The problem with this specific item is that your opponent can't (easily) call out PENALTY, because it won't be obvious you are breaking the rule.

Re:FUN TOURNAMENT - LAST CHANCE TO REGISTER	Mon, 10 August 2009 17:35

On this rule factor and change from Colo about the 8+ max 10, it will be obvious when they put their trains in because when they put in a 3 train, 10-3= 7 and 7 must then show there, not 8+. So yes in theory it could be only honor system, but there is a way to catch the person without honor. That game is not the concern. The one that concerns me is the no 5/6 version. I have never played that type yet and really wonder about it. I mean, it has to be tough to take certain tickets to Miami, Winnepeg, Portland etc. And potentially the PENALTY note in the no 5/6 games is not enough. This is due to the tremendous benefit a 10 or 15 point play gives plus the use of the track laid to connect one's route needed to complete the other tickets. Can the 2 tix taken be ones a player completes by the end? Not that I will play this way. I just personally think the penalty should be even higher. maybe an immediate loss!
