Yoooo awesome people,
Thanks again to everyone who registered for the tournament, we're very pleased to see so much interest. So far we have a majority of guys, so ladies ladies, step up your game, we're waiting for you!
In order to fine-tune the format of the tournament and inform you in time, we would like to close registration this Saturday at 17:00 CET, the same time as the opening of the tournament the following day.
A little about the rules. We'll start with what's clear and what we don't plan to change yet. We play the established and popular uno with straights, interceptions and super interceptions. Because Badgirl extremely hates time limits, we'll play with a time limit of 6 seconds for the entire tournament, and the score limit for the first round will be 400 points. We are very sorry that we did not specify these ground rules at the beginning. We hope we didn't surprise or disappoint anyone.
As for the overall format, we haven't made a final decision yet. As mentioned above, this type of tournament requires a slightly different approach, so we would like to wait until we know the final number of guys and girls. We can at least briefly introduce you to our current idea of the competition, which seems the easiest to grasp at the moment. We would divide the participants into two basic teams of boys and girls. The two teams will first play separately, this way at the end there will be a best representative or representatives for the boys and for the girls. They will then finally compete in the second part of the tournament and eventually earn their team the victory. We are not saying any numbers yet, this is just an outline and we might still revise it and organize it in a different way. Of course, we also welcome feedback from your side, either privately or here in this thread. In the meantime, just hang in there and don't worry, we'll get back to you soon with more specific information.
In the first post of this discussion you'll soon find the current list of participants, which we'll be keeping up to date. Please check it out and let us know if anyone disagrees with the gender they were assigned. :D
That's all for now, thanks for reading, keep playing, keep training, but also eat and drink and most importantly make sure you get regular sleep to keep fit. Sleep is a great thing. Wake up on Sunday though.
Cheers,
Hujaja and Badgirl
