...and after 5

It was 5,5,4,4,4. Strange.

After four,

It's 4,4,3,3

Points and priorities

The points are a bit more complicated:
Yesterday, with 6 people, it went 6,5,5,5,4,4
applecore just played, and changed it from 2,2
to 3,3,2.

Since the tournament only tracks points, that is what we've based the winner on. When this started, Bobby had 27, Matt 25, and Barry 6 or something. Matt is now four points behind with seven days to go.

Since they're so easy, there's a premium on speed, though it may be worth the time if a 15-sec Google can get you from 9/10 to perfect.

Next month we could change it up, but since this is just for fun, and an excuse for me to have a 60-second escape each day, and a competition, and a way to share a drink once a month with the winner, I don't care, as long as everyone is happy.

And your proposal to allow points for scores above 940 is I think because when many people play, the winning score is more likely to be above 940. (If one plays, it could be as low 831 and still win). But if only one plays, then they only get one point (maybe 2?).

For this month, just keep it at most points, and we can engage over infinite scoring possibilities over drinks.

First post

There must be an easy way to have blogger allow multiple posters.

How many tourneys is too many?

35 seconds has been scored a couple of times, faster is possible, but I have to be methodical about clicking the radio button. It's easy to miss, which is infuriating to see a 9/10 after reading & answering all of the questions correctly.

Damn you, cushman.
