M S R One thing I forgot to say...I know when inviting tactical play that you lot are a tricksy bunch...So I reserve the right to lob a surprise or two in there should the need arise/I feel like it. Don't say I didn't warn you :D

Adam Latchford one of every fifteen rounder include all the langs?

M S R Alas not-just those listed in the link :)

Adam Latchford all those listed in the link + finnish, i like your thinking

Dave Robjohns If you score highest, then score highest again, do you need to keep scoring highest in every single round after that to stay in? Or are you back to relative safety after those two?

M S R You need to keep scoring the highest, which I imagine won't be a challenge in any way shape or form :P

Sam Cappleman-Lynes The rule about scoring the lowest seems very easy to game. Half the field deliberately score zero in games 1, 3, 5... and the other half of the field deliberately score zero in games 2, 4, 6...

Matthew Tassier Can't see why we would want to do that, Sam.

MSR, does an eliminated player lose all their points or remain in the league table?
How long per tournament round? I'm guessing it's going to be pretty short.

M S R Eliminated players are gone, out for good. Rounds won't be too long, will have a full schedule knocked together soon

I know these rules can be gamed. Tactics are the fun part here. But I can also lob other stuff in for a laugh if I want to. You may be one step ahead, but I'm forever catching up :P

Adam Latchford maybe eliminating last person to fin(n)ish their game that round to stop people waiting until they know where to fit in (obviously people could just wait until second to last but you could get a fun scrap of two people trying to do that simultaneously)

Sean D I really like Adam's suggestion, otherwise there'll just be a lot of hanging around until there's a decent range to aim for

Sam Cappleman-Lynes Matthew, it was because I had only skimmed the rules and thought it was a last-man-standing job rather than a total points job :)

If it was simply last-man-standing, then having two people alternating between scoring zero and scoring a small non-zero amount would render the second elimination rule pointless. But they obviously won't do that if their points are being counted!

M S R Nw Sam! Feedback has been an interesting one...Latchford's rule I like so will incorporate...SO (add to elimination)

-If you are in the LAST FIVE people to complete their game (judged by timing on the game), you must avoid repeating that in the following round. Otherwise, it's curtains

(I will clarify all rules via Aptomail. And keep feedback coming! It's interesting to see what you lot come up with :D)

Matthew Tassier Will that FIVE reduce when there are fewer contestants left in?
