Dave Robjohns

Dave Robjohns Want to clarify that invalid words are also ignored, I will only count your first 10 valid words which have an obscurity score.

The words without obscurity scores seem to be ones added in more recent dictionary updates, if that helps anyone.

Dave Robjohns I've judged the first 31 dances, although please feel free to double check your scores as I did start to get bored of my 6 & 7 times tables.

So far, Dutchman David Holmes leads the way with 4045 points, just barely sneaking ahead of USA's Stephen R and Jamaica's Adam Latchford.

The best word found (/move performed) so far, worth 693 points, is MOATING - kudos to Ian Volante and Mike Lee for that. Not sure if 700 points is possible!

Still 13 breakers to go, can anyone catch David?!

Dave Robjohns Event 4 of 100:
🥇 🇭🇺 Sam Cappleman-Lynes
🥈 🇺🇸 Martin Thomas
🥉 🇳🇱 Chris Hare

Sam’s consistency gets him a gold, a full 800 points clear of the field, with a lowest obscurity of 39%. Martin had the highest minimum word score of 360 but just found 9 scoring words resulting in a silver medal, and Chris takes bronze - David’s long held lead ultimately ended with 5th position.

693, the maximum score for a word, was hit additionally by Sam with PRONAOI, Chris with TEMENOI and Maus with JAMBEAU

Tourney round: Aptolympics: Paris 2024: Event 5: Breaking (1)

<< Paris 2024: Event 4: Rifle 3 Positions (Rex) | Paris 2024: Event 6: Handicap Golf >>

Notes from the organizer: Breaking is a brand new Olympic sport for 2024. Breaking will see breakers face off in 1-1 battles with a variety of moves, improvising along to a DJ's music, and is fully scored by judges.

I want you to improvise and find the most obscure words you can, using an extra letter provided by the touchdown jnr format. Rather than judge them myself, I'll be using lexplorer.

Scoring will work as the obscurity score lexplorer gives multiplied by the length of the word. For example, "BRONZE" is worth 48 points, with 8% obscurity and 6 length. You'd be better off opting for "BONZER" which scored 67% obscurity and 402 points!

Some words don't have obscurity scores. These will be ignored - I will simply pick your first 10 scoring words.

In July, we'll repeat this event but with Touchdown rules - allowing 9 letter words.

Good luck! Scores will be added here https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_7LILrEOFh2Uv5h1NhEpGVeP1Q4oXlroPXGfaHgVwk8/edit?gid=848861980#gid=848861980 although they may be updated only sporadically.
