 | Elwin Carlos Sorry Chris, I appear to be missing this one from my list of unplayed games |
| Elwin Carlos Argh ignore this one too, I appear to have already played it! |
| Sean D Does an invalid word or failure to declare mean disqualification? |
 | Chris Hare No, you would still score the participation point. |
| Sean D But ruled out of the poetry comp, presumably? |
| Chris Hare In theory, if there were fewer 20-word entries than would fill the podium, I'd probably look at the 19-word entries next, and so on. |
| Show all comments | |
| Sarah Binns I've seen the other entries thus far and I am in the running for once. |
 | David Holmes Reasonably pleased with that. It even almost rhymes at the end! |
 | Adrian Fletcher My poem is titled "Oh shit, I've pressed M there" |
| Wesley Barton Well, at least there's the bonus point. Wish I'd been paying more attention |
| Chris Hare All poems have now been added to the Poetry Corner tab on the spreadsheet. If you'd like yours to be construed differently, please let me know.

Tourney round: The Twelve Games of Chris-mas: Vol. III: So, Hare it is, Merry Chris-mas: Game Four
Notes from the organizer: Game Four!
Are you waiting for opponents to arrive?
Do you read Chat and die a bit inside?
Is Tracey telling Robin,
That Man U are the best?
Did you get a nine but no-one was impressed?
Well, here it is, Merry Chris-mas;
It's poem-writing time!
If you want to be a show-off
You might even make yours rhyme...
Yes, it's time for the groaning buffet table of creativity that is the Apterous Annual Poetry Slam, also known as Game Four.
"I think this is my favourite apto tourney round ever" - Matty Artell, 2023-12-16 10:59:09
I'd like you to write me a poem using a Touchdown Jnr Letters Attack. Your poem must be composed of valid declarations, read in order from Round 1 to Round 20, and must use all the rounds in between. Poems will be judged entirely subjectively by me, so there won't be any ties. If you would like to give your poem a title, please do so in the comment section on your game's page.
The BONUS TOURNAMENT POINT will be awarded to any player who achieves at least four maxes during the game.
If you have any questions about the rules, scoring, or anything else pertaining to this tourney, please feel free to ask.
