Topic: Wit's End Team Heroes Open Invitational

Posted by: JCSon

Subject: Wit's End Team Heroes Open Invitational
Date: Jan 23 13

This virtual blog will function as a meeting place for discussion centered around this Invitational so that facebook users and non-facebook users alike can enjoy the competition together. We already have over 100 players registered representing 24 FunTrivia teams. Please see the game details (originally included in our Wit's End facebook event posting):


Wit's End, a private tournament hosted by Funtrivia.com, invites you to our first Team Heroes Open Invitational.

DESCRIPTION:
This challenge is based on the Team Heroes game design at FunTrivia.com:
1. Your team does not score for the day unless a minimum of 5 team members post a score.
2. Your team score is the average of your top 5 scoring team players.
3. Your participation cannot lower your team score.

Team Heroes games will run every third day at Wit's End (http://www.funtrivia.com/private/main.cfm?tid=37636) during the month of February and will include only pre-built categories (to ensure fair play). You will have nine opportunities to score for your team on Feb 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, and 27.

TEAM AFFILIATION:
Any players that are members of exisitng FunTrivia teams may represent those teams. Players who are not affiliated with an FT team, whose affiliation is unknown, or whose existing teams are not well represented will be assigned to a Free Agent team formed by the tournament administrator. Alternatively, players may request to form a team of their own.

REGISTRATION:
Players are asked to register participation or check in via the event posted by Wit's End on facebook (https://www.facebook.com/events/570165523010826/) or by emailing the tournament administrator (JCSon1982@gmail.com). This will help the tournament administrator match names and usernames, determine your team affiliation, and establish a method of contact in case you should win one of the prizes.

PRIZES:
1) BEST TEAM: The team with the best record at the end of the month will receive a feature on the Wit's End facebook page. (VALUE: priceless)
2) BEST TEAM MVP: The MVP of the winning team at the end of the month will receive a 12 month FunTrivia.com gold membership to be used or transferred at the recipient's discretion. (VALUE: $38)
3) SUPERHERO: All players whose scores are in their team's top 5 scores for all nine Team Heroes games will be entered into a random drawing for one nifty trivia-related prize. (VALUE: $15-$25)
4) HERO: All players who make their team's top 5 at least once will be entered into a random drawing for one small trivia-related prize. (VALUE: $5-$15)

OUTREACH:
If you are a member of a FunTrivia team, please post to your team message boards (if it hasn't popped up there already) and invite your team members to participate! Remember, you need at least 5 players per team per day to register a team score. Also, feel free to use the "Invite Friends" button at the facebook event to share with your facebook friends.



Please feel free to leave feedback for the site administrators. We will take all feedback into account as we tweak and add new features.
The old reply to thread function was removed because it got to the point where people weren't even reading the announcements and assuming, by default, that they were somehow being wronged or forgotten or insulted or abused or cheated out of something in some manner.

I was a Free Agent in February. Can I join a new team for the March tourney?

Great job Kyle. Would definitely be interested in March.

salami_swami: You will not be required to check in if you already have done so. Players new to Wit's End, who have not previously checked in, or who are changing User IDs will need to check in.

Qmel: Sure. Players whose teams are under-represented will have an opportunity to join Free Agents or play for a merged team. You do not have to play for the same merged team or Free Agent team you played for in the first Invitational.

Kyle? If you answered my question about bringing in another player from Tesla Coil to the "50 Tesla Chicken Calculators" team this late, it has scrolled off the shoutbox. I'm going to try to talk him into playing, and if his score will count, hooray! And if it won't, that's okay, too -- I don't know yet if he's going to play. He's had terrible problems with his new PC, and didn't want to sign up at the onset while he was just trying to stay connected. Now, he's up and running, and it would be great if he could play at least the last game.

If it's okay, and if he plays, I'll let you know his name and that he is playing for us after the fact. If not, just disregard this message!

Thanks!

Elle

Hi Elle,

I accept registrations throughout the tournament. So long as your player is from your team (or one of the teams of your merged team), it's just fine.

Best,

Kyle

I'm in!

And I'm sure the 50 Tesla Chicken Calculators will all want to play again, too.

So far, on our Team MB, the Tesla Coil portion of our Invitational Team is all saying yes, yes, yes, so let's do it again!

papo2228 If you're so kind as to send us a formal invitation we'll try to get The Homo Sapiens to play. So far I have four people who accepted. Congratulations on your excellent work!!!

No formal invitations this time. Feel free to reference post #278. I'm counting on players to spread the word around without me having to go to the great lengths I did last time to get the ball rolling.

One sponsor has stepped forward to offer a 12 month gold membership for the Hero Award in March!

I'm definitely in again!

MANY thanks for all your great work Kyle!

Best of luck for the new arrival and I hope it all goes wonderfully well. My advice is not to make too many firm plans for pba (post-baby-arrival) :-)

I don't understand, how is the tournament over ON the 28th and not AFTER the 28th?

Reply #298. Feb 28 13, 9:12 PM

jabb5076

Uh, because the last tournament game was held on the 27th. The games for this tourney were held every third day throughout February.

Uh, I thought this was the Wit's End Tournament that has the standings on the Private Tournament page. It's played everyday.
