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.

Note that currently, "Checkins" only refelcts the number of players who either participated in game 1 or who checked in to the Team Heroes Open Invitational II event on facebook, via FT, or email.

Other players from your team may intend to participate. I have also since updated my database to additionally reflect players who participated on other days this month (but not game 1).

CRK81 It would seem that I'm the only one from our team who is playing at the moment. If anyone wants to merge that would be great. If not, I'll have to play as a free agent.

DireWolf74 Terra Nova would like to merge with the Midwest USA Players to become the Midwest Novas.

Thanks Kyle for all the work you've put in to this, you're doing a great job and it sure is alot of fun for everyone.

Mergers for the Invitational have no bearing on actual FT team structures. Basically, you're participating in the Invitational as a unit, but your teams on FunTrivia remain intact. You do not actually have to merge.

Same goes for Free Agency. You do not actually have to abandon your FT team. You're just counted as a Free Agent on my end for the purposes of the game. Some players appear to struggle with the idea of participating as a Free Agent. It's really just a way for you to participate with other players from under-represnted teams or who are otherwise unaffiliated with a team. Think of a Free Agent team as a sort of merged team.

Kyle,

Can I get back to you asap re Scotland the Brains. Can we continue as Scotland the Brains even though only 4 played on the 3rd March and could you please let me know our registered players so I can chase one or two others up.

Thanks, Steve

papo2228 We'd like to accept one or two members just for this tournament of a given list for the Homo Sapiens.

TemptressToo

You can lock in the QMG. We had near 100% participation last round, so we should be fine with our 7-8 commitments.
