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.

Just a note of thanks to you for all the work you have put into running the Wit's End Open. This is only a game. Don't understand all the confusion.

deadhead101 Amen Kyle! I agree wholeheartedly. I just can't understand why there was a problem with a day that wasn't ever to be counted for the teams. I apologize for letting it get to me, and stating my opinion too strongly. No ill will towards anyone, just want to keep having fun. Keep up the good work!

I'm having a nice time, and have no complaints. What do you want for free?

I am on central daylight savings. I had the World of Art, but here it changed around 9:00 PM. Either way it is fun playing in this Tournament and I think you are doing a great job as coordinator. Keep up the good work. Sorry I was late playing Tar-fan.

Just for the record, I wasn't complaining or whining, I was agreeing with JCSon.

Hi Kyle,

Wow! In my quest to attempt to sort out what might have happened, I now realize I could have played a third topic that day -- the Art quiz! I missed that one entirely.

I'm on Mountain Daylight Time, and if I had logged in earlier, I would have seen that quiz, too, adding to the confusion later.

I do think it's all sorted out now, but yow, what a mess for you. I am so sorry this happened, but it just proves, once and for all, that Daylight Savings Time is EVIL and should be abolished! It is so archaic.

I know Arizona doesn't "spring ahead; fall back" and neither does... maybe Indiana? I can't remember, but I do remember how glorious it was the year I lived in AZ to not have to adjust to the crazy time changes that wreak havoc with sleep schedules. And apparently, trivia sites and tournaments.

You explained it all beautifully, and I hope you still have hair left -- I think I would have pulled mine out trying to deal with, and then explaining all of this.

So again I say, upward and onward!

JCSon

Elle, just one clarification. Provided Funtrivia runs as Funtrivia does, you can not possibly play more than once in a given tournament in the same Funtrivia day using the same account.

If you had played the art game, you would not have been able to play gell's Pick in the last hour, because your score for the Art game would still count. Resetting the topic before the time's up does not reset the scores already recorded.

And yes, I do have hair left. =)

Just wanted to add my praise of you, JCSon, for a great job on what would be for me, a very daunting task. The work and talent involved in putting on this tournament is mind-boggling! I thank you!

Reply #412. Mar 16 13, 11:38 AM

pyonir I agree with mpkitty. No complaints about categories or anything else from me. I appreciate the time you put into it and will continue to play, even in months without the invitation going on.

Reply #413. Mar 16 13, 7:20 PM

JCSon

Thanks, mpkitty and pyonir. As I've said before, can't please everyone all of the time.

I'm happy to hear comments, positive or negative. But hopefully most are satisfied with my reasoning at least.
