Another season, another attempt at this wacky game.
This season-long contest is open to all and is completely free.
However, we must have at least 20 contestants to make this worthwhile.
If interested and committed, please copy/paste the signup list in your response with your name in the first available slot.
***THE DEADLINE FOR SIGNING UP IS FRIDAY, APRIL 1st***
Apologies in advance for the long ruleset, but there's a lot to cover.
So much in fact, it won't all fit in a single post.
Please see post #6 for the rest of the rules.
If you have any questions whatsoever, let me know!
OVERVIEW
The 2022 MLB season is scheduled to start April 7th and conclude October 5th.
Race your fellow lumberjacks to clear branches (complete levels) and ultimately harvest your tree (complete all levels) based on actual MLB regular season games.
Branch Bounties (prizes) are available to the first lumberjack to clear a given branch without using a chainsaw.
The Timber! Bounty (grand prize) is available to the first lumberjack to harvest their entire tree before the end of the regular season.
HOW TO PLAY
Each tree is 100% randomly generated, and is comprised of 12 branches (levels) and the trunk (final stage).
Branches consist of 1 to 7 scenarios. The trunk consists of 1 scenario.
Each scenario features an outcome from the 2022 season. Simply find an exact match for each scenario to clear the branch/trunk.
If you are the first person to complete all objectives on a branch without using a chainsaw you win the bounty for that branch! See the next section for details.
You must start with branch 1, and may only clear one branch at a time before moving down to the next branch.
Once a branch has been cleared, you may begin working on the next branch on the same day, but may not use an earlier date to clear it.
Unless otherwise specified, each scenario within a branch stands on its own and must be completed in a single game.
However, some branches require all scenarios to be completed in the same day. Those branches are clearly marked.
Please refer to the Tools of the Trade section below for important links to be used throughout the game.
SAMPLE "TREE"
CHAINSAWS
If you are having trouble clearing any of the 12 branches, you can ditch your axe in favor of a chainsaw for immediate completion.
No chainsaw is available for the trunk.
Each branch has 3 scenarios that will allow you to use your chainsaw.
These scenarios are located to the left of your tree. A chainsaw may be used for a given branch if:
1. The first team shown hits 5 or more home runs in a single game or
2. The second team shown strikes out 20 or more opponents in a single game or
3. The specific date shown in the far right column is met.
If the 1st chainsaw is used, you have automatically cleared your current branch and may start working on the next branch the same day.
However, if the 2nd chainsaw is used, you have automatically cleared both your current branch and the following branch. You may then start working on the 2nd branch down from your current branch the same day.
Example: if you are currently on branch 3, but qualify to use the 2nd chainsaw, you automatically jump to branch 5 on the same day.
***SUPER IMPORTANT NOTES***
1. Bounties cannot be claimed with a chainsaw. No shortcuts if you want the goods!
2. Bounties that remain unclaimed on the branch completion date expire and are permanently unavailable.
3. Once a chainsaw is used, that branch bounty is unavailable to everyone.
4. Backdating of completed branches using a chainsaw is forbidden. Ie; you cannot stockpile a chainsaw cleared branch only to claim it at a later date to capture all those additional days/chances to clear the next branch. The day you use it is the day you can start working on the next branch.
Ultimately, it's up to you if you want to sacrifice a bounty for everyone if you'd rather take advantage of the additional time as you make your way toward a more desirable branch bounty or the trunk itself to win the Timber! Bounty.
COMPLETING A BRANCH
If you complete a branch, please post your achievement in this thread, along with the date each scenario was completed or the chainsaw used.
It's very important to post your achievements; not only for others to verify if they'd like, but also to help me confirm a winner.
Otherwise, I'll post a reminder whenever possible when a branch's completion date (chainsaw #3) has been met so everyone can move on to the next branch.
HARVESTING YOUR TREE
Clearing the trunk is the final stage of the game before harvesting your tree.
Once you complete the objective shown in the trunk, congratulations! Your tree has been harvested. Please send me a PM with the date you completed the trunk.
The first to do so wins Lumberjack Bingo and the Timber! Bounty. See below.
BRANCH BOUNTIES
Each branch has a different tree-related theme with a potential bounty (prize) associated with that theme. The bottom left corner of your card gives you an idea of what's at stake. Beware though! Any use of a chainsaw, either by yourself or your opponent, invalidates that branch bounty, rendering it permanently unavailable to everyone.
TIMBER! BOUNTY
At the base of each tree is a random selection of 5 grand prizes. The winning lumberjack can read the rules under that section on how to determine which prize they have won. They will then send me a PM to claim their prize after I have confirmed.
