Thanks to the 30 who signed up for my newest game.
This will start on May 1st and will run for the entire month.
The premise is simple: outperform your enemies in a series of weekly challenges to earn the right to battle for glory in the grand finale!
The team who controls the largest portion of the battlefield will win $125 via Paypal. I had originally offered a $25 consolation to the runner-up, then decided that this will be an all or nothing mission. No mercy!
The game is divided into 5 battlefields:
Battlefield #1 features all 30 teams in a 5 row x 6 column grid. The category is team pitching strikeouts and will run from May 1-7. Teams will only be competing with others in the same row. The 5 teams with the highest strikeout total in their row during this time period will advance to the grand finale. In the event of a tie, each of those teams will advance.
Battlefield #2 features 15 teams in a 5 row x 3 column grid. The category is team home runs and will run from May 8-14. Teams will only be competing with others in the same column. The 3 teams with the highest home run total in their column during this time period will advance to the grand finale. Same rule for ties.
Battlefield #3 features the other 15 teams in a 5 row x 3 column grid. The category is team hits and will run from May 15-21. Teams will only be competing with others in the same column. The 3 teams with the highest hit total in their column during this time period will advance to the grand finale. Same rule for ties.
Battlefield #4 features all 30 teams in a 5 row x 6 column grid. The category is team runs and will run from May 22-28. Teams will only be competing with others in the same row. The 5 teams with the highest runs total in their row during this time period will advance to the grand finale. Same rule for ties.
Battlefield #5 features all qualifying teams from the first 4 battlefields. At this point, all borders dividing these battlefields will be taken away to open up one large 10 row x 9 column grid. Each team will remain in their original spot, but their category will be changed to team wins between May 1-31. All remaining teams are now battling each other, regardless of their proximity on the battlefield.
The following steps will be taken to determine the winner:
1. The surviving team with the highest win total will eliminate all teams in their direct horizontal, vertical, and diagonal path. Each of these spaces will turn the color of that team.
2. The surviving team with the next highest win total will eliminate all teams in their direct horizontal and vertical path. Each of these spaces will turn the color of that team.
3. The surviving team with the next highest win total will eliminate all teams in their direct diagonal path. Each of these spaces will turn the color of that team.
4. Step 3 will be repeated until all possible teams have been eliminated.
The team controlling the largest portion of the battlefield will win the challenge. In the (unlikely) event of a tie, the surviving team having the highest combined strikeout/home run/hits/runs total will be the winner.
I will update the playfield every 7 days.
Any questions, just ask! The playfield has been built, but will not be unveiled until just before you all report for duty.
In the meantime, here's the field, outlining your teams for each category. Good luck!
Here are links to each battlefield so you can quickly see how you did. For Battlefields 1-4, please note that the stats will only be accurate if you visit the link on the date in parenthesis and before the first game that day concludes:
Battlefield #1 (May 8th)
Battlefield #2 (May 15th)
Battlefield #3 (May 22nd)
Battlefield #4 (May 29th)
Battlefield #5 (June 1st)
This will start on May 1st and will run for the entire month.
