February 2011 Decathlon
Roll up! Roll up!
The February Decathlon will begin on Monday February 14th. The rules are listed below. To take part, simply post “I’m in” in this thread. Sign-up closes 1am Monday the 14th GMT.
Decathlon Rules and Conditions
• Players wishing to take part in the Decathlon must sign up by indicating their interest in the Sign-up forum
• The management (being the person/people running the current competition) reserves the right to refuse to accept a player in the competition at their discretion
• The decathlon will be played out of a single round (no qualifying round for the final)
• One brainoff from each of six different categories (e.g. Music, Science & Nature, Language etc.) will be sent each day for five days, a total of 30 challenges (3 from each of the 10 categories).
• Each Decathlon Brainoff will have 10 questions randomly chosen from the category
• Challenges will be sent out by the Tournament account.
• Brainoffs will be sent every day from Monday to Friday inclusive. Players will have 48 hours to complete a challenge. Challenges will be sent out at approximately 9.15 am GMT.
• If more than 8 players sign up then they will be split into groups of equal sizes, or as equal as possible, and groups will be assigned randomly by computer
• Scores will be posted in a dedicated thread. Updating the scoreboard is a manual process but scores will be updated at least twice each day, more often if possible. The winner is the person with the highest overall points total in the 30 brainoffs.
• In case the Factacular site hiccups, we will spring into action and resolve issues as soon as the site is up and running and continue with the competition. We do respectfully ask that everyone play their challenges as soon as possible after receiving them --- you will be less likely to be affected if the site goes down. We will only replay challenges if the site is down for more than 12 hours on the last day of a challenge. We will not replay for anyone letting the challenge time out or for minor site glitches.
• Please send a private message to JMK or Javalyne if you encounter problems.
• Most importantly - have fun!

I won't be able to play exactly on the 14th, because I have to work 16 hrs. I can get on after work if I'm not toooooo tired, but will finish by the time allotted in the rules. cack
