Welcome to the World Series Of Sheep 2017!
This is a series of 10 qualifier games of sheep variants leading up to a
Main Event, in which starting points are determined by how you scored in the qualifier games.
What is sheep?
Quote:
Sheep is a simple game where you privately message a list of answers to whoever is running the game, with the intention of matching your answers with those of other entrants.
The most popular answer to a question gets the most points, and is known as "the sheep".
Unless otherwise specified, research is allowed (but can often be a hindrance more than a help)
How will I earn points for the Main Event?
Quote:
You earn points by playing and doing well in the 10 Qualifier Events as follows:
Each entrant earns 1 point for participating
In addition to this, the top 10 finishers receive points as follows:
1st: 30 points
2nd: 25 points
3rd: 20 points
4th: 16 points
5th: 12 points
6th: 9 points
7th: 6 points
8th: 4 points
9th: 2 points
10th: 1 point
Any ties in qualifiers will result in the points being split (e.g. If two players tie for first they would get 27.5 points each)
After the 10 Qualifier Events, each player's cumulative total points score is what they will start on for the Main Event, which will be a regular 20-question sheep game.
Any ties in the Main Event will be decided by average performance in qualifiers, and if necessary, a fight to the death.
Puzzles has given me the go-ahead to promise an
undertitle for the Main Event winner, which I propose to be something along the lines of "WSOS 2017 Champion".
