    So you play each in your group once.

    If you win while the other team has three words left that will be your score difference and in the event of a tie that will be used to separate teams.

    Top two go through to the semi-finals 1v2 from each group, best of three

    Final will be best of three also


    So feel free to organise a time that suits each other

    And catchier team names would be great


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,358 ✭✭✭✭Kolido


    We will probably stick with team kosh?


  • Registered Users Posts: 35,024 ✭✭✭✭Baggly


    Team solitary plastic bag from the film American Beauty.

    Nice ring to it.

    Don't remember WC having a group stage last time.


    Sort of a mix between LOL and WC

    Will this be a non Google tournament?

    Reason I ask is that up until about 6-12 months ago we were using Google. Both can have different strategies involved. I dont mind either way.


  • Registered Users Posts: 35,024 ✭✭✭✭Baggly


    Tunkplasm :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,468 ✭✭✭Ectoplasm


    I was thinking Tusk O'Plasm myself but either works for me :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,387 ✭✭✭✭Green&Red

    I will be around on and off all evening. Do you want to cpt first game?

    Btw, what was the etiquette on how that boards were setup and who goes first. Cant remember from last year.

    In LOL there were 'home' and 'away' matches so both teams got to have 8/9 words.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,941 ✭✭✭osh


    Pretty sure last world cup, one of the captains set up the game and then offered the opposing team which colour they want. Before pm'ing the board obviously.


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,358 ✭✭✭✭Kolido


    Was there also the guessers pming a word each for the board? May have been lol though.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,941 ✭✭✭osh


    Yeah we can do that if people like. Don't think it makes a huge difference given you won't know what side you'll be getting when you set up.


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,387 ✭✭✭✭Green&Red


    I think home and away is a good idea, so if you’re named first in those fixtures I sent out you’re guessing first


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,941 ✭✭✭osh


    Grand well in that case, you'd have to get both guessers to pm words to the captains to create a board.

    Something like each guesser pm's one word (lower case) to both captains. One of the captains creates the board using the home guesser's word first and then the away guesser's word.

    E.g. "fragile" and "monkey" would create the board fragilemonkey like so https://www.horsepaste.com/fragilemonkey


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,387 ✭✭✭✭Green&Red


    What’s the purpose of that Osh?


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,941 ✭✭✭osh


    Well not saying it would happen, but if I know whether I'm going first or second, if I wanted to I could just post up a board that is really easy for me and hard for the opponent.

    This way the board is random.
