    So what’s happens now? Do Digibags and Kosh go against each other and Skunkman against Digibags and whoever comes out with the most points goes through to the next round??

    Exactly, you play each team in your group once and the top two go to the semi finals

    Thing is though, the assassin hitter could be ahead of the winner, so is it fair to give winner minus points difference for a win?

    I was thinking about it and it’s probably not unfair, if they’re behind then they’ve gotten their luck with the assassin being hit?

    It's probably not really going to be a problem but if someone clues 4 and gets 3 on their first guess and hits the assassin then it's not fair on the losing team to be -3 on differential. Genuinely don't think it's going to matter in this tournament but in a larger format it could be an issue

    Ya whenever Kitten and Skeith are free, Kitten said she was out until Wednesday

    If you want a bit of practice as captain you could sign up for an ad-hoc game here

    We did the assassinated team got a -1 point differential in LoL, didnt we?

    We could do it that if team a is 5-3 up, and hit the assassin, the scores are swapped? So team a get a -2 and team b get a +2?

    Guys, the aim is to have at least one match played by this Thursday and the second by the following Wednesday, make sure we get this finished in a reasonable time-frame.
    If you think you need a sub, even for one game, let me know and I'll try and arrange/bully someone into stepping in


    Kitten, Skeith, Sixtoes how are we fixed for this week? Any apart from Sunday suits me

    This has been stated just a post or two up the way by yourself.

    Kitten is unavailable until tomorrow.


    I'll play anytime. Kitten is our cap for the game. codenames is such a low commitment game, the only times i won't be available is when i'm unconscious or operating heavy machinery or both.
