Stonetroll's Usbagrbdvajaj vs. Watchmen Philosophy.
I'm ridiculously psyched to play such a quality team and coach. Anyone able to offer a pronunciation guide? |

Well, my Eagles have been drawn in a bone-crunching High Elf mirror match against Tricktickler's Amiga Games. They're looking pimped and dangerous (although they're giving us a nice haul of inducements). It's gonna be a baptism of fire!
Oh, just realized, they were the losing finalists last year. Wow, what a draw!  |

Ulthiuan Invitiationl XII Pickers challenge Sponsored by the Altdorf Book and Casino.
Hello FUMBBL fans, maniacs and addicted gamblers. It is time to disclose the pickers challenge for the UI.
Over the many years of covering majors "we" haved tried many forms of the pickers challenge. Some are fun, some are boring and some are just odd. In order to bring you the best possible pickers challenge I have decided that we will from this point forward always use the best and most fun pickers challenge of them all. The FUMBBL Cup format where we will be making picks off a big board of games, every round with scores updated by rounds, speculation bets and the gripping survivor pool.
It requires a lot more work but the work makes it so much more fun for the fans and the coaches in the tournament. It keeps fans engaged in the tournament and makes the UI thread that much more fun to read.
Also I have decided to add some improvements on the already awesome format. I will start up a PM chain for all the coaches in the pickers challenge. That way I can communicate with you on what is going on and remind coaches through another way that the next round of picks is up and running.
AB&C Pickers challenge: UI XII
Format
Each round the pickers will predict the winner of 5 matches and make a survivor pool pick, so 6 picks in total.
The UI is split between the Dark side and the LIght side.
Each round I will choose 4 matches in the Dark Qualifier and 4 matches in the Light Qualifier.
You will pick 2 of the 4 matches in the Dark side and 2 of the 4 matches in the light side. You will then get one wild card pick that you can choose from either one.
Then you will rank your picks from 5 , 4 , 3 ,2 and 1. Those are how many points you get for that match if you are correct. SO, you want your stone cold, I cannot lose pick to be your 5 pt pick and your, I really have no clue, just throwing a dart on a board pick to be your 1 pt pick. Thus the maximum points you can earn in each round from just picks is 15 points, perfect card.
Survivor Pool
The goal of the survivor pool is to be the last coach standing. How you are eliminated from the survivor pool is you make an incorrect pick. If you pick wrong you are eliminated from the survivor pool BUT NOT THE PICKERS CHALLENGE, this is a side challenge game.
At any point if there is just one coach left, who has made all correct picks, wins, regardless of what round it occurs in.
The winning coach of the survivor pool will get 15pts.
When the last round of the survivor pool is declared and there are still multiple coaches who are still alive at the end of the round, all of them will be declared the winner and all pickers will receive 15 pts.
Passes for missed rounds
If you do not make picks for a round that is ok. You will get 2 passes during the pickers challenge. The AB&C "the Peoples Picks" will be your default score for a round you missed. You will get the same points as the AB&C.
IF you miss more than 2 rounds of the challenge you are disqualified.
Speculation Bets
Each round there will be 2 or 3 speculation bets for bonus points.
They will be in the vein of Pick the perfect card, no missed picks or How many Total CAS will be caused in the 8 matches. Each round there will be new speculation bets. These speculation picks will be worth 5 or 10 points depending on the level of skill or luck is needed to make the correct pick.
What does a pickers card look like?
Here is what the card will look like for you new guys to this.
You will just need to copy this, paste it into word pad or some such program, fill in the blanks and repost on the thread to lock in your picks.

Milford did find one and it was taken from him by a witch hunter, if you insist though.
you must talk to Witch Hunter Dorian 'Burn your house down' Franklin if you wish to get the proper pronunciation. |
