Hi all, BUD and I have scheduled this year's edition of the Thursday Six Challenge. The tournament will be similar to the way MUDEE did it, but not as long.
MUDEE ran the first three episodes of this tournament. This is installment #6. The previous winners were Walsh's, Concert Pub, West Park Station, Walsh's and the most recent winner, Mad River.
The tournament will run from May 30, 2019 through June 27, 2019. The winner will be the team/location with the best total score for four out of the five weeks for Thursday Six. Each team will be able to drop a score for one of the five weeks. If your team needs to change locations, let IDJT know in advance of the Six game and the scores at the alternate location will be counted.
While the system glitch that has affected Showdown and Spotlight has not hit Six, we are adding a proviso that in the event a system-wide failure or glitch affects more than 25% of the teams in the field we will extend the tournament an additional week. In that event none of the scores will count for the week that is affected.
The scoring system is pretty straightforward. It is expected that the teams will play all wetware since that is now the accepted culture. To participate you will be asked to post to scaratings, Badbart, Facebook, or to email IDJT at
idjit5500@yahoo.com by midnight May 26, 2019.
As stated last year we are now a very fractured community and BUD and I will probably not be able to get this message to all the teams that may want to participate. So I ask that if you know of a team that might like to participate or a team that you would like to compete against please contact them and let them know about this tournament. We had fifteen teams last year, and BUD and I would like to honor MUDEE with an even larger field this year. We have managed to increase the field every year so far.
The winner of the tournament will receive the red Six Challenge Trophy custom made by MUDEE to hold until we hold the next tournament in 2020. The winner this year will be obligated to forward the trophy to next year's winner. BUD and I will continue to run the tournament ourselves for the foreseeable future so the winner will not be required to administer the tournament next year.
Let's have a great competition and let's have another great tribute to MUDEE.
