In a normal year the Six Challenge Tournament would be over and the trophy would be off to its next holder for a year. This year by any definition is not a normal year. BUD and I have discussed if it was even possible to do the tournament this year. Now we would like to hear from others about what you think.

We would like to do another five week tournament with one dropped score as in the past. One thing that would be required is that every team would have to play remotely. Buzztime at least for now provides the technology to do that.
So we are putting this out to see if there is interest in doing the tournament. Also we are looking for suggestions on how best to do it so it is fair for all participants. We don't know the local circumstances for each team so if there is something that we can accommodate let us know.

Right now we are thinking of end of July or early August for the tournament. A shorter tournament of four weeks is possible.

So please let us know what you think and try to respond as soon as you can. IDJT and BUD

That would be playing remotely via the Buzztime app??
How about "sharing"?? Our small group has done that via a conference call.

Hey Ray J, thanks for being the 1st to chime in, yes that would be on the BT app only. That is the only way a lot of teams would be able to play, too many bars closed or very limited on seating. All players would have to be on the app, no one can play in the bar, there is too much of an advantage playing in the bars. You see more of the clues and get less lag in the bar so to make it even everyone has to be at home.

Yes of course you can share. That's the way teams play. You can do zoom, conference calls, google hangouts, whatever as long as no one is cheating or gaining an advantage. That would include not looking anything up and no logging into another bar at the same time as logged into the team bar. One bar only!!! Yes, we will have to take everyones's word on that.

So, Time Out West would probably be in for a Thur SIX tourney?

Stained Glass Pub Silver Spring MD is in.

As for “one bar” I agree, although if the games were properly synced that would have been a moot point.

stro, several of us, nowhere near the whole team, are using a gps simulator to play from west park station. we certainly would welcome you to play with us sometime during a primetime game on our discord channel.

We cannot play remotely. We play outside. There is no TV.

So, it seems the 2 mile radius is here to stay for most bars while some bars with their "account on hold" are still set at 20 miles but working fine. Many bars are now playing using a GPS spoofing app to put the players within 2 miles, as the bars are mostly still closed or too limited for a team. Not to mention damn unsafe.

So far we had a few bars in, before the radius change: Time Out West, Meriden AOH, Stained Glass Pub. With I'm assuming West Park and Mad River. Is everyone still good for playing?

Merkin, any chance on Walsh's using an app and playing remotely or turning off the TV at Walsh's?

Any other bars thinking about playing the Thur SIX challenge?

As of this morning, it looks like our Illinois bars have had the 2 mile distance limitation re-activated.
I guess our Time-Out West team could sit outside & play our devices with the apps. Seems kinda silly though.

There is no TV that you can see? So does that mean you would have no advantage? It's been so long since I've played SIX on tablets, SGP has the old blue boxes.
