Playing 9-round games of Countdown, in tables of three, ‘Lincoln’ style. After the four/eight games in each, the two players face each other in the grand final. Prizes for Podium on Friday, top 8 on Saturday, and some others depending on budget. First round is randomly-drawn. All other rounds, you’ll face players on the same number of total wins (Birmingham-style drawing…Yes, I’m calling it this, fight me!). This should result in some good, well-matched games.
ADMISSION
£5 for Warm Up, £15 for Main. £20 for both. It has gone up, but there’s an element within. Minimum Spend at Cherry Red’s-Venue for the Main has Free Hire, but a minimum spend requirement of £400. Break even is 26 for the main, so more the merrier.I will try and do something with that to arrange food/drink. If not, rest assured any money will go towards future tournaments.
