The Official DP Pirates Thread (Rated "Arrr!")

03/30/2007 12:03:53 PM · #327

Ok Steve,

I will try to give you a brief run down of how it works. When the WPL starts, it will have a weeks worth of challenges associated to it, usually the member and the 2 open. You need to pick at least one of the 3 to shoot for. The more the better but at least one. Then what happens is say the whole team enters 1 photo that week, the top 4 scores are taken and averaged together and that gets the team score for that week. And there is no breaks in the action after week one it is a constant roller coaster ride to try and get to the playoffs.

If 4 teamates do not participate in that week for every score less than the required 4 people a zero is averaged with the teams score. We finished near the bottom mostly because we were a new team and had to work out a few bugs most like and team that started. If you read back in the threads you can find some of that history too.

I have asked my pirates to enter at least one challenge ths season and will be asking you to do this same, This will be our pirates code of honor. As we found out last season we cannot win if we do not enter.

Again welcome aboard,
Rich

Thanks Rich.

So basically you want me to enter as many challenges as possible and get the best score possible on each one?

Sounds easy enough :-)

Yes GOC, I have you as the backup. That is why I am getting a check on the team to see if I need to enlist you.

Will start the thread once we are allowed by SC to have our own personal thread for WPL 5, no sense clogging up the discussion boards with needless threads that will be locked soon, once we have the answers to whos on board I will know who the invites go out to also.

I'm still around. Im in on rules of thirds holdin a steady 6.3 hope it stays. anyone have any info on WPL5?

04/26/2007 08:34:51 AM · #347

I confirmed earlier. Can I still play???

04/26/2007 09:40:18 AM · #348

Yea Kat, you can play. I more concerned about elizadeb, I havent heard from her lately and want to be sure she is still aboard for season5, and also Mark as I havent heard from him yet.

Right now the team stands as:

Hot_pixel (confirmed)
Mitchamus (confirmed)
Mark (confirmed)
Elizadeb (confirmed)
Bergiekat (confirmed)
DowseDesigns (confirmed)
Unclebro (confirmed)

We need to hear from both Mark and Liz to be sure we are able to continue into WPL5, and with some commitment and some luck, I think we will have a good run this season.

PLease contact both mark and Liz and urge them to come and play on the pirates for WPL5. Lets rally the troops and light the fires and show these people who they are really messing with!

Rich
