So, is everyone in agreement about the Thursday (the 5th of December) as the start of a 3 challenge final?

Captains, get consensus and post here... :) (I don't like counting past three if I can help it..)

Cory, it is looking that way. I have consensus from 4 members of our team including me for the 5th December kick off and I was just waiting for 2 more thumbs up. I am however pretty sure the other 2 will give their thumbs up just to get things under way.

May be worth one of the TPL organisers just officially confirming the format of the finals.

Will it be judged essentially the same as the previous weeks?
Is there a possibility for an overall draw?

Best get all this kind of stuff out there and official so there is no confusion.

The prize was $1000 per team member wasn't it? :)

Shady Sheep would have preferred the earlier start but we are nice people and happy to go with the 5th December start. Let the battle begin.

Admittedly, that mint sauce does look good...

So if you win, we get BBQ Sheep with Mint sauce, which sounds pretty good - if they win, I'm still puzzling over what they're offering here. ;)

Getting close to the start of the finals now. Please can we have an official declaration of the rules for the final so everyone is on the same page and there is no cause for confusion further down the line. Thanks.

The fists are wrapped in tape. The taped knuckles are dipped in resin, and then dipped in broken glass. Go!

OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT - TPL 2

We'll start on Thursday, with the challenge next announced. The format will be three challenges, nothing changes from the normal league play.

In the event of a tie, we go to the next user's score. If that ends in a tie for both additional users, we will designate a challenge for sudden death play, the choice of this challenge will be at MY discretion, but will be the next appropriate challenge after the voting period ends on the championship round challenges.

Questions?

12/02/2013 03:16:27 PM · #37

Sudden death play sounds very sudden.

ETA. So now you are accepting donations so that you can think better about that possible 4th challenge? ;)

I was in the last final. It's all that holds me together now.

I'm glad I have a ton of rubber bands then :)

All the trash talk in the world won't keep High Five out of the garbage along with their mint jelly. So sad.

I don't know much about trash talk, but I do know I am ready for battle!

12/02/2013 06:53:31 PM · #44

We are ready as well. That's why two weeks ago we came up with the idea to have the same avatar design for each team member - to show that we are united, we are friends, and we are ready :)

I am a lady and do not do trash talk, so I will be humble and gracious when accepting our winning trophy and will say positive things in our acceptance speech about the precious little lambs on the opposing team. I am ready to play.

It's just a game and I respect my opponents. However, all the "you silly sheep", lamb chops, slaughter, and mint sauce comments have gotten pretty old - even if they were supposed to be just a joke. But it's all cool :) We won't forget you in our acceptance speech.

We'll be serving tea and crumpets shortly.... Do watch out for the butler, I fear he's rather in a mood today.

..

sigh... And with this, I suppose we can just call the 'trash talk' tradition dead... Not like it had any real spirit this season anyway.
