WINERY FORMAL CHALLENGES

Formal challenges are fun to make and fun to play. We want everyone here to have fun and not get upset by something that is MEANT to be fun. If formal challenges are made and not completed in 3 days the person who makes the challenge will be issued a loss. The overall suggestion is that if you are not going to be available, do not make challenges.

Formal Challenge Rules

You have to be within a rank range to utilize the formal challenge system (Generally 50 or better on larger ladders, 20 or better on smaller ones).
You may have only one formal challenge involving you at any time:
- You may issue one formal challenge at a time, or
- One formal challenge may be issued against you at any time.
You are restricted from challenging the same user twice in a row for a period of time (This prevents friends from locking up their challenge slots).
You have a pre-determined number of days during which to play challenges (This varies depending on the ladder size and activity level).
Failure to complete a formal challenge will result in BOTH players receiving a failure in their records. Accumulation of three failures will result in penalties (This discourages BOTH users from avoiding a challenge). A permanent note is also made on the user records.
Formal challenges are recorded automatically when you report ladder results. There is no special reporting procedure. They will show up in the daily results as a formal challenge.
A challenge is cleared immediately following a match report. This means that as soon as you play a challenge another challenge can be filed against you.
Players in the top ten are eligible to challenge any member of the top ten ranked better than they are. Players outside of the top ten are limited to challenging half the distance of their rank. For example, if you are ranked 20 you could challenge anyone ranked 10-19. If you are ranked 50, however, you can only challenge those ranked 25-49.
You cannot challenge someone ranked under you.

BOWLING RULES ~Welcome to Bowling Rules~ STANDARD BOWLING RULES At the end of regular tournaments all players must post in main chat their Results like this ... winner//nonwinner ALL PLAYERS must post and confirm, TD's recall of winners. No Posting at round end could result in loss of round. BOWLING TIE: PLAYERS WILL PLAY ONE FULL FRAME AND REPORT WHILE THE OTHER PLAYERS CONTINUE PLAYING AND WAIT FOR PAIRS. IF A SECOND TIE : PLAYERS TIED CONTINUE SUDDEN DEATH,(~PLAYERS POST PIN DROP IN MAIN CHAT) THE HIGHEST PIN DROP WINS. GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!
1 BALL THEME Players will bowl only one ball each frame 1-9. If any one throws a spare or trys to pick up extra pins, THEY WILL BE DISQUALIFIED and lose that round of play. Only in the 10th and final frame may all player BOWL ALL BALLS! Then post winner//nonwinner in main chat

2nd Ball: In the first 9 frames of bowling the player will throw their first ball into the gutter, their second ball will be at pins, this will allow for no strikes nor added pins onto your spares, in the 10th frame the player is allowed to throw all their balls.
369: Do not bowl frames 3 6 or 9.

AUTO WIN 7-10: You automatically win the round if you bowl a 7-10 split.

BASEBALL BOWLING: also known as "3 strikes your out!". Any player bowling 3 strikes and they automatically lose that game round. Each new round starts a new count~just like a new "at bat" in baseball. Then post winner///nonwinner in main chat
BLIND (OR MYSTERY PARTNERS): You will bowl a full 10 frames or a round and not know who your opponent is until completion of 10 frames or round.

COUNT YOUR SPARES: Just like the name the player is to count their spares in one game the player with the most spares wins.

MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR: This is played as true 4 round swiss with each round being a different "themed" game.

MYSTERY PARTNERS (OR BLIND): You will bowl a full 10 frames or a round and not know who your opponent is until completion of 10 frames or round.

NUMEROLOGY: You bowl a full game as normal but you add your final score down to a it's single digit. Example: You bowl a 175 you add 1+7+5=13 then you add 1+3=4, 4 is the final score.

POKER THEME: In addition to standard cases rules. A player final score is taken like a hand of 3 card stud poker. 0 = ten. 1 - 0(10) lowest to highest. Then pairs, 3 of a kind & Straight is the highest hand possible. Score does not have to be in order, (a score or 123, 132, 213, 231 all equal a straight)Post your score when finished bowling.

REVERSE SCORE THEME Like all regular theme games you bowl to knock down as many pins as you can in EVERY frame. The only difference is you post your final score in reverse. Example: 123/321

TURKEY SHOOT: A player will auto win the round if they are the first in pair to bowl a turkey. If neither bowl the turkey then it returns to normal scoring of the highest score wins the match.LET'S HAVE FUN AND GET THEM GOBBLERS
