Sit down and play from start to finish. Repeat. Doing this well enough will earn you points on the scoreboard.

See the full details on how the scoreboard  works here .

Here is the wrap-up scoreboard for 2024.  We've reset the scoreboard, removed all scores, to start the new year, 2025.

Be sure to get on the scoreboard .  The idea of these challenges has not caught on as far as we had hoped but we're not tossing in the towel yet.

Let us know if another day of the week would be the most likely you would have time to play.  This is not a request for a 30-hour commitment. I'm just looking for the best Prime Time playing slots in the week.

During Prime playing time, an audio and optional video meetup will be available.  You can listen in or participate in the conversation or chat.  This is a chance to get to meet your opponents.

Also during Prime playing time some of the bonus points are increased. For example, the "take a seat" bonus is tripled during the prime playing times.

Come and participate in the challenges, Take a Seat, and wait for an opponent to challenge you. ]]>

The scoreboard of all participants is maintained annually.

You score points by simply winning competitions. Win more points for winning consecutively. Points are even awarded for just participating.  There are a variety of scoring factors.

Come and participate, Take a Seat, and wait for an opponent to challenge you.

If you have an active seat, and you leave the competition page, the site will attempt to alert you when a contender comes along.

These challenges are governed by matches enabled with timers to ensure immediate start and finish.

There are four competitions, a 1 point, 3 point, 5 point, and a 7 point challenge.

A custom scoring system is used for these competitions. Scores are based on your participation and ability to dominate with wins.

The scoring system for these challenges is designed so the best "all-around player" of the four challenges will be the end-of-year winner.

So if someone only plays 2 of the 4 challenges throughout the year, the player who played all of them successfully will be the winner.


See the annual scoreboard is maintained  here,  tallying the points of all participants.
