As we, the federation of Sports and Bets are the only bunch of organised intellectuals around, we put it to you, the neanderthals of the rest of the forum world to come and have a go.

CHALLENGE
It is all up for grabs. All the nations should report for a free-for-all. Sign up. Play each other at pool, see which one of you lot can handle something that requires an IQ higher than Salty.

RULES
The nations representative must sign-up to MiniClip's 8ball Pool (http://www.miniclip.com/games/8-ball-pool/en/), then post your intent to take part in the challenge.the nations will then be placed in a draw. Depending on numbers, the draw will be a knockout or group format.

HOW IT WORKS
The game will use the standard 8 ball pool rules:
* If a foul is commited then it is ball in hand.
* On every shot a ball(not cue) must touch a cushion.
* If you pot the black off the break then you win.
* If you pot any other ball off the break you are not a solid or stripe until the next ball is potted.
* To finish you must nominate a pocket for the black.

SETTINGS
For all matches please use the default settings and do not change the shot times.


COME AND HAVE A GO MORONIC NATIONS!!!

Is this for one person per team? Or everyone from every team?

Because the other teams are being slow and crap, you have untill the 12th of September to find a someone from your team to participate in this challenge. If you don't find someone then you can't compete.

I do hope you aren't going to be this slow on all of the challenges.

Let's try and get at least the FIRST challenge from the FIRST team done this year, yes?

When you've chosen someone, can that person, or the team leader, post who in this thread. Thanks

Seeing as there are, at present, only two active Techy Bollocks members (one being myself and the other being the leader (out of default)) I'm going to represent us unless I'm told otherwise.

What name should I sign up as? Mine or the forum I'm representing?

Sigh, It would seem that I have to do this, even though I don't know what I'm doing.

EDIT: The server for it is down for some reason so I'll have to sign up tomorrow or summit. I'll edit again when I have a login for it or whatever.

No but the timing might be difficult, most players will probably be UK based so the time difference will be an issue for most matches. I don't mean to put you off but it might be better if whoever you represent chose a UK or at least Europe based forumite.
If however you feel you can be on fairly regularly and between say 7pm and 10pm BST (I only give those times as that is when most will be free and therefore probably most games will be played) then it may be doable.

Hey up. I'm not representing Pap, but we've nominated Glooomp who we think will do very well.

Hmmm, if 7pm - 10pm BST is about 7am - 10am in New Zealand, (according to the Forums, in New Zealand we're currently GMT+12) which I think it is, that means I'll be at school for the next two weeks including this one at that time, except on weekends, which is sorta halfway through Friday till halfway through Sunday to you Brits because of the time difference. So, I probably can't really do this challenge.

I wish someone in Fan Art and Art Attack would get off their arse and do something. >:[

Yeah well, hey.
I'm playing for General Pap. When shall I play and against whom? Remember I am in Aus.

My user in the pool thing is Glooomp.
AngryPaul

I'm just going to see how many teams we have. Then I'll see about making some fixtures.

Gen Pap: Glooomp
Debates: Nicodemus
Gaming: CoX
Tecky Balls:[/b] kikumbob

And I'm not sure what to make of this...Music and Meeeeja is being represented by Eoin the Bald...If thats just garble then its a simple knockout format. If it isn't. its a 5-way group with the top two progressing to the final.

It means that Eoin the Bald is representing Music and Meeeja (?)

Noone for M&M has bothered posting in this thread (although it was decided on the other Forum wars forum) So I posted because of the deadline set by Erasmus.

Gaming is being represented by myself, CoX.

If you're not too sure, this was the same format as mine. This means that Cox is representing Gaming.

Does someone needs to represent sports and bets then? or is because it's our challenge we don't need to take part.

Hm.. it's taken a month for one challenge to be completed (Well, over a month since nobody has attempted the challenge yet =/). With 89 more challenges to go (9 teams, 10 challenges each, makes 90 total challenges)... are we ever going to see Forum Wars from start to finish?
