Hey mobile chill out...
as mentioned earlier, it's been a busy week at work, plus we're getting ready for my son's birthday weekend coming up. I should have the initial games out at some point today.

[flexmaster33]

I was able to get games 1-8 out this morning...game 9-16 will go out late tonight (these groups can see their group mix, but boards will go up tonight).

[flexmaster33]

boards 9-12 are not set up...13-16 will come late tonight.

[flexmaster33]

All 16 round one boards are up and opening maps have been sent via invite. Good luck to all as we get underway.
Remember on these first maps, the winner gets the $1,000 and choice, while the No. 2 finisher gets choice.

I'll try to keep the boards updated on a regular basis throughout. All first-round winners advance to one of four semifinal games.

A couple things...
It seems quite a few people saw some flawed early boards that had wrong catagories, changes as follows...

All on my Own (replaces Major Cities)
Road Trip (replaces Small World)

Also, it should be noted...all boards are playing with the same catagories, but I have a mix of maps that are being used to fulfill each catagory, making each board unique. So looking at Board #6 isn't going to give you a sneak peak at what you may be getting on Board #14.

One last thing...while this first round was set up using random.org to group the players, the semifinals will be seeded based on $$ won in the opening round (although the $$ amount won't carry over).

For the semis...
Group 1 — #1, #8, #9, #16
Group 2 — #2, #7, #10, #15
Group 3 — #3, #6, #11 #14
Group 4 — #4, #5, #12, #13

Yes, I'm just trying to get an operating procedure for each player (or default, as explained). But if you win a 1 vs. 1 map, you can select any open box ($200-$800) on your board by sending me a quick pm with your choice. If I don't hear from you and see that your latest map is complete, I'll go to your preference rankings or to the default.

[flexmaster33]

Games 1, 9 and 15 have completed their first $1,000 map and are onto the rest of the board and the 1 vs. 1 matchups. Boards are updated. I'm trying to keep those up to date each night (at the least every other night).

[JeopardyTempest]

Flex, awesome job setting all this up.

Just have one question I haven't seen documented yet... you mention Daily Doubles???
- are you still doing that
- if so, how does it work (especially if it's possible it be on the 4 player or the 1v1)

Thanks again!

[flexmaster33]

Daily Doubles are mixed into the board (one per board)...once in Jeopardy and again in Double Jeopardy. For our purposes...those will only show up in the 1 vs. 1 sets ($200-$800). If you uncover one, I will ask for your wager on the map before setting up the 1 vs. 1 dual. Win the map, get the money...lose the map and you lose the $ (no matter how many rounds in the case of Daily Doubles). Your opponent will win control of the board, but will not win any money on a Daily Double situation.

[flexmaster33]

Major update out with boards updated for all sets with their first four-player map completed...for the updated boards the white letters indicate maps currently in play...yellow letters are completed maps.

Nice, well-organized tourney, I must say!

[DBandit70]

DBandit70 wins this category "GameTime $800 — DB70 vs. rmjw"

do you need a new selection?

[flexmaster33]

I've got you with a list DB70, so going off that...of course you can always select any open box by firing off a quick pm my direction.

[Dukasaur]

And Dukasaur puts $400 up on the board!

(Too bad it's not real money)
