R15 2013/14

Post by Rhys1995 »

With the final round of the R15 drawing to a close, its time to start thinking ahead to next season. Are we all happy with the current format? Anyone want to see anything different this season? Share below :)

Tangy's going to be more dictatorial this season:
The BERC wrote:When next season starts off I will be operating a bit different. In Andi's case at NXG (for example) this would have resulted in a DSQ as he failed to visit one of the required stations in the correct manner i.e by using ELL trains (or shared tracks with ELL services). The result would be zero points being scored for that round, the same applies if you visit the wrong station (i.e Padd H&C rather than Circle/Bakerloo) as again you failed to visit the 15 stations as listed. If you realise your mistake and correct it within the time limit then full points will be awarded.

Points will be awarded if you fail to complete the 15 stations for reasons outside your control (i.e line suspension, severe delays, sudden illness etc.) meaning you run out of time before visiting all the stations. The time limit on a no twists Z1-2 is 4 hours (twist rounds will have an applicable amount of extra time added as advised).
I for one would love to see a challenge where the stations are all drawn from zones 5 and 6 but all zones may be passed through.
1 FNC Completion (PB: 17:18:18 with G Bryant, A Chilcraft, I MacNaughton)

I have feeling that Martin was only going to announce one date at a time as well?

Hopefully the dates avoid the times when the WCML is blocked at Watford, else it makes it trickier to attend.

For the Random 15 Championship, if the "regular" challengers PM me the dates they definitely CANNOT attend, then it will give me an idea of which weekends to avoid (and to slot them in amongst my leisure activities, like interesting rail diversions).
