Random 15 Championship 2016/17: Round 6
Posted: 16 May 2017, 21:19
Hello and welcome to the 2016/17 Random 15 Championship. I am your host (commonly known to regulars as the BERC when I am hosting Random 15 challenges). The Random 15 challenge is just that, visit 15 randomly selected stations that feature on the Tube Map and/or London Connections Map (usually within zones 1-2 and using the Underground network only). There will be certain rounds within the championship that are a variation of this such as adding an extra zone/s or network/s e.g. DLR, National Rail onto the challenge and these are known as "twist" rounds.
The rules of the Random 15 Challenge are unchanged from last season but if anyone is not familiar with these (or how the scoring works), they can be read here: http://www.explorerticket.co.uk/tubecha ... 5rules.htm
The 2016/17 season reaches its climax, yes, the sixth and final round. So here is the vital details for you:
When: Saturday 3rd June 2017 12:30 UK local time.
Pre-Challenge meet up point: Kensington Olympia- meet by the buffer stops on the District Line platform.
Post challenge meet up point: The Bricklayers Arms pub, Gresse Street (off TCR, the road).
Variant: Round 6 is a normal round. Therefore only Underground stations within zones 1 and 2 will be included.
