Random 15 Championship 2017/18: Round 2
Posted: 28 Oct 2017, 07:53
Hello and welcome to the 2017/18 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 2017/18 season is entering round 2. So here is the vital details for you:
When: Saturday 18th November 2017 12:30 UK local time.
Pre-Challenge meet up point: WHITECHAPEL, meet by the current temporary entrance on Court Street.
[/color] Post challenge meet up point: The Bricklayers Arms pub, Gresse Street (off TCR, the road).
Variant: Round 2 is a normal R15 but with a live draw. Thus there will no envelopes to rip open instead challengers present at the start will select the other 14 stations to visit out of a bucket. Please be at the meet up point for 12:20 for the live draw to be conducted and the challenge to commence promptly at 12:30.
