Re: R15 Championship 2012/13: Round 5
As a suggested twist that has the benefit of slowing Andi down, how about doing an R15 in randomly drawn pairs, with pairs having to do the challenge as a three-legged race?

Or how about one where Zones 4 - 6 are where the stations are drawn from, but you can still go into Zones 1, 2, and 3.

The all lines twist is good, but I think it is too soon to use it again.
I like the closed stations twist, but it might be better to save it for a day when there are more closed stations!

Re: R15 Championship 2012/13: Round 5
If it makes sense, could 2 twists be combined? Such as NR and 1-4?

The problem is I might support each of those twists individually, but not support them combined because I think it would make the challenge far too long.tractakid wrote:If it makes sense, could 2 twists be combined? Such as NR and 1-4?

Re: R15 Championship 2012/13: Round 5
As 15 from 20 can't be combined with 2 x envelopes how about 7 from 10 in both envelopes
In effect the first envelope is 7 from 10 rather than 8 as the starting station if already known.....
Also another idea once the envelope is opened you have to visit them alphabetically

Possibly but I imagine the way our minds tick it might not happen, it could be a tadge lengthy though as well......greatkingrat wrote:Won't that just mean everyone has virtually the same route?Going Underground wrote:Also another idea once the envelope is opened you have to visit them alphabetically

Re: R15 Championship 2012/13: Round 5
15 out of 20 and Z1-6 would be interesting. At least you could get rid of the Eppings and Ken Os off the list.
