The winner (best total score) gets to pick next weeks theme. If we have the same winner as last week, the runner up (#2) will pick the theme. See here for the rules and an overview of themes.

Please post your progress/total scores in this topic to ease the calculations at the end of the week.

Good luck and enjoy! :) (It would be nice to beat Kenenisa Bekele; 5 maps instead of 5 kilometers. ;))

I've done a few... left the 4th one running at like 5 minutes... so I have a terrible score, but I don't have time to redo it. Oh well. Maybe later. I've kind of abandoned CW forums in favor of passing college... sorry guys =[

Just play a map when you take a little break from studying, which will relax you and make you study better in the end. ;) "The string always strained snaps at last."

That what I was hoping for, I do not care for to many fools mates. :D
You might be able to go for my 5k record though, 18:12. ;)

Got it, without hurting legs! ;D

Unfortunately I won't be able to play this weekend, so most likely these are my final results, which means I probably won't be competing for gold this time. Too bad now good old Siccles is back....

Expect the overall tournament results a little later than usual on Monday.

It may have something to do with I'm not very good yet.  :(
To fight back the Creeper all you need is. . . What? Energy.

It's kind of tradition that the #1 for each map will post their solution afterwards, so you'll find out on Monday....

No worries you'll improve gradually. Some people play this game for almost a year now.

Nice to see you participating! :)

No, that's the forum time adjusted to your time zone. Forum time is GMT/UTC minus 6 hours (so a difference of seven hours with your Danish time) as stated in the main topic.
