See
here (http://knucklecracker.com/forums/index.php?topic=4621.0) for the rules, an overview of themes and previous tournaments and the overall ranking.
Please post your progress/total scores in this topic.
One of the maps got already a few plays. But I guess that is not a problem, because non of the usual participants has posted scores (if I'm not mistaken)
I see the one that got a few plays; just use recent scores for contest scoring.
edit: Actually three of the maps had previous plays; but the same comment applies. Use the recent scores for contest scoring. (BTW RandyTravis was a participant in some earlier tournaments.)
My scores so far:
Sept 1 1939 8442 11:04
July 16 1945 8219 13:00 (Nice try; but it's not QUITE the unbeatable Chronom map.)
Aug 6 1945 9549 2:50
Aug 9 1945 8786 8:17
Oct 31 1952 9674 2:01
Total 44670

I'm happy I figured out the second one. I've never used that technique before.
My others (especially 1 and 4) could use a lot of improvement.
how can the 2nd one be beaten, ive tried multiple ways but still cant get it
ajasquared, I've sent you a hint (via pm). I guess I should rather not post it in this thread.
@katra: thanks. I'm sorry I missed that...

No problem hi. When I look at the times set so far it looks like you found some very interesting maps and that's worth something as well. :)
RandyTravis is actually the father of these tournaments, as he came up with the idea of the Assassinations tournament. I just picked up the idea of a themed tournament and decided to organize it weekly. As far as I'm concerned we can make an exception for this specific situation because we kind of owe him something. If his likes to participate (even with his old times) it's fine with me.

Could be I'm making some progress. Still amazed at some scores in these tourneys though.
The last map is incorrect, it should be November 1. but depending on which timezone your in it can vary...

I'll play if I can, earlier in the quarter, I tried to keep up with CW... and then midterms... and then the final project... and yeah. So basically I stopped playing, and the plays are from this summer. Hopefully over break I'll be able to play in a few, and I'm glad to see this tournament is still a weekly thing =].

haven't posted them! Sorry for posting so late. ::)

I'm sorry I didn't manage to optimise most of the maps much. I'll be back stronger next week!
