Weekly 5-Map Tournament - Famous Competitions- closing 30 Sept 2012

[SmileyCoder]

Last week we had quite fierce competition for the top spot, with some of the players playing and replaying maps several times to squeeze a few seconds of the time.

With that in mind, I think the theme for this week should be competitions, so I did a google of Famous competitions and picked out maps I thought looked interesting. Whether or not they are actually worthy of the word famous might be another matter.

Anyways, here is the result.

Why are there so many spaces in "International         Wine Challenge"?

Because the one with no spaces looked very boring :)

[Mr.H]

Auw no 'Ironman' competition D: . That hot dog eating sounds... intresting :P

[SmileyCoder]

*Dough* Now that I think about it, I should of course have listed "Weekly 5-map tournament" on that list.

So for those in the mood for some extra, have a go at:
Penguin'sWeekly 5-map tournament (Note the lack of space)

21 scores, 8 players on day 2. Not bad, looks like it could be another interesting week.

I always try to look at the maps and go for something un-common. Thats why there are so many spaces in that map, and its why there is a 2 at the end of the last map, and a The added in front of the 4th map.

Helper has taken the lead as the first to complete all maps, and top scorer on 3 maps. Well done so far.

LOL!
Thank you, but way too early in the week for me to think those times are going to stand.
I have a stack of 'submitted' maps to play, then will be back trying to shave a few seconds here and there.

I think this is going to be another week, just like the last one.

[SmileyCoder]

Well I have knocked you off the top, but I feel quite sure that it wont stand.

I love the smell of competition in the morning.
:)

[EDIT] - Unless it includes Experimentals or Fields.

[Helper]

Whoa Nellie!
My latest lead didn't hold up for long.
I'm going to re-start Missions 3 & 5 from scratch and see if I can find some extra minutes.

TSC - nice scores.

[SmileyCoder]

Thank you, bit of a unfair advantage, been home with a sick kid today, leaving me a bit of time to play.

I have tried "Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest" 5 times now, and I still cannot come near your score. grrr.

[J]

I won't be able to play play any more maps this week so I'm out :)

Dam, knowing how close your maps usually cut it balance wise, I was really looking forward to the competition from you!

[Helper]

Just knock out #5 real quick and you will have a very solid score.
TSC is kicking the tar out of this thing, but the rest of us can battle for second and third place.
