ATTENTION "Texas 42" DOMINO PLAYERS
We are planning a new event at TICC this year at TICC. It will be:
The TICC First Ever Almost Annual "Texas 42" Domino Tournament
Commonly called "42" this game is more formally known as "Texas 42" Dominos, but it is played in a lot of different areas besides Texas and anyone from anywhere wishing to participate is welcome and invited.
This tournament will be held on the judging stage at TICC on Tuesday, November 2, 2010 starting about 6:00 PM. We are still working out the organization and managing details and things like entry fees, time limits for games, methods of choosing partners, etc.
We anticipate that we will have a team limit of 16 (two person) teams.
At this point we expect the play will consist of two parts - first a set of four round-robin groups (Level one) and this will reduce our 16 teams down to four. The next level (Level two) will be a four team double elimination to determine the over-all champion.
In this format every team will play at least two games (likely three) and then if they succeed in moving to the next level there will be at least two more games. The eventual winner can lose one game in the level one round and another in the level two round and still have a chance for winning the tournament. The team winning the tournament must win at least 5 games (possibly more if they lose some games).
Entry fee will be set to pay for the prize (two sets of TICC Commemorative Dominos) for the winning team and make some money for the CASI Scholarship fund.
We are hoping to have a tournament that will provide the best and fairest possible competition for all teams. We also want to give the tournament players the best opportunity to demonstrate their skills at evaluating the hands they draw, bidding those hands to their highest potential, and then playing those hands to achieve the bids.
To help us to prepare for the competitors, please send an email to toko@goshawkenv.com and let me (Elton Homesley) know of your interest in participating in the tournament. Also anyone willing to help operate and run the tournament, please let me know that too.
We are using a lot of different resources to make this competition a reality and hopefully we'll have it all together soon.
Anyone interested in "42" domino tournaments and how they might operate are referred to this website: http://www.texas42.net/tourneyplayers.html
We will probably follow a lot of the rules, info, and recommendations on this site. I recommend reading the various commentaries included.
