Third Points Update

Hi All,

The third points update for the Side Duels and Challenges has been posted.

Things are really starting to heat up with multiple entries in the Black Powder duel and several others now kicking off.

PLEASE send me an email to challengesideduels@gmail.com when you collect points for your duel. I'm having to track back through posts and find qualifying entries which is a laborious and potentially error-prone way to go about things. At times I'm not 100% sure if a post should be included or not.

As always, please check the points and make sure they're correct.

Cheers,
Millsy The Duels Wallah

Second Points Update

Hi All,

The second points update for the Side Duels and Challenges has been posted.

We've had the further shots fired in the Black Powder duel but that's all at this point. I fear it may be the calm before the storm!

Hi All,

Another update. PhilH has been added to the Parent Duel. To cap today off we now have two grown men trying to outdo one another with camels. Go figure...

Side Duels and Challenges Available!

Hi All,

The first round of the Side Duels and Challenges roster is available via the link on the menu above! It will continue to live there and be the one source of truth for all point tallies, etc.

This includes all the material sent to me previously via email, plus that which I was confident I could capture from the comments on the main Challenge blog.

If there are any corrections or additions please send them to challengesideduels@gmail.com and I will amend accordingly. The roster will continue to grow up to and potentially even past the start of the Challenge.

Have I got your side duel listed correctly?

PLEASE review the roster if you have issued or accepted a side duel to ensure I've got you down correctly and that the rules and spoils of the victor are a true reflection of what's been agreed.

Have you really thought about what you're doing?

You will notice that a number of side duels don't have agreed prizes and in some cases even the rules are yet to be defined. I assume this is because you've been struck dumb by the sheer terror of what you have committed to. Or not. Either way, please let me know the details ASAP.

Some housekeeping stuff...

1. I'll be updating a couple of times a week, probably around Wednesday and Sunday evenings my time i.e. Australian Eastern Daylight Time. Whenever you score points towards your side duel please email me and it will be added in the next update. Likewise if you win a side duel.

2. I've structured the rules of each side duel to remove any reference to losers. There are no losers here, just winners and the rest. :-)

3. It is assumed that victors have bragging rights. There's no need to include that in the rules of each and every duel! No, really, there isn't.

4. If you have a question please ask! I'll endeavour to answer as quickly as possible and where relevant will post here for the benefit of all.

That's it for now people. Now get back to prepping and virtually slapping one another about the face with a metaphorical gauntlet.

Yours affectionately,
Millsy the Side Duels Wallah
