Title: CANASTA TOURNAMENT: Beware the (Day after Tomorrow of) Ides of April
Post by: hsch on April 10, 2011, 03:12:41 PM
The 2011 spring Canasta Tournament will take place on Friday, April 15, in 136 Barrows. The tournament starts at 7:10 PM!

This will be a singles tournament where you will play six games against six different opponents. The players will be ranked based on the number of wins, with ties broken using two-step dominance. That is, ties get broken in your favor if you beat a lot of tough opponents during your six games.

Prizes include bragging rights, boxes of chocolate, and TROPHIES.

May the best mind-reader win!

Ooh, this setup made me think of the king chicken theorem if this were a round robin tournament. Either way, sounds fun :]

Fun fact of the day: The Ides of April is actually the 13th, not the 15th.
The Romans used Ides to refer to the 15th for some months (such as March)
and the 13th for other months (such as April).
