Critical Thinking Site Tournaments

[devonin]

So there've been a number of tourneys over the past year or so, with strong components of critical thinking, analysis, and mental prowess. It seems to me that taking part in such tourneys can only make all of us better thinkers and therefore, in my opinion, better people in general.

For what effect it might have to encourage people to start hosting/taking part in such tourneys, I'm going to compile here a list of completed tourneys and start keeping an overall standings ranking.

Any tournament that gets run that has a substantial mental component and runs successfully to completion can be added here. If I've missed one, please let me know and it can be added in.

Hopefully this starts an increase in activity in the new and improved tournament forum, and we can really get the mental challenge tourneys equal in number and quality to the FFR tournaments.

For reference, the scoring for these rankings is done by assigning 1000 points to the winner, and subtracting 1000/x points from each place where x is the number of players. Thus you'd lose 100 points per place in a 10 person game, 50 in a 20 person game, etc. I originally set it up using the X*0.9 system, but it was really harsh to large tourneys, where you could get top 50% in a 100 person tourney and get basically no points compared to someone who got top 50% in a 10 person tourney.

Congratulations on this thread. I think it will, and hope it will, increase the productivity of the Critical Thinking forum.

Re: Critical Thinking Site Tournaments

It seems to me that taking part in such tourneys can only make all of us better thinkers and therefore, in my opinion, better people in general.

Currently Running Mental Tourneys
