Tournaments
New 9 Game GrassRoots Traditional Cribbage Tournament Rules:
In this style, everybody plays 9 games against 9 different random opponents regardless of win or lose. The top 3 players after the 9 game round robin win the trophies.
After the tournament is seeded, everybody will have a scorecard where they can see their 9 opponents. The opponents MUST be played in order on the card.
You can click Tournaments / View ScoreCard to see your scorecard.
The scorecard will be AUTO-POPULATED by the program after every game. A win is 2 points, a skunk is 3 points.
There is also a graphical view of who is playing who. Click Tournaments / View Game Tables, this is another way to see the current matchups.
The players on the left side of the table just stay where they are the whole tournament. Only the ones on the right move up. If your next table is
currently occupied, you will have to wait until that game is complete before playing.
These tournaments are very important that a player doesn't quit before they play their 9 games. If they do they
will be docked 50 ratings points for quitting before finishing.
