Ok people.......Here's the next Bingo Game.
Do you enjoy the Cadre Zoom calls?? Do you look forward to the fun and spirited banter? Can't wait to see what chore Matt will be doing during the Zoom? Do you love the Bingo? Do you get up early to see how much abuse has been flung at the feet of the current caller? Well.....how about both at the same time???
Sign ups are starting todaybut the actual Zoom call date and time are currently TBD as the Zoom call needs to be scheduled with our illustrious overlord Leader, @BarberDave (he has the Zoom account.....so we play be his rules.....in so many ways).
**Edit**
The Zoom call will be on Sunday, October 8th at 4pm Pacific time, 5pm mountain, 6pm central, 7pm eastern (if you live in any other time zone...do your own math...and move).
The basic idea will be that during the Zoom call.....yours truly will be slipping Bingo calls in at random. I may say it out loud....I may hold up a card with a call written on it. I may come up with other silly way to make calls....You never know.
The plan is to hold the Zoom call either on October 8thor October 15th (pending the approval of the Zoom account guy). The winning pattern will be a double Bingo. And two bingos on the same card.....wins!!
Ok....here we go!!
1. Sign-ups are open starting right now. Once the Zoom call starts.....no more sign ups allowed. I'll be busybeing silly making calls to stop and send out a card. The first call will be on the Zoom call (date and time TBD CONFIRMED!! Sunday October 8th 4pm Pacific time)
2. You must be a TSC member in good standing, with at least 10 meaningful posts. Hopefully this will encourage at least some of our newer members to jump in!
3. Spirited banter is highly encouraged, but be a gentleman in all interactions.
4. Calls will be Standard American Bingo Hall calls, consisting of the Letters: B, I, N, G, or O and their corresponding Numbers: 1-75 (Examples: B2, I18, N42, G55, O69). If I say it or you see me display it during the Zoom call....its a valid call.
4a. Exceptions: The numbers in my (or another player’s)username and random numbers in a file name (e.g. a photo or GIF) will not be a valid call. I don’t want to be double checking the names of every file I upload!
5. There will be only one game played during the zoom call. Miss it and you're out of luck.
6. Calls can occur in a variety of ways:
Plain Text calls, typed directly or hidden within a post. Puzzles, Word Games, Photo, video, numeric, code, alternate Languages, audio, encryption, steganography, links to external sources, or graphic representation of calls may be employed.
Calls may be encoded or hidden in puzzles, requiring the player to decode or solve to determine the actual call. (If at any point you are stumped you may contact the caller or another player by PM for help).
7. Bingo cards: Each player will receive 1 Card, which will be sent via PM before the game begins. You may print out your cards, or keep it digital. As calls are received mark them on your cards.
8. To win, you will need a double Bingo on your card shown on the examples below.
Several examples are shown.....but if you have two bingos on a single card......you win.
Once you believe you have a bingo you must YELL "TSC BINGO" on the Zoom. The first person to call TSC BINGO wins the game (There are no ties). Then you must show your card on the Zoom, for verification by the caller, before it is official. If it is not a good Bingo, play will resume.
9. The winner of this game will receive the following:
The highly coveted Bingo Wizard Badge and bragging rights!
The honor of being the caller of the next Bingo game (to be started within 4 weeks of winning--no bogarting the badge!).
An additional prize may be offered at the discretion of the caller (callers are not required to offer a prize)
10. These rules must be posted by the caller before each game, edited for the specifics of their game.
11. If you have any questions, or if any rule needs clarification, let the caller know. The caller has the final say in any questions, disputes, or clarifications regarding calls/rules.
12. Have Fun! Or, Go Crazy! But..... Why Not Both??
