Collision on Rail Australia!

Congratulations to CoopClaret who won this tournament by 6 trains to TheCrown's 4!

=D>

Can you derail your opponents?
You need to derail the train in front of you so that you can take its track position. However, the train behind you is trying to do the same thing to you..............

I don't understand how players are eliminated? And which player do you play each round, first in front of you, and first behind? Sounds like we need more information here.

HighlanderAttack in please, but yes we do need more info

More information has been added, guys. The player list will be sorted randomly and positioned according to the diagram. The two games are against your two adjacent players, and the winners take the track positions ready for the next round.

Still doesn't fully explain how you're eliminated, or how you change position... I'm guessing you have to lose both of your games in order to be out?

by **DaveH** on Sat Jan 14, 2012 9:30 pm

Yes, it is 1v1 so if you lose both you are out. If you win the one to the right you take on the next opponent in that direction next round - same on the left of course.

I have not seen this type of format, except that it's similar to the "avalanche" format that a recent tournament had, so I thought it would be fun to try. My worry is that it may go on for a while...

And the idea is that you'll end up possessing the entire "board", right? If you win both of your first 2 games, you then have 3 spots on the board. Which means you can lose both of your second round games, but still have one spot left, correct?

Yes - you win by occupying all positions - hence my concern that it may go on for a while!

Also correct on the additional "train" - and I have added a comment to this effect. There are two options - the other is to still have just two chances, and be just 2 losses away from defeat every round despite earlier wins. I think this option would be more suitable as say "Collision on Route 66" with cars instead of trains!

Thanks for the feedback; having thought that it was straight forward, I should know by now that anything slightly different needs a lot of explanation!
