San Francisco - 175 Years



175 Years ago, on April 15, 1850, the city of San Francisco was incorporated with a population of about 25,000.
Today, more than 800,000 people call the city home.

Gold dust birthed a boomtown’s frame,
Barbary winds whispered fortune’s name.
Earthquakes roared, yet towers still climbed,
A bridge of fire painted the breeze in time.

Alcatraz shackles drowned in fog’s embrace,
Haight-Ashbury hummed with love’s bright trace.
Silicon circuits bloomed where cable cars glide,
A city of dreams, anchored by the tide.

How do we deal with deadbeating?
Please report deadbeats in your games by sending a PM to groovysmurf and chanakam2020. We will evaluate the distribution of prizes to a violating player on a case by case basis.

Tiebreakers?
Ties are awarded to the player who reached the point threshold first, unless indicated otherwise.

A player has me foed and it is preventing me from joining a lot of challenge games. What can I do?
PM the player in question. Be courteous and non-accusatory, ask why you are foed. Do your best to resolve any issues with the other user in this manner. However, if they decided not to remove you from their foe list then you will need to join games without that player or start your own.

What if I want to run a parallel tournament to the challenge?
Okay, awesome! Individual tournaments can be added to the challenges so that those games drop tokens. Send us a PM and we will get it added for the month. Remember that games that do not complete by the allotted time, will not drop tokens!

Suggestions and Requests
Go here and post if you have any ideas or special requests for future events.

Rulings:
1. Deadbeats will have entry points stripped.
