Stately Play Decathlon 2021

[Codington]

Hi all! Well it has been another great event - and we got it done with time to spare in 2021!

Thanks to everyone for participation, patience, and perseverance!

This year saw some epic battles, introduced new games to some of you, and rekindled interest in some old games.

Without further ado, here are the final standings:

Kudos to our medalists - an epic final tie between @Hardco and @feederofgoats had to be broken by looking at their head-to-head record! And @Baelnor leap-frogged from 6th to 3rd with a win in the final game!

Special mentions:

@Hardco - the “King of the Hill” award (repeat tournament win)

@kennfusion - the “All or Nothing” award (only wins and losses, no 2nd place finish)

@JammaTal and @doublebullout - the “Runner-Up” award (most 2nd place finishes - 7/10!)

@Mirefox - the “Perseverance” award (most losses)

@KYakerDude - the “Most Improved” award (jumped from 14th in the last event to 6th place)

@Codington - the “Help I’ve Fallen” award (fell from 3rd place tie in the last event to 13th place )

@HostileApostle - the “Rookie” award (new to Stately Play!)

All in all, I think we can call this a successful Decathlon and I look forward to starting the process all over again next month! Until then, happy gaming!

[feederofgoats]

Congratulations @Hardco! And thanks for organising @Codington (I’m sure the stress of organising is why you got the ‘Help I’ve Fallen’ award!)

This has been a really fun competition, and really smoothly run… Looking forward to next year’s event!

Congrats @Hardco and great finish @feederofgoats! Thanks for running this @Codington.

I look forward to the craziness of picking the games for our 2022 competition.

[JaneHatke]

Congratulations to our winners! Codington, it was a great tournament. Thanks for all the time and hard work you put into this so we could all enjoy fun competition! Looking forward to the next one!

[Hardco]

I was sort of hoping for a tiebreak 11th event, but I’ll take the win! Well played @feederofgoats, I’m sure we get more head-to-head matches in the 2022 decathlon!

Thanks for running the event again @Codington. Does this also end the tradition of whoever runs the decathlon also wins it? I’m not sure whether my memory is too accurate…

[Mirefox]

My life is a perseverance award…

[Schlotzky]

medal of excellence in organizing and management for @Codington

[HostileApostle]

Had a lot of fun this year. Hopefully I can show some improvement in next year’s event.

Thanks for the good games and friendships!

[SpiceTheCat]

Congratulations to @Hardco, and many thanks to @Codington for a successful Decathlon. Nice to play a bunch of new games (Castles of Burgundy awesome, RftG essence of tedium ). Ready for 2022.

[JammaTal]

although i lost miserably in the Decathlon’s CoB it was the most-fun event for me.

i think it’s time for trying to defend my 1st SP CoB championship title and make a call for the 2nd run.
anyone else interested?

[Mirefox]

I’d probably play, mainly since I don’t understand the game and probably need to play more. Easy wins for whomever is at my table.

[geigerm]

I’m always up for more CoB.

[SpiceTheCat]

Also up for playing more CoB.

[doublebullout]

Same here. Loved CoB, never played before this year’s Decathlon.
