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

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 ā€œKing of the Hillā€ award (repeat tournament win)

@kennfusion - the ā€œAll or Nothingā€ award (only wins and losses, no 2nd place finish)

@JammaTal and @doublebullout - the ā€œRunner-Upā€ award (most 2nd place finishes - 7/10!)

@Mirefox - the ā€œPerseveranceā€ award (most losses)

@KYakerDude - the ā€œMost Improvedā€ award (jumped from 14th in the last event to 6th place)

@Codington - the ā€œHelp Iā€™ve Fallenā€ award (fell from 3rd place tie in the last event to 13th place :wink: )

@HostileApostle - the ā€œRookieā€ 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!

Congratulations @Hardco! And thanks for organising @Codington (Iā€™m sure the stress of organising is why you got the ā€˜Help Iā€™ve Fallenā€™ award!)

This has been a really fun competition, and really smoothly runā€¦ Looking forward to next yearā€™s event!

I was sort of hoping for a tiebreak 11th event, but Iā€™ll take the win! Well played @feederofgoats, Iā€™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? Iā€™m not sure whether my memory is too accurateā€¦

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 :slight_smile: ). Ready for 2022.

although i lost miserably in the Decathlonā€™s CoB it was the most-fun event for me.

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

Iā€™d probably play, mainly since I donā€™t understand the game and probably need to play more. Easy wins for whomever is at my table.

721

Iā€™m always up for more CoB.

722

Also up for playing more CoB.

723

Same here. Loved CoB, never played before this yearā€™s Decathlon.
