ANYTIME VARIATION TOURNEYS:


**Open to all hosts. You must include the rules on the tourney page for the special you are hosting as well as announcing it in the room with the correct rules. These have been hosted in slots effectively. If you would like to host these in another game, please contact Admin first to determine if it is feasible.


Buccaneers Boat Tour: True Swiss Format 4-6 rounds. Host schedules one tourney. Each round is scheduled in a DIFFERENT game marked under custom rules. Follow rules for each game. Host will advise players in the tourney to add them to their pogo friends list. TD must be able to host all the games chosen. There can be multiple winners in a true Swiss and any bonus bux to be awarded will be split evenly among the winners by Cases system! This can be hosted by any capable host!

Brain Teaser: The TD asks trivia questions. Can be a theme related ... i.e. Halloween, Christmas, sports, music etc. At the end the players put in their results along with their guess i.e. winner/loser (token count) By any capable host.

Fact or Fiction/True or False: Similar to Brain Teaser except the TD picks facts/fiction (myths) or true/false questions. Players present their answers when reporting results. Bonus bux to first player with right guess. Additional bonus bux for true/false if the player can tell what the true fact is. By any capable host.

Identity Crisis: Players will be playing as someone else. Players register as usual. The TD then reassigns their identities. Then that player plays for that player the whole game, i.e. whatever they score it becomes their new identities score. I have my own way of reassigning players. (Currently Hosted by No One)


Deal or No Deal: Host will have a Deal Number from 1-50. All players will submit their guess at that number. Player closest to the Deal Number will play Deal or No Deal. Should there be a tie of 2 players closest to the number, those 2 players will guess the Tie Breaker Deal Number. They will choose case 1-15. Prizes in each case can consist of Buxs ranging from 10-1,000 Buxs, Choose another Case, or a Stopper (Meaning you are done). Additional prizes can consist of Buccaneer logo prizes in the future. Host of Tour will submit the Deal number, Tie Breaker Deal number and Cases 1- 15 "prizes" with tour jump number to Head admin email address--BuccaneerAggs@aol.com on setting up the tour. All non-premium hosts can still host this, if they secure a premium donator for their buxs. Platinum host beware you can only gift 500 buxs.

WildNCrazy Deuces: One host will post 2 tours at the same time in the same game. Players will have 2 opponents to compete against at the same time. Or 2 host can post their tours at the same time in the same game. One host will run rules and macs, players will have 2 opponents to compete against at the same time.

Winners Choice: Winner of the finishing tourney gets to pick the next game played. Vaults/Slots Variation: Winner of the round gets to decide if the next round is a backwards or forwards (winner wins the round or loser wins the round)

Open Seas: Host collects scores as usual. Player furthest away from their original score wins. (Forward or Backwards does not matter) i.e. Player 1 begins 53000 ends 52500 = - 500. Player 2 begins 53000 ends 53200 = +200. Player one wins because their total tokens won/lost is furthest from their beginning score. ***This tourney can only be done in Vaults or slots game.

Whirlpool: First round (Forward) the winner wins the round. Second round (Backwards) the loser wins the round etc. The TD MUST remind players prior to each round if it's Backwards or Forwards, all tours should start out forwards first. ***This tourney can only be done in Vaults or slots game.

Backwards: All rounds the "winner" is the player who loses the most tokens. ***This tourney can only be done in Vaults or slots game.

Roulette: Not to be confused with the game "Roulette" TD announces a number (example: 500) the player whose results are CLOSEST to that number wins the round. Can be a positive or negative number if in vaults/slots. If in vaults/slots, please note: if player 1 is up 2500 tokens and the player 2 is down -100 tokens .. the loser would actually win since they are the closest to the +500.

Pirate Chest Trivia: Pick a topic. Let the winners in each round guess what the answer to your questions are for bonus buxs.

Birthday Bash: All Buccaneers can submit their birthday via the Birthday link. Head hosts will check the pages each month and hold a tour in honor of that player. Best if the Head TD contact player to schedule the tourney the player would like and time convenient for both. Bonus Birthday Bux can be offered!

Big Bux Tourneys : (Anything over 1500) Name says it all. Hosted by any host that is capable of gifting or donating the stated amount. Please Contact Admin so tour can be posted on the main page. All hosts can donate even non premium. Premium members are allowed to gift according to their membership. See training pages for further details.

Broken Clock: First round will be a full 10 minute round, each round after will reduce in time ~ Host will announce playing minutes for each round. If a round is under 5 minutes and tokens can be lost, the DQ timer will change from 2 minutes to 1 minute.

Badge Day Tourneys: All host can participate!! The Hosts will make posts tours on Weds  for the Weekly Badges. Bonus buxs offered for those obtaining their badge during tour. IF you'd like to be a part of the rotation please Contact Admin.
