Last edited by crushadmin on Mon May 01, 2017 12:45 pm; edited 10 times in total

Dear Crushers,

PLEASE TAKE TIME TO READ THE NEW RULES AND PRIZES STRUCTURES wink

AND PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTES FOR THE 3RD (PLAYERS CHOICE) GAME

NOTE THAT THIS MONTH - ALL PRIZES THAT WERE PREVIOUSLY CC-POINTS PRIZES ARE NOW BINGO POINTS PRIZES -- AND ALL PRIZES WILL BE CREDITED DURING THE BINGO SESSION

YOU CAN ALSO QUICKLY ACCESS THE RHYMING BINGO NUMBERS PAGE BETWEEN GAMES AND SUBMIT YOUR NUMBERS SO YOU DO NOT MISS OUT wink

Welcome to our new Bingo Marathon with 1 session (each of 4 games) per week during April 2017. There will also be cash prizes every bingo session in addition to the monthly Bingo Points contest and Rhyming Bingo numbers draw (now with more prizes!)

This is also a great opportunity to meet and introduce yourself to your fellow Crushers, make some new friends and play our now "even more enhanced" bingo whilst chatting and sharing jokes.

Here is our planned schedule for Bingo Chat this month.
(Please note these are subject to change but this will only be done if really necessary)

Friday 7th April at 3pm EST -- Played
Friday 14th April at 3pm EST -- Played
Friday 21st April at 3pm EST -- Played
Friday 28th April at 3pm EST -- Played

There will be 4 games in each session as follows ...

Game 1:
A quick game of Any Line to kick things off - $1 for 100 ccpoints + 1 Bingo Point per bingo winner.

Game 2:
Another quick game (pattern decided by the caller each time) - $1 for 100 ccpoints + 1 Bingo Point per Bingo winner

Game 3:
Players choice - Vote your desired pattern from the selection available for voting this month (this will change each month) and we will play which ever has the most votes at the start of each session (votes will NOT be reset - but can be cast throughout the month) - if votes are equal then I will play as many of the highest voted as possible over the month.

See all of our Bingo Patterns (below)

The prize for Game 3 will be determined based on the pattern played (the lesser numbers needed = smaller prizes but possibly more players can win
OR more numbers needed = bigger prizes but maybe less players will bingo) -- these will be determined at each session by the caller (and could change for the same pattern on different weeks).

The MINIMUM prize will be $1 (for 100 CCpoints) per bingo winner.

PLUS 1 Bingo Point per Bingo winner.

Game 4:

Coverall !!! The biggest of our games is the Coverall where you must match ALL numbers on your card to win bingo.

Prizes for this game:
$5 for 500 ccpoints for 1 Bingo Winner,
$3 for 300 ccpoints for 2 Bingo Winners,
$2 for 200 ccpoints for 3 or more Bingo Winners

PLUS 1 Bingo Point per Bingo Winner!

EVERY BINGO GAME INCLUDES MORE GAMES AND PRIZES!

First To Red
When the first Crusher in a game gets a Red bingo card (meaning they only have 1 number left to get bingo) - they will (each) receive 1 Bingo Point (these *MUST* be claimed by the players typing RED in Live Chat -- the admin/caller will allow between 20-30 seconds for you to call RED and claim your prize! Anyone not paying attention will NOT be credited their prize (no exceptions!)

The game is then paused for the following Next Number guessing contest ...

Next Number guessing game
Everyone is asked to guess the next number to be called ...

Your game card window will change so that a grid of numbers as yet uncalled will be displayed for you to choose from.

Each Crusher can have ONE guess and the first guess only will be taken. You may choose the same number as another player. When you choose your number it will be automatically entered into chat. YOU MUST USE THE BUTTON IN YOUR GAME CARD TO SUBMIT YOUR *NEXT NUMBER* -- TYPING IT MANUALLY IN CHAT WILL NOT BE COUNTED AS A GUESS !!

When the next number is drawn, anyone that guessed the exact number ("on the nose") - will win 1 Bingo Point (each).

If nobody guesses the exact number then the closest guess(es) will instead win 1 Bingo Point 200 ccpoints (each if equally close)

GOING FOR BINGO
The game will then continue until a player (or players) have bingo. You *MUST* claim by typing BINGO in the chat room. Anyone not claiming Bingo within around 30 seconds (admin/caller will count down the last 10 seconds) -- will have their card removed for the remainder of the game and we will continue until we have Bingo that is claimed.

EVERY BINGO SESSION HAS A DIFFERENT "LUCKY NUMBER"

Before the start of each session - there will be a Lucky Number drawn and announced. If you get Bingo on the Lucky Number in any of the games during that session you will get *2 EXTRA BINGO POINTS* for that game!
--> It is important that you CLAIM IF YOU WIN BINGO ON A LUCKY NUMBER .... When you type "BINGO" to claim bingo -- you can type "BINGO LUCKY or BINGO on Lucky Number" .. something that is obviously about claiming the extra bingo point for getting bingo on the Lucky Number wink

DURING (OR AFTER) EACH SESSION -- PICK YOUR RHYMING NUMBERS
For each Bingo Point you win, you are allowed to pick a "Rhyming Bingo Number" from the list of remaining (unpicked) numbers available.

These will be used to draw another 5 random winners of $3 (for 300 ccpoints) soon after the end of the month.

The Rhyming Bingo Numbers are noted and updated in the post below as they are chosen using our new "Rhyme your Numbers" page linked to here:-

PICK YOUR RHYMING BINGO NUMBERS HERE

You can also access this page during our games from your game card window (near the top) so you can go ahead and rhyme your numbers as soon as your bingo point(s) are credited during the session wink

AT THE END OF THE BINGO MARATHON

TOTAL BINGO POINTS PRIZES:
After the last scheduled session of the month the 1st and 2nd place Crushers with the most Bingo Points will each win $5 (for 500 ccpoints).

If there is a tie for 1st or 2nd place then prizes will be shared as follows:-

1st place drawn between 2 players - $5 for 500 ccpoints each
.............. drawn between 3 players - $3 for 300 ccpoints each
............... drawn for 4 or more players - $2 for 200 ccpoints each
(If there is a tie for 1st place - prizes will be shared as above, with no 2nd place prizes)

2nd place (only if there is a single 1st place winner)
............... drawn between 2 players - $3 for 300 ccpoints each
............... drawn between 3 players - $2 for 200 ccpoints each
............... drawn between 4 or more players - $1 for 100 ccpoints each

RHYMING BINGO NUMBER PRIZES
There will be *5* numbers randomly drawn from ALL of those that have rhymed bingo numbers ... (random numbers are drawn until we have 5 winners)

* Each member can win more than 1 rhyming number prize! *

This draw will be made AFTER the end of the month to give players a chance to submit their final rhyming bingo numbers in the Rhyming Bingo Numbers topic for that month.

YOU CAN NOW QUICKLY GO TO THE RHYMING BINGO NUMBERS SELECTION PAGE DIRECTLY FROM YOUR BINGO CARD WINDOW (BETWEEN EACH GAME IF YOU LIKE) ... wink

IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU SUBMIT YOUR RHYMING BINGO NUMBERS QUICKLY AFTER YOU WIN BINGO POINTS AND MOST IMPORTANT THAT THIS IS DONE BEFORE 6PM (EST) ON THE LAST DAY OF THE MONTH!!!

The page allowing you to add your rhyming bingo numbers will automatically close at around 7pm EST (12am/midnight GMT/UTC server time on last night / 1st day of the following month).

The Rhyming Bingo prizes are $3 for 300 ccpoints each (note there are now 5 prizes rather than 2)

HOW TO PLAY CC CHAT BINGO

Before the start of each Bingo Session (this can be done any time after the cards have been reset each week - usually within 24 hours of the last bingo session) CLAIM YOUR BINGO CARD HERE AND THEN CLICK "PLAY CC BINGO" IN THE RED SECTION (this will bring up your bingo card in a separate window) AND THEN CLICK ON "LIVE CHAT"..

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE POP-UPS ENABLED SO THAT YOUR GAME CARD POP-UP CAN BE ACTIVATED.

Click on the LIVE CHAT link to also open up another pop-up window for our Live Chat and join us in the Bingo Chat room wink

Come play our enhanced Live Chat Bingo - you can see your card being daubed as you play and if you win.. make sure you have got your volume up! If you get Bingo - quickly head back to Live Chat and type "Bingo!" to claim your prize!

If you have any problems getting into our chat room please send a Private Message to crushadmin for assistance (please type Bingo/Chat problem in your message subject).

RULES
We will start our first game at 5 minutes after the session start time. Everyone wishing to play bingo should have their card claimed AND be in the chat room ready to play by that time.

In order to qualify for a Bingo Prize ... you MUST have entered the Chat Room within the first 5 numbers of the current game being called. If you happen to join after this - your card will be suspended for the current game but you will be able to join in the next game automatically.

You *MUST* be in the chat room and claim ANY prizes you win (this includes both FIRST TO RED prizes and BINGO) -- you must type "RED" when you are the first player to get Red (1 number to go) OR "BINGO" when you have got Bingo .... you will have 30 seconds from the time the number triggering your win is called. If you have not replied (or not in the room) within this time - your card will be suspended for the remainder of the game. Whilst some lee-way may be given if we understand a player is having difficult with Live Chat - The Bingo Callers decision will be final.

Sounds good Geno. Except I feel that you should only get 1 Bingo point if you guess the next number exactly. Otherwise there is going to be a million bingo points for everybody each month.

But I'm fine with whatever. It was just a suggestion.

Posted: Thu Apr 06, 2017 6:35 pm (No subject)

Geno, this is just a thought.... have you considered that under the new format there may be more than 75 bingo points awarded? We used to rhyme numbers 1 thru 90 and that might be needed again.

Dear dbonkers, NonoNanette,

Thanks for your replies -

I have changed the nearest number rules so that only if you get it "on the nose" will you get a bingo point. Otherwise - it will be 200 ccpoints (as before). I have updated this in the topic (above) and this will now remain all month (so we play the same rules for all games). This of course makes it a lot fairer - and quite right a bingo point for getting nearest was a bit much. Also, as we don't get "on the nose" so often - I think we should be ok with 75 numbers -- but I can always extend that (or just have a maximum 75 limit). (The reason I put it back to 75 is that is how many numbers we play in our bingo and therefore I can re-use your rhymes in our games) .. although this month I've not had chance to refresh them again yet -- but will do after April as we'll have many more to choose from Smile

Also, it was pointed out that I hadn't reset and updated the Bingo Cards page (thanks win4maw) -- this is now done so ....

PLEASE PICK YOUR BINGO CARD READY FOR OUR GAMES ON FRIDAY wink

PLEASE ALSO VOTE WHICH PATTERN YOU WOULD LIKE FOR OUR 3RD GAME as I've now added these (again thanks to win4maw for reminding me)! Please see the first post in this topic (at the top) to cast your vote wink

Thanks and Happy Gaming Always,

Geno/CC
