WELCOME TO THE STEEMIT KNOCKOUT SERIES!

Knockout Series Explained

Everyone who comments on this post is entered into the game. After 3½ days (84 Hours) days the entry is closed and all new replies will not be able to join in the fun. After the closing time we will have many players that will be randomly placed into a knockout style chart similar to this one:

The chart will be adjusted according to how many players enter. After the 3½ days for entry I will select everyone who has entered and place their names into a reply on THIS POST. I will post it at random (I love dice so will use them to decide exactly what time of day this will go out). You will get notified that they have been mentioned in my post/reply with the Round Keyword. (For help on getting notified, Click here)Replying before your opponent, knocks them out!

Rules:

• Steemd.com will be used to track the replies to ensure accuracy. I have thought of bots being super fast so each round will have a KEYWORD that must be entered into your reply.

• You have to reply with the keyword to my KNOCKOUT ROUND REPLY (the reply mentioning all the players entered in that round and the KEYWORD for that round) before your opponent does to knock them out and advance to the next round. SPEED IS KEY HERE.

• Depending on the amount of players I will work out how many rounds we need to go. With 3½ days left before payout. If we have to go 6 rounds for example it will be 84/6=14 hours. Thus one random reply within each 14 hour window.

• It is possible that not all players will take part in Round One in order to balance the charts. Players will be entered into the charts at random. Keep in mind, if you are mentioned in the KNOCKOUT ROUND REPLY you need to respond ASAP.

• If two players have not knocked each other out before the new KNOCKOUT ROUND REPLY there will be a coin flip to decide who gets knocked out and who moves on.

• The Entry Date will end on June 20th at EXACTLY 08:00 UTC time. Any new replies will not qualify
