You may have heard of the game show called Lingo, or you may have not. Either way, I suggest you read below to see how this version is played. (Very complicated...just a warning)

Two teams of 2 users get a Bingo card (10 numbers are marked automatically) which will be made using this site. A 5-letter word will be given, blanked out except for one letter. I'll give an example:

S _ _ _ _

One team gets 5 chances to guess the word. When they guess, if a letter that's in the secret word is also in the word they say and it's in the same place, the word is turned red, and shown in one of the blanks.
For example:
Team 1: Smart?

S M A R T
S M _ _ _

If one letter in the guessed word is also in the secret word, but in a different spot, the letter is yellow.
For example:

Team 1: Smell?

S M A R T
S M E L L
S M _ _ _
When a team gets the word...

Team 1: Smile?

S M I L E

Two random numbers are marked on their Bingo card and they get to start the next word. If a number chosen isn't on the Bingo Card, the turn is skipped and the other team gets to start the next word.

If the team can't get it right in 5 tries, then the next team gets a chance with a Bonus Letter. For example:

Team 1: Smirk?

S M I R K
(team 2 gets 1 letter added)
S M I L _

Team 2: Smile?

If team 2 misses it, it goes back to team 1 and they get a bonus letter, although in that case, team 1 would have automaticaly gotten the word.

When a team gets an answer right, they also get 25 points. If a team gets a lingo, then they get 50 points. Whichever team has the most points wins.

And if that didn't make much sense, these rules might
I'm doing this in a tournament style, and I need 8 members to enter, 16 if I an get alot. If you want to enter season 2, please post saying so.

Rules:
1. Normal SPPF rules.

2. Please...DO NOT POST AN ANSWER IF YOU'RE NOT PLAYING!!! I have seen this many times in other games. If you do, we have to give a new word and it will inconveiniance everyone. However, feel free to cheer someone on. You get 1 warning, and if you post an answer again while you're not in the game, you will be banned from this game.

3. If you're playing and you break these rules, I will take you out of the tournament without guilt.

4. If a team who has the word doesn't respond for 48 hours, the word will be given to the other team.

5. This is a very complicated game. So please, if there is anything you don't understand, PM me.


Warned List:

Banned List:
None, good, let's keep it that way.

If you have any questions, please PM me.

you're right...although I'll have to hope no problem occurs since you can't find out the timezones people are in...

You could always ask what time zone people are in. then you could pair up people with similar time zones.

Oh...right...that could work...could those who have entered and whoever enters in the last slot please tell me your time zone? ^_^; If you don't know how to find out your time zone, it's at the bottom of the page.

It says you need sixteen entries, but you only put eight slots. Why...?

...oh right...I'll edit that...^_^;
I decided since I'm most likely not going to get 16 entries, that instead I will take 8 entries divided into 4 teams
Also...PLEASE! Only 1 more entry!
