Welcome to tonight's Evolution.

Today you are playing Shot for Shot.

In this challenge each team's players will have to work together to make as many shots as they can in their individual team thread.  The way it works is the first player to start a cycle on the team will post the phrase:

PICKS UP BALL

then that players has a choice.  They can pass the ball to another player on their team in order to make the shot worth more points by posting the phrase:

PASSES BALL TO (TEAMMATE'S EXACT USERNAME)

or score the ball by posting the phrase:

SCORES BALL

Only players will be allowed to post in their group threads, not other people and NOT CADRES.  Each individual can only touch the ball in a cycle ONCE.  When the ball is scored the score will be: (number of people who touched the ball in that cycle)/(total number of people on that team).  So if 2 members of a 4 person team touched the ball before it is scored, then that scored ball will be worth 2/4 points which is (0.5 or 1/2).  Once a ball is scored you may immediately start another cycle.

If someone gets locked out (if only 1 person picks up and scores consistently), I will not post to unlock it and anyone who is not a current player can post to unlock it.

As we are now down to 4 teams, the game will now adjust.

The ONE TEAM who has the most points will win this Evolution and earn safety from the Circus and elimination.  They will also earn the right to choose the Circus type.  The Circus Save portion has now ENDED now that we are down to only 4 teams.  The 3 bottom teams will have to face the Circus where either the team or the Cadre (depending on placement) will choose who will face the Circus.

Teams will have until TOMORROW (Saturday) at 3 am est (just under 24 hours) to score as many points as possible.

I can reveal this round is a normal single elimination round so only 1 of the 3 in the Circus will be eliminated.

If you have any questions you can mail me.

Good luck.

You may begin whenever once I post all 4 team threads.
