Results and Ranking for 07-09-2011 Cock & Bull Tournament
Hosted by Chris & Heather
Rank | Player | W-L | Points | Special Achievements
#1 | Ani | 5-0 | 186 | Undefeated / Le Pew vs Brian
#2 | Colin | 3-2 | 159 | None
#3 | Kathy | 2-3 | 147 | Le Pew vs Brian
#4 | Brian | 2-3 | 113 | Flying Monkey vs Chris/Heather
#5 | Bret/Chrissy | 2-3 | 105 | Le Pew vs Chris/Heather
#6 | Chris/Heather | 1-4 | 072 | None
There were four individual participants, and two 2-player teams in this tournament. Ani, who averaged over 36 points per game, remains undefeated and ranked #1 in the world of Cock & Bull. Ani will have to defend her title in the next tournament, or risk being bested by any of several worthy competitors. Cock & Bull is still anyone's game folks, so come out and play!
There was plenty of heated competition and close games to make this a successful and fun event. Naturally, the tournament was not without controversy. The final word on the "Flying Monkey" obligatory move rule:
There was no obligatory move rule in this tournament, meaning that players were not obligated to peg points on the Mantle if they were seeking the 54-point "Flying Monkey" high score (Chipping-In with no peg on the Mantle).
Going for the "Flying Monkey" and skipping points that you were entitled to take on the Mantle was a huge risk, effectively leaving you with only one way to win the game, and the punishment for that risk came every time your opponent won and left you with a score of zero, better known as the "Le Pew."

6 Player Tournament Set-Up
The official Cock & Bull tournament above required six players. Each player played a total of five games, one game verses each of the other five players. At the end of the tournament, the player with the most game wins was the champion. The total point score for each player was tallied as well. Wherever there was a tie in the number of game wins, the highest point score was then used as a tie-breaker.
Three game boards were used in the tournament, that way all players could play simultaneously. This also reduced the duration of the tournament down to about the length of five games.
Teams in Tournaments
If desired, two player teams or couples can be used instead of individual players. The tournament works the exact same way, however the players on each team will share a single score with their partner. The tournament above had two teams in place of two individual players.
Awards
Prizes can be given for first, second, and third place.
Below are some achievements worthy of an award for bragging rights:
Chipping in with no peg on the Mantle (54 points)
Chipping in with 35 points on the Mantle (53 points)
Pegging out with 16 points on the Arms (52 points)
Highest total point score for five games.
Winning all five games played.
