I guess it is about time we picked the start station for round 1?

Re: Random 15 Championship 2011/12
I've just had an idea for a possible twist for one of the future rounds!
Put simply, none of the stations that are closed are excluded from the randomiser, and any that come up in the 15 must be visited by means other than tube. Proof could be provided by a quick photo outside the station entrance.
I call it the "Engineering Work? Pah!" round.

Re: Random 15 Championship 2011/12
As discussed yesterday I think we should introduce a 4 hour time limit on the R15 challenge.
It is rare for the challenge to be over 4 hours but in the event of a "bastard" set of stations coming out it could become quite tactical on trying to visit as many stations as possible within the 4 hour window. The main benefit of this ruling in that anyone travelling some distance into London knows that they can complete the challenge by 16:30 and have time for the meet afterwards and to have time to catch a decent train home.

Re: Random 15 Championship 2011/12
Will the upcoming round on 17th September be a standard or a twist round?

Re: Random 15 Championship 2011/12
Judging by the poll we did back in April for R5, I think the twist for the next round should either be the "two lists", or including Zone 3.

Re: Random 15 Championship 2011/12
what about the Z2/3 challenge excluding Z1? The only station in Z1 is the first one we start from, thereafter you have to leave Z1 and cannot re-enter Z1 until the challenge is complete. Also include the 4 hour limit and if a bastard set of stations come out you attempt to visit as many as possible within the 4 hour window.
