Random 15 Championship 2022/23: Round 1
Posted: 26 Aug 2022, 22:18
We are back for the new 2022/23 season.
If you are new to all this:
Welcome to the 2022/23 Random 15 Championship. I am your host (commonly known to regulars as the BERC when I am hosting Random 15 challenges). The Random 15 challenge is just that, visit 15 randomly selected stations that feature on the Tube Map (usually within zones 1-2 and using the Underground network only). There will be certain rounds within the championship that are a variation of this such as adding an extra zone or network e.g. DLR onto the challenge. So are you ready to take on the Random 15 championship?
The rules and scoring are unchanged from previous seasons but if anyone is not familiar with them, or needs a refresh, you can view them here:http://www.explorerticket.co.uk/tubecha ... 5rules.htm
We start the new season with the Champion's Twist.
When: Saturday 17th September 12:30 UK local time
Variant: 15 LU stations in zones 1-3, however the start/meet up isn't one of the 15 stations... as we will be starting from the summit of Primrose Hill!
Time limit: As zone 3 is involved, 6 hours.
We are also trying out a new venue for the after challenge social which will be The Sheaf located underneath the Hop Exchange on Southwark Street, just a short walk from London Bridge Station.
Closures affecting the challenge (correct at time of posting):
--Jubilee: No service Stanmore - West Hampstead.
--Metropolitan: No service Harrow-on-the-Hill - Aldgate.
Other closures to be aware of:
--DLR: No service Poplar - Beckton.
--Overground (North London line): No service Gospel Oak - Richmond/Shepherd's Bush.
--Thameslink: No service Luton - West Hampstead
Therefore Kilburn, Willesden Green, Dollis Hill and Neasden will be excluded from the draw.
As it is a new season, the leaderboard is wiped clean and everyone starts on zero.
Who am I expecting?
