    Ask CSF maybe? He loves a good discussion and I reckon he could fight his corner well.

    Up to you really, usually the faster the better as your opponent could easily have the same idea as you and post first and you could be left with an inferior alternative answer. 1 o clock could/should be fine but you do run the risk of your opponent beating you to the punch. On the flip side you can try hold off and watch your opponent post first and improve your answer based on what hes wrote. A match can usually last 1/2 days...

    Have a look through older ATH matches for a quick look at how matches went down.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,448 ✭✭✭Garseys


    Man, my laptop crashed just as I posted. Phew!


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 42,487 Mod ✭✭✭✭Lord TSC


    Read brackets wrong and thought I was up first :P


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,417 ✭✭✭WinnyThePoo


    Looks as if I wont be able to post till 7pm. A lot of work hit my desk this morning in work. I'm fleshing out the story during the day. Great post by Garsey.

    Well the first answer is up and the bar set for Winnie later on to reply!

    Ill add the second match up question in the next hour or so and I probably wont run more than 2 ATH match up threads at once, So Shag and Lordie, be prepared....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,753 ✭✭✭✭beakerjoe


    My WWE network Shows for those who care....

    Arm Wrestling with Chaz and Dave (Warrington and Finley)

    Youth Hosteling with Chris Jericho

    Cooking in Prison (with Nailz)

    Inner City Sumo (with Yoko)

    Ill stop now


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 42,487 Mod ✭✭✭✭Lord TSC


    Have two ideas. Deciding which to go with; the crazy fun or the serious but strong answer :P

    Love the question though. :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,753 ✭✭✭✭beakerjoe


    Great second match up, could go either way with 2 ATH vets.

    A poll will be added as after Lord TSC replies (Ill always try add a poll up after both men have replied to each others answer). Poll will stay up for 2 days. Dont forget to vote for yourselves as that could be the difference in winning or losing


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 42,487 Mod ✭✭✭✭Lord TSC


    Might be this evening before I get my response up. There's no strict time limit, is there? Just have a busy busy day....

    Wouldnt think there should be a strict time limit, fairly flexable since we all have lives, esp when we know your posting and gathering ideas for your rebuttal.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,417 ✭✭✭WinnyThePoo


    got my post up lads.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,753 ✭✭✭✭beakerjoe


    With both of the first matches in full swing, match 3 shall be up in the coming hours between Caster and defending champion Omackeral.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,753 ✭✭✭✭beakerjoe


    Match 3 is up folks!

    Awesome question for this round!


  • Registered Users Posts: 129 ✭✭Sin Eater


    Just voted in the first question. Two very good answers.

    How long does the poll remain before the results are released?


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 22,823 Mod ✭✭✭✭Bounty Hunter


    few really good ones so far and im sure some head scratchers for those involved. I've got a few ideas for a little later so hopefully Beaker doesent have to use up all his good ideas in the early rounds


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,753 ✭✭✭✭beakerjoe


    Poll will remain open for 48 hours after its up, I personally always wait till all the replies are up before voting as a poster could pull a rabbit out of the hat in his last reply which has happened a few times in the past.

    Shag came up with the last question, great stuff out of him. Have about 20 or so questions written out (some old, some new)


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,448 ✭✭✭Garseys


    Shagnastii and TSC

    In regards to both your shows on the network...

    Hadn't realised that there was a reply left (tbh) but no harm ... hopefully ...
