Just like Winter CBB has a unwanted and not needed summer series, I thought Christmas Countdown might do the same this year. Much like Christmas, the BB final is one of the most important events in TiBB's calendar, so let's countdown in style. The game will start early July, with the final being just before the BB Final in mid-late July.

If you aren't familiar with Christmas Countdown that his been running the last two years, it's a game of two teams, 'Santa' and 'Rudolph' who take part in daily, short, fun and sometimes twisted games to win points. There is always a twist... I'll post the threads in last year so you can look right now.

Without further ado, I can announce that the teams this year are called..



Team Eatock

Team Timebomb

To apply, please send a PM literally just stating your interest! It's that easy :)

Wow, I already have some applications! Please, keep them coming in! I have lots planned for this years version 1.0, including a 'nice' Camp TiBB?! (last year we had the controversial Camp TiBB: Frozen which ended in Day 16, FIGHT NIGHT!), little hints of evil :dazzler:, and a gobsmacker of a day one twist!

Oh, and this year the teams will be set in stone.:cheer2::hehe:
