Sissy wins first ever TripleAthlon

Tournaments News

The unstoppable “Queen” Sissy extended her winning streak in 3T games to nine in Game at Monday Night MÄDNess, thus collecting the two points she needed to win the first ever XMädn TripleAthlon.

Harry was keen to win the game to get in a position in which he would need only one point from Game 8 under GP rules to reach the points target (PT7).

Harry’s start into the game was promising as he saved two of his violet pawns, the second one after miraculously surviving severe pressure from numerous opposing pawns.

However, in his efforts to move his violet pawns, he failed to endorse his froggy daughter, Nici, who had a miserable evening and never got to save one single pawn throughout the game.

XMädn adds “TripleAthlon”, discusses changes for 2025

General News

At a press conference, the XMädn Board announced the addition of a new triple-threat all-around tournament at short notice due to the current situation.

Also, a variety of changes coming into effect for the 2025 Season was discussed, including an XLeague expansion.

TripleAthlon introduced

As the World Championship ended much earlier than expected and the XLeague will not resume until December 14, an all-around tournament will be introduced to bridge the gap. It is scheduled to start this coming weekend and will feature games following the three most common sets of rules: 3T, GP and 3T+.

The “TripleAthlon” will be a non-recurring event with no ranking points at stake and a points target of 7 as playing distance.

Sissy is World Champion again!

Majors News

Sissy is the winner of the 2024 World Championship. On Thursday evening, she converted her fifth championship point to win Game 16 the series 10-3-3.

It was a rather unspectacular game compared to the two games played last weekend for which Harry has to take the blame.

With his wife requiring only one more win and holding a big overall lead, Harry seemed to have lost faith in staging a miraculous comeback.

Instead of joining forces with Nici, he seemed to focus on not falling behind his froggy daughter in order to at least defend second place in the Medal Race.

Accordingly, Nici had a hard time moving her pawns around the track and Sissy got her black pawns home.

Sissy completes Holiday Triple

Tournaments News

“Queen” Sissy won her sixth triple-threat title of the season and her eleventh overall as she completed her “Holiday Triple” in a dramatic Holiday Championship decider.

Earlier this season, Sissy had already won the Holiday Masters and the GP Holiday Series.

Also, Sissy has prematurely clinched her second straight “Medal” as Player Of The Year.

Sissy needed no fewer than 21 championship points to finally clinch the title on a motionless “6” followed by a “1” for her fourth yellow pawn after 1:54 hours of play on Sunday back in Hanover.

Nici is 2024 Summer Champion

Tournaments News

Nici defended her Summer Championship title on Monday Night MÄDNess while setting a new XMädn record.

Following her win on Saturday, Nici converted her fifth championship point at the end of her first potential winner lap in Game 4 to clinch her first triple-threat title in 12 months.

With savvy tactical play and a friendly die, Nici dominated the board. Her winner lap started when her fourth green pawn had already been five sixths around the track.

A “2” won Nici the game after only 56 minutes of play, thus shattering the XMädn record for the quickest Championship game by a quarter of an hour.

Despite losing the tournament after five consecutive triple-threat title wins, Sissy profiteered from Nici’s win as she is only one single-game win away from successfully defending the “Medal” as Player Of The Year.
