Today’s Window
09:00 photo drops • 14:00 closes • you can email more than once • last email before 14:00 counts.
How to Win This Week
- Don’t overthink the first hour: get a solid guess in early for the speed bonus, then refine.
- Angle Match is free points: one quick modern photo from your guessed spot can swing the table.
- Written ID matters: name the place/feature/area so your entry looks confident and checkable.
The Window of Play (Today)
At the stroke of 09:00 the photograph is unveiled. The shutters fall at 14:00. You may send more than one missive by email, but mark this well: only your last email received before 14:00 shall be counted.
How to Win This Week (A Brief Word from the Master of Ceremonies)
- Strike early, then sharpen: secure your speed bonus with a prompt first guess, then refine your position before the shutters fall.
- Bring proof of your boots: an Angle Match photo is a tidy advantage — one quick view from your chosen spot can turn the table.
- Name the place like you mean it: a written ID (street, feature, area) lends weight to your entry and makes it plainly checkable.
