 Advent Calendar Challenge 

Hello and welcome to the 2016 Advent Calendar Challenge!

The Advent Calendar Challenge is a fun yearly competition, and once again in 2016 players were invited to guess what the pictures behind the windows on my advent calendar were each day. Points were awarded (from 1 point on December 1st all the way up to 24 on Christmas Eve) for correctly guessing the picture, and the winner was simply the person who got the most points over the course of the competition.

And to end off this mammoth page, a few subnotes. Have a look at the all-time stats page. Not many stats mind you, just a constantly updating all-time performance table. Clicking a player name in either the current standings or the stats table gives you a player profile page, showing their past performances in the ACC and a little picture just cos. And finally the rules in full. Subject to change of course...
