Kot and Lax's War!

As of next round, we will no longer be using random.org to determine who you play, but rather, who is closest to your rank at the creation of the games.

Also, you cannot play the same person twice in a row; therefore, when it looks like this rule will be violated, we will move to the 2nd closest, and then after that, the closest can be used again.

if u still need a reserve cheers adam

Why change the rules/set-up in the middle of the tournament? Doesn't make sense.

Match 1: All players will randomly play a random opponent each set of 5 maps. At the end of Batch 27, the highest wins of 16 players move onto Round 2. Ties will be dealt with by total # of Rounds in Batch 27; ie, whoever won their last 5 games quickest will move on.

[Kotaro]

I was losing a lot of players, and 2 people said they refused to join any games with Colton24, so I considered it. However, I changed my mind; I don't like them anyways.

I am, however, making a new policy idea, which will be PM'd to everyone soon, maybe tomorrow. It has to do with winning all 5 games, and being able to choose your opponent. And, unless I receive a giant amount of opposition, it may happen.

Lets move on to the next batch, shall we?

This one should be interesting.

Circus Maximus
City Mogul
Conquer 4
Conquer Man

...You shouldn't be allowed to refuse to join games in a tournament.

Also, I dread Conquer Man...it's so huge

[Kotaro]

Yeah, it lags my shit too.

Games going out in the half an hour. 80 games and PM's to make.. gimme a bit

[Kotaro]

Anyway to see a scoreboard? Starting to get curious how people are doing!

I'm going to use Tournament Stats, made by chipv, to make a scoreboard tomorrow.

All games for Batch 7 are out.

Batch 7:
sherkaner replaces caymanmew

There is now a new spoilers tab on the first post, entitled: "Current Standings"

...You shouldn't be allowed to refuse to join games in a tournament.

I fully agree. By joining a tournament you are stating that you will play all games, not just some. Refusal to join should mean that you forfeit all 5 games for that batch.

[AndrewB]

SHOULD BE IN ONGOING!

Instead of giving people lots of forfeit wins, I've been replacing them. I've been constantly looking for reserves, and as such, have been able to replace many players that haven't shown up.

SHOULD BE IN ONGOING!

..Says the guy not in his Batch 7 games.

As for Batch 8:
My internet crashed last Friday. Therefore, come Monday, there will be Batch 8 and 9 coming out; so be ready, the PM's will be coming.

The 10 remaining Batch 7 games will get game invites for those missing. Any still missing monday are replaced.

[Kotaro]

MWAHAHAHAHA

[Kotaro]

Today will be a catchup day. Game invites to still waiting games will go out later today.

Batch 9 will begin on Friday with Batch 10.

[Kotaro]

It appears both Woodruff and alstergren will have to be replaced. Since that is the case, I will call in reserves after the Reserved Spot they have in Batch 7 expires.
