Round 2
Players who advance from Round 1 will be divided based on their Cartographer's role in the Foundry.
Divisions will be as follows:

Foremen: AndyDufresne, MrBenn
Graphics: thenobodies80, RedBaron0
Gameplay: Evil DIMwit, iancanton
Melting Pot: Industrial Helix, TaCktiX

All the players from a given division will play in the same games together. A total of 8 games will be played using the same settingfrom Round 1 (each division will have four players, who will play four games on each of their corresponding maps). The same scoring methods will be used as in Round 1. The top finisher from each division will advance to the finals.

[AndyDufresne]

Didn't realize I was so close. Best of luck to all you folks still playing.

[Evil DIMwit]

Well fought by everybody in my group. We really gave each other hell.

Out of curiosity, in the case that someone wins by objective and multiple other players finish the game alive, how are the rankings for that game decided?

Has that happened?

I've been going off the elimination order as shown in the tourney stats script... I'm not too sure how this handles objective wins, but am guessing that it'll process eliminations in gameplay order?

[Evil DIMwit]

Yes, that's happened a couple of times in my division. It may be worth ruling on a ranking method and taking a look at the closed games before proceeding with the tournament.

[MrBenn]

I'll look through those games again; in those cases where a game is won by holding an objective, then I'll revise the scores so that everybody still alive at the end gets the same amount of points (with an extra 2 for the actual winner of the game). This would seem to make the most sense to me. Is yours the only map in the tournament list that you can win via an objective?

[Evil DIMwit]

I believe so.

[MrBenn]

I've updated the scores for the games which were won via the objective... 1st and 2nd place remain unchanged, although there has been some changes in the rest of the finishing order:

Evil DIMwit Group
1st (31pts) - Evil DIMwit
2nd (30pts) - army of nobunaga
3rd (28pts) - Metricsystemlove
4th (27pts) - Darin44
5th (26pts) - Stretch20
6th (20pts) - phillipm

[MrBenn]

The games for Round 2 have been sent out... Happy Fighting!

[MrBenn]

I've been informed that army of nobunga has withdrawn, so Metricsystemlove will take his place in the next round.

[MrBenn]

Round 2 games are still underway.... I'll keep my eye on them and will post results once they're finished...

[Johnny Rico]

My group just finished all of our Round 2 games. I was in the Melting Pot. I'm curious how close the rest of the groups are to finishing.

[MrBenn]

Sorry for the slow response... there's one game still going; although it looks like the people in it have started a build game... Three players from the group could still go through, so I'll work out the standings for the rest of the groups and will probably let three go through from that group (it will be quicker than a tie-break, as technically a tie-break isn't needed as there isn't currently a tie.)

[MrBenn]

The build game appears to have finally finished... I'm going to wait until after Christmas now before sending out the next batch of games.

[Metricsystemlove]

Hahahaha that's both rounds now that I have squeaked by on technicalities.
Good luck in the finals!
