Re: [Official] Very Modern Pentathlon [Day 7]
What a finish to the Shooting event!
It looked like it was going to be neck and neck between Afghanistan and Iran, but a moment of last-minute madness, not magic, decided the ending, as Afghan shooter neanderpaul14 took out the wrong player in Game 2 of the 5-game series to hand the title to his Iranian counterpart, TheCrown, who takes home 3 well-deserved months of premium after a truly convincing run.
Well done by all, and congratulations to TheCrown!

Re: [Official] Very Modern Pentathlon [Day 7]
There are 19 Show Jumping games still to play, but the results of the finished games have been tallied, and we can declare our winners:
rh-headhunter and TX AG 90 of Team Trinidad & Tobago, who won an incredible 21 of 24 Show Jumping games and were assessed only 1 time fault over the entire duration of the event, picking up, all told, only 13 faults out of a possible 96.
Congratulations to both of you on a job well done!

Re: [Official] Very Modern Pentathlon [Day 7]
And i give burundi good chances for the overall title! We were number 1 before day 7, and we won all our games (6 in SS 3 in SJ). I think SJ will make us win a few fresh points as we were ranked 14th and there were like 6 teams in front of us with 1 foul difference.
Given that serbia and nepal lost a few games already, is there any chance for them yet?

given that it all depends on other people's results we'll see, nepal was our biggest threat and I guess they could still beat us. 67 games still active!
Re: [Official] Very Modern Pentathlon [Day 7]
down to 50 active games and really looking good for us!
Re: [Official] Very Modern Pentathlon [Day 7]
22 active games left. given nepal and serbia's results vs ours, there is no way they can catch us, I think it's pretty official that we won!

Re: [Official] Very Modern Pentathlon [Day 7]
Per the policy that was agreed to by the Entertainment Team and the Tournament Directors:
Official Tournament winners DO NOT receive Tournament Achievement medals.
They receive General Achievement medals instead.
This is because Official Tournaments are not overseen by the TDs and are not held to the same rules as regular tournaments.

Re: [Official] Very Modern Pentathlon [Day 7]
All Day 7 Show Jumping Games are now finished, and scores have been finalized.
I will update the event and overall standings as soon as I can.
Only 9 Synchronized Swimming games are still active, as is Game 3 of the final Cross-Country Relay. That Relay will go at least 5 games, but no more than 7.

sempai, how do you award standing points when different teams are tied in event points?

Re: [Official] Very Modern Pentathlon [Day 7]
I find ways to break the tie. The tiebreakers I use are different for each event, but you can see which ones were used on the spreadsheet in the column to the right of the "Standings Points" column on each event's results page.betiko wrote:sempai, how do you award standing points when different teams are tied in event points?
Fencing Tiebreakers
For Fencing, the first tiebreaker I used was the number of wins each team had earned in the most recent round in which it had played. More wins = more standings points.
The next tiebreaker I used (for bracket rounds only) was the number of games a series had gone. You get more Standings Points if you won a best-of-3 in 2 games than in 3, because winning in 3 games meant you had lost 1, while winning in 2 games meant your opponent had not been able to beat you. By the same token, losing a best-of-3 in 3 games gives you more Standings Points than losing in 2 games, because losing in 3 games means you won 1 game, while losing in 2 means you didn't win any.
For the next tiebreaker, I added together the round numbers of a team's wins in the most recent bracket round or group stage. For example, if you won 1 game in Round 8 and another in Round 10, you won 2 games in 18 rounds. Win in less rounds, earn more Standings Points - the less rounds it takes you to win, the easier the win was for you, and the better you look.
Then, I did the same thing with each team's losses. Lose in more rounds, earn more Standings Points - the more rounds it takes you to lose, the harder you are to beat, and the better you look.
Finally, I took the round number of the game each team won quickest in that stage (less rounds = more Standings Points) and if that didn't break the tie, the game that took each team the longest to lose (more rounds = more Standings Points).

You get more Standings Points if you won a best-of-3 in 2 games than in 3, because winning in 3 games meant you had lost 1, while winning in 2 games meant your opponent had not been able to beat you.

Shooting Tiebreakers
The first tiebreaker I used is the number of Round Points earned in the most recent round the team had played in.
Then, I took the number of Round Points earned in the round before that, and before that, and so on, back to Round 1, if necessary.
Next, the number of games each team won, lost or threw in that round ("throwing a game" here means killing someone else's target) - wins give the most standings points and throwing a game moves you to the bottom of the pile ("the pile" comprising only the tied teams).
Then, I took the number of rounds it had taken each team to win the game(s) it had won (less rounds, more Standings Points) and to lose the games it had lost (more rounds, more Standings Points).
Finally, I took the round number of the game each team won quickest in that stage (less rounds = more Standings Points) and if that didn't break the tie, the game that took each team the longest to lose (more rounds = more Standings Points).

Show Jumping Tiebreakers
To break Show Jumping ties, I compare the number of faults each team earned on the most recent completed day (less faults = more Standings Points). If teams are still tied, I compare the number of faults earned the day before that, and the day before that, all the way back to Day 1, if necessary.
Synchronized Swimming Tiebreakers
To break Synchronized Swimming ties, I compare the number of Event Points each team earned on the most recent completed day (more Event Points = more Standings Points). If teams are still tied, I compare the number of Event Points earned the day before that, and the day before that, all the way back to Day 1, if necessary.
Cross-Country Relay Tiebreakers
For the Cross-Country Relay, the first tiebreaker I used was the number of relays each team had won in the most recent round in which it had played. More wins = more standings points.
The next tiebreaker was the number of games a relay had gone. You get more Standings Points if you won a best-of-7 in 4 games than in 7, because winning in 7 games meant you had lost 3, while winning in 4 games ("sweeping") meant your opponent had not been able to beat you. By the same token, losing a best-of-7 in 7 games gives you more Standings Points than losing in 4 games, because losing in 7 games means you won 3 games, while losing in 4 ("being swept") means you didn't win any. (For Group Stages in which each tied team had won or lost both of its relays, I took the sum of the number of games of the two relays and compared those numbers).
For Group Stages, I then looked at the number of games needed for the relay which took each team the shortest to win or the longest to lose.
For Bracket Rounds, I added up the number of rounds of the relay games each team had won, then of the games they had lost.
If teams were still tied after that, Standings Points were divided evenly between them.

Overall Tiebreakers
If teams are tied in the overall standings, I compare their places in the standings of each individual event. If 2 teams are tied, the team with more standings points in at least 3 of the 5 events is placed higher. (example: TOG & JAM: TOG ranked higher in Fencing, Show Jumping, and Cross-Country Relay).
If more than 2 teams are tied, the team who has the highest rank of the tied teams in the most individual events is moved to the top, and the team who has the highest rank of the tied teams in the fewest individual events is moved to the bottom. Teams still tied are then compared by the 2-team tiebreaker, as above. (Example: CHA, EGY, & IRI after Day 5 (if my memory serves me right). CHA was ranked highest of the 3 in 3 events, the other 2 in 1 event each. CHA was given the highest place of the three, and EGY and IRI were placed by the 2-team tiebreaker.
If more than 2 teams are tied, the team who has the highest rank of the tied teams in the most individual events is moved to the top, and the team who has the highest rank of the tied teams in the fewest individual events is moved to the bottom.

Re: [Official] Very Modern Pentathlon [Day 7]
Show Jumping standings have been finalized, and Team Trinidad and Tobago has officially won the event.
However, Team Burundi's excellent performance and Team Nepal's somewhat lackluster one have given the former an incredible 18-point lead atop the overall standings, and with Burundi having scored (by my unofficial count) 50 Synchronized Swimming Event Points from a possible 54, that gap will be, at best, very difficult for Team Nepal to close.
With only 5 doubles games still active, the overall outcome should be much clearer soon.

Re: [Official] Very Modern Pentathlon [Day 7]
yes nepal didn't do very well on day 7 in synchronized swimming and they would need to climb up to the 4th/5th place in that event, which is impossible, and even with max points they wouldn't have managed it either, so looks like we won! really thought it was over for us at the end of day 6 when nepal kicked us out of the cross country relay, but given the point structure it didn't matter that much.
Thanks for hosting this huge tournament sempai!

Re: [Official] Very Modern Pentathlon [Day 7]
Overall standings have been updated - at the conclusion of Day 7 action in all events except the Cross-Country Relay, Team Burundi is perched very comfortably atop the overall standings, 26 points ahead of second-place Nepal.
The only way the Overall Standings can change at all from this point forward is if Nepal wins the Cross-Country Relay Final, in which case they would take 1 Standings Point from Cambodia, trimming Burundi's lead to 25 points.
The overall title is thus unofficially decided.
CONGRATULATIONS TO TEAM BURUNDI FOR WINNING THE [OFFICIAL] VERY MODERN PENTATHLON!!!
Thank you all for your participation in this tournament. I sincerely hope you enjoyed it, but if you didn't, you can at least be thankful that it's over - well, except for the Cross-Country Relay.

Yay, although i have to say i had serbia and nepal s games in my watched games, so i knew they did pretty bad and with our perfect day 7 (9/9 wins) there was no way anyone could catch us
I guess you ll wait for the cross country to finish to issue the prizes?
