Life Ain't Fair: Totally Random [Round 3]

[D-Rock42]

With only one game (Game 12638399) left, the picture of who's moving on to the second round is becoming clearer. Eight players (allinpoker1980, mr_chopper, Dillybarr, EagleofGreenErth, iAmCaffeine, Puddleglum, azak848, and myself) have clinched second round berths. Seven players (Sempaispellcheck, P4Ssoa, overlander, Gilligan, Gundula, thelord, & Theldin) have been eliminated - thanks for playing. Six of the remaining ten players are participating in the final game of the round, and thus control their own destinies.

Updated standings are available in the second post of this thread

Judging by the territory count, the last game of Round 1 (Game 12638399) should be wrapping up shortly. It's highly likely there will be a tiebreaker game following that game.

Additionally, an apology- it seems I had made an error when copying potential scores (I was looking at the wrong column, if it matters). The error seems only to have affected that final game. I've double checked the other scores, and everything else seems correct. The standings and potential scores in the 2nd post are correct as they stand.

[D-Rock42]

The first round is nearly complete. The last regular match of the round finished yesterday, but a 3-way tie among Ceetar, Osman76, & nicestash for the last spot in Round 2 needs to be adjudicated. Invitations have already been sent out for a single game (Game 12852470) to break the tie. Winner moves on to the second round, the others do not.

Excellent! Thank you!

[D-Rock42]

Round 1 is now complete! osman76 won the tiebreaker and joins the 2nd round.

I'll be sending out invitations for Round 2 soon, likely with in the next 12 hours.

[D-Rock42]

So my 12 hour estimate was a little off, but Round 2 invitations have been sent out. I probably won't have the scoreboard for Round 2 up this weekend, but should have it by the end of Monday (CC Time).

Don't forget to pay attention to the settings!

[iAmCaffeine]

Just to clarify something; say I scored 20 out of a possible 24.5, and you scored 15.75 which is your maximum, you would finish above me right?

No. The scores are absolutes. Which sucks for me.

This is "Life Ain't Fair" part of the tournament.

Okay, that's weird.

After a week of Round 2, these are the standings:

Two players have already clinched spots in the final round, but everyone is still alive. If you're in a game, and win it, you'll likely move on to the next round.

Here are the 3 remaining Round 2 games:
Game 12897109
Game 12897125
Game 12897133

First game, link is broken?

First game, link is broken?

It was. I've corrected it. That game is done now, though.

Congratulations to everyone who made the final round!

I should have invites out for the Final Round by the end of the (Conquer Club) day.

[D-Rock42]

Round 3 invitations out.

[D-Rock42]

The Final Round! Congratulations to all those who have made it thus far. There is only one winner after this round, the player with the most points. Here are the standings

Player - Points, Max points possible
jontheman - 0, 27.75
osman76 - 0, 27.75
Puddleglum - 0, 27.75
allinpoker1980 - 0, 27.25
waauw - 0, 26.75
ufgolfpa - 0, 26.25
iAmCaffeine - 0, 26.25

There is only one game that features all the players in this round, a 7 player terminator affair. This is most likely the most important game, because it represents 37% - 39% of all your potential points for this round. If you win this game and are the one to knock out all the other players, you'll get 10.25 points. It would be difficult (but not impossible) for anyone to catch you if manage this feat.

Good luck to you all.

[iAmCaffeine]

Looking forward to this, bring it on. Thanks D-Rock as well, been a very interesting tournament.

jontheman - 0, 27.75
osman76 - 0, 23.75
waauw - 0, 22.75

Only 2 games completed so far, and no eliminations yet in the 7 player terminator game. Still anyone's tournament.

[iAmCaffeine]

Things aren't looking great for me.. Not ideal when people go MiA.

[D-Rock42]

Current Final Round Standings
Player - Points, Max points possible
Puddleglum - 13.75, 24
ufgolfpa - 12, 22.25

allinpoker1980 - 8.75, 19
osman76 - 6.75, 17
iAmCaffeine - 4, 14.25
waauw - 1.5, 1.5

While it's still technically anyone's game, it's clear iAmCaffeine got hosed by being paired with waauw in 2 doubles games & his sporadic splaying.

The only game remaining is Game 13032965.

[iAmCaffeine]

Don't forget the fact he had a terrible sitter too. Yay!
