1v1 Nothings Ever Easy (underway)

[WILLIAMS5232]

i updated, the scores and brackets. guess these spoiler tabs arent' gonna be fixed anytime soon. i'll give it a few more days and if nothing changes i'll go through and remove them, and post each bracket individually so it's more clear

[WILLIAMS5232]

ok, i made some more games, and posted updated brackets, and scoreboard.

the spoiler tabs have been fixed, so everything is nice and tidy again.

Would love to see min/max columns if you do another one in this format!

this has been a really friendly tournament to run, so i will do another, maybe a poly one too.

but what do you mean "min/max column"? just a column that shows the highest leg of a bracket a player made it to? or can you explain a little better what you mean?

[Riskmaster101]

I’m thinking like at this point, I have an implied minimum score (based on where I am in each bracket). It’s like you start with a minimum of each bracket *-1 and a maximum of each bracket *+4 … does that make sense? As you go, that narrows. If you win a game, your minimum would increase and if you lose your maximum would decrease.

ok, i see what you mean. that should be simple enough. (i think) i'll post it with the next score update. i don't think i can make a spreadsheet formula for it tho. but what i could do is start it once all the round 1 games are finished. that will cut the amount of games i have to pour over down. but i'll see how it goes it may not be too bad with the round 1's also.

[Riskmaster101]

Just a thought! It’s kind of hard to stare at and see people with 0 or +1 and no active brackets when you can be at -1 or -2 with guaranteed 4-8 points coming depending on finals.

yeah, it's a good point. i went ahead and did it. it's not too bad of a chore, but i think i will wait til all round 1 games are complete for the next one. that's like double the games i'd have to tabulate each update, and being so early it kind of wouldn't tell a whole lot at that point anyway. all round one are complete in this one.

i also sorted by lowest possible guaranteed score too. which seems like it makes more sense.

[Riskmaster101]

Thanks! It looks great!

Fun format! Looking forward to the final shootout (:

yes sir, i'll surely do another after new years. thankfully you've locked in the top spot. i didn't clarify about tie break situations in the OP.

so what i'll do, is all the players that are tied for 2nd, will get to pick a map, and there will be a little round robin between them. from then on any ties needed will be a sudden death classic game. hopefully, 2nd place is uncontested. but it's going to be tight.

i'll have a better plan in the next one for a tiebreak situation.

[WILLIAMS5232]

congrats to noleafclover, the 13 colonies champion

feudal war still has a semi final in progress,

arms race final game created invites sent.

there's still a few players fighting for 2nd spot for the shootout against riskmaster

[WILLIAMS5232]

scores updated, feudal war final invite sent.

it's getting down to the nitty gritty. it will be Esquire, or b00060 to face riskmaster in the shootout, depending on the outcome of the arms race game. Game 24267412

[WILLIAMS5232]

congrats to KAIRO220 for taking the feudal championship.

it's pretty close to being ready for the shootout. and it appears that it will be b00060 challenging riskmaster101.

riskmaster has a 7-4 lead as it sits. how it will playout is they will play all 7 maps and each win will add one point. so if riskmaster wins 3 it's over. if b00060 can win 5, they will play a single classic for a tiebreaker. if b00060 wins 6, he steals the win. it's a hard task, but not impossible with CC dice

we just have the 1 arms race game still in play, and it looks decided, but it needs to finish to make it official.

[WILLIAMS5232]

ok, all bracket games complete. congrats to jim1086 the arms race champ.

riskmaster, and b00060 will continue on to determine the final champion.
