Conquer Club

our game is done.

Ok, we have almost finished all the first round games. scipioafricanus it's your job now to make up 4 3-team games for the 6 players in each group who did not win the first game.

Cheers, JB

Okay Round 2 is in place and invites have been sent.

Congrats to the winners of Round 1. You have a by this round so rest up and get ready for Round 3!

Can you add a table so I know where the heck I am in the competition?

Agreed. Our team won our first game (4 teams), and now we're playing again (2 teams). Seems to me (using Game Finder to view all the games) that the last game of Stage 1 was skipped. Something is either screwy with the games or not explained correctly.

MGB

same here, just realized that I don't understand why I'm in a 4p dubs game after winning the first. What's going on with this tourney?

Jake

I'm a little confused too but if Scip knows what he's doing then I suggest we let him do it.

What is going on here? I got a message I've been banned here? why? for what?

and let me repeat, huh??

I'm not trying to say he shouldn't. I'd just like a brief synopsis of what the heck he is doing. lol

Frito Bandito,

I went to set up round 3 and it told me you couldn't be invited because you were banned. If that's not correct then I'll fix it, you'll play and I'll apologize profusely.

As for structure, if you won the first game you got an automatic pass into round 3. Those who lost the first game fought each other to get into round 3. The winners of round 3 games will face each other in the final game.

There's been a bit of a delay on my end that isn't anyone's fault and I won't go into but I'm back in play and will get everything moving more quickly from now on.

Hope that answers the questions.

EDIT
Looks like I'm apologizing profusely to Frito Bandito. I have no idea why it said you were banned. Maybe I typed your username in wrong or something. I'm very sorry and invites have been sent.

In an unrelated subject to Frito - I will be reserve if you still need any in the future

We have our first team in the final game: Team 5 dhfloyd and Cubs24
Congratulations!

You will receive your invite to the final round as soon as all game 3 games have been completed.

Well, I'm lost but ok Scip.

It appears that he changed the rules on the tourney.

According to the rules, it started with a quad game (which was played), with the result being W1/L1/L2/L3. Next would be L1/L2/L3 in a trips game with the result WL1/LL2/LL3. Now LL2/LL3 (the teams that lost both the quads and trips games) would play each other. The winner of that game (WLL1) would go against W1 and WL1, while the loser (LLL1) would go home. So W1/WL1/WLL1 would play a trips. The losers of that game would play each other, with the winner going against the winner of the second trips game.

However, he actually did the games with the winner of the 8 man playing the winner of the 6 man. Instead of there being many ways to continue in the tournament, in the first round it's lose twice (or win the first then lose the second) and you are out. I am disappointed by this change in rules, as it was not communicated to the players.

Uhhg, cry me a river.

Nah am only kidding. I must confess I was not aware of changes and am still a little confused.

However, he is the TO and he can do as he sees fit. Please also remember that it's his first tourney.

Cheers, JB

It's cool. You seem to know what you are doing. For your first tourney, you've done alright.

If you organise any more I'd reccommend going for a straightforward knockout or something like that.

Cheers, JB

Not upset, just confused. Not a big deal.

I think so.

Congrats to dhfloyd and Cubs24 for winning!

Congrats, guys.

MGB

Congrats to the winners but also congrats to scip for organising his first tournament! Hope you had fun buddy!

After a grueling battle we have our champs!

we paired high ranking players with lower ranking players so that they could learn from one another and we ended up with a massive battle for dominance. Good job dhfloyd and cubs24!
