We like your score keeping just fine Dazoot!

[TtD]

I'm just doing mine for in depth analysis Dazoot, and to a bit greater depth as I count all points secured, not just points from finished games, so same as last round i'll be updating every few days with the qualifying chances for my group and a bit of commentary(player x needs y amounts of points to qualify, player a and player b are fighting for spot c but could both qualify if, etc...). Brandon said it was okay and asked me to do a brief rundown every now and then for the other groups if I have time.

Without your stats to start from i'd be struggling to do this, and it's a good error check so keep on doing what your doing.

EDIT:
Scoring process, if no eliminations, all players 1 point, if one eliminated, eliminated player gets 1 point, all others 2, etc... It's assigning them as soon as they're earned, not on elimination, so points are a little higher than will be with your elimination method. Your listing points so far, i'm listing minimum points possible to earn (starting from 1 per game and going up with eliminations).

Is the same stats, just with a different slant to them.

So you have a lot of free time I take it.

In depth update for Kilo Group.

Kilo Group Approx 20% complete, 15 games finished, 31 with 1 elimination or more. 84 games await completion.

1) TtD 89 points (217 minimum) Strong start for myself with 79 live games remaining.

2) Danalan 82 points (207 minimum) Dan has secured some early wins that see him in a strong position, averaging solid scores all around with only five early eliminations in remaining live games. 79 live games remaining.

2) Xiaojie 82 points (203 minimum) Xiao has also started strongly but looks set to drop back a little over the next few days due to early eliminations in active games. 78 live games remaining.

4) General Flashman 80 points (212 minimum) Flashman should jump up over the next few days to 2nd or 3rd with some very strong games nearing completion. 77 live games remaining.

5) Lord Grantius 71 points (196 minimum) A large number of active games remaining seems to suggest Grantius will advance a little in short time. Slow starter but score is unnaturally low while he stays alive. 80 live games remaining.

6) Whitetrash67 69 points (185 minimum) A lot of early outs are inflating total score on what has been a bad start for White, expect him to drop back a little over the next few days pending a late surge. 76 live games remaining.

7) Jug68 65 points (194 minimum) Jug has started to catch up after a rocky start and is due some big point scores in the next few days that will leapfrog Whitetrash. 78 live games remaining.

8) Darin44 56 points (183 minimum) Darin is floating off the back of the pack and struggling to keep up with the pace so far. A big increase in points is needed shortly to reduce the gap. 75 live games remaining.

[General Flashman]

Wow TtD!

What an effort of analysis!

You have more faith in my game than I have!

WOW ... what a relief... I was beginning to worry that I was becoming obsessed with this tourney!

Though TtD, the analysis looks great. The whole "minimum points" thing confused me too when you first posted it, but its a great angle on things .... hopefully we meet in one of the MB tourneys soon..

[TtD]

Positions the same as no Dazoot scores to update but a lot of progress over the last day.


Kilo Group Approx 60% complete, 50 games finished, 26 with 1 elimination or more. 50 games await completion.

1) TtD 89 points (362 minimum) Continuing to push on at the front. Only an average number of wins but limiting the 1 point games is helping. 44 live games remaining

2) Danalan 82 points (337 minimum) Has pushed on well over the last day and has climbed up to a relatively safe position. Continuation at the same pace should ensure qualification. 42 live games remaining

2) Xiaojie 82 points (307 minimum) Xiao had really fallen behind until a surge late last night pulled her up into contention. She remains off the pace but is only 24 points away from the final spot. 45 live games remaining

4) General Flashman 80 points (336 minimum) Flashman has pushed on as expected and now sits solidly in 3rd, almost level with Danalan. 46 live games remaining

5) Lord Grantius 71 points (331 minimum) Grantius has solidified his hold on 4th spot with some consistant scoring and still has a lot of active games comparitively. Those behind will have to start thinking about crippling him if they intend to catch him up as he could pull away. 46 live games remaining

6) Whitetrash67 69 points (323 minimum) Some adventurous gameplay has Whitetrash back in contention and only 8 points off the 4th spot. Expect White to finish strongly based on past rounds. 44 live games remaining

7) Jug68 65 points (322 minimum) Jug continues to be the wildcard of the group, hoovering up wins at a rapid pace but crashing and burning in a lot of the other games. If he can gain some solid results with his wins he'll be in contention, if not at least he'll get a good rank out of this. 44 live games remaining

8) Darin44 56 points (285 minimum) Darin realistically is already out of contention, and simply playing for pride. Out of the most games so far, and with almost 50 points between him and 4th spot it would take some kind of miracle for him to rescue a spot. 40 live games remaining

[TtD]

Really been a busy day in Kilo, could be done by midweek at this rate. Down to waiting for Xiao to take turns, and enjoying the battle for the other placings.



Kilo Group Approx 80% complete, 71 games finished, 14 with 1 elimination or more. 29 games await completion.

1) TtD 131 points (450 minimum) Almost qualified now with a large cushion of 58 points to 5th. 26 live games remaining

2) Jug68 117 points (392 minimum) Big jump up the rankings with Dazoot's last update, is going strong and barely holding onto 4th spot with some solid wins. 24 live games remaining

3) Xiaojie 114 points (347 minimum) False position for Xiao as she's been blown out the back of the pack today with some horrendous results. As good as out of it in reality. 28 live games remaining

4) Whitetrash67 113 points (387 minimum) Holding onto the pack still and within shooting distance at only 5 points off the key 4th spot. 24 live games remaining

5) Danalan 111 points (398 minimum) In 3rd for now but a couple of slip-ups will drag him back into the fistfight for the final few places. 24 live games remaining

6) General Flashman 109 points (410 minimum) 2nd probably now sewn up as long as a collapse is avoided. Strong runner up placings have helped Flashman jump ahead of the pack during this afternoon's play. 27 live games remaining

7) Lord Grantius 103 points (391 minimum) One point off the fourth spot, Grantius remains very much in contention at this stage. 26 live games remaining

8) Darin44 84 points (346 minimum) Has caught up to Xiao with some strong results but is a long way off from 6th. Busy working on his ranking from now on. 24 live games remaining

Bit of spare time this evening and need some mindless stuff to do so stats for Lima.



Group Lima Approx 90% complete, 88 games finished, 9 with 1 elimination or more. 12 games await completion.

1) Vexx 452 points (474 minimum points) Top of the group and comfortably through. 11 live games remaining

2) Brandoncfi 447 points (461 minimum points) Dropping back a little as the game winds down, Brandon should still make it on to the next round. 7 live games remaining

3) Keefie 439 points (464 minimum points) Consistant and comfortably making his way to the next round. 11 live games remaining

4) Golson 431 points (460 minimum points) Looks set to be the last of the qualifiers if upsets are avoided, may beat out Brandon with more games in hand. 9 live games remaining

5) Dazoot 400 points (425 minimum points) Best of the rest but unlikely to make up the 35 point gap in the run in. 10 live games remaining

6) Grunion 395points (424 minimum points) Still trying to get past Dazoot for 5th, quite possible with game in hand. 11 live games remaining

6) Agamemnon69 395 points (421 minimum points) Playing for rank from here on in. 10 live games remaining

8) Drake_pk7 387 points (414 minimum points) Wooden spoon up for grabs and a chance to see things home. 11 live games remaining

[Keefie]

I might have been consistant but jeez has my rank taken a hammering

[TtD]

Don't mention the rank .

Mine has been plummeting all tournament, even though it's going very well.

[TtD]

Short update as not much analysis to throw in now, 16 games left and the points speak for themselves

1) TtD-504
2) General Flashman-457
3) Danalan-444
4) Jug 68-437
5) Lord Grantius-425
6) Whitetrash67-424
7) Xiaojie-405
8 ) Darin44-372

I'm through, Flashman is as good as through, Dan and Jug are sneaking away for the final spots. Dan is at most risk from probably Grantius, who has all games active, and that gives him 5 scoring games to work with more.

[General Flashman]

Well done TtD!

Both for the analysis and your gameplay.

As long as I make it through, it will be good challenging you in the next round!

[Dazoot]

Scores updated as of June 3 @ 0300hrs

Lima group is decided! Congrats to my worthy comrades to bad I will not be continuing to do battle with you...but the score keeping should be a tad more up to date now.

[drake_pk7]

"Wooden spoon up for grabs and a chance to see things home."


You pretty much summed up my play in this recent Blast, TtD.

Congrats to the folk from Lima going through.

I look forward to Map Blaster VI: The Return of the Jedi

....or whatever it gets titled.

Cheers!
