From the Format section on your first post (bold added for emphasis):
gameplayer wrote:If there are an odd number of players when a round starts, a player will be randomly selected to get a "bye" from the players with the most amount of lives.


Why did Mr. Gix get a "bye" this round? There are several players now that have 2 lives. According to the rules, shouldn't one of us have gotten the "Bye"?

I use random.org to randomize the pairings, and for some reason I just wasn't paying attention to whether or not we had an even or odd number. I went down the list and made all the games, and realized only after I got to the bottom that there was one left over. I didn't want to re-do ~15 minutes of work so I just let it slip for this round. Next round if there's an odd number I'll make sure to get it right.

and to further resolve matters, seems like [player]siddify[/player] has left the site so [player]mr. gix[/player] will be replacing him against [player]enormastitz[/player] since their set never started.

I'm glad I didn't get a bye this round, picked up (at least) 2 more "going second" victories :)

Just want to say, the format of this tournament really has my interest up in all of the games compared to a normal tournament. Well done so far.

Phew. Game 9 of our series was the first and only one where the second player won. Very competitive matches, jovel.
If you want to play a game where luck isn't a factor, go play chess.
