Woopin's 9th - Kings Court Terminator - Winner bernooch

[woopintroysbutt]

We are down to one final game in Round 1. The Players that are advancing are highlighted RED in the drop down menu at the beginning of this thread.

[woopintroysbutt]

There is still 1 Round 1 game going. It is getting closer to being wrapped up.

Round 2 Games invitations have been sent out. Congrats to everyone who has advanced and good luck.

Why is there no description on how to earn points?

[woopintroysbutt]

I honestly thought it was sort of obvious. The Points "earned" are the Points Scored for the end results of the game, as shown in the "Terminator Points Summary" for each game.. So the Points you get are based on who you eliminate and who eliminates you.

Just so I understand, why has bernooch advanced, not emilywink?

I sum their Round 1 + round 2 totals to be -25 and -6, respectively.

Also, the original rules only mentioned the points won... not the points lost. Adding both gives a big advantage to lower ranked players. It also makes the divide between the leaders (100 to 113 points) and the "second tier" competitors (-25 to 65 points).

Humbly submitted for your consideration.

Peace.

I apologize for not responding earlier to Man from Modesto's comments above. I just overlooked it. Below is my response:

1st. Maybe - Points Earned may have been better than Points Won. But the intent I think was understood - at least by most.

2nd. Points do not carry over from Round to Round. I did not specify that in the rules, but I also did not say they would.

3rd. In Round 1 bernooch had -13 points and emilywink had 8 points. Both Players advanced to Round 2.

4th. In round 2 bernooch had -12 points and emilywink had -14. Because they were in the same game and only the 3 Players with the most points advanced, emilywink ended up in 4th place. If either player had been in another group, neither would have advanced with those points.

5th. This style of scoring definitely favors a lower ranked player. It requires the higher ranked players to play that much better. However, in another similar style Tournament, a Major won the Tourney. In one other Tournament using the same style, I won 2 of the final games, however, a private won 1 game and won the Tournament. Just the way it works.

Hope this answered all the questions.

[Man from Modesto]

Thanks, woopin.

Is there a name for this rule set?

[woopintroysbutt]

Not that I know of. Since I have been playing, I have not seen a Terminator Tourney based on Points. So maybe it will be called The Woopin Rule.

Congratulations to bernooch for winning this Tournament.

I hope everyone enjoyed the setup and the game play.
