Just have to say... the Christmas map is broken on nuclear

Just have to say... the Christmas map is broken on nuclear

Not as much as other maps. And is a lot of fun, when only the windows are left Altough it can get very boring easily that way... Anyway I we had a lot of luck (good or bad) with the nukes, so has been very funny.

And Day 9 is underway.
REMEMBER, ladies and gents, that this is a non-scoring round - winners advance, losers are eliminated, but scores will not change.
Good luck!

Day 9 has concluded - we are down to 12 players.
[player]anamainiacks[/player] has informed me that he will be away from August 15-18 and would prefer not to have to have a sitter take his turns so close to the end of the tourney, so I will delay the start of Day 10 until Monday, August 19.
I realize I made a different decision in a similar situation earlier in this tournament, and I now believe that I was wrong then and should have made at that time the decision I am making now.
Here's to learning from our mistakes, eh?

Thanks so much for doing this sempai!!! And sorry to everyone else for the delay!

[sempaispellcheck]

Not a problem!
Day 10 will start tonight.

Now that Day 10 is finished, I realize I probably should have decided this earlier:
If two teams are tied for last place at the end of Day 11, the results of their head-to-head matchup will determine who is eliminated.
If all three teams are tied at the end of Day 11, the team's total points earned in Rounds 1-10 will determine who is eliminated.

There are only 3 games, and 2 games per team, so the score will either be 2-1-0 or 1-1-1. So only the three team tie scenario matters, but that's fine as a tiebreaker anyway (: Good luck everyone!

Go Taels!

[sempaispellcheck]

And what do you know, we have a three-way tie!

Team total scores:
Team A: 70 + 79 = 149
Team B: 71 + 76 = 147
Team C: 73 + 73 = 146

And so Team C - ttblanch and Iron Maid - are eliminated.
Coming up next, the final game of this tourney!

This wasn't mentioned to be the criteria to get eliminated. Team A won there game in Round 7, Team B & C in Round 6. So I think it's pretty unfair to knock us out.

A pity that Official Tournaments get screwed by non-existing rules!

This post was made before Day 11's games were created. The rule, thus clarified, was in this thread for all to see.
Also, only on Day 1 did I use round numbers to break ties.

So with this rule it was already known that if all 3 teams were tied, our team would be eliminated. We both had 73 Points and in the other teams there are players with 70 & 71 Points. Still pretty unfair in my opinion to eliminate us. I think both the suggestions I made in my 2 posts here. 1) see in which Round the game ended and 2) Individual points earned in Rounds 1-10 are more democratic then your rule.

Also because it was all tied, why not create a 6 player assassin final?

And it would have been good if this rule was also mentioned in the first post.

[sempaispellcheck]

Also because it was all tied, why not create a 6 player assassin final?

This is a good point. I shall do this.
The 4-player assassin game I had created will not count for this tournament, and all 6 finalists will receive 3 months premium (the winner gets an additional 3 months and a medal).
