Unless someone signed up twice, or I miscounted, this makes us full. Games should go out later today if I get everything working correctly.

Any further signups will be reserves. Since we are using the auto tourney features for this tourney, reserves most likely will not be needed, but you may sign up anyway.

FYI no PM went out for the start of the round.

I'm not sure it got set up as a round robin like the tourney page says. Looks like we all got 3 games ... unless round 2 is going to be 20 games

Its only a round robin against others in your group. You were allocated to group A. In round 2, you'll play those 3 players again, except on Citadel.

Make sense?

[agentcom]

Duh. I totally forgot how this was set up. Thanks.

Round 1 is over. I tried to create round 2 games, but was unsuccessful this morning. I have asked for some assistance and as soon as I get it I will create round 2 games.

You probably won't get a PM again (at least not if I have to manually send it out).

[elonpuckhog]

As you can see round 2 games have been created. Everyone should have 12 new games on their My games page.

I goofed. I intended to create one set of games (so everyone would have 3). However, in trying to create the games, I created them 4 times. The error rests with me since I messed up. The issue now is how to score the tourney. At this point, I don't have the answer to that. Let me debate on it a while and I will let you know. Since there are prizes involved, I will consult with the other TDs on what they think is the best solution.

My apologies to ya'll for the game load. I goofed up big time on this one.

If there is any way to unmake the extra games, that would be my preference. I just got 23 new tourney games today (9 of them due to this error). No big deal if that can't happen but I know they were able to uncreate the last batch of 1v1 Championship games yesterday when they went out incorrectly. Thanks for all your work on this... mistakes and all.

Well I left off my games for as long as possible but no decision so have started playing. I guess fairest way is just total points for all games. Top in each group goes through to round 3.

[elonpuckhog]

Apologies for the delay. I was hoping to get some insight from some other people but so far I have not had any response to my PMs. In addition, I have some health issues going on that required some pretty major decisions to be made last night, especially regarding my job.

At this point, a decision has not been made about what to do with this tourney. As soon as a decision is reached, it will be posted here. Again, apologies for the delay.

[MudPuppy]

Thanks for the update. Hope all works out for you with the health issues!!!

[elonpuckhog]

I want to again offer apologies for the number of games that were issued in round 2. Hopefully I've learned how to do this now and we will only have one game for round 3.

I also want to apologize for the length of time it has taken me to reach a decision on how to score these games. We had one freemium player which complicated the decision. It is difficult for me to explain how I will score this, so an example is in order.

Player A is playing Player B 4 times. If Player A wins 3 or 4, that player will score 1 point for the overall standings. If each player wins 2, each player scores half a point. If Player B wins 3 or 4, player B scores the point. I will manually correct the scoreboard after round 2 is complete..

The only exception is the games involving the freemium player. For those games, obviously only the game he actually played counts. The other three will be discarded.

I believe this is the fairest solution. Questions are welcome.

[Whitexazn]

Hi, just noticed that there were like 17 games that I missed as the freemium

I won 2/3 of the games in this round (all of which were against different players), and I won 2/3 of the games in the previous round (all of which were with the same 3 players that I played in round 2). I assume that makes my score 4/6 for my group--basically the simplified version of what everyone else has to do?

[agentcom]

Elon, sounds like a good solution to me. Thank you for coming to a quick decision on this. Good luck with your RL stuff. Take care of what's important.
