Right! Seeking Privileges. We start shortly.

Through Criticalwinner, you're in.

DarkSheet, El_Duderino, sundance123, chidone... you're reserves, sorry. If someone doesn't show up for, or drops out during, the FIRST round only, you'll be called upon. After that, sorry, vacancies will be filled from within the tournament.

I have bolded the freemiums, for easier reference. I am PLEASED to have them, but they do affect scheduling, is the only reason i hold them up for notice. Should anyone lose premium during the tournament, please let me know immediately, so i can cut you to no more than 2 games at once.

Making up the details of the score sheets, then creating games. I fully expect the first games to be out tonight.

[Kinnison]

Okay, 207 games/414 invites out. (225 in the first round, but freemiums are not being required to have more than 2 at a time. 6 freemiums=18 games not started).

LET THE PLUNDARR BEGIN!

Oh, and if you see something that doesn't match up/feel right, in the groups, your games, the Google docs scoresheet... whatever, please let me know.

Every premium player should have 4 or 5 games/invites. If you have 4, it means you're in a group with a Premium, and your last game will come later.
Freemiums, of course, should have 2.

[Kinnison]

We've had one drop, due to RL issues. Activating the reserve list as needed.

[Kinnison]

DarkSheet has now replaced firework3. Invites have been sent.

67 Games still awaiting one or both players.

[manchild1]

This is my first tournament - do we need to report the results here or can you already see them? In any case, I lost to ThrushAAX already and now have space for another game

That varies from tournament to tournament. However, I can find all the results, PLEASE do not report the results of 225 games in this thread. However, if the freemiums would LIKE to tell me when they have a game free, it'll be a bit faster than me finding all of them.

Only one set of invites expired, they're being re-sent.
manchild1, here comes your next game.

[Kinnison]

Things are moving Nicely... 62 games already done, 151 running or with invites out, an even dozen waiting to be made, for the freemiums (3 freemium games have cycled already).

[Leehar]

I'm not sure I understand the score-sheet, but names are wins?
Anyway, 2 wins under the belt, hopefully at least 1 more on the way. 1 game looks like a loss and another looking to be leaning my way. Guess I shouldn't have been so worried about poker after all

Should 3 wins be enough to qualify tho?

[Leehar]

Sorry, cancel that, I've won all of my other 4 games, except the 1 I'm trailing in, so I'm fine to go through to the next round I think

[manchild1]

room for one more game

On the score sheet, the lower left side is the game number of a matchup. in the upper right, the corresponding cross/matchup does contain the winner, yes.

3 Wins might be enough to get most folks to a tiebreaker... it really depends on the division. I would say 4 wins are needed to have a secure shot at the next round. This is not a concern for me, as It looks like I'm going to pull ONE win myself (sigh). If I'm lucky...

Since only one person in a group can pull 5 wins, yeah, I'd say that's enough.

[Kinnison]

Progress Continues.

Division N has one game remaining, but it does not affect the outcome. Peter Gibbons and keiths31, each with 4 wins, will advance from there.
Division D is complete... with 4 players tied at 3-2. No one of them swept the other 3, so there will be a playoff to determine who advances.

All other divisions running... 10/25 freemium-related games still to be made, as games finish,


I will be out of town from October 4th through the 7th. The tournament score sheet will update LATE on the 3rd or on the morning of the 4th, and then not until the 8th. Sorry about that, I was hoping we'd be between rounds.

I MAY be able to make freemium games as needed during those days, but no guarantees.

[thehippo8]

I can take another Fremium game now if that helps?

thehippo8

Much appreciated. On the way.

[thehippo8]

Ok and ready for another! I may not be very good but I'm getting through them ... lol!

[Kinnison]

Progress continues.

Tiebreaker procedure clarified/slightly amended after consulting with TDs and all currently tied players. The original was pasted out of an old tournament, and not perfectly applicable to the structure here.

First tiebreaker game going out as well.

[manchild1]

I'm ready for another too (my last, I think?). Here's hoping I can get at least one win up!

[manchild1]

Also, I was just perusing your spreadsheet and I think there might be a problem in group L. xman is listed as having 0 wins, but it says that he won his game against authoman.

[thehippo8]

If I have one left give it to me!

Candidate for faq?

And you did say you were fond of the map didn't you?
