OK,

i just spent all moring pouring over these scores and finally have them all tallied.

NORTH, SOUTH, and EAST were clear cut, the wild card games were sent. poor juke has 9.

the WEST was an undesirable result. i opted for a 3 way playoff to advance between, Tin Trumpet, Marengo, and Zabeast.
the player with the top record will go up against kevi in the final. if this result still produces a tie, i'm going to do a 3 player doodle to get a winner.

here was the issue;

tin trumpet = 11-6 (overall), 6-6 (division) 1-1 vs zabeast, 0-2 vs marengo
marengo = 10-7 (overall), 9-3 (division) 1-1 vs zabeast, 2-0 vs tin trumpet
zabeast = 11-7 (overall), 8-4 (division) 1-1 vs tin trumpet, 1-1 vs marengo

i have to give 2 of these players the wildcard game, the biggest kink in the hose is zabeast has an extra game under his belt. while marengo has best division and beats tin trumpet headsup, so i think a three way playoff was warented here.

Since spoilers aren't working, can you remind me how the rest of this plays out?

yeah, basically, any of the wildcards you win, will have you face up against the leader, 6 games, you'll need to win 4 to steal the division titles. then it will be north vs soutn, and east vs west. (7 games) with the winners faciing off in the final. (9 games)

if you win say north and south, you have a bye to the final. if you win north south and east, and can beat the west semi final round, you've won the tournament.

in case you want to read all what's in the spoilers, you can just quote the post and all the text will be visible.

EDIT; or better yet,

for each group, there will be top three players to move ahead. if there are any ties during this, headsup matches will be first determination. 2nd will be divisional record, 3rd will be a single escalating game on classic against all players involved in the tie. (hopefully this will not be needed :evil: )

once all games are complete, and ties have been settled, there will be a small playoff to determine the top player for each group, the #2 and #3 will play a 3 game wildcard game, winner of wildcard games will do a 6 game playoff against #1 player. in event of a 3-3 outcome, #1 player gets the bump. that means challenger needs to win 4 games to steal the crown.

once the 4 group winners are determined, there will be a semi-final playoff.
North vs. South
East vs. West
this will be 3 games on each players group map. and the best record will get the tie break map. (7 games total)
if each player happens to have same exact record, then tiebreak map will be poly 3 classic with default settings.
clarification: (wildcard games will not be counted for w/l record in regards to determining tiebreak)

Finals will be same method as above, except there will be 9 games. (4 home, 4 away, 1 tiebreaker)

if you happen to come out on top of more than one group and face yourself in the semi-final you automatically advance with a 7-0 outcome, if you face yourself in the Final, that's it. congrats, you're the winner.

it's possible to have an uneven single game in round robin groups. in this case, i'll play any games that will be needed in order to balance game count.
