[Fuzzy316]

reahma I have you in.

[Fuzzy316]

May have to replace a player if they do not get premium account again. they are not responding to messages I am sending them either.

[Kondrad]

hi, in as a replacement, if still needed.

[Fuzzy316]

awesome, thanks Kondrad, you will be replacing Serreski

Are the results going to appear somewhere for each round?

[Fuzzy316]

Yessir, each grid has their own bracket in the 2nd posting of the thread. This will be updated per round due to game play.

[Fuzzy316]

in addition, looks like another player is no longer going to be active. Rather than try to replace him, I am going to put him as last place, and drop him. As a result, for the second round one grid will have only 7 players. Working on scores to determine where exactly though. Will decide once all games are finished and before any necessary tie-breakers are needed. (If this allows grids to balance appropriately with only one having 7, and no tie-breakers needed as a result, all the better).

Has gone MIA and is not responding to invites, or mails. He is the player being dropped. dumhic gets a forfeit victory of 2-1 ( i gave it that score due to bob having won several other games, and skunked one player)

[Fuzzy316]

Round one is over, we have 2 tiebreaker games to determine 3 grids. grid 4 will have 7 players in it. These 7 players may or may not receive extra "wins" to cover the player no longer in the tourney. Since the total wins are tallied, they would have another 3 chances for wins. I am debating this since it may affect the outcome. I am thinking perhaps having some kind of challenge question or something to have them earn them. Here are the grid tiebreakers for round 1.

(11 wins) to determine the lower section of Grid 2 and upper section of Grid 3

(13 wins) to determine upper section of Grid 2, and lower section of Grid 1

Round 2 grids are now finalized. Will be sending first set of invites out within next 2 days.

[Fuzzy316]

as a result of hving 2 grids with only 7 players.. there will be a minor handicap for those grids, allowing for "wins" to be tracked... I was thinking of providing a some wins and losses against the now nonexistent players...based off the eliminated players round 1 performance, as well as the individual they would be playing in rd 2.... bouncing it around.. will send this information to all players still active.

[chapcrap]

Just go off of W/L percentage instead of the actual W/L. I think that's the most fair.

[Jippd]

Have you tried finding reserves?

[Fuzzy316]

yeah, tried reserves... and now I have another deadbeat in Grid 4.... sigh

[Jippd]

I don't quite understand the format of the games and I'm to lazy to try reading the first post to understand. Does chaps suggestion work? or can you just dump us all into one big round robin?

Whatever you do I trust your judgement

[Fuzzy316]

basically, i wanted an idea to allow for elimination in a round robin tourney, but using grids that people move up and down... the way that this is going though.. I may just switch it where the bottom xx people end up getting eliminated... dunno yet though. plus i have the poll on the first thread now, and so far 35% of voters want a 2-1 victory for deadbeats opponents.

[Fuzzy316]

ok.. so it looks like for round 2 deadbeat players will forfeit and give their opponents a 2-1 victory. This will mean several players get extra points, in order to determine the Grids for the next round. I will post those points here at the end of the round with total scores.

Players who have deadbeated at this point:
bobislarge (Grid 4)
vegnagun (Grid 3)
efreddy (Grid 4)

I think game 10674028 is supposed to have an invite for Tirbid?

Hello?

[Fuzzy316]

had a player go from premium to free account status...

[Fuzzy316]

lost another player in this one... in middle of round 2... dmastrong has gone premium and unanswered requests for premium.

[Fuzzy316]

further matches against him will be scored as 2-1 against in favor of his opponent.
