[Complete] Tournament of Champions 4

[3vil]

Grrr,
I have been trying to contact you in the lobby,
I am CST(UTC-6) I will be working friday but can slip games in before or after.
today during day I can play, tomorrow I could schedule a game.
Saturday or sunday but I would prefer to set a time on those days so I can fill in my other plans.....

[Noy]

Okay, round three.

Of the six people remaining, I've decided to go with a six game round robin.
This is the way it will work: the three people in your bracket must play each other three this round for a total of six games. The winner is the one with the most wins. In event of a tie, its going down to a one game tiebreaker. It should be interesting, and different. I earlier toyed with a four game round, but decided against it due to time. I think you all should enjoy this. Comments are welcome... I want to have this started by tomorrow, and the round will run two weeks.

[Wintermute]

I am looking forward to it!

Just to clarify though, we have 6 players remaining, so if we each play the other 5, that will be 5 games rather than 6 I think? Also: I'm assuming that we can just schedule these games ASAP at whatever times work with the other players (in no particular order).

Wintermute, you are playing three games against Baufo, and 3 games against Grrr, you're not playing against contesters from Eurasian brackets until final. Have fun all, and fair luck.

[Wintermute]

ah, of course, thanks.

Noy requested 3 maps for the upcoming round, and here they are:

1. Silverhead Crossing
2. Howling Ghost Badlands *
3. Sablestone Delta

*Yes, the "new" one from the dev branch (which is included with the update packs you already have). I'm very comfortable with its current level of balance, but if anyone seriously objects, we can talk about it, and I may replace it with Freelands. I personally think it'd be great to have tournament matches played on a map that its players are not too practiced on.

[Noy]

Okay, the rules. You play everybody in your bracket three times according to the maps provided, but you can mix the schedule up between the two opponents (you don't need to play all three in a row vs one). At the end of the round we'll tabulate the results. The top in the bracket will win. Now if there is a two way tie, its the winner of the best of three series should advance. Should the unlikely event occur that all three are tied, then we might have to do another best of three. I'd to have the round complete in two weeks time... maybe by December 7th... but if you can do it earlier, that would rock.

[Wintermute]

grrr and I will play our first game on Friday, Nov 28th at 23:00 UTC (6PM New York Time), or perhaps a little earlier if we are both early.

[grrr]

After now having played 3 out of my 6 games (1 won, 2 lost) I am thoroughly fed up. Yeah, bad games happen, I know all that. And perhaps I did not play particularly well either, to say the least. Overall, I got further than what I expected, and I had some nice games. But this round proves too difficult for me, so I do what is the likely outcome: I concede utter defeat. Therefore, this round ends for me with 1:5. Have fun with your matches, winter & baufo. Both of you deserve to get to the finals.

[Swift]

sniff.... what a heroic deed!

The maps for the Finals will be:

1. The Freelands

2. Sulla's Ruins

3. Den of Onis

4. Hamlets

5. (if needed) Caves of the Basilisk

6. (if needed) Silverhead Crossing

7. (if needed) Fallenstar Lake

Best of luck to Wintermute and Pagan! I have a feeling that this is going to be a great Finals.

QFT!

I can't wait to observe these games when they happen. They should be EPIC.

[Wintermute]

A technicality to be sure, but who should start off as P1? Can we get an offical coin flip or something?

[TheMasterOfBattle]

hehe, how do you do that on a forum? XD

Makes me like of an interesting option though for a feature. An option that randomizes who is which player. Not sure if it is possible to code such a thing though.

Easier solution. Coin Toss

Even gives you the time stamp so you can take a screenshot to prove you flipped it when the other person said go.
