i've stepped down from the tournament but will take the place in case someone is unable to participate

[Fried-Psitalon]

I apologize, but I didn't realize this would run straight through the Christmas holiday - I'm going to have to withdraw, as I will be out of town from the 21st to the 28th of the month.

Sorry for the difficulty, and good luck to all the players.

[MarkG]

good, i get to play BigFree

[Frozzy]

As a curious observer, could you explain how round three works?

A system where you have "seeds" based on theirs aggregate scores in the first 2 rounds could work for the third phase, in that there is a "new" contest. Seeds 1 & 2 get a bye in the first phase of the "new" tournament. 3 plays 6 and 4 plays 5. In the next phase 1 plays the lowest remaining seed and 2 plays the second lowest remaining seed. Then, the two winners play eachother in the final.

But, in any case, I'm sure the system you have is better. Mind explaining it though?

[MarkG]

i thought it would be clear from the table. on round i we have 12 players. with 6 1-on-1 games we go to 6 on round ii. the same happens on round ii and we have 3 players. these play each other in a total of three games (a vs b, a vs c, b vs c)
if one of the three has two wins, he's the winner. otherwise we do the round iii process again

geting scores into this would be too complicated

[Frozzy]

Ahhhhhh.... a mini league, in other words?

[Wittlich]

That's the way I see it Frozzy.

[Frozzy]

Love that avatar Wittlich

[Shogun Gunner]

don't think I need to worry about Round 3....

[Frozzy]

Isn't that similar to what Snotty said in the 1st tournament? Look how that turned out

[Wittlich]

Ya know, I think you're right Frozzy.

Just goes to show you that anything is possible.

We're in chat right now spectating (well, at least in #Apolyton) the first big BigFree-MarkG match
