AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 DAYS "R" Round 3 Setup

by **stahrgazer** on Fri Dec 19, 2008 6:33 am

This has surely become the "Reservists" tournament; a reserve substituted for Visigoth, but now Visigoth is substituting back for the former reserve (Welcome back from vaca, Visi, glad you could join us).

Not having heard from LFAW, I'm pleased to report that pjk will be fighting it out in the balloon races and onwards.

Meanwhile, congratulations go out to gc, Stephen, and JoJo, all of whom have won their first match.

Reminder of the doubles round that will follow this 3rd singles match:
Eight Balloon Race winners are guaranteed a slot for doubles. Four “wildcard slots” will be selected at random from those eliminated in the prior races, to compete in this round. It’s another 3-continent double-elimination - 2 teams on each map, rotating opponents on each subsequent map: Australia, North America, and South America. Participants from round 1 will be given first option as “reserves” – by random draw.

Congratulations to Round 1 winners!

Round 1 winners, guaranteed to go on to Round 2

Commiserations to those who did not win, but some of you still will get a chance to play.

Those unsuccessful in Round 1, but available to partner for doubles in round 2:

gcwca_4_life
deliaselene
Stephen Wayne
Ironsky
astronautg117
Visigoth
pjk

For Round 2 we need six doubles teams (total 12 players).
Seven of you are guaranteed to go on, with a remaining 5 who will go on in order to round out the doubles teams. Obviously, some but not all might team from among the winners.

The 7 winners: You get the option to settle amongst yourselves who is teaming with whom; if you cannot agree, all teams will be settled by random draw as follows:
1. Random draw requisite number of names from the unsuccessful Round 1 players.
2. Random draw doubles teams for Round 2

Remember, who you team with for Round 2 Match 1 stays your mate for all of Round 2, and stays on your team for Round 3 and the final round. Those who were not selected to go on to Round 2 are first reserves for subsequent rounds/matches.

Round 2 is again a double-elimination, each team playing different opponents on different maps until each team either wins twice or loses twice.

Again, please accept my apologies for the delay and lack of contact due to my injuries.

Commiserations to falcon85 / JoJo123; but all is not lost. Each of you will be in one of the three teams going on to triples; just possibly no longer as teammates.

Battling now for the rights to choose their third are:

R0k0v / KoE_Sirius won the match
Game 4284943
gcwca_4_life / Mr_Adams

neanderpaul14 / deliaselene

Congratulations to:
soka/Visigoth
KoE_Sirius/R0K0v
Ironsky/pjk

for winning in Round 2, advancing to Round 3.

Round 3 requires 4 triples teams. Players that were available at last check were:

Mr_Adams
neanderpaul14
astronautg117
Stephen Wayne
falcon85
nemrehs1

That's the pool from which each of the doubles teams can attempt to select a third; disputes will be settled by random draw. Remaining players will be teamed together to round out that 4th set of triples.

Round 3 takes place over island maps.
Match 1: Galapagos
Match 2: Carribbean
Match 3: British Isles (if needed)

If anyone else is unable to continue this tourney, please let me know so an alternate can be found.
