Hey BW, sorry if my last post was a lot to handle. I was under the impression that were was subject to -3.5 points on top of the +1 that we worked so hard to achieve, and I think my irritation manifested itself in a more "pointed" post than I had intended.

If it is just the winner that is supposed to post, the rule was much more feasible. I think the original phrasing was "all teams", so I freaked out thinking that we were going to be penalized for all of them. Now the 12 hours makes more sense, too, because the team must be online in order to win. I guess losing tournament points for not reporting was a little harsh, so I sort of like the modification, but requiring people to report is totally legit - I didn't mean to criticize that in general. Sorry.

I can't figure out which part of my post suggested that I
didn't understand this, but that's fine. : ) (the numbers I ran were only for the first round and second rounds, but I wasn't motivated enough to calculate them for later rounds)
Now, I'm sorry to have to say that you gave us too many points. (

) Actually, the 4-3 lead was THEIRS, so we should have -1 at the moment and they should have +1. Like I said, I have my fingers crossed for the last two games, so if this is a sort of prophesy, feel free to leave it as is

.
Lastly, I have question. Since people aren't eliminated until after the second round, how are the matchups done for the second round? Perhaps you are ranking people by tournament points from now on instead of actual points? Just curious on this one.
Thanks!
