OK we now have 10 teams ready to go!

10 teams of 3 players mean we have 30 players, and since everyone needs to lose at least 4 times to be eliminated, we will have over 16 games.

Sign ups have been open exactly three weeks. Unless someone else comes running up just dying to get in, I am going to request privileges and get this show on the road!

[SuicidalSnowman]

Ok privs requested

[SuicidalSnowman]

Round 1 games sent out, join within 24 hours please. After 24 hours you will get a first warning, after 48 hours I begin to deduct points!

Please let me know of any other issues!

good luck

Few Notices:

There were some slight changes to the tourny format. Amazzony came up with the original idea, and it was designed for 1v1. The games were to be handed out in a scramble set up. I really think this is a progressive and cool way to do things, which is why I was so drawn to the tournament. However, I also wanted to do team games. So in combining the two, I made some changes.

First of all, I am not going to have people select games on their own. The reason for this is to eliminate confusion over which team joins which game, and possibly having teams mis-join.

Second of all, I know I originally said that Team Captains would have to send out games to their teams, so far I have been able to just send invites to everyone. So for now, the Team Captain is mostly responsible for getting their guys to actually join games, and any sort of issues that come up.


Now, since I wanted this tournament to not be about strict, scheduled match ups, but also could not have people randomly join games, I simply created 15 games (10 teams means 5 match ups times 3 equals 15). I think randomized all the teams, and the first two played game one, second two played game 2, etc. After all teams had a game, I randomized them again, did the same thing, until all games were filled.

So the match-ups are all random, in fact in the first round Tapir and Crocodile play each other twice, which is just how it worked out.

As for map selection, I picked 19 maps that were in some way related to the Jungle or Madness ( or at least in my bizarre way of seeing things). I am cycling them by alphabet, so in Round 1 we used 8 Thoughts, Africa.....up to Oceania. Next round I start with Philippines, South America... back to 8 thoughts, africa, etc. Since games are randomly determined it is also random which map you play on.

Sorry to change things from the original description, but I think you will find this does not materially alter the way the tournament is running, it just made it easier to get the games up and running. And thank Amazzony for watching over me and keeping me on track

Hello.

For those of us living in America, this Thursday is the Thanksgiving Holiday. I have a major assignment due Wednesday, and then will be traveling until Monday. Therefore, it is unlikely that any updates will occur during this time.

If I am able to do any updates, the time restrictions will be relaxed.

Thanks, and as always, PM me with any questions.

[amazzony]

Always ready to nag Thanks for clearing how you make the pairings!

BTW, that's my team

Code: Select all

The tapir is a fierce competitor.

[SuicidalSnowman]

Hello!

I am back home after the holiday (the American holiday of Thanksgiving for you internationals). I am taking a final tomorrow afternoon, so update to this tournament either tomorrow evening, or if I go out drinking to celebrate my final, Friday.

Cheers all

Round 1 Scores on the first page (third post).

Next set of games incoming!!!

At the end of Round 1, it looks like the Penguins may be better suited for the chilly waters than the steamy jungle, and that the Cows are going to be crying out for their soft meadows! The Crocodiles, on the other hand, are dangerous as expected. Who knows how the Parrots are doing so well, maybe they talked their way into wins!

Next games coming very soon.

[SuicidalSnowman]

All second round games are out! Barring any major mistakes on my part, we should be rolling along.

Also, just to clarify, the scoring is done at the end of each round, after all games are completed. Therefore, the teams with low scores (say, 1 point) can lose one game, as long as they win the other two. I say this because 1) I don't want to create a situation for delay tactics and 2) I am not sitting by the computer waiting for a game to end to get it in order, and then untangle who gets points and doesn't.

Good luck to all, please PM me or post in this topic with any concerns or questions.

Games still moving along...

[SuicidalSnowman]

The first page has the updated standings at the end of round two.

The score next to your name is your current tournament points, in Green if you went up this Round, or in Red if you went down this Round.

I am sad to say that the mighty Tapir, a fierce competitor indeed (just look at those scary teeth!) has been eliminated and will not be king of the jungle!

In the next round, since there are an odd number of teams, someone will only play 2 games. As always it will be randomly decided. I'll set up the next round shortly.

[SuicidalSnowman]

All Round 3 games have been sent out. Please join ASAP, I'll check sometime tomorrow evening (or Monday morning) to look for stragglers.

Good luck.

Komodo, you only play 2 this week due to odd number of teams and the RNG.

[SuicidalSnowman]

[SuicidalSnowman]

Round 4 games are out!

There is an issue with one member of the Komodo Team, but I am currently working on it with the other members of that team. If you are in one of those games, please hold tight for the next 48 hours while we get this straightened out.

Otherwise, get on playing!

Good luck to all!

You are doing great, keep it up! But, of course, hippos rock

Thanks!

Games running, except for Team Monkey. They have received their notice, and surely will be under way promptly.

Also, Komodo is handling their player issue, and at this time I foresee no problems.
