That puts you in a three way tie for first in your division.

what about game 6736782? wrong player joined?

Sir Ricco, as you changed tie breaking rules during the tournament, you may also change playoff games format. single elimination with only 1 game played is totally bad after playing 16 rounds of league. you may have bad day and be eliminated, no matter if you played completely tournament excellent until playoff. you may do it at least best of 3 series, 2 games on better seeded player map, and 1 game on lower seeded player map.

may we change home map settings during the tournament? I am waiting that feudal epic become normal map, as you said that no beta maps allowed, and I would prefer to change it when (and if) feudal epic releases from beta.

The Sir. Ricco Tournament Foundation is always looking to please, so I will be looking into this matter.

You may change your map mid tournament.

The Survey will be updated in this post:

What should the Playoff Format be?

by **amazzony** on Thu Apr 15, 2010 8:12 am

I'm always a supporter of best-of-more-than-one format

But, I'd like to remind everybody that you knew what you are getting into when you signed up. Making it best of 3 in playoffs will make the tournament longer by several weeks (if not months) and I don't think it would be fair to ask Ricco to run it longer than he expected. Of course, as he said, he is here to please people but I'm hoping that all of you who make to play-offs, will please the organiser by playing 3 games at once which is making Ricco's job easier and tournament moving faster.

I'll hold from voting but I would use use 2b if second option wins.

yes, true is that everybody knows what to expect when signed up, but suggestion was to improve fun and competitiveness of the tournament. it s not so fun to play 16 round league very well and then be eliminated in only one game, which is often lottery. I know that it will make tournament longer, maybe for 1 month, but it will also make it more interesting to play.

for Sir Rico: I am not sure if i wrote it to you in pm, so I will repeat here, that I will be out of town until Tuesday 20th of April, so i would like to join my 11th round game on that date if possible. Thanks

Yeah, I will make a note to hold your spot open till then.

Josko, I think you completely missed my point. I agree that best-of-sth is better and my point/reminder to players was to make a favour to Ricco (as he is most likely doing one to you) by agreeing to give 3 slots to the tournament in the playoffs. If I remember the playoff system correctly then playing 1 game at a time with best-of-3, it'll add appr. 1.5-2 months to the tournament.
