Reminder PM sent out
I want to make sure everything is clear about moving on. There are four of you needing to qualify for the next round still --you should be getting with each other to play. Don't wait until the weekend.
Good Luck
9. To ensure players get to play at least five games when the player count gets low near the end of the tourney-if a player has been unable to entice others to play I will set up one game against each remaining player to get that player above 5 games. For example: Players A-B-C all have 5-6-7 games played receptively and 50% win rates. Player D only was able to get in 2 games and no one will play him/her since they are already advancing. One game will be played against A/D, B/D, C/D--this would occur at the end of the week or as soon as it is known no one will play him/her. If this causes A, B, or C to go under 50% they will be out of the tourney. I believe this is the only fair way to allow every player to get a chance at playing 50%. This is really not an issue in the early rounds, but might be one in the late rounds. If however there is a player above the 50% line that can play the one or two players not reaching the 5 game limit--I will just have that player play them so that everyone that has achieved 50% will advance--but for this to happen they have to be above 50% by enough games where they cannot get knocked out themselves. As the week comes near an end I will clarify each situation to make it fair.
10. If you run into a time issue where you cannot find anyone to play--you need to pm me halfway through the week-no later than Thursday. I may set up some 24 games to at least get you to the five game limit. I cannot guarantee more than this. With so many players and a lot of time you should be able to knock out at least five games. If you wait until Saturday to start playing you may just not get the limit of games in. If I have not received a pm from you by Thursday--that you tried to get games and could not get them --you will be out of luck and have to find someone to play by Sunday morning.
We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act but a habit.
