The Unloved [TPA] [WINNER: lynch5762]

by **Kinnison** on Tue Dec 21, 2010 12:19 am

Okay, problem.

Since I last posted, I've had TWO desktop computers break or otherwise fail to boot up, including one that's just recently out of the shop. I'm QUITE upset... I'm also on my laptop.

The laptop does NOT have current versions of word and excel, so even though the tourney files are on a flash drive, I can't access them right now.

I'll have this fixed ASAP, one way or another. Watch this space for updates... but no games tonight, sorry.

by **Kinnison** on Wed Dec 22, 2010 5:03 pm

Okay, I've gotten ONE of the desktops working. Still no CLUE what's wrong with the "best" one... I'll have to try tracing every bit of wiring from the PS later tonight.

Down to 2 matches undecided in RR2. I'm posting all the details, revised when necessary, on the "future" rounds and seeding for them. After I get that done, i have an errand or two that MUST get done tonight, then I'll make more games. Due to the holiday season, I don't expect the bracket round to actually begin before 2011.

by **Kinnison** on Thu Dec 23, 2010 2:06 am

Okay, form of bracket is defined.

Maps for round 2-6 checked. It figures. Only 5 "bad" (in terms of starting right on a bonus level) maps in the whole tournament... including the first two. While the remaining maps may have their problems... starting right on the cusp of losing an army with ONE lost territory is not one of them. Anymore.

RR set 3 games coming down now.

----ARRRRGH.
New games created. The argh is that Google has no changed how their photo album, Picasa, displays image files. So I can't get the same view of the schedule as I've had posted... I'm changing it to a google docs spreadsheet. (grrrr)

by **Kinnison** on Sat Dec 25, 2010 12:02 am

...

I had requests for game delays or re-invites, due to holiday travel and the like. As a result, ALL games which had invitations expire have had their invites re-issued. Beyond the RR, I expect to have more warning of games starting for you all, and may go to PM/invite combos. We'll see.

by **Kinnison** on Sat Jan 01, 2011 12:06 am

Update late Sunday, Jan 2; or Monday the 3rd.

Text bracket is on the first page. Link to fancier bracket is right below the text one.

Games being made now for immediate distribution.

by **Kinnison** on Fri Jan 28, 2011 7:57 pm

First bracket round is DONE. Recording them now - and... and... wow.

Okay, Somehow, I completely forgot to make 2 matches for the first bracket round. Fortunately, they're the same next bracket, so I'll make them NOW, and make all second bracket sets on Monday or Tuesday, and try to get things caught up as quickly as possible.

Terribly sorry about this. Brackets on page one (and on the web) are updated.

by **Kinnison** on Mon Jan 31, 2011 6:28 pm

Round 3 (second bracket, round of 16) games are out.

7 of the 8 matches have been sent out, the last match is waiting on the deciding game between ZionT and alt1978, tied at 1-1, before beginning.

Copy that. Next round going out, and congratulations.

by **Kinnison** on Fri Feb 04, 2011 7:35 pm

Okay, I'm headed out of town. I regret I'll have no access... I was hoping the next round would be ready before I left... it's not QUITE.

So, the next games will come out NEXT Thursday, Feb 10.

by **Kinnison** on Thu Feb 10, 2011 1:53 am

I'm back (obviously). 6 of the 8 current matches are done... brackets are updated here and on the web. There's few enough matches per round now that we'll wait for a round to be clear before moving on.

by **Kinnison** on Mon Feb 14, 2011 2:07 pm

One more match decided, down to the final game of round 3. The Quarterfinals (round of

should be starting up shortly.

by **Kinnison** on Thu Feb 17, 2011 1:36 am

Quarterfinals set, games being made now. Reminder: this will be the last round that will be 3 games. 5 for the semis and 7 for the finals...

by **Kinnison** on Sat Feb 26, 2011 3:59 pm

Brackets updated, 2 of the 4 semifinalists have been decided.

by **Kinnison** on Sun Feb 27, 2011 11:30 pm

3 of 4 semifinalists decided...

...however, I will NOT be on the site again, (in all likelihood) until Sunday, 3-6. The coming week is going to be unpredictably and insanely busy. If I somehow manage to check before next Sunday night, I will cheerfully update, but I'm not thinking it's likely, sorry.

by **Kinnison** on Mon Mar 07, 2011 12:01 am

And here we are, at the Semifinals!

Best of FIVE, this round, one game each on five different maps.

Good Luck to all our survivors so far... games going out now.
