[ACC] The All Comers Cup - Final

[Teflon Kris]

The All-Comers Cup

All games are now created for every mini-clan-war.

Tie-break games are not subject to the player usage rule so feel free to get those games going with any players from your clan. Please get them going asap.

It has come to my attention that 3 players have otherwise exceeded the player usage limit.

Faro of LoTZ - 8 games/series
iamkoolerthanu of GR - 8 games/series
ckyrias of TNC - 8 games/series

Here is a reminder of the rule:

Individual players can play a maximum of 30% of games (counting a 1v1 bout as 1 game). In round 1 this is 7 games. In rounds 2 & 3 this is 9 games, and in the semi-finals and final this is 10 games.
Tie-break games are not subject to player usage restrictions.

And, hereis a reminder of the consequences:

If rules are contravened, then the Tournament Organisers may determine that the offending team cannot score any victories from games concerned. If it is concluded that the offending clan have deliberately contravened rules to gain an advantage then the games concernd will be ruled as automatic victories for their opponents.

Technically, the offences took place when the player joined his 8th game/series. We are taking the last game/series created (that they are involved in) for this.

Therefore, the consequeneces are:

LotZ v SoH - Singles Series 3
This would have been 1 point to LoTZ - and is now therefore no points for either clan.

GR vs MD - Game 9492539
This was already a win for MD no result not affected.

TNC vs LEG - Game 9499883
This game cannot be won by TNC. Either no points are scored by either clan, or, if LEG win then they gain the points. LEG have waived their right here - agreement with TNC

My predictions are dead on thus far with the exception of OSA is tied (i have them predicted to win), and RA

[reptile]

So how is the proposed schedule start date for Rd 2 looking (august 22nd)

Possibility of maybe a later start date or are we still shooting for it?

Did the schedule update to take into account the 1 week delay in sign-ups? I know benga asked for it earlier.

[alt1978]

OSA (One Step Ahead) vs. PR (Pig Renters) - Dont know who PR is, but OSA could even win this thing from a dark corner

Your prediction was well noted and rests comfortably on our clan bulletin board...right next to "the lowest prices on all you can eat ribs you've ever seen"...and "biggest girl you've ever taken home". That's a pretty damn prominent spot in our forum.

It's definitely going to be a bit later due to intial teetching troubles:


Revised Proposed Optimistic Schedule

Second Round - Starts September 01

Third Round - Starts September 30

Semi-Finals - Start October 29

Final - Starts November 27

As we appproach the start of each new round, I will PM the relevant contacts so they can be prepared for a fast start.

Second result in:

AFOS (A Fistful of Sixes) defeated AKA (Always Kicking A$$)

[TheMissionary]

Are there any predictions on who is going to be playing who in the 2nd round?

[reptile]

i was wondering what the 2nd round draws would be as well so we can start preping

I'd also love to know, but I thought it was going to be a random draw?

In live chat, forgot when tho

Whenever we can get a few interested paople together at the same time.

How about Monday 6PM CC time?

[hiddendragon]

It's not completely official but it looks like the BSS with overcome TFFS slightly with a final score of 21-19. We look to be dead even in team games with a slight edge, and the winning factor, coming with the 1v1's.

[eggrollonedolla]

1 game left to decide PR vs OSA.... it has been a back and forth slug fest from the get go. 3 out of the 4 1v1 battles were one sided affairs. after that its been no holds barred the rest of the way.

[Gunn217]

Our tag is PIG, not PR!! How can we be taken seriously if our own people don't know the tag!!

Is CC on Eastern or Central time? I think Eastern.

I can be there then.

Edit: To add, maybe send a PM reminder, though. I'll probably not remember agreeing to this in four days.

[jghost7]

i think cc is on central time.


ps. it is 8.57am now, but post says 7.57am.

If you click the link it will tell you the time for your time zone (I think CC the same as EST).

[jackin_u_up]

PLease add Emmdizzle as the primary contact for AFOS and make me the second. He will be handling all gaming decisions for round 2.

AKA well played match by some really good players. I'm impressed by your clan. Took us to our limit and then some.

LOL, yeah, it says CC time is EST here, so EST it is. But it is funny how the timestamps are in CST.

thanks,

Arrangements for the draw:

Numbers will be allocated in advance* for :

(a) A number for each of the winning team from round 1. (1 to 9)
(b) Each of the 8 second round ties will also be allocated a number (e.g. first tie drawn = #5).

At CC Time: 2011-08-29 18:00:00 the draw will start in live chat, in a special chatroom.

To access the chatroom, type "/join ACC"

Then, two nominated people will start to draw numbers, alternately:

(a) the first 7 numbers drawn (between 1 & 9) will determine the opponents of the teams with a bye. The remaining two clans will play one another .
(b) Then the format for following round will be determined:
The two nominated people will alternately draw numbers from 1 to 8. his will then correspond to the pre-determined second round tie numbers above to determine which winners face one another in the third round. For the semi-finals, the winners of the first two third-round ties drawn will play one another, whilst the winners of the 3rd and 4th third-round ties will play one another.

During the draw, any non-nomiated people's comments will be ignored (e.g. if they try to shout out numbers).

* To ensure no accusations of draw-rigging are made, AndyDufresne will be copied into these pre-determined numbers which will be PM'sd between myself, IcePack and jghost7.

So, the big question is, who would like to be the nominated people to give numbers during the draw?

Leehar & angola?

[Leehar]

I'd love to come, but I think that maybe past midnight for me, so I'd recommend my dispatch columnist covering the ACC, alt1978 to help with the draw in my stead?
