Whom or What version 1 [winner = musteriuz]

[Fewnix]

Well, we have our first finished game.

COOL!!!

Its all good:



How about I do an update this weekend with provisional scores? Any errors or omissions let me know,I'm new at this duk starts to set up round 2 and posts the score on a cumulative basis. Todays oppo is tomorrows team mate..Love the one you are with.

Round 1: You will form a team with all the players on the same horizontal row as yourself. You will play three Quads games, one against each of the other teams. So, Team A vs. Team B, Team A vs. Team C, Team A vs. Team D, and so on.

Round 2: You will form a team with all the players on the same vertical column as yourself. You will play three Quads games, one against each of the other teams. So, Team 1 vs. Team 2, Team 1 vs. Team 3, Team 1 vs. Team 4, and so on.

After Round 2, the Square will be re-randomized. On the new Square, Round 3 will follow the same procedure as Round 1, and Round 4 will follow the same procedure as Round 2.

Total game load, therefore, is 12 games, in four rounds of 3, probably over a period of six to eight weeks.

Scoring:
3 points for being on a winning team and not missing any turns.
2 points for being on a winning team if you miss one or more turns.
1 point for being on a losing team and not missing any turns.
0 points for being on a losing team and missing one or more turns.

I would rather see all the games in a phase finish before starting the next phase. We can make an exception if there is one that is taking an exceptionally long time, but definitely it is too soon to start now.

One issue is game load. People have a certain expectation when they sign up for a tournament of how many games at a time they will be playing, and I don't like to overload them. But the second, and much larger issue, unique to this type of tourney, is mind-set. In Round 2 people that were your team-mates in Round 1 will now be your opponents. People will need to reorient their mind between the two.

No fuss, no rush, but here are how I see things standing as of Saturday morning June 23. It may be that I am new to this or it may be the nature of this tournament but I find there is lot of detail work in keeping score in a tournament, so please feel free to gently point out any errors I have made. All resuts posted here are provisional and the Duk will be the final judge of all things.

Round 1: You will form a team with all the players on the same horizontal row as yourself. You will play three Quads games, one against each of the other teams. So, Team A vs. Team B, Team A vs. Team C, Team A vs. Team D, and so on.

Round 2: You will form a team with all the players on the same vertical column as yourself. You will play three Quads games, one against each of the other teams. So, Team 1 vs. Team 2, Team 1 vs. Team 3, Team 1 vs. Team 4, and so on.

After Round 2, the Square will be re-randomized. On the new Square, Round 3 will follow the same procedure as Round 1, and Round 4 will follow the same procedure as Round 2.

Total game load, therefore, is 12 games, in four rounds of 3, probably over a period of six to eight weeks.

Scoring:
3 points for being on a winning team and not missing any turns.
2 points for being on a winning team if you miss one or more turns.
1 point for being on a losing team and not missing any turns.
0 points for being on a losing team and missing one or more turns.

Highest aggregate score wins. Simple, isn't it? In case of a tie, the win will go to the player who has gained the most actual CC points in the tournament. So, tough-won games against higher-level opponents will carry the potential for an ultimate reward

in the calculation of points for Game 11096126, it appears that team A was attributed points for a win earned by team D ...

Well, it certainly looks like Team D is the winner, although the losing team was team C, not A.

I'll review all the results at some point over the weekend.

Update July 4 Games Game 1096130 is still on.Team A: Viceroy63 king15 will_mp40 Dusty21 and Team C: Remo Williams crazymilkshake5 musteriuz therealdeal_37 are slugging it up so the Duk may want to hold off sending the invites for Round 2. Keeping in mind

Round 1: You will form a team with all the players on the same horizontal row as yourself. You will play three Quads games, one against each of the other teams. So, Team A vs. Team B, Team A vs. Team C, Team A vs. Team D, and so on.

I suppose I couldn't scan and post the wedding service sheet for a legit reason for my 2 missed turns on 5/20?

Congrats on the wedding!

But I'm sure everyone who misses has a legit reason. I know I do when it happens to me...

[Dukasaur]

All games in round one are now complete, and I should be sending out round two games. However, I've gotten a bit backlogged, and some of my other tournaments have been waiting for updates longer, so it will be a couple more days.
