I'm confused as to where I stand in this tourney. Any explanation?

[oldrisky44]

I am confused by your confusion. You won your game in round 1 and have joined your game in round 2. What further explanation do you need?

[oldrisky44]

We need one player.

[derivative133]

Why not start a new game with one less in the game? Course I don't know how tournys work.

The following message was sent via PM to all Round 2 players...

"Hi All,

We have had one player drop out of round 2 and we need a replacement.

Would you guys rather...

1. Create one 5 man game for the stranded players

OR

2. Have us have a random drawing of losers from round 1 to fill the spot

Please respond with your vote within 24 hours so we can get going on a decision."

We will make a final decision within 24 hours.

Vote Count

5 man game........10
Random drawing...11

Wow the results are close, but the time to reply has expired and Random Drawing wins, so I will do that now....

Ok I did the drawing but when I went to fill in the blank spot I noticed that there are now 2 games with empty spots, so I will re-issue the poll.


This message was just sent to all active players...

Hi Guys,

You are not going to believe his but the poll was nearly tied at 11 to 10 in favor of the random drawing. I went ahead with the drawing, but when I went to fill in the last open spot I noticed that there are now 2 empty spots.

So I am re-issuing the poll and this time I am requesting all responders to please enter your votes in the tournament thread. The vote was just too close for comfort and I want everyone to be able to see the actual votes.

So again, the choices are...
1. Two 5 man games
2. Random Drawing of losers from round 1

Thanks

1- Let them have a five man game. Why give someone who lost a 2nd chance unless the players in that game prefer a six man game themselves. Perhaps it is most fair to just ask those five instead of everybody else.

Let the five decide. Usually I would think they'd prefer the lesser number to compete against, but perhaps not for the game-play. However, if somebody lost by missing turns x 3, then it would still be a legitimate win for one of the other 5. So why potentially take it away from one of them to give it to somebody who already lost unless the majority of the 5 in the game prefer it that way?
I'm not adamant about this line of thought. It just seems sensible. (LOL, btw, I am in a six man game...I'm not in one of the fives trying to get myself an advantage...but I cannot say that the $10 they slipped me didn't color my opinion just a little.)

5 man games

[emelar]

Hmmm? One other consideration: Perhaps one of the 5 man games could be by Shoop, moop, Krissan, Phil, and Patrickaa317 since they were all the winners of their game # 7778950 Just a thought

[oldrisky44]

LOL,

Two 5 man games

thx

Thanks for the encouragement derivative, I expected to hear from you on this.

I will allow voting until 5am EST tomorrow then set the games in motion.

I want to be as fair as possible to all you guys.
