Termination: British Isles [TPA][Win: whakamole][2 TOs]

[amazzony]

Division 4 has completed with yet another tiebreaker required between benga and kkelly

Invites have been sent out to those players.

>>Edit. 2 tiebreakers are over and these people have advanced to next round: Evil Semp (division 9) and Tobikera (division 10).

[amazzony]

• BlinkadyBlink (div 1) has advanced to round 2 from tiebreakers.
• benga vs kkelly (division 4) and bruno fountain vs uslaryan (division 11) are the active tiebreakers that need to finish before we can move on to round 2.

[amazzony]

Round 1 is completely finished (last tiebreakers have ended). I will collect everybody's score today to form divisions but I doubt that I will get games out so fast. You can expect round 2 games in the next 24 hours.

>>Edit. Added full list of tiebreakers that were needed in Round 1 and results (winner marked in bold).

• danryan & BlinkadyBlink - Division 1
• benga & kkelly - Division 4
• Evil Semp & kroovi - Division 9
• Tobikera & humrlmo - Division 10
• bruno fountain & uslaryan - Division 11

Round 2 has began!

First batch of this round has been sent out to everybody.

[Hath]

I made a small error in the division 5 scoring that Tripitaka brought to my attention (basically, I counted one game twice and skipped another). Luckily, it did not affect the placements in that division.

I went through and verified all of the scoring from Round 1 and everything else was correct.

On to Round 2!

[amazzony]

Round 2 has really began now!

Thanks, Hath! I have sent out the games once more, I am sure this time everything will go smoothly.

[amazzony]

Due to the small messup with starting round 2 I will not give penalty points in this batch but from next one it will go to full action. I have sent a couple of invites but mostly everybody have found their way to games really nicely.

40kguy has asked to be removed from the tournament due to his high game count and he will be replaced by the 4th place player of his division. He played in division 11 and therefore uslaryan will take his place.

Batch 2 of round 2 will be sent out next Thursday.

[amazzony]

It seems that humrlmo from division 10 has earned himself a General Achievement Medal as the Best Terminated Terminator. I will contact Lindax and the medal should be given out in the next day or two.

A General Achievement Medal will be given out after round 1 of the tournament - Best Terminated Terminator. It is given out to the highest scoring loser of round 1 (i.e. person who ends up 4th in his/her division but has gathered more points than any other 4th place player of round 1).

>>Edit. All Batch 2 (round 2) games are active. Like mentioned before, next batch coming to your way on Thursday.

Game 8872872
3 terminations for me...

[amazzony]

I'm really sorry, I am totally late with batch 2 games but I haven't been feeling well for the past week and then the whole holiday weekend.... Anyways, batch 2 of round 2 is out; third batch will be sent out on Friday.

[amazzony]

I gave everybody almost 60 hours to join the games, following people earned first warnings (remember, more than 3 warnings mean penalty points): jontheman (3), johnhendey (3), whakamole (3), joeaggie98 (2), Tripitaka (2).

As batch 2 games haven't started as smoothly as I hoped then I will postpone sending out batch 3 and those games you will get either on Sunday or Monday.

[amazzony]

Message with games of batch 3 of second round has been sent out to everybody. Everybody has 2-3 days to find and join their games, after that the penalty invites come in.

[amazzony]

An hour less than 48 hours was given to join games and following people needed invites (number of games): joeaggie98 (3), danfrank (3), whakamole (3).

I have sent overall 5 invites to joeaggie98 now which means that he has earned himself 2 penalty points; whakamole has been invites 6 times in this which gives him 3 penalty points. Hath will deduct those minuses from your score at the end of the round.

Also, I will be away from CC until the end of the week so I will see if Hath will send out more reminder-invites if first ones didn't work.

[chiefsfan4ever]

Can we get an updated scoreboard for round 2?

[Hath]

Can we get an updated scoreboard for round 2?

Yes, I'll put one out tomorrow morning, still 3 active games going in batch 1.

[Hath]

Scoreboard update for Round 2, Batch 1 posted.

The following games in Round 2, Batch 1 are not included in the scoring because they have not yet completed:

Game 8872851 - Division 1
Game 8872869 - Division 2
Game 8872870 - Division 2

[chiefsfan4ever]

Thanks Hath. I appreciate it.

[amazzony]

I couldn't get back on track as soon as I was hoping but I should have time tomorrow to send out the last batch of this round. We are still more or less in schedule then because I am hoping games to be over by the end of May which means we have June and July to play the finals (new season of TPA begins in August according to current plans).

[amazzony]

Batch 4 sent out.

[amazzony]

Batch 4 reminders sent out, only person who needed inviting was maasman (3 invites).

So, Hath, here's for you a list of players who you need to deduct points from at the end of the round:
joeaggie98 (-2 points)
whakamole (-3 points)

[amazzony]

All round 2 games are active now, currently there's 40 of them left: 13 for division 1, 11 for division 2 and 16 for division 3.

[whakamole]

wait, why am i being deducted 3 points? i've joined every game as soon as i get the pm...

*edit: i see that i'm a repeat offender and i'm POSITIVE that i haven't missed the boat at all, let alone more than once. i'm on several times a day and always join games asap.

please explain if there's something to the invite/game notification system that i'm missing, because i swear that i've joined every game as soon as i was aware of it. if i haven't been aware of it, there must be some misunderstanding. i hope to have my penalty reduced if not eliminated and make sure the process goes more smoothly for all of us from here on out.

thanks-
whak

[amazzony]

I am really not sure what to explain besides more that I said in the private message about the messages not using auto-join links. During batches 2 and 3 you didn't join the games that were sent to you by message (everybody had 48 hours to join the games) so I sent out invites which meant penalty that I added after round 1 (I made a post about it, put it in the first post of this topic and mentioned it in a message I sent out to everybody who advanced to round 2).

[whakamole]

Fair enough; the post here was put up before I sent you the pm so we could discuss more fully. Thanks for your time in discussing and thanks for running the tournament. I know it ain't easy and I'll do my best to stay in line and minimize your headaches from here on out
