ck's 3ple Trouble in Stalingrad Complete, joriki team won

[mc05025]

The duration of the first round was 2 months and I estimated about the same for round 2.
At the loser brackets people have to play twice the games of the people from the winning bracket.

A good estimation is that the tournament will finish onJanuary 2013.

Isn't it a very long duration for a tournament?
Maybe you can do something like the games (and especially at the losers bracket that they are more) start immediately when the teams have won or lose the previous match without waiting all the games to end?

Just saying because I think 1 year is a lot. For example my premium expired and I am not willing to renew it for some time. I did not know that 3 months ago. Of course I will try to have 3 slots open when the new games are going to start but I can not be sure about what I am going to do in 3-4 months from now. I might want to take a summer vocation for example. I believe same problems will have other players too and that is the reason for posting that

i don't know what happened to challonge. they had an update and since then the bracket image is not working. i will look into it.

the good news are that the finals are on!!!

its best of 5 series. 3 games are sent. 2 more if needed. if the team from lower bracket wins the repeat games will be again best of 5.

winner bracket team : smegal69, betiko, jghost7

best of 5? this tournament is really endless... so it could mean up to 10 games for a final vs a team we've already played against, total 13 games vs the same team and atournament over 1 year long... really excessive! I don't know what other teams were thinking with a double elimination in this format...

betiko asked me if we could make it a best of 3. i said that if everyone agrees then its fine by me.

[smegal69]

so how many games will we play?

and if we lose the first lot do we get our 2 chance? since we have not been killed in the tournament ?

he sent 3; we need to win 3. if no one wins them all he will send the other 2. if the other team wins the need to knock us out a second time as we already knocked them out. therefore another 5 games, so 10 total. not to mention they got 2 freemiums in their team so it will be a pain in the ass and will last another 3 month. I think that best of 3 each time is more than enough, can you answer on the pms we are sending each other to ckyas and the other team? thanks

[ckyrias]

i don't understand why this is getting complicated! if the winner bracket team wins the best of 5 then its all over! in this case if smegal, betiko and jghost7 wins 3 games its all over and they will win! if joriki, pakao and kaikeva wins 3 then we will have another set of 5 games.

Game 1 to the underdogs

1 year, 1 month and 10 days later this marathon has ended!! Huge congrats to joriki, Ika Pakao, kaikeva for wining this coming from the loser bracket! huge congrats to the finalists as well smegal69, betiko, jghost7.

thanks all for sticking with the tourney.

[Ika Pakao]

Thank you ckyrias for the patient organization and for the kind praise. Thanks to all participants for making this tournament such an interesting journey. Finally a special thanks to smegal69, betiko, jghost7 for forcing us to burn our brain cells in order to win this tournament! Sorry for not being able to win in fewer games, but you have only yourself to blame for winning nearly as many Stalingrad games against us as we had ever lost before.
