Violet's Das Schloss Trips Tourney Finals

[mviola]

Can we please speed this up? 6 months to play 2 rounds is insane.

This tournament actually crossed my mind today...

Lol, I did clearly state in my previous post that I would be waiting for all the games to finish before starting the Semi-Finals.

Also, DS is a long map. When most of the games are going over 17+ rounds, it's going to take awhile. Also its a triples tourney, so you have six people taking their turn each round. If you average it taking 4-5 days to complete one round, then you have each round taking about three months. So we are actually on a good pace, and this tourney will even end before the last one did.

Also the semi-finals and finals will go much faster since you have less teams/less games involved.

I want to say thank you to everyone who participated in the tourney so far. The Quarterfinal rounds was insane with the high level of competition. I don't think I've ever participated in such challenging DS games. I am proud that the tournament contained a very high level of game-play.

Unfortunately, many great teams are now out of the competition. But I want to take this time to congratulate the semi-finalist who are moving onto the next round. The four remaining teams are:

Semi-Finals Group 1:
kingm, hmps, eddiemay
vs
chapcrap, goranz, mviola


Semi-Finals Group 2:
BGthebrain, thejonah, thecrown
vs
anonymus, genoake, DJ Teflon




Congrats and have fun! The semi-finals begin tonight and should last about a month. The official Quarter-Final standings will be placed in the OP.

we have 5 pts, but since we lost 2-1 to dj not sure if we can claim rights on semis

Yeah, sorry benga, but DJ's team advanced due to the tiebreaker. Your team played very very well in this tourney.

Game 12426676: I think a guy accidentally declined his invite, because one of the players still has a reserved spot, so I know the time didn't run out.

[VioIet]

Thanks for letting me know chap! I resent his invite.

[VioIet]

The semi-final games look quite exciting. Each team has a least one win, and about 2-3 games are still undecided in each group. I look forward to seeing the results. Each game will most likely finish in about two weeks.

[VioIet]

Both of the semi-final matches have come down to the fifth game. A very close, exciting battle!

[VioIet]

The winner of Group 1 is: chapcrap, goranZ and mviola

The winner of Group 2 is : BGtheBrain, TheJonah, TheCrown


Congratulations to these two teams for making it to the finals! I'll be sending out the final games shortly. The winner of the tourney will be determined out of a five game series.

*bump*

[BGtheBrain]

Will the finals be played 1 game at a time or what?

[mviola]

Will the finals be played 1 game at a time or what?

Apparently getting invites out promptly now means waiting a week and then sending out one of five at a time.

Thanks for the tourney Vi, and best of luck to us and our opponents in the final games.
