DK's Christmas Quads [Winners in First Post]

[Dukasaur]

Demen, Erv, I and rouge baron would like to be a team

Rouge baron does not exist.

I assume this is just a typo. Sending PM to Zhukov1968.

[Dukasaur]

Ok, rouge baron = rouge_baron.

[Dukasaur]

I've made all the games, but I'm stuck at work with brain-dead Internet Explorer instead of being at home with Firefox, and I just can't deal with doing invites with this system.

[Dukasaur]

Ok, I got home safe and sound...

All invitations have been sent out now.

Merry Christmas, everybody!

[Dukasaur]

Apparantly I screwed up a couple of the invitations this morning. I was pretty tired. I hope everybody is on the correct team now...

[Dukasaur]

All games have now successfully started!

Merry Christmas and best of luck to everyone!

[Dukasaur]

Just had a quick look.. looks like nolefan's team, Blitz's team, Seamus team are all tied with 4 wins a piece so far.
Demen's team has 1 win, the rest of us have none yet.

I will have a more detailed look on the weekend.

This was a fun one Duk! We learned it a little too late to compete but it was great. We'll be in it to win it next year!

nice tourney DK


we won 6 of 7, not sure if that was good enough to win it or not.

Thank you Blitzaholic and Gunn for the compliments!

Congratulations to Team 3: osujacket, blitzaholic, dividedbyzero, natascha, winners of the tournament!




Team 3 score 6 victories out of a possible 7, including 5 victories by meeting the map objectives.

I would also like to congratulate Team 5: Seamus76, sandman175, Jug68, V.J., who came a very close second.



Team 5 also scored 6 victories out of 7. However, all were by elimination and not by map objectives, and therefore according to tiebreaker rule 1 the victory goes to Team 3. Still, it was a very convincing show of force by Team 5!

Thank you all for participating and making this event a success!

And thank you to DoomYoshi for suggesting the idea. Sorry we couldn't win, but we had some exciting game along the way, eh?

[rouge_baron]

well played fellas! Good christmas tourney... look forward to next year!

[rouge_baron]

And cheers for organising, Dukasaur... good work!

Great tourney Duk, kudos! Seems a pity to not have a final tie-breaker game & I feel sorry for the runner-up. With so many ways to win on the Christmas map devising the best one for each game was the best part of it. My compliments to both teams that won an impressive 6/7. Will only suggest that the one already played head to head game should've been considered, which would of course have reversed the result.

Aaaaaaaaanyway, the tourney made for some festive fun, looking forward to your Valentine's tourney!

A playoff round was out of the question because it was a limited-time map.

I did consider different kinds of tiebreaker rules, and head-to-head record is a pretty popular choice, but in the end I settled on the "map objectives" rule as #1 and the time rules for 2 and 3. You're right, head-to-head would have reversed the result, but would it be any better? Still, one team would win after doing really well and another team would lose after doing really well.

Team 5 has nothing to be ashamed of; they did a fantastic job.

Aaaaaaaaanyway, the tourney made for some festive fun, looking forward to your Valentine's tourney!

Glad you liked it! Not sure if we'll do Valentines', but maybe. For sure, though, we'll have to do my favourite "special events" map, the Easter Bunny map...
