Random doubles, random map [Rescued][Winner: SirSebstar]

Original thread: Tournament: Random doubles, random map
Abandoner: sherkaner
Rescuer: amazzony

First post of this topic will include everything that sherkaner had done until the moment he abandoned the tournament. Second (and maybe third post) will be the space that I will use to keep updates (scoreboard and games).


sherkaner wrote:I would like to give away a year of premium, so I'll have to create a tournament for the first time. But then it will be my style of tournament..

The format:
You join alone (not as a team), and each round you'll get a teammate and two adversaries. If you win (as a team), you get a point. If you loose, you don't. The one with the highest amount of points will win in the end. In total there will be 15 rounds of 2 games each. Games will start once a week.

Teams will be decided by random.org, you will have to trust me to do this correctly. Each set of games is made seperately, which means there is a chance you could play exactly the same people 2 (or even more) games in a row. The name that comes up first will also decide part of the settings (Spoils, fortifications and fog).

To make things more complicated, the players with the lowest amount of points will be eliminated from the tournament after some specific rounds:
  • After 4 rounds 4 players will be eliminated
  • after 7 rounds the next 4 players will leave the tournament,
  • after 10 rounds 8 players will leave the tournament, which leaves 16 players for the final 5 rounds
If players have the same amount of points after 1 round, the one who lost the highest amount of CC points/won the lower amount will be eliminated.

If there isn't a single winner at the end (so some players have exactly the same amount of games won), there will be a final battle. The exact format of that is to be decided when it occurs.

This won't really be a tournament for freemiums, since the game load will be 2 games at a time on average, but could reach 4 games at times. But if someone really wants in, he/she can always try to convince me.

Settings:
Random map, 4-player doubles, sequential, automatic deployment.
Each player should decide on his/her home settings for spoils, fortifications and fog.

And as I said before, the winner will receive 1 year of premium.
(For the record, if I win I will decide what to do with it again, but probably the number 2 will receive it)

UPDATE - Random doubles, random map [Rescued]

Postby amazzony on Thu Feb 10, 2011 2:47 am

Lets see if we can get this show on the road again. I really don't know how long the tournament has been abandoned so I'll have to do some digging but it seems that scoreboards are up to date with the games played so getting this back on the road might not be as hard as some other abandoned tournaments. Of course, there might be some drop outs but I think I can use the players who have been eliminated as reserves for the tournament.

I'll try to make myself familiar with the tournament today, create excel sheets or whatever I need for future smooth running and hopefully I'll get new games out today.

Also, on a positive note, I noticed a post about sherkaner in the old topic (page 4) that he is still willing to give the premium reward. This is first time I see that happen :)

UPDATE - Random doubles, random map [Rescued]

Postby amazzony on Thu Feb 10, 2011 3:46 am

It seems everything is cleared, I've got a suggestion from sherk and created what I need for myself. So, I'm currently waiting for privileges and after a concert today I should be able to get the first games out.

I've decided that we will continue with top 16 players (which should of actually happened a round ago) and the last 8 players eliminated from the tournament will be used as reserves as shown in the scoreboard that I will post later today.

I wanted to get the tournament going sooner but just didn't find a chance. Anyways, scoreboard is up. Up to round 11 - including - has been nicely recorded by sherkaner, everything until the end will be done by me.

I've done the randomising, created first games and invites will be sent out shortly. I have plenty of reserves so if you don't get to your game in time then there's a huge chance that I will just bring in a reserve so please get to your games in time.

Postby amazzony on Fri Feb 25, 2011 4:49 am

A week has passed so it is time to get out another set of games - batch 1 of round 13. Batch 2 of the same round will be sent to you next Friday. I will try to keep to the schedule of sending out games on Fridays but I might not succeed and the shift might be +/- 1 day.

I think I haven't mentioned yet how I will update the tournament. I will update it once a round has finished, therefore after every 2 batches. So, first update from me comes when all games of round 12 are finished.

Could take some time, the longest game in a round was usually 3 to 4 weeks.

In that case the scoreboard will be updated approximately once a month :)

Second batch of round 13 has been sent out to everybody, hopefully you'll get to your games like in the last few batches - most people after first invite :)

Scoreboard is updated! Everything up to round 12 (including) is on it. Currently SirSebstar is in lead with 20 wins, second is Krissan with 17 wins and then comes a bunch with 16 or less wins.

Batch 2 of round 13 is almost active, just waiting for the last person to join the game. I'll get back to you on Friday when it's time for another set of games.

First batch of round 14 has been sent out. Batch 13 isn't over yet so I didn't update the scoreboard.

Re: Random doubles, random map [Rescued][Rounds 13&14][March

Postby SirSebstar on Fri Mar 18, 2011 5:38 pm

is there any need to send out round 14 Batch 2?
If Game 8587807 is a win for me I cannot be reached. I will have 23 wins with only 3 more games to go, and krissan will at best reach 22.
Obviously I am up for it, and krissan can still turn the game around. its funny, I already chalked this game down as a loss, and we managed to turn it around. amazing..
Also, even if krissan wins this one, at best he can reach me, but if I would be in any game with him, all i needed to do was loose and I'd still win... And if i'd win, its also still my win.
Which brings me to wonder, how are the pairings selected? (edit: random.org ah..)

So its going to be a tight battle. I have seen only 3 round 13 games going on, so in a week or 3 we will know the results. a lot of deadbeating is going on..wow

Postby amazzony on Sat Mar 19, 2011 4:31 pm

Batch 2 of round 14 has been sent out. A bit late but I had a change of laptops so I have been moving around files and stuff which means I just didn't have needed excel sheet at hand on Friday to send out the games.

As you can see, I've decided that round 14 will be played fully and I've decided so because I don't want to stop the tournament just because of an "iffy". When it's clear that winner is decided before it's time to send out batch 15 then I will most likely stop the tournament there. But, if it isn't clear by next Friday then we will play the tournament fully (i.e. both games of round 15).

It does seem that Gollum SirSebstar has secured himself the win and therefore we won't be playing round 15 as it won't change the overall standings. I'll wait for all the games to end before I make final update and declare the winner.

I'm not sure how you did it, but you absolutely ruled this tournament (I played 3 games with you, 4 games against you.. You won them all..).
So, well done and I'll PM you about what you want to do with your prize.

Congratulations, SirSebstar! 22-6 is fucking ridiculous... I'm impressed, mate.

Btw... I went 14-14 (I know, embarrassing) for -140! :lol:

And that's why doubles sucks for high ranks ;)
