john9blue wrote:YF explained it well. There is an advantage for larger games, but only slightly. 7 points/8 people is greater than 1 point/2 people. I considered giving the winner an extra point, but I had already sent out the games and decided not to change the rules. But the fact that the game sizes are random, and the fact that the tournament will rarely hinge on a single game, makes it a lot more fair. I just go to our streaky friend random.org and generate random integers ranged 2-8, then randomly order the ints 1-27 to fill the slots.

Around round 6 or so I'll check to see if anyone has consistently gotten small games. Then I may have to bend the "randomness" to their advantage a bit. ;)



Thank you for the response (you also YF) =D>

Makes sense to me.

New games are out, rankings are updated. Hopefully we're going to weed out the deadbeaters after this round (I certainly don't like having to remake all those games)... :lol:

Game 5929798 Complete.

I won by objective- jameschamp15 deadbeated, and both OliverFA and jgazaille were still alive and kicking at the end, so I admit I'm not actually sure how many eliminations this counts as. (I vote for 3 but I'll be one of the first to admit I have a bias :lol: )

Rankings updated, games sent. I kicked you out if you hadn't visited CC in a while. Sorry, but I didn't want to remake all the games again... ;)

New games are coming out soon...

Also, this is the first elimination round. Random.org rolled a 9, so the lowest 9 players on the rankings list are eliminated. Sorry guys...

This tournament thread has not been visibly updated in a while. By “visibly updated” I mean that the thread has not been bumped for at least 2 months by posting a new post or reply.

We routinely check the last few pages of the “Ongoing Tournaments” Forum for inactive tournaments. If your tournament thread is on those last pages, we have to check to see if your tournament is still active, which can be quite a lot of work.

Please help us in our quest to find inactive tournaments and update your thread regularly and then also post that you have updated it (if your tournament is still active). This will get the active threads and tournaments bumped to the first page, and significantly lessen our workload of checking for inactive tournaments.

For more information about updating your tournament thread and avoiding your tournament being labeled “inactive”, see also: Keeping Your Tournament Active & Updated

Thank you very much in advance,

One of the tourney games is still active; another game is being sent out now. There are only going to be 2 games active max at a time.
