In reference to those who drop out of tourney.I was wondering for future tourneys since prob no point in adjusting scores, Giving 5 to every player in a game is like giving away about
8*6 = 48 points, since 6 people will now not lose 3 points and they gain 5, and it is fair enough to say that the winner would have likely gotten about 5 points anyways(so his dont count 8*7+5 for winner), so
48 points have been created due to one person exiting tourney. Id think for future ones if no elims is a -3 then if someone is missing all players get 3 to net out at 0, totalling 3*6 = 18 (and the winner gets 5 or 10 based on winning round) additional points created still kind of a lot since one persons points is max worth 10, but 48 seems a bit high especially if one set of games has mostly 8 players and the other sets of games has 7 or even 6. The other sets are at a distinct advantage.
Obv it be difficult to find a perfect solution but I was just thinking about it. If all players have the same # players per games and all points totally even, I guess its a mute point.
Thanks for the feedback. It is great when someone takes the time to do it. As with a lot of my tourneys, they have been slightly experimental with the points and if I do another I will change it somewhat. This is why you have not seen another one of these posted yet.
My reasoning behind the points was that if you had a game with only 7 players, you would be at a disadvantage for points because you would not be able to claim 10/7/5/3/1 point(s) from that person. I expected round 1 to go on for a while (average rounds is 30ish), round 2 to go on for around 11 and round 3 to go on to round 25+ because of the big board. This is why I chose the 5 points. Not to high and not to low. If I give some points to one player, then I have to give them to all as all would of had a chance to take that player out.
As for you, you have a 97 point clearance from canona85. I think that your great second round has given you this tourney as you now both have 3 games. The average points for round 3 seem to be at around 30, including the extra points. So for canona85 to catch you, he would need to do very well in all 3 and you badly in all three.
Once again, thanks for your time and I do hope it does not come down to you or canona85 losing it by only a few points. But if it is within 50, I had planned on going through all games to check the scores.
