I personally think another match is better than a coin toss, but maybe ask them.

Spidey would have to win his last home game, but he would have 4 home wins and 2 away wins. Jennifermarie had 3 home wins and 3 away wins. This gives her the tiebreaker. I made the away wins the first tiebreaker because it should be harder to win on the road rather than at home.

By the way, I still haven't heard how to break a 3-way tie. Right now I'm thinking (although I haven't done the work) about checking head-to-head records.

Alright, everything has been recorded, but I don't know when I will create and start the games. I'm pretty busy the rest of the day, so it might be really late tonight when I do so.

by **jennifermarie** on Fri Aug 10, 2007 11:50 am

yes night, ed's settings are fine w/ me...we discussed a while back during one of our 1 v 1's

by **Night Strike** on Sun Aug 12, 2007 2:43 pm

Sorry for the delay on making the games. I've only been able to take my turns in my games this weekend. I'll make the games and PMs late tonight (assuming I have internet connection).

by **Night Strike** on Fri Aug 17, 2007 12:42 am

Everyone should have joined their games by now (but not all have). :evil:

by **Night Strike** on Thu Aug 23, 2007 11:04 pm

Round 2 games are nearing completion, but I'm not going to post the bracket or results until they are finished. Just keep winning. (or figure them out for yourselves) Good luck.

congrats to Movie Gallery and Family Video who are going to meet in the finals! well played guys

by **Night Strike** on Mon Aug 27, 2007 12:03 am

Yep, edbeard is correct. It will be Movie Gallery meeting Family Video in the finals, with Movie Gallery holding home field advantage. I will make the games soon and PM them to the players.

Congratulations to Family Video, but a hearty BOO to the tiebreaker for round 2 being based on round ONE wins.

Seriously, with the change from singles to doubles, and the next round STILL being doubles, performance should be rated by round two performance.

I would suggest changing the tiebreakers (round 2) in subsequent tournaments in this format to: R2 Away, R2 Home, R1 total.

...This in NO WAY is meant to detract from my congratulations to Family Video (and Movie Gallery, of course). But I had to go back and read the starting rules to figure out why my fellow netflixians [is this a word?

well, it is NOW] didn't make the cut.

Yeah, I will make that change for next time. Honestly, I had to go back and look myself because I didn't remember exactly how I had set it up. My rationale when I formatted it was because I figured there would be ties in the Round 2 games anyway and I didn't want to take several steps to break them.

FYI: I will probably make the games sometime tonight.

..or a single playoff game. say on the other final teams settings? just a thought - im more of a fan of teams winning to move on, not winning tie breakers.
