[Gary Stevenson]

I'm still waiting on the rd 1 winner in the winner's bracket between mulls and mjmelcher, I think it's the last round 1 game to be played

[GambleGamble]

FIRST ONE DONE!!!

...in group 3

losing my last 3 matches 3-2 (blew lead in 3rd round) 4-1 (41 pt loss) and 4-1 (87 pt loss including a rnd 1 loss by 7 pts, and a disaster of a 2nd round) really sucked the life out of my score and probably relegated me to 3rd group again... still fun though

Wow the race for top two in group 3 is so close. How are you gonna break ties curtains? Head to head scores? What if that's a tie?

I changed it a touch to eliminate a sudden death game in all groups except for Group 1, since I don't want that possibility slowing down the season. Below is the info:


7. If there is a tie for first place at the end of the season, the following tiebreakers go into effect:

1. Head to head score (ie player A wins one match 4-1, player B wins the other 3-2, then Player A wins this tiebreak)
2. Total number of league match wins

If there is a tie we will use the first two tiebreakers, but if it’s still tied after that then whoever had the highest seed before the season, will remain as the higher seed for the next season. (except any player who is playing their first season will lose on tiebreak, if the first 2 tiebreakers are tied, to an experienced player, regardless of seed number). If there is still a tie for first in Group 1 after the first two tiebreakers have been used, then there will be a special one match playoff to determine the winner.

i obv wanna move up to group 2 for pride but all be dammed if i'm gonna stand a chance against some of those guys...

[Burdzthewurd]

Not sure why Mikhail had two 4-1s on me, I swept him in the 2nd game, should be 4-1 him and 5-0 me, corrected score sheet, can provide screenshot if necessary

[curtains]

btw the standings are slightly off in Group 3+4. You can go to standingcheck to see that, because if the number at the bottom of each group is not .2, it means something is off. I'd appreciate anyone in those groups trying to figure out what the problem is. Usually it's someone forgetting to put in a score for their opponent, or something of that nature.

for pride? yeah, your pride will get pretty well smashed when you move up to the next group and get dominated. i'm looking forward to getting my pride back in season 3.

I have wkdthree going to the final four in my office bracket.

Also that is going to be a pretty stacked portion of the loser's bracket.

[IcyHotMonkey]

I challenged most everyone for the first round in the second season, however few challenged me for the second game.

I have two games going on with gaskellio, one on round 3 (I won first two) and one on round 2 (I won first)... however it's at the 'More than 7 days ago' point. What happens if he doesn't play in time and the game cancels?

[Yeti]

relax imo

[GambleGamble]

Totally forgot about losers bracket in tourney
