Idea: Battle Royal setup, each round the weakest score gets eliminated(maybe rand when there's a tie so a single one goes). It's pretty beta stuff but people would really need to alter whatever their goto strategy with regard to DC/tourneys/timed is so might be interesting.
Hard to pull off but maybe with capped signups and/or 24h time per round, it'd be doable.

Re-match of last final right in the first round of random 3!

Yeah, I also noticed both pairs playing a best of 100 can play each other in the random three as well, good times.

I recalled you mentioning playing the game during the olympics.
VilleI received the BR SS from kokiri, and he has done a very impressive job with it. Both scoring systems have been implemented and seem to work. Now we'll just have to wait for some scores to have it in actual use. Splitting the BR in parts should be really easy to do. Anyone have thoughts on whether to just do first 50 and last 50, or 1-25, 26-50, 51-75, 76-100 as well?

I actually already did yesterday. Was supposed to double check them before posting, but I guess I can let people report back if something is wrong instead of doing the work myself.
LINK TO A COPY OF SS WITH TEST RUN POINTS
So as the link says, that is a copy version, so don't worry about screwing things up. However there shouldn't be any need to change anything other than the orders in the sortable sheet. For those who don't know how to do this, when you move your mouse cursor over a column header (A, B, C etc.), an arrow will appear on the right, like this:
Click on the arrow and choose Z -> A (or A -> Z) and it sorts all columns based on that column to give the players and scores in correct order for the data you want to. Simple as that.

Never before felt so undeserving to be in a final.
Cliffs on what happened below.
Going into rack 7 things didn't look great, but at least ok. So need likely 64 in rack 8 to have a decent board.
Bink! Wait wut.

Not sure what you exactly have in mind with a tutorial, but the instructions/walkthrough could at least be made to include more information than currently. Maybe something like:
PART1: ~Current instructions
PART2: ~Current walkthrough
End that with what it is atm "Now it's your turn! Good Luck! Play!"; and add: "If you need further help after trying some games, check out parts 3 and 4."
PART3: Further general tips.
PART4: An example game using the basic setup to show how to make a setup work in practice.
PART3 for example something like below.
The game is called Triplechain. This means only your best three chains count. As such it is rarely a good idea to spend resources on playing all four possible chains. Choose three and commit to them. In some situations committing strongly to only two chains is preferable. Either way, you should always be looking for ways to 'snake' at least two of your chains. The less dice you require in later racks to complete a 'snake', the higher your chances are for being able to do that. This means setting up dice correctly in early racks is crucial.
In the image below, 6s represent all the squares that are important for the chain dice for the first four racks.
This means the center zone and squares right around it are the most important. But not only that, you need to be playing the dice in a way that allows them to be played without blocking one another later on.
1s represent the standard positions where they should be played early. Of course, there are rarely eight of them (3-4 most likely for first four racks), so rest will be replaced by extra chain dice or dice of the chain you aren't playing. 2s represent the standard positions where they should be played early on.
Go play some more!

I think what you posted is great for people who've stuck around long enough to want to learn how to play well, but I'm concerned about the people who show up for the first time and leave before they really give the game a chance. It's all pretty close to moot if there are no new traffic sources though.

Gonna "cheat" and complete it in Advanced mode though, likely get it done in one attempt that way.
