Sub, have you thought about making the 3rd tourney a free for all? It would be pretty cool to have 1 set of points from the DC, 1 from the monthly challenge, and the 3rd from a free for all.
DC - 25/18/15 etc for the top 10 finishers in the month (not each day)
Free for all - 25/18/15/ etc for the top 10 finishers (by wins, so no need to keep stats)
Tourney - pretty easy now to manipulate the points to make it fair
I like this. Quite a bit actually
Part 1.
The 30 DCs for November. All as discussed.
Part 2. The 30 Game FFA Winter Classic Bonus Point Tourney.
There are a couple of FFA problems, but I can easily work around them.
1. We want the number of games to be the same as the DC, so that would be 30 games for November. I can't set an FFA for 30 games, but I can set it for 50. I will just do a 50 game set up and advise people that only the first 30 games will count.
2. 30 days is the default end date for an FFA , and I can't change it. But I will announce it on Oct 28 with 3 days for registration, It can Start on Nov 1 and boom... it will end right when I need the stats. So, people can take all 30 days if they want. This will add some suspense too, as the results won’t be known until the end (whether we want them sooner or not..lol)
I can do the stats the same way nails does and that I do for the Battle Royale and convert top 10 in points to 25/18/15 etc.. Arjun, you suggested just wins but points are fine. I can do the stats.
Or, do we want just wins for variance?????
Part 3. The November Monthly Championship (with bonus points)
I will run this in early November.
Arjun, can you suggest a fair way to distribute the tourney points. I am thinking we should award 8 spots based on the structure of the tourney.
1st 25
2nd 18
2 people at T3rd get 14 points each?? (15 + 12/2 = 14) 14 seems high..maybe 12, or is 14 Ok
4 people T5th get 7 points each??? (10+8+6+4 /4 =7)??
Thoughts on points here...Arjun/Bandwagon….others..???
Once that is sorted I think we are locked in on a format. How about we call this puppy the
Winter Classic (Triple Crown) Tourney.
NOTE: I was not a fan of 25/18/15 etc system for one month of stats because I felt/feel it favours the higher rated players by the built-in over- rewarding at the top. But, now that we have 60 games in total, I actually think that totaling and combining the actual DC points (for example 222 + 165 = 387) would actually favour the higher rated players even more. More games = less variance = more typical results for everyone. So, I am good with the 25/18/15 etc for both the 30 DCs and 30FFA’s as it seems not to favour higher rated players as much as totaling 60 games worth of points would, even though 25/18/15 is top loaded.
That said, I do wish there was something a little less top heavy than 25/18/15 etc, but if you guys think it is good then I am good.
Thanks for all the feedback/suggestions/revisions…etc.
Let's sort the tourney points and close the book on this one.
