Geez, two and a quarter wins a round doesn't quite make it to the top 4...seems lke anyone that wants to get there needs to win a three bagger at some point.
Being stranded on 13 points i'm interested which field i'll randomly go to. Up to 15 where Xade and 12 lurk, giving me the chance to hop over one, or down to 12 country where Awall, Vermont and Maven sit licking their lips (allowing me to perhaps step over the carcass, as it were, of a defeated top tierer) . Does it matter that I've already played Vermont?
With no disrespect intended, RedSpectra and 12 (who is that guy? Pig?) have been killing. Xade and Bio, no surprises. Looks like you will need about 26/27 points to qualify? Anybody wanna math it out? So far at half way the lowest qualifying score is 15, but the top dogs all gotta duke it out So anyone with more than 8/9 points is still in the running (Except in the case of a draw, coming from behind may not be the best?)
Watch out for the second coming of Succat and the Titch (only good thing is they might have to tackle each other to come through). Maven Awall, Vermont and myself sit waiting to pounce...
Love this tournament format, it's super interesting and fair.

Toyo
Swiss pairings start from the top, so I'll be first to search for opponents. So I'm definitely playing VS Redspectra and you (since I already met 12 and xade) and VS 1 random 12-points. Then Redspectra will get to get xade and 12. 12 and xade get each other and you. The later is a subject to change as people will finish their round 2 games... So the field of above-12 points will look like this:
BioLogIn - RedSpectra, Toyotami, some-12-points
RedSpectra - BioLogIn, 12, xade
12 - RedSpectra, xade, Toyotami
xade - RedSpectra, 12, Toyotami
Toyotami - BioLogIn, 12, xade
...unless there will be no way to pair all guys below correctly... which is very unlikely IMO.
As you can see we don't have much random here already, but that is natural given we already played 6 rounds of swiss with only 25 participants.
"12 (who is that guy? Pig?)"
Hmm, nice guess indeed. Given he
1) said he was near 2k once before retirement
2) is very rusty
3) but still capable of playing solid
Pig sounds sound... but I don't really don't know anything about Pig save from Slartucker's and Tali storied. Given there was ELO already implemented when Pig was around. Slartucker, can you please clear up on this?

Pig largely predates me and I'm not sure how close to 2k he ever got. I doubt it's Pig though. The other masters all broke 2000. The combination of being near 2000, retired and a bit rusty, and also making the comments 12 had is a tough one. I can only think of Surial, Asgardian, and theLEGION as possibilities.
Where did 12 say he was near 2k?

Where did 12 say he was near 2k? iirc, I think 12's profile said that back when he was first starting up? |

Man, I hate my pc at home. Looks like it's the powersupply that's freaking out. Checked the voltage output on it and it's low on all channels. And, just noticed the fan isn't running either. If the link is down, be patient. I try to keep it up running as much as possible. Mebby next paycheck. *crosses fingers* |

oh ya there it is! but you couldn't find that before you closed off round one eh.. some tourney Again, Bio said he looked, but it's not our job to report your matches for you. Do you know how much work it would be if nobody reported, and we dug through every single game they've played in 2 weeks? That's hours of time that can be circumvented by minutes of effort on your part. You are the ones who benefit from the tourney, we are volunteering. You understand that, right? Without Bio there would be no tourney at all. So do you actually want to continue in the tournament, or not? Since you failed to play 2 of your 3 matches in this round you're likely no longer a "top contender". |
