not to complain because the games are staying interesting, but mine vs Ktafin and Herc are going somewhat slowly. Okay, this says posted yesterday, but I'm not in any games against ourjake in this round... Also, just for the record, even with the slow start I've basically finished most of my games on time this round... dismally, but who's counting, right? ;D Edit: Apparently the one game I'm doing decently in is the only one I haven't come close to finishing yet... *beaver house*...(*won't let me say the naughty word)

Ourjake For tourney purposes you game matters only until T29. The rest is up to you and your ELO.

Just noticed, how is Nawglan a Rookie? He's been here about as long as I have (early 2003) as I recall? (or is "Rookie" one of those arbitrary "based on ELO" thingys?)

Also, dang, Dubber (Mr. 9) has the ...en'-ist line up this time: BioLogIn (Mr. 22) Xade (Mr. 20) Salvor (Mr. 19) Though, if all three would throw their games to each of their opponents, Mr. 9 could possibly be in 2nd place...

Some observations on standings: MikeEB and BioLogIn have to win 2 games of 3 to secure top4. Winning 1 game almost guarantees top4 too - even if Succat and Freesoul win everything, we will be even at 25 with possibly better tiebreakers.
For Xade and Salvor winning 3/3 secures top4. However, xade plays vs salvor, which means at least 1 of them will have to lose points in this round... which is extremely handy for Succat, Freesoul and Toyotami - those three have to win everything to have a shot at top4 (well, theoretically winning 2/3 is enough for them, but that requires Salvor to lose to syd AND Dubber...)
zugzwang and possibly Nawglan and Dubber have slight chance of making it in after winning everything, but given current standings this would be nigh unlikely.

Also, Dubber, you're Mr. 11... and yes, Nawglan is a "rookie" based on ELO. If someone can suggest better "title", I'd welcome that.

heh. Ya. Without having a sure fire way to determine age of account, ELO is the only way to determine "rookieness".
For myself, how about the title "Too Lazy To Learn Strategy". 8)

Can I claim the Rookie 2009 title now, or do I need to wait until the end of the tournament? (I'm currently up 10 on Nawglan, the next highest Rookie) Some observations on standings: MikeEB and BioLogIn have to win 2 games of 3 to secure top4. Winning 1 game almost guarantees top4 too - even if Succat and Freesoul win everything, we will be even at 25 with possibly better tiebreakers. Comparing my tiebreakers to Succat's, I have a worst case scenerio of ( yevaud, #Syd, Maven) vs. (#heraclius, Xade, Nawglan) (0 + 18 + 15* =) 33 < (9 + 26* + 12 = ) 47 So I have a guaranteed top-4 slot if I beat Freesoul. My tiebreakers vs. Freesoul are less conclusive. (Syd, Dubber, Maven) vs. (Toyotami, Saypin, Succat) (9 + 9 + 11) + a potential 27 ?< (15 + 10 + 16) + a guaranteed 6. *my tiebreakers vs. succat don't matter unless Succat wins vs. Maven and Xade has a higher score than I do

MikeEB So far it looks like you'll have both 'Rookie' and 'Breakthrough'... and maybe 'Champion' as well :=) But while mathematically you've already secured Rookie, awards will have to wait till the tourney is over. Who knows, maybe we will have to DQ you without prizes? )))
