Perhaps a couple extra days this round? Dubber and I are currently at 50+ turns; not like we've been idle.

Vermont
I'm totally down with the idea to give you guys more time, because the tourney is about playing games, not about having them judged. However, it is kinda discouraging for those who finished their games in time... and rules, even overly strict, are made to be followed, not to be altered on every occasion.
Given all this, I guess I'll be giving you guys only a few extra USA daylight hours, and I will be posting my judgment on unfinished games later today (in, say, 12 hours from now on). Please do try to make as much progress as possible.

sadly, I've found that work started blocking ravenblack this round  the great gods of the circle wept. (Yes, I know I could use a proxy to avoid it- but I don't really want to piss them off.  ) |

(It never felt so hard to judge those games and I swear I don't want to do this ever again =\)
I posted my judgment on all unfinished games. I updated standings and calculated tiebreakers as best as I could. Please kindly double-check my math and point me out if I did any mistakes.
Tiebreakers for places 4-5:
==
3 freesoul's opponents - Maven 19 Wider 7 ArHan 18
4 hermit's opponents - twobee 13 MurOllavan 6 Kenton 7
==
Tiebreakers for places 6-7:
==
1 MikeEB MurOllavan 6
12 Salvor Ourjake 18
==
If I haven't made any significant mistakes, in top4 Ellipsis plays vs Freesoul, and xade plays vs Vermont. But please don't start your games until I come back tomorrow and double check standings =)

Bio. I think I speak for all of us when I say THANK YOU for all that you do to make this happen. It is not always easy nor fun but you pull it off in style.

And congrats to Ellipsis for only dropping two games in four rounds. Pretty impressive.
(I of course had to check to see if one of those was against me.)

You definitely speak for me- Thank you Bio- you made some tough, but ultimately fair calls. For the record- you were completely right in my game. Even if I wiggle free from the FoD- things are looking dire for me!  V.Man- sucks that we can't meet in the final mate! Ah well, at least someone from the Isle will be representing! |

There doesn't seems to be anything wrong about top half of standings at least. So yeah, guys, please start semi-final games:
Ellipsis - Freesoul
Xade - Vermont
First to 2 wins proceeds to finals.
Good luck.
P.S. 2do: update standings, check tiebreakers in the bottom half of standings, check Rookie and Breakthrough awards.

By the way, I think this is the first time I've ever made a tourney final four. Even though I'm playing my warlocks nemesis, I'm looking forward to it!

Standings updated, tiebreakers calculated. Rookie of the year award goes to Maven - he is the top finisher of people with ELO<=1700. However, it is really weird to call Maven a 'rookie', and next time we really should re-word it =)Honourable mentions to ArHan and OurJake, who fell short just 1 point off the award (and they were 1 ELO point short of Maven at the start as well). Breakthrough of the year winner will be declared after top-4 plays their games. Currently Hermit has the best expected\actual finish difference (+4), but Freesoul can even it by finishing in top2 or even beat it by winning the whole thing ) Meanwhile, first semi-final games are about to start: Ellipsis - Freesoul: games.ravenblack.net/warlocks?num=76701Xade - Vermont: games.ravenblack.net/warlocks?num=76703 |
