I'm going to be sending out some Round 2 games soon (triples), it is just taking a little longer to try to match up players with teammates they've not won or played with in this event.
I am making one revision to the event just because it seemed very odd that it was done this way. In the quote below, the original TO envisioned that the players finishing with the top 6 point totals after 3 rounds would play each other to 5 wins, therefore determining the winner of the event. I plan to keep this format in place to decide the champ.
But if I read it correctly, he also had positions 7-12, 13-18, and 19-24 playing sets to 5 wins as well to determine their final position in the event. I'm going to assume, that if you are in 17th place, you are not really going to be all that excited to play at least 7 or 8 games to find out that you could finish as high as 13th place. I could be wrong - so let me know if you really want to do this - if enough people say yes to playing those lower rank games, I'll take a poll to determine if I will run them. For the time being, I do not plan to have those games played, as I personally think they would be meaningless.
Round 1: Doubles, 4-Team Games
Once an individual reaches 5 wins the round is over.
Round 2: Triples, 2-Team Games
Once an individual reaches 5 wins the round is over.
Round 3: Quads, 2-Team Games
Once an individual reaches 4 wins the round is over.
Final Round: Free For All!
The final round will be based on points scored in previous rounds. This is how points are determined:
Round 1: 3 Points Per Win
Round 2: 2 Points Per Win
Round 3: 1 Point Per Win
The 6 with the most points will play each other to 5 wins, then the next six, and so on. In case of ties that will determine game placement, which there should be quite a few, there will be standard random games played between those who tied.
