AutoTournament Question

by **Lindax** on Sat Jan 11, 2014 5:10 pm

I know TDs don't run these, but maybe somebody can answer my question:

I joined the "High Rankers Classic" Tournament: http://www.conquerclub.com/player.php?m ... y_id=10123

We played 5 (six player) games in round 1 and I won one of the games. To my surprise I am eliminated from the tournament, while others with a score of 1 went on to round 2. How does this work? On what basis (calculation or whatever) are players eliminated or moved to round 2?

Thanks in advance,

I think the answer is on this page http://www.conquerclub.com/public.php?mode=tournaments5. I've copied the relevant part:

Scoring
By default scoring is based on number of Game Wins over the entire tournament. However, individual Rounds may Reset the scores, so that the scoring will begin again from that round. When the first round of the Tournament is seeded by score, the player's score at time of joining the tournament is used in that round only.

Ties in Score shall be broken by the following rules, applied in order:

The cumulative number of Game rounds required to win the games they have won in the tournament (winning in less rounds is better)
The number of games that they did not cause to be abandoned
The order in which the player joined the tournament (first player to join wins)

Thank you, at least that gives a better idea of how it works.

I have talked to bigWham about those situations and right now, the autos kind of fail in that regard. I'm not sure tournaments like that should be ran, because there's not a fair (IMO) tiebreaker system.

Yeah, good point.
