Tournament full!

Gandolf the Grey has failed to accept several invitations without any warning whatsoever. He will be replaced by Flirtz. Edgeone could not accept at this time as well, but he warned me he had zero free slots at the moment and pledged to join as soon as he can.

when is the second round?

Today! Sorry, I've been absent for a very long time.

my team is RCL

Updated rounds and standings at the end of round 3:

I think you have the win/loss wrong for my game vs edgeone ... he never joined, yet you have him as winning?!?

Thanks.

Thanks.

I think you're seeing it wrong, mate. I have it 0-1 for you, Tulsa, not Boston (Edgeone).

You do have 2 wins and 1 loss. You lost on the 2nd round against Copernicus (Madrid).

You're showing me as 3 played, 3 lost, however I won one game, so it's 2 lost, 1 won.

Also, Colorado didn't join the round 4 game: Game 14957672

Yup, you're right. I posted your game results well but messed up your standings by accident. I'm sorry. It's taken care of! And yes, I'm aware of that. I'll drop those games as well.


Actual standings:

Round 5 is about to start.




* - did not join the game
** - Is out of the tournament due to inactivity

The divisional rounds have ended. Now we will start the intra-conference rounds. 1st, 2nd and 3rd of a division will play the 4th 5th and 6th of another division. This will last for 3 more rounds before the inter-conference rounds.

Round 6: Denver and Madrid did not join.

Why keep putting the players that are out of the tournament in games? There are 5....can you just rematch some games so people do not get automatic wins?

Not really, mate. If I were to rematch, I would have to keep doing that all thoughout the tournament, specially in the big ones. I would be more prone to make mistakes and it would transform the tournament structure into something much weirder than my usual tournaments. I prefer to always apply the same rule and not make modifications. Sometimes it will help some people, but hey... Conquer Club IS a game largely influenced by luck. So are my tournaments. You might be awarded the arguable luck of winning a game because your opponent is not around.

It's not very fair, I know, but it's the simpler way and by far the way less prone to mistakes.

Round 8 is on it's way!

Hey JohnAarson,

I'm listed as 3rd in my division, but I'm tied with The Nederlands and I beat him head to head. Should I not be in 2nd place?

How do you have me behind The Nederlands? We are tied in the division and I beat him head to head.

Hey there lanceeee. You are correct, the positions are mixed. But don't worry, because: 1) If you notice, the last field - pos(div) - notifies me that you ended the divisional games above The Netherlands with the same points (AKA you won the game between you two). And 2) this is only for 7 played games. I already have it updated in my excel file for the 8th round and in here the mistake is corrected. I will post the update now.

i have no body to play in game 15137315 they dropped out

And what about the fact that Denver only played 5 out of 9 games? The other games must have been won by forfeits. That's 4 wins by forfeits, against my to 2 wins by forfeits.

I think I should be in 2nd position.

Well, not quite. You have won the following games on which your opponent did not show up: Colorado (R4), Boston (R6) and North Korea (R8). Next round you will play Toronto. They are out of the competition. That will make 4 wins without the opponent showing up.
Denver did not play 4 of the games, that's true. But one of those games, it was Denver who did not join, so they lost that one. They won 3 out of those 4 games. And they won 4 out of the other 6 games. In your case, your 3 (soon to be 4) games that did not occur were all a win on your behalf by forfeits. Also, I have reviewed carfully both of your games. In played matches, you have 3 wins and 4 losses. He has 4 wins and 2 losses. And if both of you were tied in points, he would still be ahead, since he won the game between the both of you.
That being said, I'm sorry, but I think the current standings are actually right.


I am very aware that the choice of some players playing more games than others because of forfeits is far from being perfect. However, for me it is the way that seems to be the best, since I don't want to keep adding new people in the middle of tournaments because of some players' inactivity at random times during tournaments.
