I've recorded a handful of newly finished games and have sent out the final reminders to a couple of players before we start considering forfeits for a couple of games.

There are no new games ready to be played after the completed games, so please be patient, especially if you are non-premium and have just finished a game. I can't create the new games until your opponents have finished theirs so I know who to match you up against.

I will post the new and updated brackets later today after I have a chance to get home.

Regards, Optimus Prime

Decepticons Bracket - Game 8

Frenzy defeats StarScream

I had a question about Game 9 (doesn't involve me).

Where does the winner (GW9) go? Obviously the loser is eliminated. Does G9W go to 13 or 15?

If GW9 goes to 13 then they face the 50% chance of going against the team that beat them in game 5/6 (one game in between).

If GW9 goes to 15 then they face the 25% chance of going against the team that beat them in game 1/2/3/4 (two games in between).

Either way, which is the other team to go to Game 13 or 15? Or does GW9 go to 13 and then GW13 goes to 15?

EDIT: I think I just figured it out.

GW9 goes to 13. GW13 goes to 15. GW15 goes to 17. GW17 goes to 18. GW18 goes to 19 (vs GW12 - who's unbeaten and been waiting for an opp). 20 and 21 are only if GW18 wins 19 and 20 respectively.

At least there's no physical toll from playing a lot of games, but there is a mental one. If a team were to lose their first two games (be in Game 9) and still win the bracket - they'd have to play 9 total games [winning 7]. Meanwhile a team who won their first three games, could win the bracket in as few as 4 games.

You've got the basic idea of it down right Aerial Attack. It is a lot easier to understand if you can see the whole bracket at once, but due to the size limits in the forums and the size of a triple-elimination bracket it is impossible for me to show it all at once.

Just think of it this way. It pays off DEARLY to win your first few games and not to lose them.

Update:

I have updated and refreshed all of the brackets for each division. The Autobots are lagging a bit behind on gameplay, so don't be too hard on them. They are just taking a little longer to play their games is all.

There are several new games that need to be given out, so I will be doing that now.

I have just finished sending out the new PMs for new games. Please join them as soon as you can and don't forget to join with the proper partner.

After that last game, Ramulus is waiting for Nightglider

Optimus Prime · Post by **Optimus Prime** » Mon Sep 24, 2007 1:11 pm

Sorry for the delay folks, I've been sick with strep for 5 days, I'm trying to get things back online soon.

Optimus Prime · Post by **Optimus Prime** » Mon Sep 24, 2007 5:43 pm

I've recorded a bunch of completed games. I will do my best to send out reminder PMs to players to join up in new games that are available to them now that the others have finished.

I am sorry for the delay this last week in keeping things running. I've been very sick. I will try to get the updated brackets up soon. If you want to PM me for specific game information, feel free to do so.

Regards, Optimus Prime

We've started 910476 without your PM so don't worry about it.
We just followed your chart and got the password from the group that was already waiting for us.

Cheers

Hope you feel better.

Decepticons Bracket

Game 11 (#910460)

Star Scream defeats Blackout

Optimus Prime · Post by **Optimus Prime** » Wed Sep 26, 2007 4:58 pm

Alright, I've recorded all of the finished games and will be getting the new updated brackets up soon.

I have also sent out reminder PMs to the teams and players who have yet to join their new games. If they have not joined by the time I check back in a day or so, the games will be considered forfeits.

Regards, Optimus Prime

Optimus Prime · Post by **Optimus Prime** » Wed Sep 26, 2007 5:36 pm

Alright, the new brackets are now up and visible. If you can't see them please refresh with F5 and that should do the trick.

All players and teams should know which games they are supposed to be in and if you don't, please check your inbox because I have sent you a PM notifying you of which game you should be in.

Anyone who does not join their game in a timely manner will be considered a forfeit.

Regards, Optimus Prime

Is there a significance in the colors for the game numbers in each bracket? I'm guessing Red means game complete, Blue means active, Orange means waiting for players, and Black means yet to be created?

Also, in the decepticons bracket - you accidentally put Blackout into Game 17 instead of 15 (still needs to earn way into 17)

Finally, I realize we are quite a ways into the tourney so it doesn't really matter - but, how did you determine seedings/match-ups at the beginning?

Whoops, I will have to fix that and put them in Game 15. I'll do that in just a little bit.

Red does mean the game is complete, Black means the game has been created and players have joined but it is not active yet. Blue means the game is active and Orange means a reminder PM has been sent to the players and it will soon be considered as a forfeit. Mostly the colors are just there to aid me personally in keeping track of things, but I can see how they are helpful to all of you as well.

The match-ups were completely random at the start. I didn't feel like seeding people. I just used a list randomizer.
