I'll be rescuing this tournament and finishing it. Hopefully it won't cause any problems as I'm one of the 4 remaining teams. After I get privileges from Lindax, I'll take a look at how far we are. if I remember correctly then round 8 should be done so I can collect those points. We'll make a fast roll call, let people make replacements when needed and then we'll keep playing round 9.

I was thinking that we'll play until round 15 (including) and if we still don't have a winner after that then we'll figure out a way how to determine winner team? Play a bunch of games and winner of most games wins? We need to see it, depends how many teams we'll be having left.

Finals bracket:

[amazzony]

I haven't received privileges yet (Lx is busy, he'll get to it as soon as possible) but I've set up 2nd post to give us a short overview where we stand right now. It seems that all 4 teams have active captains who have received a message from me to check their team and confirm their wish to keep participating in the tournament with the rules posted. If anybody wants to make replacements then now is the time to do it by posting the names of replaced and new player to this topic.

Edit. Not long after finishing this message I got privileges Nevertheless, I won't start next round before I've got confirmation from all team captains that they want to continue and won't make any changes (or post replacement player's name).

Hippos are also in, just in case saying WPBRJ, I've made changes to your team and I've also sent a message to elephants' captain. If I don't get an answer in the next couple of days then we'll continue with 3 remaining teams

[GROND 2cd.]

I_refuse will replace andreas1977 and we will kick some buds before the end! And yes - we are still in !!

[amazzony]

Glad to see all teams continuing I'll set up first games later today when I get home from work.

[amazzony]

First games by me have been sent out (round 9). Maps are drawn randomly with the help of list randomiser of www.random.org but games are made according to schedule where everybody plays everybody once in a round.

Please don't miss your invites

[amazzony]

All round 9 games started with first attempt, thanks!

[amazzony]

Round 9
1 game out of 6 has finished. I'll be updating scoreboard when all games are done.

[amazzony]

Round 9 results
Hippo +5
Penguin -5
Parrot +5
Elephant -5

Round 10
All 4 teams are still alive with no threat to be eliminated this round. Invites will be sent out shortly.

[amazzony]

Round 9 results
I messed up teams (mixed Elephant and Parrot), therefore scoring is a bit different. Thanks to GROND 2cd. for noticing it!
Hippo +5
Penguin -5
Elephant +5
Parrot -5
Therefore, overall score after round 9 is also different which puts Parrot in danger of being eliminated in round 10:
1. Hippo -> 45
2. Elephant -> 26
3. Penguin -> 17
4. Parrot -> 8

Round 10
All 6 games are active and fortunately games are set up correctly but the team names are a bit off here and there (Parrot and Elephant mixed up).

[amazzony]

Round 10 results
Hippo +5
Penguin -5
Elephant +5
Parrot -5
Overall score after round 10 is:
1. Hippo -> 50
2. Elephant -> 31
3. Penguin -> 12
4. Parrot -> 3

Round 11
I've created games and invites will be sent out shortly. Penguin and Parrot are in danger of being eliminated this round.

[amazzony]

Round 11
All 6 games have started nicely and are currently either in round 2 or 3.

[amazzony]

Round 11 results
Hippo +5
Penguin +5
Elephant +5
Parrot -15
Overall score after round 11 is:
1. Hippo -> 55
2. Elephant -> 36
3. Penguin -> 17
4. Parrot -> -12 [eliminated!]

Round 12
I really didn't think through what would happen if one team gets eliminated because 3 teams round robin just can't be played with everybody playing 3 games per round. Therefore, I've come up with a solution which I find the fairest from all options. Instead of 3 games per round, all teams play 4 games. And, instead of +/-5 points per game, 4 points move from one team to another. That way overall points somebody can earn/lose per round is 16 (it was 15) and everybody plays the same amount of games. I hope it works out for everybody.

Parrot (WPBRJ, Smasher_123, pearljamrox2) team has been eliminated, 3 teams remaining in the competition, setup changed a bit.

Next games will be created and sent out shortly.
