Since all games are completed now, do we have a rough eta for the start of the tournament?

Let’s say 24 hrs or so.

Ok boys, let's do this

Excited to get this going :)

Are we ready?

i am

I think AE meant 24h with 2 excused NMR

Yeah, I mean this is a pretty straightforward seeding and then we are making the games. I think we all could setup the brackets. Dragging this out though is...not sure what the hold up is.

I think there are a few ties that needs to be resolved

Sorry. Life has gotten rather busy this past week. I will figure out seeding within the next couple of days, but I can’t promise when exactly.

Alright. Group winners are Mittag, Coffee, umble, and Superwerty. Badivan is fifth seed regardless. AE, Maucat, and bsiper are the other group runners-up.

User points, SCs, fastest finish
Mittag 18, 102, 1963
Coffee 18, 102, 1963
Umble 15, 95
Superwerty 15, 94
badivan1 14
AE 12, 88
bsiper 12, 86, 1962
Maucat 12, 86, 1963

I will give Mittag the nod for the #1 seed to avoid a rematch in the QFs.

So your matchups are as follows. The person on the left should make the games. Please PM about unrated/rated and phase lengths.

Mittag vs Maucat
Coffee vs bsiper
Umble vs AE
Superwerty vs badivan

YOU ARE PLAYING TWO GAMES. One as each power. If there is a 1-1 tie, you play two more games. If there is a 2-2 tie after four, you play a fifth game with random power assignments.

I assume we agree between us the parameters of the games..

Correct. If you can’t agree, make it unrated with 48 hour phases.

Umble v AE

gameID=44193

Is everybody underway?

gameID=44184
gameID=44183

Coffee v bsiper is underway

Short answer is yes. Games are all running.

Brilliant! Now I can lose 22-5 in peace.

We'll see but no reason to prolong the agony if so lol. Let's resolve these turns and turn off the life support.

Split the first two with Coffee, speaking of prolonging agony lol

we gonna have another set of games?

You should. Refer to previous post regarding the sequence of up to five games.

@Bsiper can you make the games this time?

will do!

Badivan conceded both games.

We split the second set as well. A fifth game with random power assignments will be created, although it may have to wait after our game in the Nexus tournament to conclude (we got paired up there as well)

NATO always win?
