I base my rankings off of
Wins / Losses
Points
Squad ranking
Strength of Schedule
Tactics used to win (turned a loss to a win, etc)

So, for instance, Ultrastar beat McNizzle in a lame fashion, but it was all that he could do to win. He than smashed the Vong squad. So 2 wins (best for that category)
one a 3 pt win (best for that)
one a 2 pt win (not best, but he had to do that to win, so he gets high points for that end)
Squad Ranking (highest for the tournament)
Strength of Schedule (upper level)


Lets look at TINT (my #2)

2 wins (best)
both 3 points (best)
Squad Ranking (high, but not highest)
Strength of Schedule (probably middle of the pack, Jason's squad is not top tier but he is an expert player. I suck at playing my squad but I feel the squad is great, so they kind of cancel each other out)
Tactics used to win he is a top top player, so his tactics are always at the top.

DeathsBaine (my #3)
2 wins
Squad Ranking (Obi-Kin, Mace, Barriss, and R2 hmmmm hard to tell really, but seems to be above average)
1 was a no show from the opponent (would have been a fun game too)
1 was a 200-0 blow out of a person who was in top 5.
Strength of Schedule (middle, one was a no show, one was a top 5)
tactics used, well a 200-0 win is the highest tactics around against a high level opponent.

My #4 Darth O

1 win 1 loss out of all the 1-1 people he ranks the highest because
Squad Ranking is very high, his maneuver to get around my scrubs and lock the door, and also to get behind my army was sneaky, ballsy, and worth it. good tactics on that end. His loss was a close battle. strength of schedule has been a tad above average imo.

etc etc

Were you out of gambit by then? Should it be 245?

Here is to round 3!

Naarkon I think there is no way around us playing in round 3.

I was still in gambit...but you don't score gambit after the game is over...and the game ends when you achieve the win condition, which is eliminating all of your opponent's pieces. So no gambit should ever be scored on the final round of the game, unless the win condition has not been achieved by either player before the end of that round.

At least, that's how I've always understood these things.

As best as I can figure, this is what will happen next round based on all the variable results of the Spry vs Frenchy match

Name record (tournament score) - opponents combined records (Opponents combined tournament score)

Ranking:
Tournament score
Record
Head to head
Strength of schedule (opponents combined records)

Note - opponents combined tournament score is not used in SoS. I just put it there for funsies


Spry 1-0 (3) - 2-1 (6) +???
Frenchy 1-0 (3) - 2-1 (6) + ???

Tint 2-0 (6) - 1-3 (5)
DB 2-0 (6) - 1-3 (3)
Ultra 2-0 (5) - 2-2 (6)
Kezza 2-0 (5) - 1-1 (4)
UJ 1-1 (4) - 3-1 (10)
Pnktd 1-1 (4) - 2-2 (7)
Darth O 1-1 (4) - 1-3 (5)
Jim 1-1 (4) - 1-3 (5)
McNizzle 1-1 (3) - 2-0 (5)
Shmi15 1-1 (3) - 3-1 (10)
UShmi 1-1 (3) - 2-2 (6)
Caedus 1-1 (3) - 1-2 (4) + Spry's record after game
FlyArrow 1-1 (3) - 1-2 (3) + Frenchy's record after game
Timmerb123 0-2 (2) - 2-2 (8)
Jen'ari 0-2 (1) - 3-1 (10)
Naarkon 0-2 (1) - 2-2 (6)
DRattle 0-2 (0) - 3-1 (9)

Based on this, we can figure out some next match scenarios.


*this is all just educated guesses, I could easily be wrong at any point*



If winner of Spry/Frenchy gets 3 pts, then the winner plays TINT, and Deaths Bane plays Ultrastar

If the winner gets 2 pts, TINT plays Deaths Bane and winner plays UltraStar

kezza vs UrbanJedi

If the loser gets a point, they will play PNkDT2, and Darth O will face Darth Jim, shmi vs mcnizzle

If the loser does not score a point, the McNizzle faces Darth O and Darth Jim faces PNKDT2, shmi15 vs the loser


urbanshmi vs Caedus if spry wins and vs Flying Arrow if Frenchy wins. Timmerb123 plays the other

Jen'ari plays Naarkon

Rattlehead gets the bye

Looks like you'll play either TimmerB or UrbanShmi. I'll play the other one. Depends on who wins between spry and Etienne.

Frenchy called me and said he can;t play until tomorrow so it looks like tomorrow evening will be the green light.

Shouldn't be locked. People can wander around a real-life tournament and watch, and this should be as close to a real life tournament as we can get.

absolutely not!
that crazy talk and cheap and dirty. it is not a part of friendly competition, especially if someone is excited about the match and wanting to catch a quick look. Shutting people out is one path to the dark side. I was going to watch it on Saturday night had they played and it would have been offensive to me if they did not let me watch tbh.

Absolutely the players right to lock a room. Both have to agree to have it unlocked.

Everyone in Swiss rounds at a regular tournament plays at the same time, and sitting and watching someone else's full game isn't possible.

This game is for the players, not spectators. If both players agree to it being open then that is perfectly fine, but otherwise I support Spry and any other players right to a locked room.


The fact that people are getting bent out of shape about it upsets me. No player "owes it to you" to allow you to sit and watch their game. It is up to the 2 players playing in that game.

I'm really disappointed that members of this community are stooping to bullying and shaming tactics to try and force this onto anyone.
