EFSC 2010: Men's Singles [Winner: ZionT]

[amazzony]

My win loss stat appears to be wrong. Is it my bad math?

I checked it, you've won 6 games out of 10... not sure where you think I made the mistake.

Edit. Oh wow, I have some old scoreboard updated, I'll get fresh one up right away

[Uncle Death]

Thanks, I thought I had a few more w's than that.

[amazzony]

Gameboard and scoreboard have been updated! 243 games out of 594 games have finished (+ appr. 50 waiting/active).

[amazzony]

Scoreboard and gameboard updated with 308 games finished (overall there's 594 games that will be counted in the standings). In the end, scores might change a bit because I need to remove points that have been won from players who aren't part of the tournament any more. I'll try to check the games at least twice a week but I'm going to be busy at some point so, please, keep an eye on your games and if you are missing a game invite - pm me right away so I know about it and can resend it!

[amazzony]

Scoreboard and gameboard updated!

Hey Amazony,
A few games I'm still waiting on opponents, 1 seems like it's been there for a while. Game #'s 6445389 & 6502986.
Maybe you can give someone a reminder when you get a chance.
Thanks, Joe B.

[amazzony]

They might be waiting because I've set up some games ahead with premiums waiting/freemium joining when possible but at the same time I don't have enough time to check it right now. I'll try to get things under control again in the next few days but not sure when I'll find time, quite busy working days. Sunday the latest I think

[amazzony]

Decided to make smaller check today and sent out reminders plus a bunch of new games. Will take a closer look on Sunday to make sure that we are in check and hopefully post an updated scoreboard.

[amazzony]

Scoreboard and gameboard have been updated! 421 out of 594 games have finished and another bunch is active so we are moving on nicely

[amazzony]

I'm having trouble getting a few players to their games but I'm working on it so please be patient if it takes longer for the games to begin. If there is no other chance then I will remove those players from the tournament but I'm really trying to avoid things to come to that. I think that everything will be a lot clearer in a week and I'm pushing scoreboard update to that time also.

[Joe B.]

Have we reached the 2nd round yet?

[amazzony]

Have we reached the 2nd round yet?

Nope, not yet. Still playing round 1 games and I think for another month or so.

[amazzony]

got tonkaed has been removed from the tournament which means that all games that were played against him won't count in the tournament scoring.

There's not many games left in round 1, some have more, some less but average there should be 4-5 games per player left. Some have played them all, some have up to 10 left. I'm hoping to send out all the remaining games in the next 10-14 days, with some exception to freemiums who will slowly catch up with everybody else. For them, I think it takes a month to join all the remaining games.

You can see the current state from the updated scoreboard and gameboard which you can find on page 1.

If there's no more drop outs, which I'm really really hoping for , then overall there's going to be 561 games that count in the tournament scoreboard (and that's just in round 1). Of course, more will be played because of the drop-out players and a few games that were played double. In Round 2, 190 games will be played.

I am terribly sorry, my premium ran out and i was late in renewing it. So i failed to accept
Game 6579615
Game 6579628
Game 6579984
i failed to save the original pm, so i dont know the password to these games.
please resend them

[amazzony]

I am terribly sorry, my premium ran out and i was late in renewing it.

Don't worry at all! I've resent the invites

Also, some other people have got their reminders and I'll be sending out new games shortly. Edit: it'll be easier for me to send out new batch tomorrow along with checking the reminded games. So, new games in 20 or so hours

[amazzony]

As promised, games sent out today (including a few reminders). I will try to get back tomorrow here to make another check and maybe send out some more games to people who have less than 4 games waiting+active. Though, depends, might have a very long day tomorrow so just won't have energy to do it.

[amazzony]

I checked the games today once more, sent out some new ones. Most likely will return tomorrow to send some reminders.

[amazzony]

Me again! Made another check and sent out reminders and some new games. I'll make an update of scoreboard tomorrow because it seems that a few more games have finished by then plus I'm less tired then

[amazzony]

Scoreboard and gameboard have been updated! If I'm not mistaken then currently there's 516 games finished (that count in the standings) which means that there's only 45 games left to finish (and appr. half of them are active). I will try to check games daily and send out new ones/reminders as often as possible so we could get most of the games started by the end of next week. Most likely a few freemium exceptions will happen but otherwise seeing how people join their games and how fast they take their turns then I think it's quite possible scenario

[amazzony]

I won't update scoreboard yet because nothing overly excited has happened and I just did it a few days. I do have to say that I was mistaken in my previous post, a bit less than 500 games was left to play and currently we need to wait 29 active games to finish and 11 games to start (they will start step by step, depending how previous games end because they are freemium games). I think 2 weeks or a bit more and we'll start with round 2.

Probably waiting after a freemium player to get a spot open - I've created games ahead to make the start of them not wait after premium members who has unlimited spots and therefore it won't prem members and makes life easier for fremiums and for myself.

[amazzony]

I won't be around much for the next 5-6 days so until next Thursday (March 25) there's no updates. As a note for future, you'll probably get to read more of these messages in the next 6 months so the speed of tournament might slow down due to that. As for now, we're waiting for the last 15 games of round 1 to end and the few that hasn't started might begin while I am gone because I've sent the freemium players their last games with a note that they can join them if they get new spots open. Hopefully my absence will have minimum effect.

[amazzony]

It seems that most games in round 1 have started and already finished because freemium players joined the games nicely while I was gone. If I'm not mistaken then 1 more games needs to be created and overall 4 finished before we know out 20 skaters who advance to round 2. Next round starting in a week most likely.

[amazzony]

Yep, 4 games left to play. I know I haven't updated the scoreboard lately but now when most games have finished then I see mistakes more clearly and I've screwed up some people's score badly because instead of 33 finished games some have less and some more (the second part I understand because it includes games that won't count as they were played against players who were removed from the tournament). Anyways, I'll have the end of the week to deal with tournament so I'll check everybody's score then (so not waiting for it) and hopefully we can start with round 2 by Monday (unless some important games are active).
