Indeed, this is about scoring in tournament games, not RP in normal campaigns.

Re: Order of Battle: World War II - New tournament open for sign-ups

Many thanks Admiral for your tough match competition and generosity of spirit. It certainly went down to the wire in our game! Congratulations due I think to EVERYONE who participated and got their games played, as well as the organisers. Roll on the next one!

Early win bonuses

OK, cannot say I am not disappointed by the fact that, having taken my opponent's HQ on turn 11, game ended and I scored what I would estimate as at least 30-40 points less than I would have if I had deliberately held off and just hung around killing more units and amassing locations held points... ...

Re: Order of Battle: World War II - New tournament open for sign-ups

Hi Ron, There's nothing substantively different about tournament and usual OoB setup and deployment. You can spend as much RP as you have available buying units even if you cannot deploy them - look at your cp limits which determine deployment ability. Remember if you have not signed off the deploym...

Re: Version 10 release tournament

Congrats Admiral! Netballman, I'll have to investigate this further, do you remember how many turns you'd played and what your score was before we nerfed you? We were quite well on but not quite finished - about turn 13? - and the board was showing me at 230+ - 234 or 237 iirc. Redbird mentioned th...

Re: Version 10 release tournament

Well the fat lady has sung - and genuine congrats to the Admiral on his win. In fact I won't even mention the 50+ points I had deducted in the first round match due to my opponent's timing out and my being given the par score instead of what I'd already actually scored... ... Oops! :P Seriously thou...

Re: Version 10 release tournament

For the game disappearing from the list... hmm, that could be a bug, you should always get to review the last turn and save a replay if you wish I had this same problem with one of my games with ussarz - I never got a final screen or victory report playing as the germans - I got a reminder email sa...

Re: Old Rankings Table

I know you probably have other worries and more important problems to solve, but that the player who is leading in points and is also very faster is punished, if he presses the switch "claim victory" after the opponent has been inactive for over 14 days, losing the game is not possible, t...

Re: Version 10 release tournament

Don't ask me about the exact mechanics, which are as clear as mud - but I can see looking at the tables that our opponent was classed as timed out in that game (the small t by their scores) so his score would have been reduced, and you would have been given some kind of par score. As is argued else...

Re: Old Rankings Table

Now we have the case: My opponent took longer than 14 days several times to make the next move in a free multiplayer game, I claimed victory and ELO points were deducted from me? If I were worse off, I would have accepted that, but I was ahead on both maps and I claim victory due to inactivity but ...

Re: Version 10 release tournament

Hello, There is something i don't understand in the scoring of round 2 My opponent (Dolphin0810) and I had both connection issues (at least it's true for me) for some days so we were unable to finish our games in time. The last turn i played (turn 11) i saw a score of about 80 in each of my games. ...

Re: Something weird (maybe) with a ranked game

I noticed almost similar message in the MP Forum about a Tournament match which I will quote here: " Re: Version 10 release tournament Post by roywfw » 01 Sep 2023 21:09 I'm confused (not necessarily a new condition). On turn 18 I captured both of my opponents supply points and while I didn't ...

I think it would make sense to use new rates for the round and the posisitons (no 1 vs no2 etc) for rounds 2 and 3.
Should make for better balanced matches.
I think that is what they currently do for rounds after the first.

Re: Version 10 release tournament

Sorry forgot to say specifically during the above message that another point int he argument against forcing a choice is that an open competition is hardly that if all the best players are playing in a separate competition instead, and non-invitees might actually want the challenge of tilting at the...

Re: Version 10 release tournament

I agree too with invitationals AND open tournaments. But if they arise at the same period of time, it would be interesting in my opinion that a single player choose what kind of tournament he wants to play, not both allowed together IMHO it wouldn't make any sense to run them simultaneously. Making...

A number of us have had this but it seems to be ok again now.

+1 to conboy's comments about having both open and invitational tournaments.
