Slitherine

I believe the formula is:


Player 1 % = (Player2Losses / (Player1Losses + Player2Losses))
Player 1 Score = 30 * Player 1 %
Player 2 Score = 30 - Player 1 score.

So in your first round game it would be [36/(9+36)]*30=24. For the second round game, they must not count kills above the limit (i.e. you use 35, not 45 for loses) This would be [35/10+35)]*30=23.33

Quick question from the other side of the missed round not the 30 + 30 debate
Does missing round 1 or indeed any round mean an automatic elimination from the competition and not just nil points.
I ask as I was away and unable to play my round one game against kilroy - as I posted would be the case - and then appeared as 'scratched'. However this doesn't seem to be a universal approach.
Just asking to be clear how missing a round works for the player who misses.

Hi
I just saw Triarius post about being scratched.
It looks like my opponent in this round cothyso has withdrawn.

Not sure if it is possible to substitute Triarius for cothyso.

I am happy to reset the clock - and try and get in however many turns we can. I understand the finish time is set

I would rather play a few turns than none at all.

cheers, Jon

This from iainmcneil:
"Any player who makes no turns will be removed from the draw for the next round".

You should be able to voluntarily leave the tournament on the sign up page. I wonder if this ever got implemented though so Cothyso check if you can leave and if nto let us know and we'll have to fix it so you can retire.

I've checked it immediately as it became clear to me I can't finish even the games from the first round, and I've rechecked it right now. There's no way to leave the tournament. Under the Join column, I can only see some small green round icons, which are not clickable (and a Join for the SaS tournament I won't join up anyway, due to lack of time and interest in playing medieval setup).

I know I read that you will not play the same player again.

However noticed Blastpop played Petran again.

It looks pretty likely that I will play davouthojo again.

Is this in the rules?

How can this be prevented?

Don't panic, Eric, if the scores stay how they are now, you will have a much easier game against hidde

I've added teh "leaving a tournament" request to teh bug list. Not sure when it will get fixed yet.

Thank you, Iain.

Don't count on it
The scoring is out of wack...again. It shows 0-0 but the numbers should be 11 to me and 19 to batesmotel.
He sounded really fed up with this scenario yesterday when we finished the first game. He didn't send any turn for the second game and I'm
not sure we'll be able to finish that one. I think we only have this evening to do it because of the time difference.
No, I bet I'll be facing pantherboy next round and take a dive down the ladder...

Don't worry hidde - those of us near the bottom of the ladder will make you welcome

Moi I never cinap.

Just thinking it is possible to play the same person 4 times. May as well just agrre upon a draw and go to the pub.

Pete Garnett. I have a fear of heights Xphobia not vertigo and so I will be wringng my way down the rungs to help support those above us.

My opponent resigned on turn 1.....I'll try not to take it personally (sniff!)

Can I suggest Slitherine implement before the next competition:
-Some mechanism to discourage casual sign-up and drop out
-Quality control on the scenarios chon - I flagged the issues with Mancetter in the tech forum on the 8th March - there were some wrong images in Indus River too
-Coding to enable withdrawals from the competition
-Coding to prevent the same people playing each other twice

The tournament mechanism is a great feature - with some tweaks we can make it more fun

My resignation was done purely on the grounds of a sort of demonstration against the mechanics of the tournament.

Mainly covered by Chris.

Would love to see a Book/addition/list competition using the improved format.

Just a one off game, using any army from eg SOA, 6 games using the Swiss system.

Would find it even better if you could not customize your army based on your opponents army.

Would also love to see a doubles competition, if the toolset would allow. That is 2 pairs of players in each team again using the improved system. Not sure how it would be possible but 2 armies, 300 pts per army one has to be an ally that is included in teh allies list of main army. Each player will be in control of each army.

-Quality control on the scenarios chon - I flagged the issues with Mancetter in the tech forum on the 8th March - there were some wrong images in Indus River too

-Coding to prevent the same people playing each other twice
>>> This should already be in effect - did someone play the same poerson twice?

Hi,

Yeap. I played/play in rounds 2 & 3 with the same player, massina_nz.

Cheers

OK thats on teh bug list then. It is not supposed to allow that to happen so we'll have to look in to it.

How do I leave the competition?

I lost the first game vs pantherboy the normal way but on the result page it says timed out. Meaning?
I also got a bonus. A third game with this scenario (Parthian river crossing) started 1969.
Bugs in the system?

Edit: And now a second bonus game from 1969
