After this round Im going to delay the start of the finals by a day or two to gauge the opinions of the Top 8 players on the two subjects brought up by Nihil Credo in the Discussion Thread


So, we're one round away from the playoffs. I think it would be a good time to discuss a couple of options for the Top 8:

1) Playing matches as best of 5 games rather than best of 3 games, like at high-level tournaments. Normally people like making games less dependant on luck and lopsided matchups... unless they're playing Ichorid or Belcher, that is ;)

2) Publishing lists before the Top 8. I think this is unnecessary, since this is done in real-life tournaments to blunt the impact of scouting during the Swiss rounds, while the ability to scout is very limited online. But I feel this should be discussed nonetheless.

Let's hear what you have to say on the matter.

The round ends August 21th at 10:00 P.M. GMT -5

[geosgaen0]

pm ed my opponent Phantom_it
waiting for reply.

[matthewCURBSTOMP]

PM'd opponent

[PhanTom_lt]

Replied back, added on MSN.

[Van Phanel]

PM'd Pinder as he has taken over for Giles. That would be totally okay for me, does anyone else have a problem with it?

[PhanTom_lt]

Phew, I win. 2-1.

[Valtrix]

Anyone mind telling me how the results are exactly calculated? I want to see if I have a chance at even getting in ><

Also, talked with my opponent.

[Sanguine Voyeur]

I don't know about the percents or anything, but the ranking is determined by points. You get three points for winning a round, one for a draw, and none for a loss. Those are then added together and compared against everyone's totals.

[Valtrix]

Well yeah, I got that =P I just needed to know how tiebreakers work, since 6 people would already be ahead of me even if I win. Seems to be the number of matches (on average?) my opponent's have won? Or at least, something along those lines.

[TopGun]

Are there decklists for this tournament anywhere?...or will there be at the end?

[Julian23]

Are there decklists for this tournament anywhere?...or will there be at the end?

Yeah, I'd love to see them.

[Nihil Credo]

Did Dapug drop via PM? I'm doing some tiebreaker math, and I noticed he disappeared from the pairings.

[technogeek5000]

Did Dapug drop via PM? I'm doing some tiebreaker math, and I noticed he disappeared from the pairings.

Yes, he did.

[Happy Gilmore]

Just out of curiosity do some of you use MSN, Skype, or AIM when playing your matches? I Don't know the software inside and out so it takes a lot longer to do the simplest things. Being able to say it quickly has been a great way to speed things up and make them less stressfull durring games. Less typing and clicking, and more communication.

I would love to play in one of these tournaments but I hate feeling like the slow one.

[YuanTi]

Well yeah, I got that =P I just needed to know how tiebreakers work, since 6 people would already be ahead of me even if I win. Seems to be the number of matches (on average?) my opponent\'s have won? Or at least, something along those lines.

The first column is the percentage of matches your opponents have won, the second is your percentage of games won, and the third is your opponents games won percentage. The first is the main tiebreaker, and the next two applied in order if necessary.

[Jaiminho]

Added KillemallCFH on AIM.

[Sanguine Voyeur]

PM'd my opponent.

[Wallace]

Anyone mind telling me how the results are exactly calculated? I want to see if I have a chance at even getting in ><

Also, talked with my opponent.

You will need at least 16 points to get in, so you are out...

The first 3 tables can all draw in, after that it all depends:

Table 4
If Van Phanel wins he's in with 17, if not then Giles will have 16.
Table 5
Phamtom It won and has 16 points.
Table 6
This is the important table, if mathewCURBSTOMP wins the he will have 16, if not then Valtrix will have 15 and is out.

So if Van Phanel wins then Phamtom It or mathewCURBSTOMP, (if he wins) will be in. If Van Phanel loses then Giles, Phantom It and mathewCURBSTOMP (if he wins) will all have a chance at the last 2 spots.

[TheInfamousBearAssassin]

Won 2-1. =/ Fighting desperately for 10th, woot.

[Roman Candle]

Won 2-1. =/ Fighting desperately for 10th, woot.

Confirmed. Great games, kept me on my toes the whole time. Except those times I tripped and fell flat on my face.

[Van Phanel]

You will need at least 16 points to get in, so you are out...

The first 3 tables can all draw in, after that it all depends:

Table 4
If Van Phanel wins he's in with 17, if not then Giles will have 16.
Table 5
Phamtom It won and has 16 points.
Table 6
This is the important table, if mathewCURBSTOMP wins the he will have 16, if not then Valtrix will have 15 and is out.

So if Van Phanel wins then Phamtom It or mathewCURBSTOMP, (if he wins) will be in. If Van Phanel loses then Giles, Phantom It and mathewCURBSTOMP (if he wins) will all have a chance at the last 2 spots.

Not quite.

Actually Eldariels tiebreakers are so bad that he can't really draw as he'd risk being 9th if mathewCURBSTOMP wins. This changes a lot.

If tables 2 and 3 do really draw, you are correct, if they don't then one 15-pointer might get in (if mathewCURBSTOMP loses). So, Valtrix: you have a tiny little chance to get in but only if Eldariel doesn't draw, or one of the tables 4 or 5 do draw (for whatever reason).

[Mister Agent]

I am afraid I am going to have to drop since my internet continues to give me problems of disconnecting me. It was fun and thanks for hosting the tournament technogeek.

[klaus]

Sanguine Voyeur told me he felt like "smashing some face".
He's gonna wear sunglasses tonight :cool:

[Sanguine Voyeur]

Sanguine Voyeur told me he felt like "smashing some face".
He's gonna wear sunglasses tonight :cool:It's true those are pretty much my words. However, I forgot to psych myself up before the match. I lost that, "I will kill you what ever you're playing" mentality.

[Pinder]

GOD CANNOT SAVE YOU FROM LAND, GO....LAND, GO......LAND, GO......LAND, GO.....

2-0 Van Phanel. First game he won fair and square, second game I drew 5 nonland cards the entire game.

Oh well, no top 8 for Giles.

[Van Phanel]

And one or two of your lands actually were Forests. Still a strange G2. And: Top8 I'm coming.

no response

[GreenOne]

I don't have time to play during next weeks due to problems in the offline life.
Swing4Five wins 2-0 against GreenOne.

[Sims]

Not that it really matters as our outcomes should have little impact on the top tables, but Rack and I started last night and after winning the first game and starting game 2, he needed to go and submitted a concession.

If he posts and follows up that he's fine with that, then cool, i'll take the win. But again, i don't think it matters much.

[Mister Agent]

I lost against technogeek 1-2. Good games though man. Game 3 was pretty close.

[Whit3 Ghost]

My opponent and I draw.

[TheInfamousBearAssassin]

My opponent and I draw.

Boooo.

[Illissius]

PMed Illisius however futile it may be....

Which I naturally didn't get, because no one is capable of spelling my name. Odd that the forum software doesn't warn about this...

Added you on AIM though. Have you been online? Maybe I've just never looked at the right time.

EDIT -- We just played, I won 2-0. I'm still surprised I won that second game...

[technogeek5000]

Wow, Alot of people have not posted results yet. Im figuring that this is all either byes or people losing interest due to a realization they cant make top 8. If there is anymore people then I Suggest you hurry and post results.

Also...

The top 8 rounds will be best of five, and I will be collecting everyones decklists (I will post them all when the Top 8 is over). I believe I am going to wait 1 day to collect decklists and reveal who made top 8 and the final standings in the next thread.

Edit: THE SWISS IS OFFICIALLY OVER. Thread to come shortly.

[Nihil Credo]

Well, Eldariel and I had agreed via PM to just keep online and only play our match if it turned out to be strictly necessary. As the round is ending, it seems it isn't.
