lowzeewee Posted June 8, 2004 Author Share Posted June 8, 2004 OK Since Nema Fakei and Bryorama are out, the participants of the groups will automatically walk-over the games against the people backing out. So the remaining 2 people in each of their group automatically get a win and a place in the quarter finals or Runner-up playoffs so you just have to play the other guy in your group.Next time before you sign up, please think before you put text to screen. >:( ::) And please, if you say you have "enough time to play: and "I've been extremely busy and can hardly find time to get online", it really pisses me off to see you continue posting so actively on the forum, over a period of...about a full hour between several posts...ANYONE WHO WANTS TO PULL OUT, JUST DO SO NOW TO SAVE OUR TIME AND ENERGY, THANK YOU. :) :OCompleted Groups->Grp 5Winner->Spectral Paladin 2 winsRunner-up->Lowzeewee 1 win 1 loss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super-ness Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 i could play them both Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowzeewee Posted June 8, 2004 Author Share Posted June 8, 2004 Hmm....but if you do so...then you have a double-chance of proceeding...so how shall we proceed now ??? We can actually have elimination rounds immediately by redoing this entire thing due to people quitting only after the tournament has started. We have 14 people and I don't suppose anyone apart from me and Spectral Paladin have played their games yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DukeLeto Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 I would play as well; that would bring it up to a more even 12. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowzeewee Posted June 8, 2004 Author Share Posted June 8, 2004 No, it's 16 participants. :) So we now have 4 groups of 4 people, but do you guys want the groups according to GMT difference or just randomly drawn?I'll let Spectral Paladin's win over me be carried on[to be fair] so we 2 have to be in the same group. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowzeewee Posted June 8, 2004 Author Share Posted June 8, 2004 I guess since nobody ever responds to my questions I guess I'll have to make decisions by myself. :P I'll go draw lots and give you the results by tomorrow.Edit: Lol, I repeated Dust Scout yet again...so its 3 groups of 5 people.1-Lowzeewee GMT +8:002-Dust Scout GMT 0:003-EWS GMT 0:004-Acriku5-Dunenewt GMT 0:006-Rookie7-Sardaukar Elite8-Khan GMT 0:009-Cyborg GMT +1:00 [Cyborg, is this right?]10-Caid Ivik11-Super GMT 0:0012-Gunwounds13-ExSPlug14-Spectral Paladin15-DukeLeto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spectral Paladin Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 Sry, I didn't saw this earlier. No there is no reason to carry over the win. I suggest that we wait for 1 more and get 4 groups of 4. It's much easier to decide who goes to the quarter finals that way (top two) than have a playoff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollyon Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 Ok, Low you can sign me up. :)I warn you guys though, I haven't played a game of chess in years and never was any good when I did play! ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectral Paladin Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 Now we have 3 groups of five= 3x10 games=30 gamesplus playoff=2 gamesplus quarters=4 gamesplus semis=2 gamesplus final=1A total of 39 games. With 4x4 groups it's only 31 games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
