Hey Sawys, nice website. Good work!

[RAX]

Nice work Sawys. Would you like to insert a "Position" column about the overall scoreboard? It would be enough a separator from 36th and 37th

[The TJT]

Yeah, thanks for the update Sawys.
Looks like top 18 cut will be around 100 pts and top 36 around 60 pts. But who knows...

[The TJT]

Yes, randomly.
Seeding for top 18, they can meet random one of the other 18.

One way would be to randomly select inside groups:
1-6 vs 36-31
7-12 vs 30-25
13-18 vs 24-19

This way seeded players get most out of their rank and motivation for 3rd game stays high..

Now Tommi, you know that changing the rules mid-tournament is a no-no.

I wanted to add the position after the end of this round (useless before). Now that i've done it (automatically with excel formulas) i think that i won't add a separate for the moment because leaderboard will vary many times next week. I will finalize it after the end of the round 1.

Bye.

yes-yes
I wasn't sure if there were rules about my suggestion.

[J O E]

problems to config my JOYPAD for PHELIOS...

same thing with POLE POSITION 2 (finished with keyboard)...


thinking about the 1st and 2nd games,i'll guess why the name of tournament is K6...

K = KAZUTO? (sakata) http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kazuto_Sakata
6 = 6 times more nervous than normal...

(Italians understand "KAZUTO"...)

yes...nothing close to me in the last 2 weeks...
DANGEROUS...

i suggest a new tournament name:

H6

H = HYSTERICAL
6 = as above...

hope to solve "joypad CFG" problems as soon as possible!!!

impossible to play PHELIOS with keyboard...

[mahlemiut]

You should, quite simply, be able to enable it with -joy (or Enable Joystick Input in the GUI). Default configuration should be fine, anyway.

[J O E]

wasn't easy...but,

solved !

[Zhorik]

Can the coordiantors please clarify the rule that states:

3RD STAGE: ELITE ELIMINATION ROUND (18 players)

One week to reduce the number of the players to 12: top 4 get a bye and, therefore, a week rest for stage 4.

How are the top 4 determined? Is it the top 4 based only on the game in the 3rd stage, or is it top 4 based on cumulative results from all previous games?

[gameboy9]

I've asked the other coordinators twice about this... so we should have a resolution for you shortly.

My unofficial guess: we extend the 70-60-55-50-49 business to determine the top 4.

[RAX]

I think that the rule stats no interconnection or dependency from Round 3 respect Round 1 or 2. Moreover Round2 is a head_to_head, and we know that will be eliminated people with very high scores, only because their adversary will be even stronger. Round2 is a discontinuity to cumulative scoring.
Rules don't stat that Round1 scoreboard would have effect later, except in tie cases, and only for round1 scoreboard.
We have already played 2 games and half:

Now Tommi, you know that changing the rules mid-tournament is a no-no.

[gameboy9]

Boy, my friends THINK I'm a rules lawyer... boy they're sadly mistaken!

In that case, it'll probably be traditional seeding... 12-11-10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1... but again, unofficial guess.
