Status of selected games

Post by JoustGod »

Since the tournament page has been modified to accomodate the upcoming battle, I would like to know where to find the updates for game selections. It would give us an idea as to which games we can anticipate playing as well as how many games we've finally decided on.

The link called "Gameboy's Page" gives you the current status. It's
the same page as before. I will update it with Zwaxy's votes as soon
as class finishes in a few hours... ugh...

<p>

The one's in green give you the games that would pass... the ones in
orange will not go... at the moment

Do the late votes count or not???
I have a friend that would like to vote if we are letting late votes
count...
Just want to know which way we are going.

As it's not yet 23:59 GMT 30/06/1999 then a vote placed now cannot
possibly be considered late. Late in the time-frame allowed for
votes maybe but still perfectly legal as far as the original voting
rules are concerned.

<p>

I think that probably what will need to happen is asap after the
final game count comes in we will need to review the situation and
see if we still have too few a number of games with 3 or more votes
requiring a revote on the tied 2 point games to get up to a minimum
(?) of 10 games.

<p>

In the interim, we will all undoubtably be able to start recording
for the games that already have 3 or more votes as they will
definitely be in the final 10 or so games..

I told Chris this... late votes will probably not count... I might
count it if we have a tie in tiebreaker vote... I might use the
quickest vote gets the game bit... it's probably a final minute
decision.

<p>

I know this much - if we do another tourney next year - the original
voting rules will probably not stand. Way too many ties.

Now hold on a minute. We seem to be putting the cart before the horse
here. If I remember correctly, voting is open until June 30. As
impractical as it might seem to some, we should not be doing any tie-
breaker voting until all of the original votes are in. Yes, this
might take a few days before a conclusion is reached. But, remember,
this is a 3-month tournament. I don't think we're going to fall apart
in the meantime.

<p>

In other words, I agree with the BJ man.

<p>

I'm wondering why there aren't more votes from the great group of
players here at MARP...are they waiting for the final moment? If
that's the case, then we are being premature on assuming which games
are in and which are not.

<p>

Let's be patient and deal with ties if and when the time comes up.

OK... we have nine games that have three votes now... so I'm not
going decide the tiebreaker vote until July 3rd 2359 GMT... due to
popular vote. The original voting date stands however. The overall
ending tournament date will now end October 3rd, not September
30th... still 2359 GMT... without objection :)
