International Team Championship - season 1

Tomtomparking

Hi,

We are playing in group 27.
My partner Jerome_Eiffel timed out. Before it happended, he still had 7h + 12h of reserve. But after the 7h he was eliminated, the reserve was not used...
Can you do smething before the game is to advanced?

Thanks

zadokk

Ow, that is really strange. I will notify this to CGE. Will keep you posted.

Hello Zadokk, I'm really sorry that I planned so badly but I wont be able to continue the current game. I'm on holiday with my family (without wifi). I've already talked to my team mate and will now resign from the game. Because I recently don't have that much time and don't want something like this to happen again, I wont continue participating in this tournament. I already contacted Magnetiseur and he does't want to continue with a nother team mate, so please remove our team "Aerobreaked Asteroid".
Sorry again

Reallaurin I got an answer from CGE:
"I have checked game events and I can confirm that the player really timed out becouse he run out of both time and reserve. So replacing with AI is valid in this game". So I guess you really timed out.

Hi, our team consisting of 'icarium_jag' and 'Maukka' would like to be removed from the tournament from next stage/season on. Thank you.

Diegaccio

Sorry @zadokk the team against us made a pact. I write them on chat that they cannot… and they made another one… I can understand a mistake but I don’t like the way they behave.
what should I do ?
the game is Diegaccio and Strawer_1982 versus Bergen and HansBugge

Bergen

As I have said a number of times in our game chat. Pacts are allowed between team members as long as “no pact” is not stated in the chat first. It is written twice in the game rules, but u refuse to read them

Sorry. I was wrong. The pact is between my rival and my teammate. So it is okay.

Seem to be experiencing a bug I declared olympics last turn and now I have no political action to start of this turn, any idea on how to fix this?

mm34nn

Did "wdnmd" and "Dollar More Than Doug" have an additional game in Stage 3? I noticed there are 3 "1 points" in stage 3.

mm34nn

Oh... Bugs happened in the games of the two teams. I have already figured out the GoogleDoc page.

mm34nn

Because the 7th season is important for 12 teams to 6 qulifications. I dont want to fight against a team from my country in the 7th season. Do you mind to take it into your consideration of grouping? @zadokk

zadokk

mm34nn Hi, the pairing is done in a different program. It calculates the matchups depending on your standings. so nothing i can do about that.

mm34nn

zadokk So, what is the tiebreaking algorithm now? Buchholz chess rating or Pure random algorithm?

zadokk What happened to R3? I remember our team （wdnmd） won？

zadokk

mm34nn I it's this tool I am using: https://mtgarena.appspot.com/# It is used for magic the gathering tournaments. It works with resistance points. The better you opponents scored, the better your tiebreak will be.

An advice: zadokk, I know you like slow game and the feeling of meditation. But as a tournament, about 48 days per stage one game is really too long. It means the whole tournament would be 336 days and finals 100+ days. And my life is only 20000 days. And it is not a league (each season has a champion) but a championship. I want to quit this tournament many times for this reason. If you want to hold another team tournament in the future, could you try to do something make it quicker? Like a Quick and Dirty Team Championship?

zadokk

mm34nn I do not like slow games at all. lol. That is a misunderstanding. This was my first tournament and I liked the idea of a swiss system. But team play is much slower as normal game. And Swiss takes long. I definetly have to rethink this one. But Quick and Dirty teams is an option. But to be honest this tournament is a lot of effort to run. So maybe someone else wants to take it over in the future... tx for the feedback.

zadokk

homura There was a bug and a replay needed. I see that they timed out at the moment so a replay is not possible. I will grant you the full score

mm34nn

zadokk There are several varient ways to accelerate a Swiss Tournament. For example, you can make three teams per group. Then two games for every team in every stage. So teams can play for 4 stages and 8 games to get TOP8. We should have an honest and sincere conversation. Although you said you dont like slow game, your game is the slowest in stage 6 except the group 40 which has stopped moving for 5 days. I dont try to push you play quick. So maybe there is a misunderstanding but it owns a reason in itself. Thanks for your effort of organizing the tournament!
