Ok guys tournament has started in just one day.:-) I wish everyone good luck and have fun. Games are going to be released in 3 waves in the end. So everyone should have 5 games on average.

May be a strange question, but players in game 51 and 59 for group 5 .. they are all same set of players.. is it suppouse to be so? I have 4 games 8, 51, 59, 55 are we playing same players twice? Sorry may be i do not know something.

Skaiwalker

That is not the intention, the pairing is made by the application, it is not made by me so any pairing can happen even the strangest one which is duplicates. But it is still random so it is fair for everyone in this sense.:-) But everyone should face every opponent 3 times on average. The problem with this 'average' thing is that it can be 3,4,5 maybe even 6. That is how statistics works. But on average 3 times.:-)

firstly, thanks for your work!
and secondly, I suggest next time using manual or controlled seed. it doesn’t mean, that it’s not fun playing, but now i’m playing 10 games from which (1 and 2) have exact same players, as (3 and 4), (5 and 6), (7 and 8).
i mean we could have more mix if for game 2nd and 4th games we simply took 1st and 2nd player from the 1st game and 1st and 2nd from the 3rd game and so on...
hope my explanation is not overcomplicated. just trying to give an idea on this.
and seems like it’s more a suggestion to CGE.
Thanks!🙂

Kinda too many games at once lol

Skaiwalker

Yeah it is a big tournament. But some games are more advanced and some are at early stages so the time for desicion is better then if they were started simultaneously.

Why do you keep starting new games when old ones aren't finished yet? I am now playing 10 games from this tournament?
I mean, what's the hurry?
People can't possibly have the best result from playing 10 games at once.

Skaiwalker

funnytortoise If I would wait until all games from wave 1 are finished that would take up to 1 and half month so in that pace the stage 1 of the tournament might take 4 or more months. Some players play very slow while some play fast. I released 2nd wave when most of the games from wave 1 reached age II. Now i will wait until some of the games are finished so that noone has 15 games at once.

It's strange to get so many games with identical pairings, but I guess that's just how the automatic pairing system is working now. Anyway, thanks so much for the organization!

Skaiwalker

IdkIdcIdgaf manual seed is there for later stages of the tournament, its not in my capability to manualy seed 480 games so that there are no duplicates. I mean I guess i can but its really up to CGE, i just clicked a button.🙂

superginger

I thought i wouldn't like this many games at once but its actually really fun, thank for doing this tournament

Enas

admin Hi, are there rules for resignations in this tournament deviating from standard rules?
Best regards,
Enas

Skaiwalker

Enas it is a tournament so you want to place as high as possible in any given game and there is always chance that someone declares huge war against someone else and you finish 3rd even though the game wasnt in your hands any more. But if it is hopless you can resign in age III so that you are not just cannon fodder for other players aggressions.

Enas

Skaiwalker Good to know, thanks :-)
