admin I’m admittedly confused. I figured this would be a 4 player tournament, but I was assigned multiple 2 player
games and 1 3 player game...

How to accept the invitation?

Straanger

Thanks for the invite, but I think I'm in too many tournaments at the moment.

Marcin82

What should I do next? How to join to tournament?

Skaiwalker

Problematix

Marcin82

I already joined tournament but still see red "1" button info in left up corner

Skaiwalker

Marcin82 it is probably just a bug it will go away

Will this tournament begin after the 'High Stakes' one complete? It starts to get difficult to manage many games simultaneously. Thanks.

Skaiwalker

Ok the tournament has started, the pairings are incredibly dumb, I dont know what i can do so that they are not that bad.🙁 It seems that almost everyone plays identical 4player games for all 5 games. At least its same for everybody. It is still competitive it just lacks variety. Developers should look into it. Good luck to everyone.

Jorrig

Skaiwalker Yes, I play the 4p-players 4 times and some of my group once or not even once. The 4p games should be mixed a bit more.

Padishar

I agree that abandoning does not belong to the game, and especially not for tournament matches. Resignation is the only acceptable method of quitting. But should this rule be more visible (and anything else that leads to being banned for future events) in the tournament info? Now it's more like a short afterthought at the end of the description. It's a real possibility that people might join without reading all of the description, so I think the important stuff should be the first thing to read.

Skaiwalker

The banning is for people that time out or abandon the game right after the start. And do that in multiple games. If you resign in hopeless game its absolutely ok.

Skaiwalker

Jorrig this is not my fault its problem for developers I could have set different number of players per group, probably a multiple of 7 thus 28 players in group instead of 32. 7 is probably the magical number for the pairings but i didnt know until now.

Skaiwalker

Aftheiss it is all around championship meaning you will play all formats you can see it clearly in the description 4x 2p, 6x 3p and 5x 4p games total of 15 games released in 3 waves.

Skaiwalker

Anyway its still a good tournament with a lot of good players so dont look at the details and just have fun guys and maybe learn a thing or two while playing.🙂

Skaiwalker

Ok last wave. I finished already all my games so I guess its time. Good luck!

slig123

All 5x of my 4 player games have the exact same players. Is that expected?

Skaiwalker

slig123 yes almost everyone plays identical 4p, its flaw of the algorythm just like Padishar said. Nothing I can do about it in current setting. If there was different number of players in group or different number of 4p games algorytm would change maybe.

Padishar

No it's not. Pairings are automated and there is some flaw with the algorithm. Nothing to do about it now than just play. I think Skaiwalker might have reported it to CGE.
