 | Andres S. Alright so this has been approved on July 10th, SO the FULL deadline for sign-ups will be July 14th at 5am GMT. |
| Andres S. And Cyril Topher's hopping in too, welcome! |
| Andres S. So do Barry Evans & Steven Oldham, two more day's until sign-ups close! Then I'll give you guys 5 extra days to do the deciding rounds. |
 | Cyril Topher What is this Andres? I just sign up to anything that is open. |
| Andres S. The main goal of this is to play the best you can and see how close to the maximum score you can get. |
 | Dan Spinks Cyril, you can join me in the 'no idea what this is' club. I've read the description a number of times and am none the wiser, I'm just going to keep playing until Andres tells me to stop |
 | Ian Volante I've no idea either. However, in some shock to have the highest score at this point, that's never happened. |
 | George Armstrong To maybe help clarify, if you scored 117 and the max was 130, you'd have 90% but if you scored 114 and the max was 120, you'd have 95% and would be placed higher despite having a lower score. It's all about not dropping points really. |
 | Matthew Tassier Well played Ian.
|
| Andres S. Thank you for the clarification George, that really helps exemplify what I'm putting down here. |
| Dan Spinks ah, ok, yep, think I get it now :) |
| Cyril Topher Oh cool, I’m sure I’ll do well in this tournament. |
| Andres S. Alright sign-ups are now FULLY closed; now for the few people that are left, you guys have until July 19th at 5am GMT to complete your games. |
 | Fi Thorne Am I still in this or have I been eliminated? |
| Andres S. The spreadsheet has all the info you need, but to inform you right here right now... you're not. |
| Andres S. Not eliminated I mean. |
| Fi Thorne Happy days! :-) |
| Show all comments | |
 | Derek Matthews I assume I have been eliminated although the spreadsheet tells you absolutely nothing |
 | Wesley Barton You're comfortably in, Derek. Ronan seems to have been eliminated by missing the deadline. |
| Derek Matthews Thanks. So i guess we just wait for more info now then. |
 | Dave Robjohns This was just a seeding round Derek - everyone that played is still involved, and if you look at the "deciding rounds" sheet it shows you're in the blue team |
| Andres S. Just watch out for the VERY dark red for future reference. I'm going to dub it as the no-no area but I'm happy for other suggestions lol |
Tourney round: Make The Odds: The ACTUAL Deciding Rounds
Notes from the organizer: Hello everyone, once again thank you to the ones who've signed up to see if YOU can make the odds! Now I promised I'd say why this first tournament I'm hosting is called what it is. Well if you've had a very keen eye you'd know that I made a ticket on this idea about a few weeks ago. For the ones who haven't seen that ticket, I'll explain the process here:
Everyone on one designated group will play a standard 15-rounder against another group (essentially a left vs. right deal). Based on the raw and maximum score accrued, that will make a percentage for you; this is essentially you making your own odds; the two people with the LOWEST percentages will be eliminated.
To start this off, everyone that signed up will play against Prune; this is also going to serve as to what side you'll be playing on. As of now, we have an ODD amount of people; in THIS case, the lowest max on the deciding rounds will be eliminated. And if you still want to sign up, you can! I'll be FULLY closing sign-ups FOUR DAYS at 5 am GMT after this gets approved. There's a spreadsheet to show everything that'll be going on from here until the end of this tournament. Hope you all have fun as we get this a 'rollin!
