Dave Robjohns So, having small country teams worked out nicely as a fun extra last year and once again everyone will be representing a country in 2021! Two new nations enter the mix - Jamaica and Ukraine. With 2020 players keeping their โ€œnationalitiesโ€, here are the teams after a random.org shuffle:

AUS ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡บ: Edward Ashcroft, Jason Turner, John Beresford

CHN ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ: Dan Spinks, Mike Lee, Stu Harkness

FRA ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท: Dan Byrom, Tom Cappleman, Ian Volante

HUN ๐Ÿ‡ญ๐Ÿ‡บ: Andy SC, Sam Cappleman-Lynes, Robin M

ITA ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น: Hazel Drury, Kieran Bray, Paul Thomas

JAM ๐Ÿ‡ฏ๐Ÿ‡ฒ: Johnathan Dyke, Adam Latchford, Maria Chandler

Dave Robjohns 2 weeks left here so I'll probably need to make some replacements soon (4 players have more than 10 games left).

Please nice this comment if you think a new player should have to play all the games, and ones played by the original player should not count.

Dave Robjohns

Dave Robjohns Please nice this comment if you think a replacement should only play games that have not been played, and results from the original player should stand.

Dave Robjohns

Dave Robjohns Thanks all, looks like we've got a fairly convincing poll winner and pleasingly it's the option which is easiest for the spreadsheet!

Gary hasn't been around for a bit, so I'll replace his remaining games with John now. Ciaran, Mike and Jacob have been around a bit more so I'll leave it a while.

Dave Robjohns Two more changes to get some more games finished:

Dave O replaces Ciaran for the remaining 13 fixtures (NED)
Dominic replaces Mike for the remaining 11 fixtures (USA)

That will hopefully bring us past 90% completion, 14th August the deadline overall.

Dave Robjohns

Dave Robjohns 23 conundrums unplayed which leads to 7 games without results but the show must go on! Thanks all for getting a solid 94% of games in :)

The knockouts here will take place as these best of 9 matches, with seeding based on finishing positions here.

That is:
France vs Great Britain
Japan vs Hungary
Korea vs Ukraine
Jamaica vs Netherlands

Commiserations to the 6 teams we lose here!

Additionally, well done to Tom and Chris, both winning 17/18 of their conundrums (and equally, Matthew and Thomas for beating them!)

Dave Robjohns

Dave Robjohns Hi all, commenting on this event as this should basically tag everyone involved in aptolympics.

Put simply, after misreading a deadline it transpires I have to now do 3 exams and write my entire thesis in the next 19 days. I like a frantic deadline, but this is somewhat pushing it :D

As a result, Aptolympics is pausing for now. Events that are already set up will run their course, and the rest I'll sort later in September.

Apologies for the inconvenience!

Elwin Carlos

Elwin Carlos No worries Dave, gl with the write up. :)

Elwin Carlos

Elwin Carlos And the exams too of course!

Tourney round: Aptolympics: Tokyo 2021: Event 1: 3v3 Basketball (Group Stage)

<< Tokyo 2021: Sign-up round | Tokyo 2021: Event 2a: Triathlon >>

Notes from the organizer: We kick off the Tokyo 2021 Aptolympic Games with an exciting event set to be making it's real Olympic debut later this month - 3 vs 3 Basketball!

It's a fast paced event where each team alternately gets chances to score past the other team under a shot clock. We're replicating that with single conundrums.

You will represent your 'country' by facing off with a single conundrum against all 3 members of another team, making each match a best of 9.

We will have a group stage featuring all 14 nations split into two groups. From this, 8 sides will make the knockouts, with each round lasting a week thereafter.

For the group stage, you have 5 weeks - until 14th August.

Results will be regularly updated here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1XARCkMOnvzwgvf9ex_0WLcnvWbr8V6p05qhxWpWmUtw/edit#gid=2106701532
