Callum Todd Sorry Charlie, I've been a massive penis. Could you please add an end date to this tourney? 1st March 2014 would be good.

Callum Todd 5 weeks until Hypergoatourney 2 gets underway! Please come along and give it a go, even if you've never played Hypergoat before, this is a great opportunity to get into it and discover an awesome format.

Re: the round robin idea, I've decided it would be best to give the entire course of the tournament as time for each round robin to be completed. This will prevent the round robin for people eliminated in round 1 from having lots of games to play in a short space of time.

Callum Todd Just under two weeks remaining 'til this kicks off. New sign-ups will always be welcome.

Adam Gillard Truthfully I just exclaimed "Ooh Tassier, that's a tough one!" on clicking through to this page from a notification.

Callum Todd Just realised that the Challonge website doesn't allow me to edit the draw for the next round, so just ignore those standings. When round 2 comes around, it will be drawn randomly like round 1 was, so anyone can play anyone.

Also when round 2 starts, everyone who was eliminated in round 1 will play in a round robin against each other.

Callum Todd

Callum Todd 5/8 games played already, awesome stuff. The deadline for this round isn't until Thursday 1st May, but if all fxtures are played before then we can move things on sooner :)

Congratulations to everyone who has progressed to Round 2, but it's not the end of the road for those that haven't! You will be competing in the round robin beginning alongside round 2.

Please remember to ignore the Challonge link posted above, as it gives misleading information about the draw for Round 2, which will be made again randomly and will not be seeded.

Tourney round: Hypergoatourney 2: Round 1

<< Grand Final | Round 2 >>

Notes from the organizer: As introduced in this ticket: http://www.apterous.org/ticket_view.php?ticket=2229, Hypergoatourney 2 is scheduled to start soon!

The first round will be a Best of 3 knockout, just like last year's tourney (http://www.apterous.org/to_tourney.php?tourney=449).

From then on, it will continue to be a Best of 3 knockout, although I have an idea that could be implemented, dependent on a consensus from the entrants. If all or most entrants agree, I would like to run a round robin for all the contestants knocked out in the previous round. So, while round 2 is going on, everyone who was eliminated in round 1 will play a round robin. And while round 3 goes on, all those eliminated from round 2 will play a round robin. This is just a suggestion at the moment, but please give me your feedback so I know if it's a good idea or a silly one.

The Final will be Best of 5. Most other details are covered by the ticket. If you think I've missed anything, or if there's anything else you'd like to know, please don't hesitate to speak to me about it.

Finally, a huge thanks to Adam Gillard for permitting me to hold the reins on this incarnation of the Hypergoatourney.

Enjoy!
