Matthew Tassier Not completely sure, and sorry to interfere again, but I think the Marcus v Jamie handicap should be quite a bit bigger according to the formula.

Andy Platt

Andy Platt Looks okay to me. Can you try again using 1859 as Marcus's rating, 1290 as Jamie's rating, and 11.565 as Marcus's average maxes? (They were higher at previous points during the tournament)

Andy Platt Yeah, looking at Jamie's rating that'd seem more accurate. I'll keep checking and see what I've done wrong - you're more likely to be correct than I am

Andy Platt

Andy Platt Yep, okay, I'd been doing *2 instead of ^2, took me bloody ages to catch that. Glad you checked. Thanks dude. I should have realised it was a little low for their rating difference. You can do the next tournament.

Andy Platt TO CONFIRM

Marcus vs Jamie = 30 handicap
Sean vs James = 9 handicap

Good luck.

Andy Platt

Andy Platt Congrats Marcus and Sean. I'll set up the final in a bit

James Bailes

James Bailes Thanks for the tournament Andy. goodluck Marcus and Sean.

Tourney round: Handicap Tournament: Semi Final

<< Quarter Final | Grand Final >>

Notes from the organizer: Standard two week deadline, but if you could arrange to play the games sooner we might even have this tournament wrapped up by the end of the month.

Games are as follows:

Marcus Hares vs Jamie French (17 handicap in favour of Jamie)
Sean D vs James Bailes (10 handicap in favour of James)

As always, the lower rated player will advance if the score is tied after handicap, and if the normal game is a draw before handicap is applied to the score, the tie break conundrum will not count.

Ran from: 19 – 28 March 2014. Format: 15 Rounder. Matches: One-off. Approved.

Organizers: Andy Platt.

Fixtures: 2. Completed: 2.
