Jack Worsley Hmm, for some reason this seems to be listed as happening before the previous one and I can't enter any fixtures.

Zarte Siempre Because it's awaiting approval Jack. You don't have a tourney license.

Jack Worsley Thought it might be that, cheers Zarte!

Jack Worsley The draw has been made and all of the fixtures are now up. You've got a month to play them but I would appreciate it if you played them ASAP. If you need to arrange a time with your opponent via aptomail, then please include me in the conversation. That way, I can get a better idea of who's made the most effort, in case it doesn't get played in time. Good luck!

Jon Stitcher Ooh, loving my draw!

Jack Worsley IMPORTANT NOTICE, PLEASE READ:
Even though this is best of 2, the tie between Mark and John went to three games for some reason, possibly because the first game was drawn but I'm not sure. If your tie goes to a third game, then only the first two will count. You can still play the third if you wish but feel free to ignore it if it happens.

Rhys Benjamin I had the same problem in my Cricketdown tourney. The tourney system will want an out-and-out winner, so will not accept the fixture as over if it's 1-1 - or indeed, if one of the two matches is drawn - after two games each, and therefore forces a third, as if it's best of three.

Jack Worsley Rhys, see Brett v Julia in your tourney. One of those games was drawn and yet it still didn't generate a third game. There are also cases where players win one game each and it doesn't go to a third but in some cases it does. This is really confusing and I'll probably file a ticket later.

Rhys Benjamin That is because I manually got rid of the third games the system threw up.

Jack Worsley If any fixture needs to be decided by a single conundrum (level on aggregate and away goals, with only rounds won counted as goals), then I would prefer you to set up a single conundrum. If you want to play the the meaningless third game for whatever reason, I don't mind if you use the conundrum in that game to decide the outcome of the tie. However, both players MUST agree to this beforehand in this situation. I hope I can trust everyone to be honest about what they agreed on. Remember to aptomail me the link to the single conundrum if that's the method you prefer.

Jack Worsley Just over a week in and already 11 of 19 games have been played. Fantastic so far, hopefully the remaining eight games can be played sooner rather than later.

Ian Volante Jack, do we have a winner in my tie with Dave? We aren't sure.

Jack Worsley Ah, I was wondering how long it would take to go to away goals. Remember, only won rounds count as goals. Ian won 4-2 at home, Dave won 3-1 at home, making it level on aggregate but Dave goes through having won one more round in his away leg.

Jack Worsley If we'd gone strictly with winners scoring, Ian would have gone through on away goals but I have stated that only won rounds count as goals, not drawn rounds. Apologies if this has caused any confusion but I just think it's a more logical way to approach it.

Dave Nicholson Thank you for clarifying Jack, that was how I had interpreted it but wasn't 100% sure.

Jack Worsley Another game decided on away goals. Brett edges past Jason after losing 3-1 at home but winning 5-3 away. Please get your games played quickly, you've got just over two weeks left.
