Adam Finlay Also, must stress that tie-break conundrums will happen as none of these games can end in a draw.

Sean D

Sean D Cheers Adam. Seedings look a bit off... Callum and Zarte won 7, I won 6 and Mattthew won 6 with more pts than me. Not that it really matters I guess, open draw makes sense.

And in contrast to your claim the top seeds aren't all Player 1! ;)

Jamie M

Jamie M Tournament pages automatically put the player who first joined Apterous on as player 1 for some reason, whether or not the fixtures are entered that way round. As long as Adam put you in as player 1 then that's where the game will put you :)

The seeding is right if the process is:
- Group winners are placed 1-5, then ordered by i) number of match wins out of 4; ii) number of ties out of 4; iii) total points scored excluding tie breaks
- The three highest scoring group runners-up are placed 6-8.

Hopefully I've got that right Adam? A little unconventional but I'll take it, given I wouldn't overly want to score the most points but still get knocked out...

Adam Finlay

Adam Finlay Each game you played counted as a win or loss. So technically all match wins were out of 8 and Sean, according to my own table you won 7. Tie-break conundrums did count towards the final score.
Other than that, you indeed have it right, Jamie.
I think this way of selecting seeds is done in races? Could be wrong, but I felt it most appropriate.
However, I am a little worried the way in which I approached the situation of unplayed games maybe unfair :/ Hopefully next time I do this tournament, only a few games if any go unplayed,.

Adam Finlay Well done to Sean D and Callum Todd (1st and 2nd seeds) for advancing to the semi-finals. All games will be up shortly.

Unlucky to both Michelle and Paul who both put up incredible fights in their quarter final matches, as well as been incredible players in the group stage! Thanks you for playing, hope to see you both next time :)

Tourney round: The Big Aegilops Bash: Quarterfinals

<< Group Stage | Semifinals >>

Notes from the organizer: Sorry this is late starting.
As previously stated, all games will be Aegilops 15 from now on where the top seed of each pair will be player 1. Please get these done asap.
Commiserations to everyone who was knocked out of the group stage, hope to see you again if I do this next year :)
I will probably get asked questions about the final 8. The top 5 seeds are all the winners of each group set in order of wins/points won and the bottom 3 are the top 3 losers. All unplayed games had 1 possible win removed, so ties were 0 points and wins 1 point. This may seem unfair to some but I also want to eliminate any possibilities that these games go unplayed as well.
To the final 8: Enjoy and good luck here!
