Ed Byrne Hi Everyone, after a hiatus, the aptotude league is back for it's 26th cycle. I have taken over the duties from James Rowan. Entries are open for new players until April 22nd. No need to sign up if you are currently involved. If you want to opt out please send me an aptomail.

Tom Cappleman I've got 2 games against Jack. I'd definitely like to only play him once please

Zarte Siempre There definitely seems to be an incorrect number of games as 213 isn't a multiple of 28.

Ed Byrne yeah there is, I started manually typing the games in, then I realised that I could do all the fixtures automatically, I forgot to remove the duplicates. I shall do so now.

Jon Wilford Since the bottom division has ten of us in it I believe that 213 is the correct overall number of fixtures(6×28+1×45)... so for every duplicate there is a missing fixture... I think Stephen R v Jack Worsley?

Ed Byrne yeah I notice that missing, I shall add that fixture thanks for telling me

Ed Byrne still quite a lot of fixtures to be completed with the deadline two days away. I will extend until Saturday June 11th to give time to complete the remaining 105 fixtures.

Robin M Hi Eddy, I'll do my best to try and arrange suitable times within the next two days.

Ian Volante I imagine that the move from Java will have caused a few people to stop playing - I might be wrong though. If nothing else, such upheaval might justify an extension.

Tracey Mills I will do my best to play what I have left

Anthony Endsor Hi Eddy. Just to let you know, the fixtures I had left have disappeared now. Does this mean you have changed your mind about the extension?

Ed Byrne no, play the fixtures you have to play if you can and send me a link of the game if you can

Johnny Canuck Um, my game with Robert was part of Fastest Finger First, not Aptotude.

Ian Volante Are there any tables to look at?

Ed Byrne I should have done them, I will compile them tomorrow.

Ian Volante Ta :)

Transude Transude Yeah tables would be awesome if poss!

John Gillies Hi Eddy, would it be possible just to withdraw me from this tourney and give everyone I'm supposed to play a win?

Ed Byrne I am uploading the tables as I create them, Transude Transude is winner of the aptotude 26th cycle, I am creating the tables for other divisions as I write.

Ed Byrne Division 2 table.

Ed Byrne division 3 table http://challonge.com/aptotudeleague26div3 slowly but surely getting the tables done, sorry for being a twat about them

Jon Elmer Hi Eddy. As tournament organiser it's your prerogative to do what you like with unplayed games, but I think in past rounds they were scored as "<average> - 0" in favour of the player with the most fixtures played, and 0 - 0 if the two players had played the same number of games. Scoring as <average> - <average> doesn't seem fair as someone could score 130 in their first game then just ignore all future game requests, knowing they're unlikely to beat that score again.

Chris Butler Just want to notify that I don't wish to be in the next cycle as my membership is up and I won't be renewing until Swedish language format is added. Cheers for organising :)

Zarte Siempre Swedish will probably be an ancient language by the time Eddy actually moves this on.

Ed Byrne I plan on starting the next cycle in a few weeks, I am working on the rest of the tables this afternoon.

Ed Byrne http://challonge.com/aptotudeleague26div4 division 4 table

Ed Byrne http://challonge.com/aptotudeleague26div5 division 5 table.

Chris Hare Some sort of record for the longest afternoon ever, surely.

Ed Byrne yeah its getting beyond a joke now to be honest. I really must do tables 6 and 7 tomorrow and get the next cycle going.

Michelle N Can I please withdraw from the next cycle?

Ed Byrne I will withdraw you from next cycle

Ed Byrne http://challonge.com/aptotudeleague26div6 Division 6 table. Just one more to go. Sorry about wait.
