Zarte Siempre Alex Fish has entered. We now need 5 for a full division 10.

Zarte Siempre

Zarte Siempre Jack Slane in. 4 more needed.

Dan McColm

Dan McColm Can you remove me from this cycle? I'm going to university tomorrow and can't really afford to spend time on Apterous during term time

Dan McColm

Dan McColm Actually scratch that, I'm sure I can find time to play a few games in the space of 6 weeks

Zarte Siempre

Zarte Siempre Good, cause it'd be a real pain in the arse to make a change now. Please ladies and gents, if you wish to withdraw from the following cycle, do it DURING the cycle that's present at the time. And before the play-offs. Otherwise you're fucking me around a bit, cause it throws the play-offs totally out.

Zarte Siempre

Zarte Siempre We had another drop-out from a lower division, but we have 2 more new entries! Gemma Church and James Bradley, welcome aboard.

Alan Young

Alan Young First tourney I've entered, looking forward to it :)

Nadroj Rekrab

Nadroj Rekrab Why am i bottom of the bottom... This is a disgrace

Matt Morrison

Matt Morrison you love it up the bottom

Sean D

Sean D Cheers for organising this Zarte. My favourite tournament. Seven games guaranteed and most of them should be competitive. Promotion/relegation keeps things interesting . The only problem I see with the format is that with newcomers starting at the bottom it could be nigh on impossible for a low ranked player to get out of a disproportionately strong division 10. I don't know if there's anything that can be done about that though.

Zarte Siempre

Zarte Siempre Sean, I'd be worried about that myself, but for this:

On average I'd say I push 5 people out per cycle, either because they've asked to be so or because they didn't play any games in the last cycle. This means that often the top 5 from the bottom divisions will go up, each time. This means that not only can most people go up quicker to a division that's more likely to be of their level, but it also means that those who AREN'T yet of the ability to rise up, get kept closer to the bottom, but are more likely to be kept there with those of a similar level :) If you were to look at some of the bottom divisions early on, you'd have thought the same thing then, but they've balanced out over time, it just takes a little patience :)

Nadroj Rekrab

Nadroj Rekrab that's a childish comment matt Morrison... I like that

Charlie Reams

Charlie Reams Please close sign-ups for this tournament if there's no more space for them.

Zarte Siempre

Zarte Siempre Tables have been updated. I'm constantly fucking it up though, so please double-check your own results too :)

Alan Young

Alan Young where can we see the tables?

Alan Young

Alan Young Thanks Zarte

Zarte Siempre

Zarte Siempre Dan McColm has confirmed that he'll be dropping out of the next cycle.

Alan Young

Alan Young Hey Zarta, just looked at the standings and results for my bracket, my score with Dave Nicholson has been put in the wrong way around in your challonge results

Zarte Siempre

Zarte Siempre *checks* So it was, my apologies. All fixed now.

Callum Todd

Ziggy Davidson

Ziggy Davidson Is James Bailes the new 'Doctor' in 5 days time? The hat was the clue!

James Bailes

James Bailes Lol :-)

Zarte Siempre

Zarte Siempre Unfortunately, we're now up to 3 people withdrawing by choice for the next cycle as Dylan and Adam Gillard are also pulling out. This means that atm, only one playoff game will be needed.

Zarte Siempre

Zarte Siempre I'm closing division 1 a few hours early, as Dan won't be playing any games today.

Zarte Siempre

Zarte Siempre Right then! Well, the tables have all been updated, but appear to be showing a LOT of misinformation. I don't know what Challonge uses to separate ties, but despite what the division 1 table says, the champion of the 8th cycle of Apto-tude is JAMES NGUYEN!!!!!

Congratulations James, that's a new name on the imaginary trophy. As well as that, James also broke the record for the most points score in a 7 game run with a magnificent total of 828!

Please remember when looking at the final tables, that the tie-breaker when 2 players are on the same number of wins is total points scored :)

The next cycle will begin in a week's time - so apart from the 2 people who have the only play-off to play in this cycle, please do enjoy a well-deserved week off :)

Tourney round: Apto-tude League: The 8th cycle
