Charlie Reams

Charlie Reams I can add other tournament formats when the time comes.

Dave Robjohns

Dave Robjohns Reminder - this is taking place tonight at 8pm, with signups from 7:30 in aptochat

Scott Babb

Scott Babb Hi guys, am I not in this tournament or am I still to be assigned a match?

Adam Dexter

Adam Dexter Is it down?

Fiona T

Fiona T tis for me

Sam Cappleman-Lynes

Sam Cappleman-Lynes Why have I lost my game against Anthony? It's still in progress!

M S R

M S R I think the game is down again.

Dave Robjohns

Dave Robjohns Sorry Scott if I didn't make it clear - people had to confirm their signups in the chat from 7:30. I'll try to sort something out for you when apto's up and running again

Dave Robjohns

Dave Robjohns Haha, I was wondering that Sam!!

Scott Babb

Scott Babb Ok noted, cheers Dave

Simeon Murray

Simeon Murray Sorry all
, I cannot get back onto the server

Anthony Endsor

Anthony Endsor Sam, I apologise. I appear to have won rather unjustly against you. I presume you got that last numbers game before the crash?

Dave Robjohns

Dave Robjohns Server has died for all of us for the moment I think :( We'll give it a bit longer but looking likely this will turn into a tourney over several days :(

I'd need to sort something with Charlie though as it currently set to end tonight!

Sam Cappleman-Lynes

Sam Cappleman-Lynes Anthony, you can see from the recap that we both solved the final numbers game (that was the last one I saw before the crash) and our scores are tied. Obiviously no idea what happened to make the game end :)

Anthony Endsor

Anthony Endsor All we can hope for is the game will somehow reset itself when apterous comes back up.

Dave Robjohns

Dave Robjohns Indeed, otherwise for that game I'd suggest a rematch which I can add to the tourney :) Very odd bug

Anthony Endsor

Anthony Endsor Yeah that'll be the answer if it doesn't reset Dave.

Sam Cappleman-Lynes

Sam Cappleman-Lynes At least for Sudden Death, a rematch is essentially equivalent to resuming the game! The only difference could be Player 1 / Player 2 status.

Sam Cappleman-Lynes

Sam Cappleman-Lynes Chat logs actually says our game was a draw: https://www.apterous.org/chat.php?base=1587842400&dir=earlier

Anthony Endsor

Anthony Endsor Very true Sam.

Anthony Endsor

Anthony Endsor Oh? Well as far as we're concerned it's still ongoing so we'll take Dave's suggestion I think.

Fiona T

Fiona T Sounds very similar to my top dog bug the other day https://www.apterous.org/ticket_view.php?ticket=5453
Feel free to add to the ticket

Anthony Endsor

Anthony Endsor Thanks for that Fiona. Yes it looks like something similar. I'll add a comment to it to report this.

Dave Robjohns

Dave Robjohns I suppose neither of your ratings changed either so maybe the colours are completely arbitrary!

There was a draw in Div4 of AptoLeague where I'm in green and opponent in red so I suppose that's just how draws look.

A further question is why it stops at 7 rounds though, that's not really sudden death...

Sam Cappleman-Lynes

Sam Cappleman-Lynes I have an ongoing Sudden Death against Soap which is currently on round 73 or something, so it's not a limitation of the format

Dave Robjohns

Dave Robjohns Looking at the logs, the server is currently being reset. Hopefully we will therefore be able to resume after that. When it happened earlier today downtime was around 20 minutes, so I hope to be able to continue the tournament around 9pm.

Anthony Endsor

Anthony Endsor Apparently we should be back up in 20-30 minutes. Charlie has commented on the forum. :)

Anthony Endsor

Anthony Endsor Looks like our comments have crossed in the post Dave lol.

Steve H

Steve H Which forum is Charlie's comment in Anthony?

M S R

M S R Here Steve-http://c4countdown.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=12&p=187001&sid=dfefd3787985a3a9645133b67fef6d6f#p187001

Steve H

Steve H Found it, thanks, Matthew

Dave Robjohns

Dave Robjohns In the wait, here are the tables:
A: Bradley 3/3, Neil 2/3, Ben 1/3, Fiona 0/3
B: Sam 2/2, Anthony 2/2, Andy 1/3, Zack 0/3
C: Keith 1/1 Dave 1/1 Stephen 1/2 Adam 0/2
D: Tom 1/1 Steve 0/1 MSR 0/0 Simeon 0/0

Upper-Quarters:
Bradley vs 2nd in B
1st in B vs Neil
1st in C vs 2nd in D
1st in D vs 2nd in C

Lower-Quarters:
Ben vs Zack
Andy vs Fiona
3rd in C vs 4th in D
3rd in D vs 4th in C

In each bracket's semis, winner of game 1 plays winner of game 3 & 2 vs 4, so you shouldn't play anyone twice unless in the final.

Steve H It's baaaack

Anthony Endsor Yay :)

Steve H

Steve H Dave, I hope u run more of these. I look forward to it

Dave Robjohns

Dave Robjohns Yeah I'm definitely planning on doing more :) Got uni exams this month but should be a fair few of these during summer!

Steve H

Steve H Good luck with the exams

Anthony Endsor

Anthony Endsor Yeah, good luck with your exams Dave, and we look forward to more of these in the future :)

Tourney round: Sudden Death Saturdays: Normal Numbers

Single Conundrum Mayhem >>

Notes from the organizer: Not sure why I've come up with such a morbid name, but I will be running a Sudden Death Numbers tournament on Saturday!

The idea of the comp is that literally *anyone* can win this tournament - even the best numbers players slip up from time to time, and on tough rounds, being 1 closer than your opponent is enough.

The tournament should begin at 8pm with signups in apto chat from 7:30, but feel free to sign-up here so I can see rough numbers and ping everyone a notification via a comment on the day.

Will most likely work as a group stage followed by knockouts (depending on numbers).

I say 'Saturdays' as if this runs decently I will look to host more of these, bringing in other formats and letters games - things like Aegilops, Junior & Omelette lend themselves well to this format. Apto doesn't have these as a built in tournament format but it's easy enough to set up (simply 1 round games)

Hope this sounds appealing - see you there if so!

Ran from: 19 – 25 April 2020. Format: Sudden Death Numbers. Matches: One-off. Approved.

Organizers: Dave Robjohns.

Signed up: Adam Dexter, Jason Turner, Keith C Williams, Thomas Carey, Sam Cappleman-Lynes, Anthony Endsor, Callum Todd, Matty Artell, Andy SC, Scott Babb, Bradley Horrocks, Zack K, Fiona T, Ronan M Higginson, Dave Robjohns, M S R.
