Dave Robjohns Event 2 fixtures are up.

Champions league is an odd format, and notably, player 1 chooses ALL letters and numbers throughout a match. Therefore, I've manually gone done the fixtures such that it should be 4 fixtures each as Player 1 and 4 as Player 2. This arguably isn't perfect, so see below on a poll about playing two matches vs each opponent to compensate.

Secondly, it's weird because it's winners only. Note that you can win by being silly on the numbers: https://www.apterous.org/viewgame.php?game=2601164 - this is particularly significant if you like 6S - if within 10 is impossible, declaring nothing could still lose.

Top player in each group makes quarters. 2nd & 3rd make last 16.

Deadlines:
Groups: 22nd July
L12/16: 27th July
QFs: 1st August
SFs: 4th August
Final/3rd PO: 7th August

Dave Robjohns Please 'Nice' this if you think each fixture should be played twice for fairness

Dave Robjohns

Dave Robjohns Please 'Nice' this if you think it's fine as it is, and it's luck of the draw whether you're P1 or P2 for each game

Matthew Tassier

Matthew Tassier We've got enough fixtures, 4 home 4 away is pretty even already, and a bit of asymmetry is more fun.

Fiona T

Fiona T I agree - I think ideally you'd have half and half (I'm player 2 in all mine) but with so many games to play I think we roll with it.

Dave Robjohns

Dave Robjohns I’m pretty confident it’s 4 of each so as even as I could make it without duplicating the games, the listing below just has newer account listed second so you must be the newest account in your group. Prune’s played 6 so far, 2 as P1 and 4 as P2 - if it works as intended Prune’s two remaining games are P1

Jack Worsley

Jack Worsley Player 1 also has the advantage of declaring second in every letters round. Despite this, I didn't notice a substantial home advantage when I ran my Champions League tournaments a few years ago. And the fact that everyone plays four at home and four away should even it out anyway. So personally, I'd be inclined to keep it the way it is, if that's what you're happy with.

Dave Robjohns It seems from the vote people are pretty much split down the middle. Looking in a bit more detail though, groups A & B seem in favour of playing twice (3-1 & 3-2) while C and D are not (1-2 & 0-3).

I'll look again in a couple of days, and if any groups have reached 5 in favour of playing a second round with reversed fixtures, I'll set it up, but otherwise, I'll do nothing.

For reference, average score so far for P1 is 8.50 and for P2 is 7.72, but you have 4 games as P1 and 4 as P2, so the question is more down to who you're playing as P1 and who as P2.

Sam Cappleman-Lynes Am I allowed to retract my vote after seeing my results? :)

Dave Robjohns Last 12 games are up, along with the draw for the rest. In all Last 12 games, the player coming second in their group goes first (and gets all picks). Similarly, in the QFs, the group winners get the privilege of picking.

Deadlines are as mentioned above (27th for L16, 1st for QFs, 4th for semis, 7th for medal games)

Dave Robjohns

Dave Robjohns Same is true in football (event 3), but I'll put them both in this notification! (Deadlines identical)

Event 63 of 66:
🥇 🇨🇳 Jack Worsley
🥈 🇬🇧 Joseph H
🥉 🇫🇷 Thomas Cappleman

Tourney round: Aptolympics 2020: Event 2: Field Hockey

<< Event 1: 3 vs 3 Basketball | Event 3: Football >>

Notes from the organizer: The 2nd event of the Aptolympics sees us head outdoors to play hockey, so strap on your shin pads and grab a mouthcard as we have our first individual tournament of the games.

You'll be placed into groups of 6ish, and play the champions league format. A lucky few will reach the knockouts, and eventually we'll crown our medallists, winning 2 gold/silver/bronze.

This format was chosen as hockey is similar to football, and 11-a-side; this format features 11 rounds.

I'll add some prunes if necessary to make the numbers up.

Key. Green: winner. Red: loser. Bold: max game. *: game decided on a tiebreaker. Struck-out names and scores are players who have since been deactivated. A struck-out individual score is an excluded performance.
