Andres S. Alright so this has been approved on July 10th, SO the FULL deadline for sign-ups will be July 14th at 5am GMT.

Andres S.

Andres S. And Cyril Topher's hopping in too, welcome!

Andres S.

Andres S. So do Barry Evans & Steven Oldham, two more day's until sign-ups close! Then I'll give you guys 5 extra days to do the deciding rounds.

Cyril Topher

Cyril Topher What is this Andres? I just sign up to anything that is open.

Andres S.

Andres S. The main goal of this is to play the best you can and see how close to the maximum score you can get.

Dan Spinks

Dan Spinks Cyril, you can join me in the 'no idea what this is' club. I've read the description a number of times and am none the wiser, I'm just going to keep playing until Andres tells me to stop

Ian Volante

Ian Volante I've no idea either. However, in some shock to have the highest score at this point, that's never happened.

George Armstrong

George Armstrong To maybe help clarify, if you scored 117 and the max was 130, you'd have 90% but if you scored 114 and the max was 120, you'd have 95% and would be placed higher despite having a lower score. It's all about not dropping points really.

Matthew Tassier

Matthew Tassier Well played Ian.
(Nobody tell Ian quite how low down the scoreboard he is.)

Andres S.

Andres S. Thank you for the clarification George, that really helps exemplify what I'm putting down here.

Dan Spinks

Dan Spinks ah, ok, yep, think I get it now :)

Cyril Topher

Cyril Topher Oh cool, I’m sure I’ll do well in this tournament.

Andres S.

Andres S. Alright sign-ups are now FULLY closed; now for the few people that are left, you guys have until July 19th at 5am GMT to complete your games.

Fi Thorne

Fi Thorne Am I still in this or have I been eliminated?

Andres S.

Andres S. The spreadsheet has all the info you need, but to inform you right here right now... you're not.

Andres S.

Andres S. Not eliminated I mean.

Fi Thorne

Fi Thorne Happy days! :-)

Derek Matthews

Derek Matthews I assume I have been eliminated although the spreadsheet tells you absolutely nothing

Wesley Barton

Wesley Barton You're comfortably in, Derek. Ronan seems to have been eliminated by missing the deadline.

Derek Matthews

Derek Matthews Thanks. So i guess we just wait for more info now then.

Dave Robjohns

Dave Robjohns This was just a seeding round Derek - everyone that played is still involved, and if you look at the "deciding rounds" sheet it shows you're in the blue team

Andres S.

Andres S. Just watch out for the VERY dark red for future reference. I'm going to dub it as the no-no area but I'm happy for other suggestions lol

Tourney round: Make The Odds: The ACTUAL Deciding Rounds

<< Deciding Rounds | Round #1 >>

Notes from the organizer: Hello everyone, once again thank you to the ones who've signed up to see if YOU can make the odds! Now I promised I'd say why this first tournament I'm hosting is called what it is. Well if you've had a very keen eye you'd know that I made a ticket on this idea about a few weeks ago. For the ones who haven't seen that ticket, I'll explain the process here:

Everyone on one designated group will play a standard 15-rounder against another group (essentially a left vs. right deal). Based on the raw and maximum score accrued, that will make a percentage for you; this is essentially you making your own odds; the two people with the LOWEST percentages will be eliminated.

To start this off, everyone that signed up will play against Prune; this is also going to serve as to what side you'll be playing on. As of now, we have an ODD amount of people; in THIS case, the lowest max on the deciding rounds will be eliminated. And if you still want to sign up, you can! I'll be FULLY closing sign-ups FOUR DAYS at 5 am GMT after this gets approved. There's a spreadsheet to show everything that'll be going on from here until the end of this tournament. Hope you all have fun as we get this a 'rollin!
