Dan Byrom

Dan Byrom We have one day left on this. Does anyone who hasn't finished their games fancy a midday sesh to get them done?

Richard Decker

Richard Decker I'll try and get on when I can tomorrow - not sure I'll be around midday but morning and late afternoon will be good!

David Holmes

David Holmes I have one game left against Perry Sarb but they haven't logged in since the 17th!

Adam Latchford

Adam Latchford Yeah Perry enjoys an apto vacation. I tried a message weeks ago now but it happens. Probably a good thing to be able to escape this site for a few weeks sometimes!

Dan Byrom

Dan Byrom Hazel, Kieran, Richard, Sarah - I'm only around today for the next 2 hours. Will keep checking and hope to catch you!

Rhys Benjamin

Rhys Benjamin The lines are now closed. Please don't try to vote as your vote won't be counted and you may still be charged.

And whilst we count the votes (i.e. I'm at work and I don't have the spreadsheet to hand), enjoy some music you don't have to vote for! [insert interval act here]

Rhys Benjamin

Rhys Benjamin OK, so...

- Perry Sarb has been disqualified, all games against them are therefore null and void.

This therefore means we played 192 out of 210 games without Perry.

The final results, with points before deductions, are as follows:

1 Tom Cappleman 169
2 Adam Latchford 144
3 Florence C-L 107
4 Mike Lee 96
5 Dan Byrom 87 (102)
6 Colin Thompson 81 (85)
7 Hazel Drury 64 (91)
8 David Holmes 58
9 Richard Decker 56 (62)
10 Ian Wray 48
11 Fiona T 46 (9x0)
12 Matt Gould 46 (54) (10x0)
13 Dave Kempshall 37 (41)
14 Richard Barnett 35 (37)
15 Mark Jeary-Fairbairn 20
16 Dan Spinks 19 (22)
17 Kieran Bray 14 (17)
18 Steven Oldham 10 (13)
19 Gav Grace 5
20 Andy SC 1 (1)
21 Sarah Binns 0 (0)

Adam Latchford

Adam Latchford Congratulations tcap on your first ever apto tournament win!

Tourney round: Eurovision Song Contest: 2025: Grand Final

<< 2025: Sign-Ups

Notes from the organizer: Your objective is very simple: to score as many points as you can against your opponent. The top 10 highest-scoring players against you will receive points "from" you: 12-10-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1. To score points yourself, therefore, you must come in the top 10 highest scores against a particular opponent. In a case of a tie in an individual vote (e.g. if two people score 50 against you), the higher amount of points will be awarded to the game that was played first. In case of a tie in the overall scoreboard, then the tie will be broken by the following procedure: fewest 0s, most 12s, most 10s, most 8s, most 7s (etc), until most 1s. If the scores are still tied, then whoever had the higher score in an individual game will be awarded the higher position.

We'll let it run until the end of June - plenty enough time, right?

UNPLAYED GAMES WILL RESULT IN A UNILATERAL POINTS DEDUCTION, measured by % - for example, a player playing 10 out of 20 games will have their score reduced by 50%. These deductions can be waived if one player can demonstrate a meaningful effort to play the game - **so please include me in any Aptomails** - and will be adjudged to win the game 50-0, so may still gain points from you. This is to avoid deliberate evasion of playing stronger players. Any player who does not play a 40% of their games (taking into account the waiving process described above) will be disqualified. They will not award points, they will not be able to receive points in the games they have played, and games against them will be null and void.

Ran from: 15 May – 30 June 2025. Format: 9 Rounder. Matches: One-off. Approved.

Organizers: Rhys Benjamin.

Fixtures: 231. Completed: 196.
