Title: Cup #1205, Comet Dodging 2023
Post by: Lancelot on August 13, 2023, 07:54 PM
I hope that I will be able to maintain the tradition of holding the Cup according to this scheme every year.

We will assume that I came on as a substitute in this match :D

Mod, approve please

It will be very cool  ;D

I see that the players are not joining the cup very actively, so we will start playing the cup when we have 24 players

if you want to start the cup, you can try to help look for players
Title: Re: Cup #1205, Comet Dodging 2023
Post by: Danger135 on August 23, 2023, 12:46 PM
The nearest possible way is 4 groups, 5 players in each.
 (Total 20 players) Need 1 more, you lucky bastards.

with 24 players there will be 8 groups, not 4 like it would be with 20 players. don't forget that this is not a standard playoff

Groups is done.

Good luck to all.

Try to play all your matches in the 2-3 weeks.

If you do not have the opportunity to play your games - write about it in the comments, we will look for a way out of the situation together.

Groups 3 & 4 very tough, noobs in my group, free pass into knockouts.  Good luck to everyone playing for second place, no one going to out-comet me this year.

I am available pretty much any day after 2pm GMT, I can be pretty flexible, though of course my dating life and family come first :D

I would like to remind all players that at the end of the time for the group round, I will look at the groups and move the players to the playoffs. players in inactive groups are not eligible for the playoffs.

perhaps if someone wants to replace himself or is ready to play, write to me in a PM or in the comments of the cup.

Thank you for attention  :)

what about group 2?

most of the group games played.

maybe group 2, walrus and xankriegor will be able to catch up with the rest soon?

Yes, I watch some players in other cups and leagues as well, their activity, and activity in the cup

Well, you still have time to finish your group games.

I don't want to put players in the playoffs in the future who haven't played group games. it will be unfair to those who fought for the playoffs.

in this case, when the groups are inactive, I would suggest MI make a function that would allow you to select a more active player from another group, and take him to the playoffs instead of the inactive members of the group.

think it would be better

If neither Irtis or Kaleu has responded to this thread within the next 24 hours, I will ask MI to remove me as a player because it's not fair that I get "unplayed games" or poor statistics because other people can't make the effort to play their games.

Especially since I've seen Kaleu active on other Cup threads. It feels disrespectful.

Well, I guess I'll have to personally intervene in your group.

I wrote to each of your opponents in the group.
I think that two days is enough to understand the situation.

I hope they respond to my messages.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, when I messaged Irtis asking him to reply to the thread here to organize game I got this reply:

So I don't even know what his intentions are...

I know about this, don't worry.

There are still one game left that I am waiting for others to play in group, then the play off stage will begin
Title: Re: Cup #1205, Comet Dodging 2023
Post by: Lancelot on September 12, 2023, 08:21 AM
There are a few days left before the end of the timeout for the group round games.

If nothing changes during the remaining time:

Group 2 - Irtis wrote to me in PM a week and a half ago that he fell ill with Covid. But I see him on #AG sometimes. I saw that moment when Kaleu was online and they could play their game.
Therefore, based on everything I wrote, with a probability of >90% of the group Komodo and Kaleu will reach the playoffs

Group 7 - The situation is a bit controversial, but I think it would be fair if Saint and Zalo qualify for the playoffs from the group. Saint from first place because he was able to play all the games in the group. Zalo is in second place because he has one game won.

I don’t see any reason to give more time to play in groups for a scheme like CD, because one match between players in a group lasts about 20-25 minutes maximum.

You had enough time to find a free half hour to play.

Peace.

The group round is over.

The playoff stage has started.

You have 22 days to complete the cup.

We have bo7 in any playoff game, final and bronze games too

If you have any questions about your opponent, write to me in PM or in the cup comments, I will try to help.

Good luck.

Saint and Jago, what's up with your game?  :-\

I think I have cause for concern, despite the fact that you have plenty of time to play

pavlepavle, thursday (tomorrow) 14:00 GMT?
Title: Re: Cup #1205, Comet Dodging 2023
Post by: Lancelot on September 25, 2023, 10:39 AM
Dear mods, what would you do with Saint and Jago in my place?
I reminded both players about the game more than once in PM.
I don't want to move either of them forward because I don't see them doing what it takes to play their match.
I would promote Kirill forward in the tournament bracket so that he would play with Xan.

What would you do in my case?

I look at the playoffs and it's not very active; I look at the remaining time and begin to worry about your punctuality.  :(

About Saing and Jago...

If within 2-3 days you do not play your match, you will both lose, Kirill will advance further. I think it's fair

Because I don't have any good reason from anyone in the cup to add time to the games.

Peace.

Honestly, just use your best judgement and do whatever you believe is the best option!
Title: Re: Cup #1205, Comet Dodging 2023
Post by: XanKriegor on September 25, 2023, 03:43 PM
Pretty much games ahead and only 11 days, i would proceed Kirill and if, IF Jago+saint appear, then we would deal with it.
Add: 22 days to finish the cup, but 11 days till... what?
Title: Re: Cup #1205, Comet Dodging 2023
Post by: TheKomodo on September 30, 2023, 06:36 PM
Big Billly, let me know when you are free, probably easier for me since I have more free time and it is very quick game!
Title: Re: Cup #1205, Comet Dodging 2023
Post by: Lancelot on October 02, 2023, 07:29 PM
Hmm..

I think that if Billy and Saint don’t play their match before Komo plays his match with Stasyan, then Billy will most likely advance.

There are reasons for this decision
Title: Re: Cup #1205, Comet Dodging 2023
Post by: Lancelot on October 03, 2023, 05:11 PM
So, at this cup stage I’m talking about the following:
Komo and Stas9n, as well as Saint and Billy, have two days to finish their matches.
Otherwise, Komo and Billy will progress further in the cup.

Such cases happen, sometimes due to the intractability of players with a moderator or another player.

Since there is not enough time until the end of the cup, I will add time. I think it will be three days for each stage of the cup.

I will not let the cup remain in oblivion, I will bring it to the end.

Moreover, I gave enough time for you to finish your matches.

Peace.
Title: Re: Cup #1205, Comet Dodging 2023
Post by: Lancelot on October 04, 2023, 06:02 PM
The time for playing losers bracket matches has been set.

TheKomodo and Stas9n played their game as agreed.

Saint and BigBilly are currently the only match that the players could not agree to play, so I moved Billy forward because he is more accessible to communicate and play.

BigBilly and pavlepavle, as well as Kirill470, try to finish your matches before the end of time.

TheKomodo and Rocket will not play until Sunday, Komo has a good reason for this, and the cup moderator was notified of this in advance.
But the set time also applies to them.

Time will be added separately for the final leg of the cup playoffs.

Peace.

Final match is bo9, I think the finalists deserve it.

If you agree for game, let me know, I will try not to miss this match  :D

Update on my situation.

I was supposed to return home today but all trains to Scotland were cancelled so hoping to catch one tomorrow, though might be cancelled until Monday as well...

Title: Re: Cup #1205, Comet Dodging 2023
Post by: Lancelot on October 07, 2023, 09:35 PM
Np  :)

The most important thing about this is that players have responsibility and inform in advance about possible problems.

Unlike some other players...

Post by: Lancelot on October 08, 2023, 09:16 PM
I look at the tournament bracket and don’t understand anything.

Isn't the second finalist of the cup pavlepavle? TUS identified him as playing for 3rd place.

Is this a bug? or the finalist has not yet been born for this cup?

Lol.

UPD: thx to MI for answer, now i understand xD

really wild playoff system


For those who do not know how the final playoff branch works here, in Double Elimination, I will retell it from MI words as I understand it.

"After a pair of players with a Winner's bracket and a Loser's bracket have played,
the winner of the Winner's bracket goes to the Final, the loser of the Winner's bracket goes to the match for Bronze;

The winner of the Loser's bracket advances to the Bronze medal match.

Next, the one who wins the bronze medal match goes to the Final.

At the same time, the finalist player from Winners bracket has the opportunity to lose his match with the right to rematch (for example, a second life), because he did not lose in the playoff."

Dear players, cup is finished.

Thanks to all players for participating.

Congratulations to:

pavlepavle with 1st place and Gold Medal
Stas9n1991 with 2nd place and Silver Medal
XanKriegor with 3rd place and Bronze Medal

Thank you all for your activity.

By the way, if I’m not mistaken, this cup was the first time a player with a winner’s bracket lost in the final, that is, he lost twice. I think this cup will go down in TUS history, if I'm right.

See you next year. I hope so.

Ggs.
