dr460n, NinjaCamel, get your bronze match played! it's been more than 2 weeks since the semis have been finished.

Time's up!

Group 1: easily the least productive group. I've heard that Dibz won his game against crash, but since he did not report, I can't really do anything with that result.
Crash seems to be the most active player, so he wins the group. The others will partipate in a lottery with equal chances. I sorted them alphabetically and used a random sequence generator make up a sequence (http://www.random.org/sequences/)
The player receiving the number 1 goes through to the knock-out section. The sequence was 1-3-2, which means that Dibz goes through as #2.

Please don't be this inactive again, though. You're making others wait.

Group 2: 1. Dulek 2. Random00.
Group 3: 1. Madden 2. DarkOne.
Group 4: 1. yanme 2. chakkman. Tenori, be more active in getting your games played next cup!

From now on, I'm having a deadline of 2 weeks for each round. If inactivity was a problem in one round, you will most likely be disqualified if the next round is also inhibited by inactivity!
If you have holidays coming up that will prevent you from playing your game in time post it here. At least then we'll know you can't play and we can arrange for something else.

So: Deadline for the first knockout round is February 1st!

If you sign up for a cup, you should do your best to get your games played. At some point, you should be able to see that "I'll see you on msn/icq/snoop" just doesn't get your games played.
Unfortunately, mods are dependant on the co-operation of the players. And while in most cases, the participants do a good job at getting their games played, but a few people give problems.

Not everybody uses snoop, not everybody uses msn, not everybody uses IRC, but there is one mode of communication that all participants of TUS cups have in common: the TUS site.
I suggests players use the forum. Arrange games.
Perhaps the moderator can announce a set time for the games to be played.

I'm not sure how to handle repeat offenders (so to speak). I don't think they're cut out for cups like these tbh.

And to those who don't think 2 weeks is enough to get in on the action, save up your replays for Showcase 3

No guarantee that that will happen of course, but still!

Tick Tock, guys.

Post your wins already for the LG TT cup, sir!

posting here cause you don't seem to read your PMs (which you should do)

He has, sir! He's only missing feche's coice of music atm

I still say that game should be voided with the score being 2-0!

Well done, sir Camel I guess this proves once and for all that ninjas > pirates

FaD: "Fair play". Look it up some day.

Ahoy there, Reso.
I don't think we played much back in the day

Didnt see it as a complaint from your side DarkOne. I was more addressing to MI and NinjaCamel. Anyway i ll proceed FaD to the final now. GL both of you, and pls get this done without any further incidents, thx.

Edit: Ok, MI already did as it seems... sometimes i wonder what i am here for . Probably to get hated for unpopular decisions .

But you're not a mod to make popular decisions, sir! You're here to make correct decisions.
And to prove that point, I applauded the post with your final decision on the semifinals

Congrats on the bronze, mister Island Well earned

This is why it wasn't an official complaint, but just me being pissed off at FaD having way much more luck than he deserves

kick his ass, NC

Right, holidays are over, so this is your final week!

I want to be able to see whether you've tried or not now (sorry, but it seems necessary in order to get games played)

In case no games are played, I'm going to make these decisions:

Group 1: Almost no games played! It seems I'll have to have a lottery here to decide the winner. Crash has won his one game, so he seems a favourite to go through.
Group 4: TenoriTaiga is out of the cup if he doesn't play

Regardless of posts, I suggest that people get to WN saturday 7:00 PM GMT to get their games played.

If you are certain you can't get on WN at that time, then please post a different time for your opponent.

Don't be so sure!
Cueshark has informed me that winning this edition of showcase is more difficult than the first time around

how about just having real colour maps on wmdb?

bah.
I repeat: bah.

edit: this is not an official complaint. Just showing the amount of sheer luck FaD had.
