Event 13 information and score reporting

Recommended Posts

hmmmmmmmmmmmmm I happened to be looking at round 2 and I see scores posted not sure those should count since I was asking opps to play boards I did not know were already completed (for round one) and they may have accepted for practice just a thought. I didn't know round one was finished and didn't even know I had qualified for round 2.

Gszes, Round one isn't finished yet. Smerriman just put up the sheet for those guaranteed to move on. The scores are only those carried forward from round one. Just chill out for a week or two.

 

I guess my main frustration with this IMP format is when the bot randomly decides to hand opp 12/13 imps on a big board by misbidding/misdefending. Then the joy of carrying this score forward to round two without the countering bot gifts against other opps that allowed you to advance. I wonder if round two ought to be 32 boards against the other group qualifiers, with an additional 16 against the players in original group, if we are going to have carry-forward.

I thought about having longer matches in the second round robin, but it gets a bit complicated - for those you've already played with, are you having two independent 16 board VP results, or trying to combine the two in a 32 board VP result - neither really gives an accurate/fair result. And given you've already had a match against someone, it seems wrong to scrub it out entirely. (You could argue the same for the semi/final, but thought at that point 1v4 and 2v3 was enough advantage.)

 

As it stands, the 12 people in round 2 will end up playing one challenge against everyone else. Whether you got unlucky/lucky in that challenge doesn't really change if you played it earlier or played it now.

 

Plus, I didn't want to overload everyone with challenges - personally I'm all for making them longer, but 26x16 boards for the two finalists seemed on par with earlier events.

 

So will stick as is for now, but happy to take suggestions for the next event (which will be MP, so changes things a lot).

broze, that's two lapsed challenges - I would prefer not to assign penalties, but it's also unfair on the other players. Given past history I'm going to assume for the time being there is a valid reason, but please be more careful in accepting (or autoaccepting) challenges if there is a chance you can't complete them.

Hi. There was only one lapsed challenge from heart76, no? I didn't notice that one as I couldn't log on for a few days. I have now issued challenges to the remaining players in my group and will finish the matches this weekend.

Oops, my apologies. Misread Natali_s message and thought that was yours, not ArtKs. Ignore the above, that's all fine.

SOMETHING IS MESSED UP I am not even aware round 2 has started and I have 3 scores posted already. NOT RIGHT -- all scoring before the official beginning of the 2nd round are practice not official I am sorry for making your first coordinating effort

more difficult FWIW I object to any scores posted for round two concerning me ------- I do not believe the first round is finished yet 6/28 was the unofficial end of round 1 and round 2 has never been announced that I have seen. I have scores posted from opps I played in the first round where there were some technical problems and I issued unneeded challenges (please check my entries).

Nothing is messed up. Round 2 has not started. Read the rules in the first post, and/or the replies to the post where you said exactly the same thing a few days ago.

derppp has just beaten zupey 40-19:

which finalises the qualifiers in Group C.

 

The only remaining important challenge is mine vs kuhchung, with basically the winner (given a 4.5 IMP headstart for him) taking the last spot. I haven't seen Chris online in the last week or so, so he may be away.

 

Feel free to start round 2 in the meantime - same rules; one 16 board best hand IMP challenge against the 8 qualifiers you haven't yet played.
