You all smoke too many peace pipes, I dont get why so many 68ers show solidarity with the current situation.
Didnt 2010, 09, 08 AND 07 show the exigency of protecting the teams that are observable in a mayor number of games cause of ELO?! We had cheaters in nearly every tourney around the lobby, we had "creep to #1-spot with any help" -idiots and last but not least we EXACTLY KNOW about dozens of second accounts here!!! Whats the sense of a tourney to crown the best team, if THIS team at the end is not only playing the clashes but needs to hire a lobby detective for the games... By the way, we did  - no lie...
its only a matter of time the NC will spotlight the next cheater in this rule-buildup... WATCH OUT CHEATERS! 
Oh hey - is this the reason why so many people wish "good luck" at the start of games?
Finally a big "GRATS" to any who misses this phrase in my games!

Mudda - in your enumeration you forgot to mention the tourney quitters that just steal out of the event once they got beaten up 0-10 in the first match ...
you also forgot to mention that some of those cheaters were recognized exactly due to the fact that the games were OBSERVABLE - and that a lot qualified players noticed the instance cause they watched.

Gosh - I am so what demotivated to suffer those agonies some people spread here... just continue your match Masimo and go and eat some cake with Dea! YOU AT LEAST (as most interested in the lobbys fate) should know why our FED TEAM was cancelled!!! If not ask xsandrax, Dennis or Nayeli, they might explain you, spin doctor ...
My wish for the rest of the lobby: have fun during NC! Let it start folks and I hope for good and thrilling games!

I don`t know what you are talking about Mudda - and I don`t care.
I am more than fed up with you self declared cheaterhunter that even gets personal - if you need to clear something with me do that in PMs!
Probably the best is to ask the board/TD for a special rule to have UEG play ONLY closed games! - (who wants to watch their games anyway?) - or maybee Cheatersihrsohn is the only one in your team that has that problem?

A lot of qualified players observed the cheating games, are you kidding me masimo???????
The only one who called it by name, was me, isn`t it so?????
With endless discussions, or not?????
Better to shut up, yes, yes, the proove is never given 100%, only 99,9%. Sure.
This community don`t need such lame td`s.

Would everyone please cool down here!
I'm happy that we have Masimo organizing everything - otherwise there would be no NC.
Rules are, as they are - wrong timing to discuss them, once a tournament has started.
If you like to play with rough wind,
need more popcorn,
want to complain about lame TDs, dea's posts or the weather of tomorrow
please move to Erwin Dekker or any other thread
... my 1/3 cent as current 1/3 TD
THX!

Till now, bad mood about cheaters, bad behaviour and exaggerated aggressiveness came during our NC. 
This year it already starts before the first NC round. Is this a sign of progress? 
Then it's time to cancel the NC!

my answer is the same as few weeks ago....
If someone believes that he/she can do a better job being TD, than he/she should take action and not only post words. Btw, I think that most people underestimate the work that comes with such a job. I also don't like some of the rules, i.e. the starting rules in connection with a tie. It could be handeled much simpler. But this is the wrong time to discuss this. Such things must be dealt with right after the NC, or in spring. So everyone can think about solutions and can participate in the discussion.
so let us look forward..
@ all NC Teams have fun and interesting games

Well you're just plain wrong. I did bring it up in April and just got brushed aside. I even made a pledge to uphold it which NO ONE else did. Luckily there were 2 other classy people who DID IT, without being asked, when I tied them as player 2. And one of them was Marschall Vorwarts in the final game of the Europe final. How many of you would have done the same thing? NOBODY, you'd all run over your own mother for a nickel.
You let people vote and half of them are too concerned about their 2nd account they don't write anything cause they don't know who they're logged in as. And the rest are like everyone else in the world lazy and prone to inaction - Let's just keep it the way it is. And then the others who just wanna hear themselves talk - zzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
It's simple. There should be no discussion, it's the right thing to do, then DO IT. But you won't and you'll be back here with the same garbage next year.
| thekid wrote on Tue, 20 April 2010 00:45 |
I do have a question, it's inferred in the rules but didn't see it anywhere explicitly and if it's not explicit it can and always does cause problems. Maybe I missed it but if not here goes:
A match with a tie game in it, has swapped starters all the way to game 8, it's now 3-3-1, in my opinion starts should keep swapping to avoid the possible 5-3 start disadvantage. The rules say random on 7th/9th game, so by inference it shouldn't be random but isn't explicit, it should be random if it's 9th, 11th, 13th etc., but didn't see anywhere specifically mentioning this.
And lastly what should make it even more obvious is the vote that the people had to keep swapping starters. If say it's 3-3-1, and you now decide a random start, then the swapping of starters has conferred an advantage in a match where there is a tie to the player who started game 1. For instance if it's 3-2-1, player one goes first with a chance to close it out and then gets a random start if he loses, and at 2-3-1, player one goes first to try to even it up and then gets a random start in the final game. Player one is always at the advantage, that doesn't make sense. The only way to make it fair is to continue swapping unless there is an even # of ties which makes the final game an odd #, 7th, 9th, 11th etc and thereby a random start. So to me its obvious but lets make it obvious in the rules.

| AGT-DN wrote on Wed, 21 April 2010 03:04 |
The TDs see no reason to discuss - the starting rule is clear and remains as it is:
-> FIRST GAME WITH RANDOM STARTING PLAYER
-> FOLLOWING GAMES WITH ALTERNING STARTING PLAYER (EVEN AFTER TIED GAMES) TILL THE DECISIVE GAME
-> THE DECISIVE GAME IS THE GAME PLAYED AT 3-3 (IN BEST-OF-SEVEN MATCHES; 1ST ROUND TO ROUND OF 16) OR AT 4-4 (IN BEST-OF-NINE MATCHES; QUARTERFINAL TO FINAL) AND IT IS STARTED RANDOMLY REGARDLESS TO THE NUMBER OF DRAW GAMES DURING THE MATCH.
-> IN THE CASE THE DECISIVE GAME ENDS TIED THE NEXT GAME(S) WILL BE PLAYED WITH ALTERNING STARTING PLAYER UNTIL ONE PLAYER WINS A GAME
This is NOT about the question whether the starting rule is fair or there could be a better one or yadayadayada...(the last NC showed, there won't be a huge majority for one proposal anyway and discussing during a tournament about rule-changing leads to nothing but confusion) - the players decided via poll about the main points of these tournaments including the rules...
POLL RESULT 3a:
So 38 players endorsed last year's rules - only 2 players thought about changing the rules --> BUT: NONE OF THESE TWO PLAYERS CONTACTED THE TDs CONCERNING THEIR IDEAS!
POLL RESULT 3b:
The majority of 31 players supported the rule concerning ties erps proposed last year - only 8 players wanted to ignore tied games completely (btw. with this option the discussion wouldn't exist) --> BUT ALSO HERE: NO ONE CONTACTED THE TDs!
...and so the full starting rule remains the same as last year:
| erps schrieb am Sun, 03 May 2009 13:10 |
Hi
We - the TDs - have decided that one rule needs a clarification:
The starting order after a tie!
We have chosen the "fair" solution.
Tied games did not count but the starting player alternate every time. If the last game is a tie, the starting player alternates.
A tie means that the "non starting player" played well enough to earn the right to start the next game.
Still, the "probably" last game of a match is determined randomly. If this game is a tie, the starting player alternates till a non-tie game happens.
The rule is in effect from now on for all Single Player Tournaments organized by me or using my generic rules.
Have fun.
|
Maybe thekid is right and this is not a fair rule but the issue is only a 'special case' and this is neither the place nor the time to start discussions regarding changing rules.
dea1 & DN
PS: To clarify I updated the rules on Tiki concerning starting right after a "decisive" game ended tied (this rule was only written down in forum).

Kid, these are the SPWC/EMC/SMC rules.
For NC it WAS changed last year during NC (in effect in the KO already) because somebody (maybe you?) pointed out the problem.
For NC we have
Odd games random
Even games the player who didn't start the corresponding odd game
Regardless of ties (sounting games played not point won)
This way the 5-3 advantage you mentioned cannot happen.
Why did we not change that in SWPC after your PM? Because there was a vote before where people said they wanted to keep the old SPWC rules.

Why on earth did we have a tournament after one with the right way to do it and then let the people who have no clue what they are doing vote on it?
Someone should just go and change them for next years tournaments right now.

Thx Dom for precision about time zones.
Many (most ?) of us are in " CEST " time zone, and more (even those which are not in this time zone) give information about their matches in the forum, by using it.
So, could it be also the same in Ticki pages (instead of UTC), like in the previous years ?
I think there could be less confusion than with UTC... no ?

yes DOM great work,thx
I think we all can help Dom to make his work with the tiki in less time.
I've noticed that some of their nc resultat postet not or only so
TRUE Mary vs SMP-Häxxli 3:2(my mistake )
presumably it would be so much easier for Dom?
results:
TD blubes - OLE sebbo
106 - 91
113 - 84
113 - 114
110 - 127
72 - 112
I think we owe it to Dom him his work to make it as easy as possible.

We can use the same rule we used last year for 21 teams sending 12 teams to the playoff:
----------------
21: (1,6,7,12,13,18,19), (2,5,8,11,14,17,20) and (3,4,9,10,15,16,21), 11 weeks
4 teams advance per group, the group with the best 2nd comer will be renamed to group D, the next groups circular to E and F, then the pairings for first rd KO will be:
1E-bye, 3F-3D, 2D-bye, 2F-4E ---- 1F-bye, 2E-4D, 1D-bye, 3E-4F
best 2nd comer will be determined according to the tiebreaker rules (13.7)
Quarterfinal: 1Evs3F-3D; 2Dvs2F-4E;;; 1Fvs2E-4D; 1Dvs3E-4F
-----------------
We have just to determine the best second. My suggestion:
discard all the games played by the 7th placed team in group C to calculate the best 2nd placed team.
I don't like the use of percentage because being second with a 5-1 record would be better of being 2nd with a 4-1 record but the difference would be just the win against the 7th placed team.

Let's try to clarify here
My understanding is:
For determining who is 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th in group C (and therefore qualifies for KO) ALL CLASHES COUNT of course.
Just after that - only in order to determine the best 2nd - we count the result of the 2nd placed team again without this team's clash against the 7th.
It might be, that this team wouldn't be 2nd if the original calculation was made without the results agains the 7th - that doesn't matter, they still stay 2nd. The results without 7th are ONLY used for the comparison to the runner ups of the other groups.
No idea if that's the perfect solution, but I don't think it's very crucial, so I'm fine with it.
