Broadway, Your Way [TPA] [Winners: amazzony & ZionT]

[anamainiacks]

Update

Only one game left outstanding without an elimination in Round 1, so we'll move on to the next Round for the other players first.

The odds of moving on have been reduced from 75% to 67%, so play well!

[anamainiacks]

Update

A third of the games of Round 2 are completed. Just 8 more games to go before moving on to Round 3!

[anamainiacks]

Update

Only 1 game left in Round 2, so we'll move on to Round 3 and let the battles commence! This'll be the last game where winning isn't everything!

[Chariot of Fire]

Game 8835870 - stevkov/sonjas and sonicsteve/Chariot of Fire qualify for Round 4.

gg to DJ and Dragon.

[anamainiacks]

Update

Round 3 is done, save for one game. It seems most likely to be ThrushAAX / Flow520 and amazzony / ZionT that'll progress to Round 4, but I won't invite them to Round 4 games till that's confirmed.

Round 4 fixtures have been created, and can be seen in the second post. Every pair will get to play every other pair once throughout the entire round. Remember, every position you place is important for this round!

Game load for this round will go to a maximum of 2 at once, except for the freemiums of course, which will be kept to 1.

[anamainiacks]

Update

Flow520 eliminates ZionT first due to the greater threat there, thus allowing Revlisd / NickJP to move on!

Names on the scoreboard will be edited along with the first score update.

[anamainiacks]

Update

NickJP has exceeded the 48 hours given for him to join the game. This, in addition to his close deadbeating in the previous round, has caused me to have to remove him from the tournament, along with his partner Revlisd.

As stated in the first post, the team that was eliminated from their previous group will take over their spot, meaning amazzony and ZionT are back in the tournament.

Hopefully everything runs properly from here on out.

[anamainiacks]

Update

About a week since Round 4 started, and no games have been completed so far.

I've decided to send out the next set of games, so that the tournament can continue to move along. Perhaps we'll keep to a pace of 1 game per week? I'm not sure yet, but perhaps that'll be the case. I'll also be checking with the freemiums if they're fine with playing more than 1 game at a time. Hopefully as the escalating card bonuses get higher and higher, the games will get completed too!

Fight hard, and earn those precious points!

Round 4, game 1.3 has been completed. Game 8930423

[anamainiacks]

Update

All first games have been completed, so Game 3 games have been created and sent out! The games will probably only be completed at a rate of once a fortnight at best, seeing how some of the games are moving. Flow520 is also unable to play more 1 game at a time, so his games will be delayed.

Scoreboard has been updated with the scores from the first game, but with 4 games to go, it's still anyone's game! Remember, you have to be within the top 8 teams to move on!

[anamainiacks]

Update

Sorry about the slow progress of the current round, especially for the 3 pairs that haven't had a game for over 2 weeks. For some reason Game 2.1 is taking ages to complete, and it's slowing things down as Flow520 is in it, and is a freemium. However, he is now able to take 2 games, so the next Game 3.2 has been sent out, and Game 4 for everyone has been created with invites sent out. Again, I apologise for the players that have to play these 2 games all of a sudden!

I'll update the scoreboard once Game 2.1 is complete. I'm not exactly comfortable with seeing an update with some players having 3 games accounted for, while others only have 1 score.

Thanks everyone for your patience! Things should pick up after this round, when we get to 2v2s (:

[aad0906]

No worries mate, thanks for organizing this!

[anamainiacks]

Update

The scoreboard's finally got a spankin' new update, following the completion of the last of the Game 2 games.

Right now, three teams lead the pack with 14 points each, having won 2 games played so far. For Guderian09 / aad0906 and ThrushAAX / Flow520, this gives them a 100% win rate so far, as they've won 2 out of the 2 games they've played so far! However that will soon change, as they now play in the same game, where one or both of their winning streaks will be tarnished!

As for the rest of the players, there's still much hope for you to carry on! Start clocking in some wins, and you're sure to make a mark on the scoreboard! (:

Good luck!

[anamainiacks]

Update

2 games were very recently completed, allowing us to finally move into the last set of games. This will be the last one for the round, till we finally move on to the next round.

Sorry for the round being so slow moving, 8-player games tend to stall this way... Things should move a lot faster in the subsequent rounds, when it'll just be a 1v1 team bracket! (: Thanks for your patience!

When the top 8 teams start to get firmed up, I'll start PMing teams for their home settings.

[anamainiacks]

[player]kristijan_mk[/player] is in as a temporary replacement for [player]stevkov[/player].

stevkov will reassume his place in the tournament in the subsequent rounds, provided he has enough slots for the tournament. If not, kristijan_mk will be a permanent replacement.

[anamainiacks]

Update

Round 4 is complete up to Game 4 now. Each team only has 1 game left to complete, which is Game 5. Once this is done we can finally move on to the next round (:

Scoreboard has been updated, and we have 3 teams that have locked in their spot in Round 5. The remaining 5 spots are still up for grabs, depending on the order of elimination of the teams. Those 7's really give a big boost, so try your best to get this last one, or do whatever ensures you your spot!

[anamainiacks]

Update

Round 4 is finally complete, and we can move on to Round 5!

There was a two-way tie for 3rd, three-way tie for 5th and 8th place. As stated in the first post, the head-to-head comparison was used to differentiate the players, and allocate seeds accordingly. Matchups according to seeding are now in the second post. All matchups will be playing 2 games at once, except for stevkov and sonjas, who are both freemium players.

Best of luck contending the different settings! Remember, if a tiebreaker game is needed for this round, a setting from one of the other teams will be randomly chosen.

[anamainiacks]

Update

Round 5 is quickly finishing, with only 1 tiebreaker game remaining.

One Round 6 game has been sent out, with the map randomly chosen from the 3 maps supposed to be played. Ideally, all 3 are to be played at once, but since stevkov & sonjas are freemium players, we'll slow things down for them (:

[anamainiacks]

Update

Both matchups for Round 6 have been finalised, and games are now underway (:

[amazzony]

Oh wow, didn't realise we are that far.... amazzony and ZionT ready for finals. Best of luck to our opponents, may the better team win!

[anamainiacks]

Update

As the final game draws to a close, amazzony & ZionT are too far ahead for jgalioto and Bigragooch to make a comeback in that game. And with that, I'm pleased to announced that the tournament is over, and the Broadway musical by amazzony & ZionT stand the tests of time, emerging as an international hit worldwide!

Congratulations to amazzony & ZionT!

[amazzony]

That has been an awesome tournament, big thanks to Dot for running it!

And, clearly, thanks for Zion for dragging me along to the win
