The Championships - Triples [Complete]

[Dukasaur]

Tournament was completed in September of 2015.
Subject: The Championships - Triples [Complete]

In a powerful tour-de-force, the team of [player]zips5000[/player], [player]jackal31[/player], and [player]RKCVED[/player] stormed through the final round with a 21-12 margin. Congratulations all!

None of the opposition are anything to sneeze at either! Some of the most powerful teams on CC participated in this event, which should make the triumph of the Champions that much sweeter.

Many thanks to all for the many, many words of encouragement and support that I got from you, for the good grace with which everyone accepted all my rulings, and in general for being good, sportsmanlike players. You have made this a into a very positive experience for myself and for each other.

Prize awards are imminent.

[shoop76]

shoop76, spitemalice and tin trumpet.

15 wins as a triples team seems kind of steep though.

[prismsaber]

prismsaber, foxglove and agonzos please. We have 15+ wins.

[player]pearljamrox2[/player], [player]WPBRJ[/player], [player]hotfire[/player] in please

We have won 8 tournaments as a team..we are a shoo-in

15 wins as a triples team seems kind of steep though.

Haha...really?..because we have over 300!

[Aussie02]

[blonderic]

[Armandolas]

no tournaments for this one?

Can we have some?..ive never played 15 teamgames with anyone

[Gilligan]

no tournaments for this one?

Can we have some?..ive never played 15 teamgames with anyone

it's true, after 711 unique defeats and 758 games I wouldn't know which two players to search for. I'm not even too sure that I would have 15 wins with the same two people.

[Rodion]

Is it possible that someone map ranks me (or makes sone other kind of wizardry) and tells me with which triples I'd be eligible to play?

[shoop76]

1561 triples games and the only players I have more than 15 with have left the site.

I have 13 with the guys I signed up with so I will get the additional 2 if necessary. But an answer shortly would be nice.

Sorry Rodion that seems a little complex for me to find that out.

[prismsaber]

For teams that don't yet have 15 wins....you still have more than 3 weeks to apply to this tournament. That should be plenty of time to get 15 wins in if you start now and play on smaller maps.

[Dukasaur]

no tournaments for this one?

You mean no satellites? No, not this time.

Is it possible that someone map ranks me (or makes sone other kind of wizardry) and tells me with which triples I'd be eligible to play?

I'm sorry I don't have any special wizardry available. Same tools that everyone else does... Game Finder, basically. Just search for yourself and the people you think you play with regularly and see if you have 15.

1561 triples games and the only players I have more than 15 with have left the site.

I have 13 with the guys I signed up with so I will get the additional 2 if necessary. But an answer shortly would be nice..

If you're close, go ahead and sign up. Your status with those people won't be checked until March 31st, so you have plenty of time.

.ive never played 15 teamgames with anyone

My apologies to you, but that's not the typical case. Most team players tend to play with the same people over and over again.

For teams that don't yet have 15 wins....you still have more than 3 weeks to apply to this tournament. That should be plenty of time to get 15 wins in if you start now and play on smaller maps.

This. We expected that some teams would fall short of the 15 wins, but you have the rest of the month to catch up.

loutil, agent 86 and blitzkrieg frank 15+ easy

[josko.ri]

I doubt you will find 48 teams with 15+ wins together. With that criterium slots will not be filled.

[DoomYoshi]

Is it possible that someone map ranks me (or makes sone other kind of wizardry) and tells me with which triples I'd be eligible to play?

you qualify with drunkmonkey and denthefrog... is that team satisfactory to you?

I qualify with dazoot and brandoncfi, both of whom are long gone from the site.
I also qualify with Dukasaur and scatt, one of whom is long gone from the site and one of whom is running the tournament.
