To reiterate what vykingsfan64 said in an earlier post, it seems that V.J. is the only player in Division 6 that is not entering his games. I understand that he is a freemium w/ limited spots, but you might want to check w/ him to gauge his interest in continuing in this excellent tourny and then consider a replacement. Thanks for running a great tournament amazzony and simor.

Don't worry, we are sending reminders, we just don't report about them in here

Usually we send reminders 3-5 times per batch, completely depends how well people join their games and how much we have to make replacement

Right now I've had a long and not that nice weekend and simor is having his thesis exam today so our tournaments are having a "brake"-kind-of-thing

But most important things get done

I have to say, this tournament is VERY well organized and presented, and I'm thrilled that you created a high rank division so that I could participate. My appreciation goes out to you.
That being said

, I would criticize that 18 games is very few. Most games are heavily weighted on luck, but this is especially true above all other in 1v1's. A lot of maps the player who simply goes first can win 80% of the time. To even this out, you'd need a lot of games. I understand that would be difficult and prolong the tournament though. However 18 is very little, and you could see the best player win 4/18 on a bad day, and the worst player win 16/18 on a good one - just depends on those rolls.
I don't want to take away from an excellent tournament setup though, but wanted to offer some feedback. Again, great work guys.

First of all, thank you!

Simor has worked quite a bit to add little things (like the waiting/playing/finished % thingy) to make the tournament easier for us to run and more enjoyable for the players. And I'm giving my little efforts
You aren't taking anything away, different opinions are always welcome

That said, we probably won't change the format (though this is just my first opinion, I haven't discussed it with simor yet). The game load is big enough for freemiums and I would like to keep it open for everybody and I can't imagine that we would run 1 season for 12+ weeks instead of 6+ weeks as it is right now. Oh, just got a perfect idea, we'll add one more batch that will be played on Crossword map because nobody knows it so it's a fair way to see who is best

(just kidding, don't worry

)
But as I said, we do appreciate feedback a lot and we'll surely discuss it with simor

Cheers,
amazzony

Forefall - Dont agree about the first player having an 80% advantage - ive have 4/12 first starts and managed 10/12 - if you have optimal strategy you have a chance....but yeah luck counts ofc.....
