Everything in red is a change from the previous post on this issue.

Week 8: Sunday, Dec 11 - Thursday, Dec 21 (11 days)

This IS the PLAYOFFS week that I've been talking about - it's coming a little early because of the holiday so bear with me. Also bear with the fact that I'm definitely going to some crappy bowl game in New Mexico and will have to work fast at the end to tabulate results.

There will be no half-matches in this round, and everyone will have three matches (except the lowest pools).

The Championship Pool will be the following four players, in this order and seeding:

1 • Highest Award-Scorer.

2 • Highest Point-Scorer over all 7 weeks. (second highest if above).

3 • Highest Point-Scorer over final 4 weeks (second or third highest if above).

4 • Wild Card (a player who may be second place in one of these categories but isn't one of the top three).

The Second Pool will be another 4 players deemed appropriate for a 'second-division' championship.

The Third Pool and all other successive pools will be 3-4 players.

Your final ranking for Fall 2006 will be based on your performance in this week.

---

Okay, so some analysis on this one:

Keegan has iced another award (weeks 4-7) and therefore the top spot in the playoffs. The rest of the berths are a bit of a grab bag...

You'll notice very distinctly that there are four players with a humongous cushion between themselves and me (fifth place) - this doesn't mean jack shit, we go through the motions, and the motions say the following:

Currently, Bahamut has the second berth (highest remaining week 1-7 score). To keep this spot he needs to remain in front of JD, a three-point margin.

Currently, Rainman has the third berth (highest remaining week 4-7 score). Rainman needs to get at least one draw versus JD or a 2-0 sweep of a halfmatch, plus keep Bahamut at bay if he becomes an issue.

Currently, John Derrilll has the wild card berth (most remaining awards).

BUT...

Clef can steal JD's current spot with a 1/2win over Keegan (two awards, denies JD any chance at another award).

Snerrak can win that berth with a 20/6 week.

Setz can win that berth with a 20/6 week.

There are other scenarios, pick and choose, but it's going to be interesting to see what people end up doing for the rest of the week.

yo rainman and bamamut where u guys at. call me on da cell

[kamoh]

These are not ACTUAL placements, but Keegan and Rainman are definitely in the top4.

[Rainman DX]

These are not ACTUAL placements, but Keegan and Rainman are definitely in the top4.

That's right, bitches. Keegan by skillzors, Rainman by pure volume of matches.

EDIT: Dangit, JD, the light's on all day, but nobody's home.

[JohnDriLLL]

sorry ill try to catch you today sometime.

[Rainman DX]

Here's two of my games with Johnderrilll. The first is our first game, the second is a third match we played for fun. I forgot to save the second one.

He let slip some mistakes, as did I. Suffice to say neither of us brought our A games to the table.

In summary,

Rainman DX vs. Johnderrilll, 2-0.

wow... im still on the scoreboard.

good thing too - im joining next tourney. Just need to find a new client for AIM (Vista doesnt like GAIM, and I refuse to install the AIM client.)

Try Trillian. www.ceruleanstudios.com

I'll field this one, kamoh.

As we've been over this before, by "next tourney", I'm sure you mean, NEXT WEEK. However, you can't play next week, since next week is the playoffs.

You're welcome to startup with many of the others in January, however. You will hardly be at a disadvantage to the rest of us, as long as you play well from the outset.

[Bahamut]

Bahamut wins game #2 vs Dama.

Also, 1-1 vs. John.

[Nemitor_Atimen]

No shit. By "next tourney" I mean literally, NEXT TOURNEY. Like next month, or whenever everything is reset (or whatever the hell you guys are doing)

--

and yes, I once used Trillian (years ago). The interface is nice, but I didnt really like it. I'll probably just stick with www.meebo.com for a while.

[LongeBane]

NO SHIT NEMO. NO SHIT

[snerrak]

Sorry about not being on much. I should be available after 8 pm PST. I have been working crazy hours at my two jobs and I have been too tired to do much else. I just re broke my back too, so I am extra tired from trying to keep it feeling good enough to not pain me too much. Message me on AIM - snerraksobession

Actually:

1) You can join for next week - I'll just stick you in the lowest scheduled pool.

2) Next "tourney" or whatever starts January 1st, but we're not going back to the old system (with the recurring tourneys), so...if you're thinking that - no.

[Bahamut]

Bahamut draws 1 vs Setz in a rofl game.

[Rainman DX]

Hmm... remember what I said yesterday about not playing my best lately? Yeah, seems Falchion caught a whiff of that today...

Rainman DX vs. Falchion39, 0-2.

It smelled good, actually.

[Nemitor_Atimen]

well, I got GAIM working.

So Kamoh, put me wherever.

[kamoh]

Hey kids.

EDIT: I forgot that draws, in a 3-2-1, two-game match system, still show up as odd values while everything else is even.
