Hey, I thought i can still post a game for 2017.

It`s 22:51 in Hawaii , 31st december  :-D

[Omega1759]

1 Me1945, USA (Texas), 45
8 Farmboy

4 JDOW, Germany, 40
5 Omega1759

3 Rubioton
6 Axis-Dominion

7 Gargantua
2 JuanSpain, Spain, 42

Drawing JDOW, ouch!

I guess they would all be hard to beat, great draw!

[farmboy]

I was just curious if each round of the playoffs is one game or a best of. I’m assuming the former but wanted to double check. And sorry if I missed this info somewhere.

I’m looking forward to this. And good luck everyone!

[Omega1759]

One game per round. Otherwise it would take four years to get a champion :)

[Amon-Sul]

@Omega1759:

yeah, my idea was that the players simultaneously start 2 games against each other, 1 as axis, 1 as allies. and if it is 1-1, then a third game with bid occurs.

but it would simply take much time.

maybe in the final game? hm?

[aequitas-et-veritas]

How do we tag the playoff games??

P17 G40 BM3 …. (X) vs …(L)??

[Witt]

Aequitas: Start it: Play Off game; rest as normal.

[aequitas-et-veritas]

Ahh, thanks.  Apreciate your quick response…as usual. :-)

aev, wait.

If Gamerman tonight decides my 2 post game results will count to 2017 league, U go to 2nd playoff, and I go to the third one.

[gamerman01]

Yes, Amon is right, I should have waited for Hawaii’s New Year per my own rules

8th place for 2nd playoff is now Giallo at 4.22 PPG
However, AeV has 3.93 PPG and 43 games played

Because AeV’s record is somewhat similar to Giallo’s and he has completed over 40 games, and because we have 13 players to fit in 2 brackets (an 8 and a 4), I think AeV has earned the right to decide whether he wants to challenge Giallo for the 8 spot against Wittman via a play-in game OR be the #1 seed in the 3rd playoff and let Giallo have the #8 in the 2nd playoff without a fight.  There would then be a play-in game for the 4 spot in the 3rd tourney, which would make sense because it’s already 2 games to the championship instead of 3.

So Wittman and everyone in the 3rd playoff - hold on for AeV’s decision please

[gamerman01]

And yes, each playoff game is to be one game and not a series.

I am ok with the way it is and taking the #1 seed in the 3rd Playoff bracket.

Giallo, Good Luck!!

[Gargantua]

Gamean! We need to discuss expanding league rules to allow live f2f games and live online games to be league recordable offficialy.

Discussion is open to anyone, my thought is, a thread is Made, date of game is noted.  F2f games either have a clear conclusion and a game final photo or additional photos are posted.  A draw is considered unrecordable, or must be completed via TtipleA after.

Live online games - a thread is made before hand, end save game is attached.

Thoughts?

[gamerman01]

Yes Garg, that’s all fine and actually is already allowable under current league rules.  I’ll record just about anything if I have a player admitting defeat.

[gamerman01]

Thanks for quick reply AeV, I’ll draw up those final brackets now then!

[gamerman01]

Wittman - you are playing Giallo for the 1st round and may begin any time.

Only AeV will have to wait because there is a play-in game to the 3rd bracket, between Dawgoneit and DesertAdmiral for the right to play AeV.

Thanks to AeV, all matches in the 2nd bracket are set and may begin

Thank you AeV, good luck for you as well!

Where’s the thread for the 2016 championship game?

[Gargantua]

OK guys I’ve been working on something fun!  Gargantua’s Hit-Handicap system.

https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=41252.0

Basically, it reads a tripleA log file and gives a handicap ratio of how many hits you should have had vs how many you got, and same for your opponent.  It then creates a Hit-Handicap score +/- for Axis and Allies.

I’ve asked the dev’s to code it into TripleA and they are taking that request very seriously!!

Want to know how lucky or unlucky you really were in a game?  PM me the link and I’ll run it through my parser!  Send me your most obtuse files! LOL
