2013 - AAG 40 League

The RIGHT end of the can opener is to be the player doing the opening of the can.  Obviously.

If you are the queen of unexpected strategy, that means you are married to Boldfresh.

Yeah, you’re one step closer to having the ANZAC strategy for taking Berlin and Rome…. by climbing on someone else’s shoulders…

Tha’s not the right side, the right side of a can opener is not to engage in something as seedy and despicable as can opening. :P  (yes, for those that don’t know, that would be a JOKE, okay?)

We need a sarcasm font, I swear!

Jenn did you attend the same comedy school as me1945?

Man, I would try league if I did not have to worry about the play by forum hassle of entering the info and e-mail addresses.  Would definitely like to play live games and save them for later dates.

Just have your opponent set it up
I have rarely had to do it myself - the other guy is usually eager

Have the rules been revised allowing players to play each other more than twice and it count in the league standings? I know you can play a 3rd if there was a 1-1 split, but what if you’re 0-2 against someone?

[Jennifer]

Yes, it’s best of five now.  So as soon as you get 3 wins against an opponent, then you have to stop.

[seth4god]

Awesome, thanks

[Jennifer]

@seththenewb:

Awesome, thanks

Null perspiration, chummer.  That’s what I am here for.  It’s not to win games, lol!

[gamerman01]

<cough>IF you have completed 13 games against 5? or more opponents

Jenn, come on, you make up the rules - at least repeat them accurately please

Eligibles for best of 5 are highlighted in blue on my spreadsheet.  Also, apparently you (Seth) have not read the color key at the bottom of the spreadsheet, which is at the bottom.

You have played 13 games and are highlighted in blue, so you can play anyone best of 5.
You can even play more than that and I will record it along with the points, but it will not count officially for playoff purposes or posterity (if Jenn saves her final official rankings or something)</cough>

[gamerman01]

6 opponents

Sorry, that was an unintentional mistake to say it twice

By the way, IT’S AT THE BOTTOM

Lol, see, you to can have issues with your posts!

Yes, you have to have all the prerequisites to be able to expand the number of games you can play your opponents again.  It’s an effort to give everyone a chance to play you.

So if U have more than 13 games played

the max number of games per player is 3 games unless the score is 2-1?

[gamerman01]

@Amon-Sul:

No, if you have more than 12 (or 13 or more, in other words) games played, then you can play someone until one of you has 3 wins.

So it is possible to go 0-2 against such a player, and then win the next 3 and be 3-2.  After that, games are not officially counted by Jenn (but I will still count them, unofficially  :-D)

Thats what i sadi. So 3 games is the max , but if the score is 2-1 after 3 games then U can have it more. Like tenis match in grand slam hehe  :lol:

Ok, god i have it confirmed i thought until recently U can play 5 games ehhe

[gamerman01]

“Best of 5” means you play until someone gets 3 wins, because then they have won more than half of the 5 games.  Is that maybe where things got “lost in translation”?

“Best of 3” means you are done at 2-0, because someone won more than half of the 3 games already.

[Amon-Sul]

i did not know it was best of 5.

i read somewhere here that is 5 games. So that is what led me in the wrong direction.

Thanks for the information :)

[Jennifer]

Correct. Â

last post on page 17:

Here’s the revised ruling:

• If both opponents have more than 12 completed games with at least 6 other players, then they may engage in another game.  If this should make it so each player has the same number of wins against the other (2 and 2) then a 5th tie breaker game may be played.  
  Considering the limit is currently 2 games with any specific pair of opponents with a 3rd game possible in the case of a tie, then having 6 unique opponents should not be hard to accomplish, if you have 12 games.

So if both you AND your opponent have 12 completed games, and you have both played against at least 6 different people (so yourself + 5 other members) then you may play up to 5 games instead of up to 3 games.  I’ll count a maximum of 3 wins then, instead of a maximum of 2 wins and it will be from the first reported game completions.
