2013 - AAG 40 League

Figured I might as well use an Allies avatar.

I’m not even having a guilty conscience spamming this thread, since it’s kinda obsolete now anyway :D

Have not heard from zhukov in ages… this could be a wait.

Tell ya what… if zhukov comes back… he can just play me… I will play an extra round… unless I am knocked out already lol

[arathorn]

In my opinion Zhukov has relinquished his place in the playoff by not responding to anything for about 6 months. He hasn’t logged in, in quite a while also, so I think he’s out for now.

I don’t understand why this is taking so long for Jennifer to get together - it should be simple. Random draw and let the players start bidding.

Playoff standings should have been finished late 1st/early 2nd according to her own words.

@Gamerman01:

Thank you, all who have confirmed.

I am still waiting to hear from the following players.  Please respond, whether you want to play in the playoffs or whether you want to decline the opportunity:

Zhukov44
rgp44
Seththenewb
Omega1759
Amon Sul
Odonis
Axisplaya
Whackamatt
Vold
Infrastructure
Cow

We will be trying to create playoff brackets and we need to know who is participating for sure.
You need to respond soon -

Thanks,
Gamerman01

I am in :)

[gamerman01]

That’s right, we are not waiting on Zhukov, we are waiting on Jenn.  If Zhukov doesn’t pop up before Jenn does the draw, he’s out.

[Jennifer]

Sorry, my wifi is out and I just found my 15 foot Ethernet line.  Matchups for the top 8:

Gamerman01

vs

Zhukov44 (or alternate Wheatbeer)

Alexgreat

vs

Cow

Hobo

vs

Arathorn

Allweneedislove

vs

Hank13

I did refer to Gamerman’s records to determine the top 8.

[gamerman01]

You indeed have the correct players, Jenn.
Do you want to say who starts the bidding, or should we just agree among ourselves.

[gamerman01]

Secondary playoffs will be set up very soon, now that the official one is drawn up.  Stay tuned.

[arathorn]

What will we “name” our threads? I assume we will use the regular “league thread” to create our game threads.

was this random or seeded?  hank and awn are old friends, i would think they should not have to play first round.

[gamerman01]

Bold, she said several times over the past few weeks it would be random.
So it’s just tough luck.

[arathorn]

Seeding would not be right in this, since the original qualification of win % doesn’t necessarily match rankings according to Gamer’s standings. So a completely random draw is best here.

I am ready!

[lexgreat]

What a draw, eh Cow? Any word on who starts bidding, or no specific rule there?

In any case, GL!

Secondary and Tertiary playoff participants, here are the brackets for your playoffs.  You may want to bookmark it.
You can name your game threads 13P instead of 13L so we can easily see it’s a playoff game.

12 participants, so I did 2 brackets of 8 where 1 and 2 seeds have byes.
Any questions, let me know.
Seeding done by PPG at end of league year.

Bidding can be arranged between the two players.  If you can’t agree who will make the first bid, just roll for it.
I will be the primary moderator for these two playoffs, so any game disputes that you can’t work out between the two of you should go to me first.

You may begin your games when ready

mhhh…spectator for a while. Not the draw I was hoping for plus a potential beast waiting for me in the next round. I am totally screwed  :cry:

Well, there is another possibility…

If one of the players who signed up but didn’t confirm the past 3-4 days shows up really soon and says hey I wanted to be in the tournament, with your permission we may put them in the bye spot.

@JDOW:

Just wait for the round AFTER that one :-)

Hehe, just kidding.

Yeah, that would be perfectly fine to me.

Just quickly chatted with Bold. He and I would be ok to swap positions in the bracket, so he gets the bye and I get a match in the first round of the play offs. I guess unknownsoldier has to confirm that but I would be happy about it. I only have 1 game running so far, so would perfectly be fine to me.

i will be largely out of action for the next week (vacation) so it works better in that regard as well.
