2013 - AAG 40 League

[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.

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.

[gamerman01]

Fine with me, guys, you were #2 and #3 anyway, and JDOW only had 4 games completed so it makes sense that way too

Which thread should we post our games in?

League or tournament?

@Boldfresh:

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

Well, I guess I’m going to get that break a little sooner than planned. I’m pretty sure my life long record against AWN is around 2-99 and 1 of those wins was because I put the game away before we could finish! - by the way is that an option here?

In any case, GL!

Just like a normal game, whoever wants to go first in bidding may do so.

Bold, it was as random as I could make it.  I didn’t take anything into consideration standing wise, past engagement wise, etc.

Post in league, just put something like:

13L Playoffs Cow (Allies) vs Alexgreat (Axis) +327 bid

for the title (oh, and if you let him have a 327 bid, you must PM me so I can giggle quietly as I watch!)

Sounds good to me…not really expecting to win against either of you, but willing to give it a shot

[gamerman01]

Thanks, Unknown, then it’s settled.

@Cmdr:

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.

Yeah! Brutal. :mrgreen:
