Or Alex

Or Hank
Or Wheatbeer

:)

There are favorites, but I dont think anyone here is taking a win for granted.

@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.

is this a bracket?
if not is the 2nd round also randomized or is it the first two finished are paired up?

[arathorn]

I think it is a bracket - which means that top 4 can’t meet bottom 4 until the final game.

[lexgreat]

Think, or did Jennifer mention it somewhere? Guess we have some time before the definitive answer gets important, but would be interesting to know?

[arathorn]

Jennifer said it in a PM to me, that the matchings were now in the league thread - so I assumed that she meant what she said.

[lexgreat]

ok, thx.  Lets see if single matchings or a bracket, Jennifer will surely confirm one way or the other.

[gamerman01]

I assumed it was a bracket, so winner of Love/Hank plays winner of Hobo/Arathorn and winner of Gamer/Wheat plays winner of Alex/Cow

[gamerman01]

But that was just an assumption - guess we need to hear from Jenn for sure, like you guys are saying

And the winner of the playoffs gets to see Jennifer naked?

[Whackamatt]

I’ll play if I’m needed.  If I’m the odd-man out, then I’m okay with not playing, too.  It’ll give me time to focus on 14L games.  :evil:

You will be the 7 seed, to play #2 seed Odonis.

You may begin immediately.

Hmmmm……nah.  I think I would prefer to reserve that reward for giving to the top players as a benefit to letting me win next year!  :wink:

Yes, that is a bracket.  Winners go on to play winners.  I did not pay any respect to standing other than who was, and was not, in the top 8.  Next year, I think, we agreed that the top player would play the 5th best player, second best plays 6th, etc.

[lexgreat]

Thx for clarification, Jennifer.

As for next year, it could also be done like Nr 1 against Nr 8, 2 against 7 and so forth, or just pooling 1 to 4 and 5 to 8. Just a suggestion, nothing new of course and there is rationale for all ways to seed.

And wouldnt Round Robin be fun, in case we have two years or so for play-offs :)

@rgp44:

I’m out.

What a pity! Why quit? you are one of the best players in the forum. Probably the best.

Thanks for the vote of confidence but I can guarantee you i’m not the best player on here, I think I only played 1 top ten opponent and lost handily.  I know this playoff will stretch across the holidays and I don’t want to have to play regularly during that time.

[wheatbeer]

Will there be a deadline for the completion of round 1 matches?

[Jennifer]

Historically the playoffs have no cutoff date.  In theory they could continue on well into the next year’s season.  Personally, I would prefer to have the games completed and a champion crowned before Valentine’s Day!  (Preferably sooner.)

@wheatbeer:

How about 1 game to be finished in 1 month?

[Major Major]

i did sign up for this, and am not sure how it didn’t take.
