2013 - AAG 40 League

[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 are in, then!

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.

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.

ROLL CALL

OK, the league playoffs are set to begin this weekend, and I’m not sure who all is here and ready to play.
It will help Jennifer and I tremendously if you would now signify that you are here and that you are wanting to play in the playoffs.  This is applicable for all who have signed up for the additional playoffs, and to the 8 who qualify for the league playoff for the championship.

Please reply to this thread if you are on the following list.  Also, it is not too late to sign up for the additional league playoffs.  Reply whether you are playing in the playoffs or not - please reply either way.  Thank you -

QUALIFIED FOR THE LEAGUE PLAYOFF (in win% order)
Allweneedislove

SIGNED UP FOR ADDITIONAL PLAYOFFS (in PPG order)
FIRST PLAYOFF

SECOND PLAYOFF
Omega1759
Karl Kill! Kill! Kill!
Odonis
Amon Sul

All above is tentative.  League year isn’t completely over, after all.  For each player who doesn’t show up or isn’t interested, everyone else below them will move up a slot.  I.E. Cow is in the league playoff if any of the top 8 don’t enter.

OK, signup sheet is updated with confirmations - see here:

thought i was signed up.  I was really busy at the time.  looks like i missed out.

[Seador]

There are two byes I belive, I don’t think it would be too large a perversion to slot you into one of those.

[gamerman01]

Infra, if you can get Bold or bmnielsen to agree to let you in, then I’m fine with it - you can play one of them.
I was wondering where you were, but could only wait so long.  We did have players signed up who then didn’t show, so I couldn’t just assume people were in - I needed to get brackets done.

bold is on a 1 week vacation right now, but you would probably get a response from him within days.

[Jennifer]

Do me a favor, when you win your playoff game and report it on the league reporting thread, can you also PM me?  We’re in the busy season here in Geek Squad (cute leather jacket, btw!) and I’m paranoid as heck I’ll miss a report of game completion and tie everyone up!

Thanks.

Wow, pink really backfired!
