    Multiple! Sorry for your losses.


  • Very interesting!

    Great points.

    Apparently BM did decline significantly in 2025. The rules are set in January, so a year ago 3, 3, and 6 were the right requirements. They could be changed at the end of the year, but only if participants agree, because all year everyone was operating under the knowledge that it took 6 BM games to qualify. The 3 game minimums are also a factor for some players, deciding on the timing and mode to play during the year. So as far as 6 being too many, well, BM can simply be changed to 3 for 2026, but

    We seem to be fine for 2025 and it’s not 12/31 yet.
    Farmboy might be arranging for his 6th BM completion game

    One or two who have 5 games - not sure they have been around lately anyway.

    Zarhunter just signed up, so even without farmboy we have 7, which would be one bye for Axis-Dominion which isn’t really a problem. So as Simon noted, even if I were to change the requirement to 3 right now after the whole year is over, it would hardly even make a difference anyway, surprisingly.

    So we have 7 for BM and there will be 1 bye, or in the event that farmboy gets 6 and wants in, there will be a perfect 8. BM minimum requirement will be lowered to 3 games for 2026

    Thanks gamer! I definitely would want farmboy in even with 5 games, wouldn’t make sense for the defending champ to miss the requirement by 1 game lol

    I did prod farmboy for a game in September and reminded him of the qualification requirements but he thought he had enough games on his plate. Not sure his current game will be wrapped up but I guess he always has the option to concede the loss at any time, even if he thinks he is winning.

    Thought pacifiersboard might play. Adam sitting it out again, it seems.


  • I expect to be joining the bm tournament at least and will concede that game to do so if needed. Still 3 days left to play so will make the decision last minute

    We still need an 8th for OOB. Is @gamerman01 interested?

    Thanks Simon,

    I’m involved in a couple A&A competitions here on A&A.org, (including the 2024 playoffs) where 1 game led to another. I hesitate to enter because I haven’t started game 2 of the 2024 playoffs yet.

    BUT if other participants in OOB 2025 playoff are OK with me being slow to catch up, then I would join. I think it’s a bad look for me to enter and be slow, but if no one protests, well…

    Classic double elimination tournament, 2v2 G40 tournament, and the 2024 playoffs

    I’m in the last game of the 2v2 and not too much left in that Classic tournament, and not accepting any more games so maybe I am viable for 2025 playoff, especially if the 8 seed isn’t as much trouble as Pacifier was


  • I am not qualified, but would participate if invited…:)
