I'll update the 3 groups that have had the most movement since last time (A, C, & E).

Group A

Master Bjarke         (7-0)
huddyj                (7-1)
Sułtan Kosmitów       (6-2)
mslasm                (4-4)
Pantelas              (4-5)
rocky1                (4-5)
USA Biches            (2-2)
Gibs                  (2-6)
Lampião               (2-7)
TWOLKER               (1-7)

Master Bjarke and huddyj will finish top two, but with 21 turns and counting in our game against each other (the winner of that will be league champion) we are no closer to getting a result. No bonuses have been captured for the entire game by either players, so it's as much a stalemate as I've ever seen...
Sułtan Kosmitów has proved he's made of the right stuff for Group A, too, with his only losses coming against Bjarke and I. TWOLKER, Lampião, and Gibs will all relegate. rocky1 has lost to Pantelas, mslasm, and USA Biches, so will need to hope USA Biches only wins 1 more match at most for him to avoid a bottom 4 finish and the resulting relegation to Group B.


Group C

smileyleg                   (7-2)
BenSeu                      (6-2)
indibob                     (6-3)
iNsAnE                      (5-3)
Don                         (5-4)
Master Turtle               (4-4)
Алексей                     (3-6)
Bayern München is the best! (2-6)
Diplomatic Immunity         (1-3)
Slats                       (1-7)

BenSeu just needs to beat Diplomatic Immunity in his last game to win this group, as he has the tie-break over smileyleg. iNsAnE's only hope for promotion comes if he beats DI and BenSeu loses, resulting in a 3-way tie for 2nd. I haven't looked into how that would split. indibob has a tie-break win over iNsAnE. With Slats inactive and Bayern leaving, only one player will relegate, and though DI has the tie-break over Алексей through a boot win, I'd say he will probably be the unlucky one.

Group E

Kent                        (8-1) 1st
BlacKnight                  (6-1)
Prabster Realm              (6-2)
Fleecemaster                (4-3)
DanetDuo                    (3-5)
Winged Hussars              (2-4)
Coronel Gavilan             (2-5)
ipg                         (2-6)
Wenyun                      (1-2)
Cat Juggernaut              (0-5)

Kent has won this group, as he's got the win over BlacKnight. Those two will both double-promote, as there are 2 double-promotions on offer in this group. Prabster Realm will probably finish 3rd, and get a normal promotion. 4th will also gain a promotion, and Fleecemaster is looking good to take that. Wenyun is playing quite slowly, but could grab a promotion if things go well.

Group D Update:
Bold = final spot

---

1st: Arkanton (6-0)(1-0)
2nd: Ryzys (6-1)(0-1)
3rd: Legacy (4-1)
4th: Rand0mPlayer (4-3)
5th: Matt431 (2-4)(1-0)
6th: Des {TJC} (2-5)(1-1)
7th: boorzur (1-5)(0-1)
8th: Platinum (0-6)(dropping out)

---

With only one P/R spot decided all games are crucial. The Legacy-Arkanton and Legacy-Platinum games are huge, because if Legacy wins both games we have a 3-way tie for first (Arkanton beat Ryzys, Ryzys beat Legacy), so a tiebreaker tournament will be needed in that case. Also, the Matt-boorzur game can have huge implications because if Matt loses, there is an unbreakable tie for 5th (Matt beat Des and Des beat boorzur), if that happens I'm happy to run the tiebreaker tournament for it. Anyway, below this is the possible/confirmed P/R status of the other players:

---

Group B: Arkanton, Ryzys, Legacy (possible, but 50/50 chance)
Group C: Ryzys, Legacy, Arkanton (all will promote, but only 2 for Group C)
Group D: Rand0mPlayer
Group E:
Leaving: Platinum

Edited 12/6/2015 06:07:39

Thanks for the update, Ryzys

Edit: I'm happy for you to run both tie-break tournaments if it gets to that.

Edited 12/6/2015 05:51:18

Haha just realized that, edited it without seeing your post :P

Two unbreakable ties within the same group would be very interesting! Though it could make the season drag on for a bit longer.

Group D Update:
Tournament Link: https://www.warlight.net/MultiPlayer/Tournament?ID=16319
Bold = final spot

---

1st: Arkanton (6-0)(1-0)
2nd: Ryzys (6-1)(0-1)
3rd: Legacy (4-2)(1-0)
4th: Rand0mPlayer (4-3)(0-1)
5th: Matt431 (3-4)
6th: Des {TJC} (2-5)
7th: boorzur (1-6)
8th: Platinum (1-6)(dropping out)

---

Now the entire group has been decided with Legacy's boot loss against Platinum, meaning no tiebreaker tournament is required. Therefore, the Legacy-Arkanton game is now meaningless because even if Arkanton does lose, he still wins the tiebreaker against me. Anyway, below this is the now confirmed P/R status of the other players:

---

Group B: Arkanton
Group C: Ryzys & Legacy
Group D: Rand0mPlayer, Matt431 & Des
Group E: boorzur
Leaving: Platinum

Edited 12/7/2015 18:32:12

As I am not planning to play the next season there is probably one more place in group A or B or C. I wanted You to know that as early as possible huddyj.

Thanks Sultan. As I've said several times, the P/R guide is not official until the season ends, so I'll update it again soon.

Edited 12/8/2015 05:41:26

I'd like to join this. Can you send me a tourney invite for the next season of the league? I don't frequently check forums so I'm liable to miss it otherwise.

NEW P/R GUIDE
Small Earth League Season 3:

Group A:
1 player leaving this group. (10-1) = 9 players. 1st-6th remain in Group A. 7th-9th relegate to Group B. Sułtan Kosmitów is leaving the league at the end of Season 3.

Group B:
8 players. 1st-3rd promote to Group A. 4th-7th remain in Group B. 8th relegates to Group C.

Group C:
2 players leaving this group. (10-2) = 8 players. 1st super-promotes to Group A. 2nd-3th promote to Group B. 4th-7th remain in Group C. 8th relegates to Group D. Slats is being kicked from the league for inactivity, and Bayern Munchen is leaving the league at the end of Season 3.

Group D:
1 player leaving this group. (8-1) = 7 players. 1st super-promotes to Group B. 2nd-4th promote to Group C. 5th-7th remain in Group D. No relegations. Platinum is leaving the league at the end of Season 3.

Group E:
1 player leaving this group. (10-1) = 9 players. 1st-2nd super-promote to Group C. 3rd-4th promote to Group D. 5th-8th remain in Group E. 9th relegates to Group F. Cat Juggernaut is being kicked from the league for inactivity.

Group F1:
9 players. 1st-2nd super-promote to Group D. 3rd-5th promote to Group E. 6th-9th remain in Group F. No relegations.

Group F2:
1 player leaving this group. (10-1) = 9 players. 1st-2nd super-promote to Group D. 3rd-5th promote to Group E. 6th-9th remain in Group F. No relegations.

Please note: Due to the large amount of players leaving (including some from top groups), Group A will now only have 3 relegations. This doesn't significantly affect P/R for the other groups, though there are some slight changes.

Group B and Group D have both now finished (A, C, E, & F1 are still in progress). Here are the final standings for those groups, including P/R.

Group B

Player       (Position)(Wins-Losses)(P/R Guide)
Kevin Turner (1st)     (5-2)(2-0)   (Promoting to Group A)
Buns157      (2nd)     (5-2)(1-1)   (Promoting to Group A) 
slejer       (3rd)     (5-2)(0-2)   (Promoting to Group A)
Panagiotis   (4th)     (4-3)(1-0)   (Remaining in Group B)
kirdol       (5th)     (4-3)(0-1)   (Remaining in Group B)
KingNorbs    (6th)     (2-5)(1-0)   (Remaining in Group B)
Dacian Novac (7th)     (2-5)(0-1)   (Remaining in Group B)
slydog384    (8th)     (1-6)        (Relegating to Group C)

Kevin Turner has done very well to win this group and will make his debut in Group A next season. Well
done! Buns wins his crucial match against slejer to finish off the group, ensuring both players make
it back to Group A for a second time. Panagiotis and kirdol just miss out, and slydog384 will be
relegating for a second straight season.

Group D

Player       (Position)(Wins-Losses)(P/R Guide)
Arkanton     (1st)     (7-0)        (Double-Promoting to Group B)
Ryzys        (2nd)     (6-1)        (Promoting to Group C)
Legacy       (3rd)     (4-3)(1-0)   (Promoting to Group C)
ARand0mPlayer(4th)     (4-3)(0-1)   (Promoting to Group C)
Matt431      (5th)     (3-4)        (Remaining in Group D)
Des          (6th)     (2-5)        (Remaining in Group D)
boorzuur     (7th)     (1-6)(1-0)   (Remaining in Group D)
Platinum     (8th)     (1-6)(0-1)   (Leaving the League)

Another solid performance by Arkanton sees him promoting to Group B with a perfect record in Group D.
Great job Arkanton! Legacy also earns himself a second promotion in a row. Ryzys and ARand0mPlayer
have finally escaped Group D! Good job guys. :) Des and Matt will be in Group D for the 3rd season in
a row. Platinum is leaving, and with no relegations in this group, boorzuur gets a reprieve.

Wow, 2 seasons in a row, me losing 1 specific game has cost me a spot in group E, I have cursed luck

Thanks for hosting this huddyj

Hey Huddy buddy, any ETA on season 4? I'm getting antsy over here.

Hey is this where I ask If I would like to participate in season 4?

Yea sure we will add you :). Anyone else who wanna join next season just write a comment or a PM to huddyj.
In regard to start time I think it may be sensible to wait untill january to actually start the groups. A lot of people may be on vacation during cristmas I guess.

Group F1 will be a while yet, as Mr. Legi has just taken his second 10-day vacation in a row, and is only up to turn 2 in all of his games. (he hasn't finished a single game yet). Most of the other groups are finished or nearly finished.

I think the next season will start about the second week in January.

I was lucky against Legacy, and Arkanton may feel the same too. But I'm glad to finally escape Group D

EDIT: Des, I know I have the 1v1 advantage over you, but, please, spell my name right (It's Ryzys as you can see, not hard to type). It does get annoying over a period of time, and if you ever did updates it'd confuse a lot of the people

Edited 12/10/2015 23:09:41

Reese I'll miss playing at least one game with ya bud.



Maybe I'll see you in season 5:)

@huddyj
Legi's on a break from games till January [IRL problems :( sorry if you didn't want this thread to know legi]
