Promotion Relegation League Season 26: 10/27/2018 14:17:47

Report
Welcome to Promotion Relegation League Season 26! Once again, we have a new winner of the Tournament, Beren! However, the last 3 winners have been cursed with relegation immediately after winning (almosttricky, Timon, Buns). We will see if Beren can avoid the same fate!

There is still time to join if you sign up soon!

Slight changes to rules are in effect. Any player inactive 15 days at the beginning of a season will be removed.

Concept

The Promotion/Relegation League is a seasonal group of round-robin Warzone tournaments, always on the classic “strategic middle earth” map and settings with 0% weighted random luck. (This is not the same as the template currently used for the 1v1 ladder.) Players are grouped into 7 player groups, each group sorted into a tier. At the end of each season, the top players of each tier are promoted to the next tier above. Bottom players are relegated to the next tier below. Middle players remain in the same tier.

The league is meant to appeal to players who want to see, over the course of several seasons, where their natural level of competition might take them. For new, skilled participants, this means patience in getting to the levels where they will be challenged. Hopefully, that is part of the fun. The idea is to see how quickly you can progress, how long you can stay high, or how long it takes to stop a skid.

Rules

The league is run with a balance of predictability and flexibility. Final decisions are made by the league administrator with an attempt to consider input of league players.

For season 23, the following model is employed:

A (1 group): 2 demote
B (1 group): 2 promote, 3 demote
C (2 groups): 3 promote (1 each group plus 2nd place playoff between C1 and C2), 4 demote (2 each group)
D (2 groups): 4 promote (2 each group), 6 demote (3 each group)
E (3 groups): 6 promote (2 each group), 9 demote (3 each group)
F (5 groups): about 10 promote (2 each group)

There are exceptions to this model. Where there is default – a player becoming inactive or asking to bow out of the league – there can be more promotions to fill in the vacancy. The principle, though, is to usually have at least one player from each group relegated. Several retirements mean fewer relegations and more promotions to keep the groups filled. There are usually a lot of dropouts every season, especially in the lower tiered groups. This means that players should always try to do the best that they can because 3rd place can sometimes mean a promotion and 2nd to last isn't always a relegation!

Any player inactive for more than 15 days at the beginning of a new season will be removed from the league (unless they are on vacation). This rule is intended to move the league along more quickly. Players must also join any tournament related to the league within 2 weeks or face removal (again players on vacation are excluded). The league administrator reserves the right to speed up the league by deciding games by turn speed to prevent players from stalling the league.

Placements in a round-robin are determined by number of wins. In the event of a tie, placements are determined by head-to-head results among the tied. Occasionally, there are loops of ties that cannot be resolved by the head-to-head rule. A tie-breaking tournament then takes place unless all the players involved agree to otherwise settle the tie.

If players are still tied after the tiebreaker tournament, tiebreaker tournaments will continue to be created until the end of the season (minimum of 1 tiebreaker tournament) or until any player forfeits. If the end of the season is near, tiebreaker tournament boot times can be adjusted to 1 day 10 hours, or ratios of Fizzer's metric can be used to break the tie. Fizzer's metric is calculated in the final turn of the game, and is equal to a player's controlled armies plus income times two (A + 2*I). The ratio then is the metric for one player divided by the sum of metrics for both players. I will cap the metric to be a minimum of 0.51 for the winner and a maximum of 0.49 for the loser. The tie will then be broken according to the sum of ratios of Fizzer's metric among games involved in the tie. (If still tied, I will disregard the 0.51/0.49 limits)

Anyone can join the league, members and non-members alike, simply by request in the most recent “Promotion/Relegation League” forum thread. If you ask to join on a past P/R league thread, I will not see it and likely won't add you. New players begin in the bottom group or in an expansion group. Promotions from expansion groups depend on numbers within the new groups.

For players with multiple accounts, transferring your spot in the league to another account is allowed. You must send me the request from both the accounts involved in the transfer and both accounts must have the same flag (and state if applicable). This is an effort to prevent players from transferring their spot in the league with someone who hasn't earned that spot.

Before the beginning of each season, a summary of the movements will be announced to allow for questions or corrections. The league works most smoothly if those who wish to bow out of it let the administrator know before the new season begins instead of simply declining to play after the groups have been determined and tournaments begun.

Okay, all tournaments are now created! Please join by November 15th, or you will be removed from the tournament. You can also be removed if you go inactive for more than 15 days.

If you want to join, there is probably still time. All the F group tournaments are full, but there are nearly always dropouts.

Good luck everyone!

Hunta 1-1
Min34 0-1
awesomeusername
Edge 1-2
FlyingBender 0-2

Buns grabs 2 more wins against Hunta and Flyingbender to put him up to 3-0. JV completes his first game with a win vs Min34; good enough for 2nd place for now!

Group C1
Rocky 2-0
Mifran 1-0
[WG] Reza 1-0
Math wolf 1-0
krunx 1-1
The Adversary 0-2
Octane 0-3

Rocky, a former group A competitor, takes the lead here with wins against The Adversary and krunkx. Reza, Math Wolf, and Mifran all post wins against Octane. krunx also wins a game against The Adversary.

Group C2
Krzysztof 5-1
Doron Hoh 3-1
Dry-clean-only 1-1
Njord 3-2
Mike |GG| 1-2
Milly 1-3
Maréchal Lannes, duc de Montebello 0-6 RELEGATION

This group is moving so fast I can hardly keep up with it. Krzysztof wins his 2 last games to finish 5-1. However, since there are other players with only 1 loss and he has a loss to Doron Hoh, a 3 way tie for first is possible. Maréchal Lannes loses every game and will relegate.

Hasdrubal
kicorse
BADA 0-2

Star of the East drops out of the league. Platinum and ferede both beat BADA in the opening games of the group.

December 1st update. Sorry for the big gap in updates. Iv'e been a little busy.

Group A
Deadman 1-0
Phoenix 1-0
Beren 2-1
Timon92
Master of Desaster 0-1
Timinator 0-1
Master Jz 0-1

This group is now underway with some early results. Beren is on his way to avoiding the relegation curse (that claimed the last 3 p/r league winners).

Group B
Buns 4-0
JV 1-0
awesomeusername
Edge 2-2
Hunta 1-2
FlyingBender 1-2
Min34 0-3

Buns again extends his lead to 4-0. There are still 3 undefeated players, though, so the group is far from over. The bottom 4 players here have all lost at least twice.

Group C1
Rocky 3-0
[WG] Reza 3-0
krunx 3-1
Mifran 2-1
Math wolf 1-2
The Adversary 1-3
Octane 0-6 RELEGATION

The competition is fierce in this group. Rocky and Reza have now increased their leads to 3-0 since the last update. krunx beats Mifran to keep himself near the top as well. Octane loses all his games and will relegate.

Group C2
Krzysztof 5-1 PROMOTION/PROMOTION PLAYOFF
Doron Hoh 3-1
Njord 4-2
Mike |GG| 3-2
Dry-clean-only 1-3
Milly 2-3
Maréchal Lannes, duc de Montebello 0-6 RELEGATION

With only 2 players having lost 1 game, Krzysztof is now guaranteed at least a promotion playoff. With a h2h win vs Krzysztof, Doron Hoh can still get 1st if he wins his last 2 games. Njord and Mike are also vying for 2nd place. The Dry-clean-only vs Milly game is likely to determine the 2nd relegation spot.

Group D1
Platinum 2-0
Mirror 1-0
ferede 1-1
kicorse
Hasdrubal 0-1
BADA 0-2

This group is moving pretty slowly, but since this group only has 6, 2-0 is a pretty good start for plat.

Group D2
Xenophon 4-1 PROMOTION
Nemo 2-1
almosttricky 3-2
Baer 2-3
Matt431 1-3 (1-0)
Bigchps 1-3 (0-1)

So, in this group we have the top 3 trying to promote and the bottom 3 trying to avoid relegation. Xenophon will get at least 2nd place since he has only lost to Nemo. Nemo is the wildcard in the top 3. He lost to almosttricky, so he needs to win both of his final games to promote. Among the bottom 3, a tie for last is still possible. Most importantly, I will not relegate 4 seasons in a row!

Group E1
GuestNWHSzY 6-0 WINNER! PROMOTION!
Ƨillynamenace 3-2
Ssese 2-2
butterfly94 3-3
MoneyMakingMitch 2-3
Graemes 2-4 RELEGATION
Robert E Lee 1-5 RELEGATION

Only 2 games left here. GuestNWHSzY has finished with a perfect 6-0! 2nd place will probably go to Silly or SSese, whoever avoids getting 3 losses. If they both end up 3-3, there will be some crazy tiebreakers. Robert E Lee and Graemes have already relegated since there are 3 relegations from E groups.

Group E2
Half Moon 2-0
Koopa Troopa 2-1
Cata Cauda 1-1
Sloppyfatginger 1-1
Rubin 0-1
Chiger 0-2

Half Moon takes the lead here with 2 straight victories with Koopa as a close 2nd place. Still, nobody has lost or won more than 2 games so far.

Group E3
Medna 3-0
Tof 2-0
ARand0mPlayer 1-1
Pink
le Marseillais 1-1
[*Voo*] tomn555 1-2
In4fun 0-4 (dropping out of league)

Medna and Tof are the early leaders here. In4fun is dropping out and surrendering his games.

Group F1
Petruski 3-0
Meldarion 3-2
NoobSchool (AHoL) • apex 1-1
machine-washed-bliss 2-2
THE AWESOME OTTERYCAT 1-1
Coronel Gavilan 1-2
Coyote 0-3

Petruski is the leader here after 2 straight wins. Meldarion is in 2nd for now, but nobody is a clear threat to Petruski as of now.

Group F2
Summer 4-1
Farah 2-0
Tito 2-1
{{NeRo}} 1-1
Gyver 1-2
Bayern München is the best! 0-2
Prophet 0-3

Hypothet dropped so Farah was added to this group. Anyway, this is a very competitive F group. Summer and Farah lead with Tito close behind.

Group F3

Kevin Turner 3-2 (1-0)
Angel Bob 3-2 (0-1)
Le Count H 3-3
Andre Lafmöller 2-3

Group F4
Soldier of Orange 3-0
Lucien Muller 2-1
PresidentMDW 3-2
Twyla
Terence Kill 1-1
Great Expanse 1-2

There isn't a lot of change here since the last update. Soldier of Orange is still in first with Lucien and President in 2nd and 3rd. Twyla needs to finish some games!

Group F5

Markus 4-1

Bob Grenderman wins F5 with a 5-1 record, congrats man! There are still 4 people contending for 2nd. Markus can clinch it if he beats Etienne.

@Investor - I would like to do game analysis but I find myself short on time/energy to do it (each group has 15 or 21 games). If you or anyone else wants to post some interesting games I'm sure we could analyze them, though.

I'd be happy to.

Starting off, we have what looks to be the most important game of group A so far: Phoenix vs Beren. Thanks to Phoenix, Beren is now 2-1, eliminating the chance for a perfect score and narrowing his odds, while broadening the chances for several other players. Deadman and timon are still undefeated (though more due to slowness, with zero unfinished games), so they potentially stand to gain the most from this match.

Now, on to the board
https://www.warzone.com/MultiPlayer?GameID=17021689

A very open Europe, with Antarctica/Australia/South America being the other, main playable option. Beren double picks Ant, with third at East China and a 4, 5, 6 combination on West/Central Russia. Phoenix also double picks Ant but with third pick Scandinavia, and a much different idea with his later picks (SEA, East China, East Africa).

As a result of picks, turn 1 Phoenix has SEA, South America and Scan vs Ant, East China and West Russia. Beren's safest income is EC, so he goes for it. Likewise, Phoenix goes for his safest option, Scandinavia. They meet at SEA/EC's border turn 2, and Phoenix takes a risk and finishes SEA. The next turn is 11-9 favoring Phoenix, and Beren has no easy way to block Phoenix from dual threats in Ant & East China.

The match could have played out differently if Beren had prevented SEA from completion, as he would have been left with a 9-8 income advantage and options against Scandinavia. Splitting turn 3 and hitting Tibet, in hindsight, probably decided the game's outcome.

Another minor note or two:

Turn 3, Beren didn't have enough income to attempt breaking Antarctica
Turn 4 was similar, as he didn't have enough of an advantage in Scandinavia to force anything, so he had no choice but to give ground. Despite this though, Phoenix did make a good call adding a few armies to Scandinavia's defense turn 4, to keep risks low.

Good analysis on the game, Investor. I think I would have picked a little differently here to be honest. 1/2 in S. America and Antarctica seems like a good choice. I actually like Beren's choice of East China as 3, but I think I would have taken scand as 4, West Russia as 5, and maybe Greenland as 6 for a counter.

Another tempting option is Scand and West Russia as 1/2, S. America and Antarctica as 3/4, counter with Madagascar as 5, and then maybe C. America or East China as 6. I don't really like SE Asia as a pick because East China is decent and it takes 3 turns to finish. Phoenix did make it work this game, though.

I think Beren would have won if he assumed Phonix had scand and gone for the double border. He also needed to prevent Phoenix from finishing SE Asia. Expanding in West Russia seems overly risky to me, but of course hindsight is always 20/20.
