You play with your alt in the ladder.

the funny part is he lost to his alt in the ladder

HI,
It seems these matches are challanging, it would be nice to participate. I wish to join if its possible?
Thanks in advance

I'll figure out how to squeeze you all in. Meanwhile, Group D also requires a 3-way mini-tourney to resolve 2nd, 3rd and 4th place:

Scorched Earth: no problem.

It's done for the group D

1 more group I think.

Yes, only Group C (which has moved VERY slowly) is left - with the last two games in progress. In that Round Robin, there is a potential for a 3-way tie. But, because that tournament has gone so slowly, any tie that cannot be resolved through the ordinary head-to-head rule will NOT be settled with a mini-tie-breaking tournament - as this season has been too slow as it is to finish. Instead, as discussed earlier, any such tie-loop will be resolved by punishing the slowest turn-speed.

Current players, please remember to let us know if you do NOT wish to participate in Season 8. See earlier in this thread for the expected format for season 8.

Late Season Update:

Last game is underway and no further tie-breakers (which would only be required in Group C if further league retirements are announced).

Please see earlier in the thread for the pattern for Season 8 which can begin after the last game of season 7 between Z-dog and Turing. Here is how the new season shakes out then:

* A further spot opened up with the disappearance of Iblocka. The promotion went to 2nd place in H1 rather than H2 only because there were more participants in H1.

** Group G will have 8 rather than 7 to keep things most even and promoting all but the bottom 2 of each of H1 and H2. The new H groups may be added to if more express interest.

These brackets are subject to further retirement notices. Please be considerate in letting us know instead of silently dropping out.

Will next season have autoboot? I think not having autoboot made some groups take longer than they had to.

I agree about autoboot. Group A was the only one, actually, where I forgot to set it. Good thing I didn't forget for Group C!

:( on hedja getting the final spot... I would have been murdered in that group though

Thanks Chokecherry for organizing all this. I look forward to playing. :)

Looking forward to it too :)

Chokecherry, could you explain the concept of the H1 and H2 groups please? I don't see why you don't just go into Group I and so on.

Sure. There isn't necessarily an H1 and an H2, but it has happened now a couple of times. The reason that it isn't H and I is because there is no hierarchy between them. It was necessary to accommodate a lot of new players - too many for one group, but half of the newcomers should not get an arbitrary advantage.

This also means players from the H groups get promoted on an even level. They are shuffled forward - if 6 are to be promoted to G, for example (not uncommon), there will be 3 from each of the groups.

OK that makes sense now. Thanks for that.

:( on hedja getting the final spot... I would have been murdered in that group though

I don't see you, were you going to be put in there instead of me? I'm sorry again, I feel bad after what happened in the National tournament as well :(

its not your fault, and your better than me anywyas, the time i beat you was on unfamiliar map... but yeah i got second in the group

Oh ok, I forgot that you used to be fordman, I had to check your profile :)

I couldn't find you in the position for the next season, so I was thinking how did I get in your way this time.

Once again my apologies, I wish you the best luck for this season and hope you win your group :D

Yep, you both got second in your respective groups, but Hedja got the last superpromotion spot because he was also 7th last instead of 6th last.

Last game of C is over! I'll get the Season 8 started soon, so players, watch your tournament invites.
