Big big thanks to Pushover and Frankdeslimste
and historical credit to Chokecherry

Not entirely sure if I'm in (No computer available for a few days), if not could you add me?

Was not expecting to jump up into Group G. (I tohught H was possible, but I guess G does work when J didn't make a return.

Is there a list of who was promoted and relegated (and left the league) for each of the groups from last season?

You'll have to piece together who left the league on your own, I sorta deleted that information :P

If you were promoted higher than you thought you would, it's typically because of dropouts. Particularly in the case of last season a lot of players did not join their tournies, leaving groups of 6, 5, or even 4 players. So making groups of 7 means having to super-promote a lot of lower tier players. Promotions after a meh season are much more likely for lower groups than higher groups.

In making these groups Frank and I tried to have at least one player relegate, and prioritize a 1st place super-promotion over a 3rd place promotion (explaining why Krzychu got promoted to B over FlyingBender).

Cheery Dog, in the original draft, I did have you in group H rather than G. But NoobSchool and Slammy dropping out created a domino effect which bumped you up an extra group.

I'd like to join, is it possible?

erm hey, me too please.

if you need another to round out the group I will join back up. I think I got to B last time, but got too busy. Will be fun to battle my way back up.

From the looks of it there are plenty of n00b spots left... I wonder if Frank will end up remaking the I groups cause of all the shmucks who aren't bothering to join up!!

I would like to join in the worst group possible, is there a Z group? :)

Hi folks. Just checking in after all these months to say how satisfying it is to see this is still interesting to enough people. Congrat's to Frank and Pushover!

What you started is the best league on warlight, no way we'd let it die! XD

Any word on remaking groups?

I've been prodding Frank about it, I guess I can keep doing so ^^; The I groups I think should be remade, either that or Frank and I message people who haven't joined their tournaments.

I truly can not understand people who ignore the big annoying message on their games page that tells them they are invited to tournaments...

I already send messages to everyone a few days ago. As of now I'm going to make 2 group I's.

To keep this thread alive, I thought I might be fun to post some premature updates on the league!

GROUP A
Miyagi (4-0)
Frankdeslimste (3-0)
grona (3-2)
timon92 (0-0)
Ineffable (1-2)
Widzisz (1-4)
Old Surehand (0-4)

BFFs Miyagi and Frank set to fight for the title, but timon is a wildcard.

GROUP B
Krzychu (4-0)
Tenshi (2-1)
marc2013 (1-1)
Pushover (1-1)
Heyheuhei (0-0)
Mirror (0-1)
Niko (0-4)

Krzychu with a commanding lead, but a lot can still happen in this group.

GROUP C
FlyingBender (2-1)
Metatron (1-0)
JV (1-0)
Marechal Lannes (2-2)
his balls (1-2)
Orange (0-2)

This looks like it'll be a tough group. Still too early to tell.

GROUP D
tartan1314 (5-0)
wakaranai (2-3)
Falker (2-2)
Andersault (1-1)
Timinator (1-2)
Riyamitie (0-1)
ferede (0-2)

A really impressive showing from tartan! His only threat is Riyamitie, who would need to win all remaining games to win the group

GROUP E
Jefferspin (3-0)
querulant (1-0)
Apollo (1-1)
kevin#1 (0-1)
Lolowut (0-3)

Ugh, this is the dead group. Two players failed to join, and a third (Lolowut) is booting from all games.

GROUP F
rocky1 (2-1)
Min34 (1-0)
Bjarke (2-2)
master of desaster (1-1)
Beren Erchamion (1-2)
Mycroft (0-1)

A competetive group so far

GROUP G
Bigchps147 (4-0)
dwoogee (3-1)
JSA (1-2)
bobbob000 (1-2)
CheeryDog (0-2)
CharlieBrown (0-2)

The top 3 are very likely to stay that way due to head to head. CharlieBrown is inactive.

GROUP H
Darkpie (2-0)
GeneralGror (2-0)
Kasparov (2-1)
The Turtle (1-2)
ARand0mPlayer (0-2)
Vortex (0-2)

Another close group

GROUP I1
aper (3-0)
Jackie Treehorn (1-0)
Polakillo (1-1)
TheJakiller (1-1)
HeadlessChicken (1-1)
smileyleg (2-3)
Lawlz (0-3)

It's still early, but aper is sitting pretty in the group

GROUP I2 - still not active yet
BlacKnight
ChrisCMU
ChristophU
Master ARC
Master Atom
Silver
Weisblutt

Our group has all joined but Frank has not started the tournament. I have sent him mail and PM's

He's aware of the issue, problem is he's only got his phone on him lately >.>

I see E has finished.

The only other one that got my attention (because I'm in it) is that 3rd place in G will belong to the winner of me vs bobbob.

Great idea Mister Dog, I think it's time for an update!!

GROUP A
Frankdeslimste (3-0)
Miyagi (4-1)
grona (4-2)
Ineffable (2-2)
timon92 (1-2)
Widzisz (1-4)
Old Surehand (0-4)

Not much has changed since last update. The Frank/Miyagi game could be huge, with the winner poised to take the group. Widzisz and Old Surehand are likely to relegate.

GROUP B
Krzychu (4-0)
Tenshi (3-1)
marc2013 (2-2)
Pushover (2-2)
Heyheuhei (0-0)
Mirror (0-2)
Niko (0-4)

Again not much changing due to Mirror and I being slow and Heyheuhei being on perpetual vacation. His status *says* he will be back on Oct 12, practically a month and a half after this season started. C'mon HHH. :/

Excepting HHH, the head-to-head pretty much mirrors the current standings. Niko pretty much needs to win all final games to prevent relegation.

GROUP C
FlyingBender (3-1)
Metatron (2-1)
JV (2-1)
Marechal Lannes (2-3)
Orange (1-2)
his balls (1-3)

Oh great, Flying is totally gonna win this group and kick my ass next season in group B XD. At least if he wins his final game against JV that is. I definitely didn't expect Orange (Dutch Desire) and his balls (Featherbucket/Longhouse) to be the ones threatening to relegate.

GROUP D
tartan1314 (5-0)
Falker (3-2)
wakaranai (3-3)
Andersault (2-2)
Timinator (1-2)
Riyamitie (0-1)
ferede (0-4)

Poor ferede ended up the group's punching bag. Otherwise, we're still waiting for tartan to clinch the group win vs Riyamitie

GROUP E - FINISHED
Jefferspin (4-0) - WINNER
kevin#1 (3-1)
Apollo (2-2) - Leaving the League
querulant (1-3) - Inactive
Lolowut (0-4) - Inactive

There were only 3 active players in this group. Yikes. Jefferspin effectively wins the 3 player tournament. Expect a large number of super-promotions for the lower groups.

GROUP F
master of desaster (4-1) - WINNER
Beren Erchamion (2-2)
Bjarke (2-2)
rocky1 (2-3)
Min34 (1-2)
Mycroft (1-2)

Master of Desaster has clinched the group win, while the rest of the group fights for scraps. This turned out to be a very tough group!

GROUP G
Bigchps147 (4-1) - WINNER
dwoogee (4-1)
bobbob000 (2-2)
CheeryDog (2-2)
JSA (1-3) - Leaving the league
CharlieBrown (0-4) - Inactive

Bigshps147, having won the tiebreaker, wins the group! The winner between Cheery Dog and bob snags 3rd. Based on JSA's performance, particularly his perplexing surrender against bob, I would assume he's quitting the league.

GROUP H
GeneralGror (4-0) - WINNER
Darkpie (4-1)
ARand0mPlayer (2-2)
Kasparov (2-3)
The Turtle (2-3)
Vortex (0-5)

Congrats to Gror for winning the group following relegation the prior season! (Which may not say much given that this is the lowest non-newbie group >.>) The final game between Gror and ARand0mPlayer only matters for the latter player: a win means 3rd place, while a loss means a 3-way tie for 3rd place.

GROUP I1
Jackie Treehorn (5-1) - WINNER
aper (4-2)
HeadlessChicken (4-2)
Polakillo (3-2)
smileyleg (3-3)
TheJakiller (1-4)
The National Socialist (Lawlz) (0-6)

Congrats to Jackie Treehorn, king of the first n00b group! If Polakillo wins his final game against The Jakiller, then this group will finish with a 3 way tie for 2nd place. If Polakillo loses, then the final group standings will end just as displayed.

GROUP I2
ChristophU (2-1)
ChrisCMU (2-1)
Master ARC (2-1)
Master Atom (2-2)
Silver (1-1)
BlacKnight (1-2)
Weisblutt (0-2)

Finally Frank was able to get to a PC and start group I2! Plenty can still happen in this group, but here's a surprising result: ChristophU has won the battle of Chrises!
