    Default Game #9 Thread

    Only 2 to go! Don't forget that only 8 games count, so if you've played 8 already your next 2 scores will just replace your worst two. A chance to make up for any bad runs

    Date: 2nd December 2012
    Time: 7.30 WET (UK time) - 2.30pm ET
    Structure: 10k starting chips, 5 minute blinds
    Late reg: 10 minutes
    Seats: 6 max

    The tournament is up in the lobby now - please don't register if you can't play. If you sit out for the first 30-45 minutes then you'll be removed from the standings otherwise you'll get more points than people who actually played

    If there's interest in 6max again next week to finish we can do that.

    Pascal, I'll be late on Sunday, please don't boot me out I've only played 5 games and need the points to be the first champion to have played one game less than anyone else (maybe)

    Looks like the code might be counting all 9 games instead of just 8, will get that sorted and post "official" results up.

    Also, congrats on retaking the lead Xianti It's going to be really, really close between me, you and TBC in the last game I think!

    There's a 30 point bonus for playing all games, right? I think that gives me, joker, hoopy, and supa a fighting chance in game 10.

    Is that right??? I didn't know this. I missed a game because I was out of town! NoOoOoOoOOoOOoooOO!!

    Forgot about that, let me check the rules.

    "Play all 10 games and receive 30 bonus points!"

    Wow that makes it close!

    So IF these results are correct and the top 8 scores for those who have played 9 are being displayed, AND the people who have played 9 ALL play the final game then the line up actually looks like this:

    joker - 216 points
    Gizmo - 209.1
    Xianti - 209
    Pascal - 205.4
    Hoopy - 202.2
    supa - 196.3
    The Bean Counter - 190.4
    seven-deuce - 181.9
    simpledude - 171.7
    Sloomer - 164.7
  26. #26
    Assuming 18 players play again, prizes will be:

    1st - 51.89
    2nd - 36.69
    3rd - 29.96
    4th - 25.95
    5th - 23.21

    So if anyone between Joker and Hoopy wins they'll win the whole thing as no one will be able to get enough points to catch up.

    That's unlucky for you, Xianti I think this rule needs to be changed for next time because being forced to commit to all games is absurd.

    This is the first time Gauntlet has run in 2 years or something and it's the first time I've run a league last this so some things have been kinda worked out along the way. Looking at how close it is after 8 games, the 30 point bonus is probably a bit too much, although it's obviously made it way tighter at the top haha. The last game is going to be awesome. I don't think you're forced to commit to all games although I think it does give a slightly overly large advantage to anyone who does.

    It's not just unlucky for Xianti, it's unlucky for me too

    I'm still not sure if those points are correct, the guys who have played 9 games could find themselves losing 10+ points each if all 9 games are currently being counted.

    This would make a not-so-insignificant difference.

    I don't know if the bonus is necessary at all. It's already a serious disadvantage to miss games as it is. I have one of the highest average points per games, but I have no chance to win the season because I will have played two or three less games than everyone else at the top of the leaderboard. With the point structure the way it is, it's already enough incentive to play as many games as possible without having the bonus.

    Yeah, I'm surprised sup peeps didn't read (remember) the rules. My entire strat was based on this and other than some heinous play on my part it's working pretty well.

    Plus, I really only want my goddam t shirt so I'm still in the running for that.

    If you played 8 games and had the highest average points per game then you'd win

    Like I said, before the next season starts we can all look over this season and make changes etc, e.g. choosing which weeks are 9max/6max before and whatever.

    Will update when I have info on standings calculations
