fo sho zhu. we must definitely play together more often. *Shakes fist*. I hate you by the way.

Anyways... Scamp is the man, great format, everyone got to play tons of matches against many different people to know more about where they stand for rankings, and it was run VERY smoothly... oh yeah... smooth =p. I needa get better at blokus... getting 4th both times sucks.

Really though, I was so glad to play so many matches that count, its not really practice to go to the biweekly once a month just to lose 2 matches and thats all your tounement experience is composed of, cause we all know friendlys and tournement matches are different. I haven't been going to the biweeklys for a very long time, so I don't know many people there but I felt a lot of pressure match after match (espcially the ones where I lost the first match and had to come back for the other 2).

too fun.

The DRIFT thing was cool, because we all got to play numberous matches instead of just just a few (based on whether or not we lost 2 matches). It was also fairly fast. We can do that again. Just one question Scamp, how do we do results?..

I'd like to thank Yemer (or whatever - Mike) for being my teams partner - we did good. And I'd like to thank Frotaz for being a racist sandbag. It is the case.

i liked the drift system that dave came up with too.. but there are a few things that i dont like about it. one thing, is the placings from past the #8 spot.. theres no direct way to figure out what place we got.. i knwo its not meant to be used every biweekly, but id still like to know what place i get, if at all possible.. in an accurate way

and also, it did seem to go by fast, but we started at around 2ish, and ended at around 7ish, for only 26 people, thats quite a long time.. just imagine if we accually had the normal amount of people there, the usual 35-40 people. it would take alot longer =\.

but i did enjoy playing alot of people rather than the few i get to play.

DRIFT went well and I'm glad people seem to be happy with the results so far. There were a few problems, which I'm going to try to address.

For everyone who said it was smoothly run, you're too kind. I think it went well, but I didn't think it was smoothly run. Making up new brackets each round was exhausting and tiring, and it loaded up all the TVs with friendlies making it even harder to get the next rounds going. For the next one I'm going to try to have some kind of pool printout where the next pool is already pre-determined based on where you finished in your pool, instead of me making new pools each time. It's just too much of a hassle to look through all the results and try to separate people. Playing someone twice isn't THAT bad, is it?

I don't really know how to rank people per se. I'm just going to list everyone's wins and losses and you can be the judge. Boback expressed interest in placing people based on their results, so he can do that. Personally, though, I didn't really think that tourney placings were that important to people. Anything after 5th is more about brackets than how you played, but if people want more direct results I can work something out for that.

Perhaps the pools can start being dropped based on making the final eight? That is, once you have no chance of making the final eight we can just drop those matches. Everyone should still get at least five matches if this is done.


And to all the people I lost to, I call tourney-running johns.

But yeah, I'm gonna take these losses and turn them into lessons.


Okay I'm going to go compile the results now. See you all in a few hours.

Hahahahahah.

As to scamp, next time (if I come) I'll bring my laptop to help you out. Good job on running the system.
Well I don't think we could do the scamp's system with tio XD. The laptop does make things a little quicker, but I don't mind making brackets and taking signups if it's any trouble for you to get your laptop to the biweeklies. Either way is fine with me :D

lol what do you mean? The results aren't really black and white. If we did double elimination, we could look at the 1 paper and just be like rank 1, 2, 3 and 4, but only the top 8 ranks are clear for this tournement.

I believe for the rest, scamp is writing down who everyone won against, and lost against.

GG to all. No johns.

I have a few suggestions/observations about DRIFT that would take a while to write up now, and I have to go to bed soon so I'll do it later.

Just from reading the posts I think the people that did "well" seem to like it more than those that didn't. Coincidence? Only thing I'm going to say is that I had fun. ^___________^

True, but I think everyone can agree that it's nice having more matches.

I mean, it really sucks in double elimination when people get stuck with two amazing players and get owned out of the tournement espcially when tournements only happen twice a month.

Ive been using Falco seriously for about 3-4 months.

And ive been using Fox seriously for maybe a month or so..

Actually ShadowBTZO taught me alot of Fox/Falco so its basically because of him why they're good (if they are even good) so yeah thank you BTZO for my Fox/Falco skill :]
