2nd Annual NamePros Rock Paper Scissors Championship

kruwreka · Feb 10, 2009

Hello there fine folks

With the dog days of winter upon us, I feel it would be a great time to bring back the the NamePros Rock Paper Scissors Championship.

Last year, after a false start to the tournament, we had a great turn out and an excellent competition ensued to bring us the first ever NamePros RPS champion Trips No Limit/Phil.

The rules will remain the same:

Each contestant will PM me 15 moves (rock, paper or scissors) for each match.

11 of those moves will be used in the game to determine a winner. The additional 4 moves will be used for sudden death overtime in case of a tie after the initial 11 moves are played out.

Depending on the turnout, we will follow with the same general format. A round robin tourney, best of three playoffs and best of five championship game.

The deadlines are going to be fixed this time around to Monday and Thursday
10pm PST.
---------------------------------

The deadline to register for the game will be Monday, February 23rd at 10pm PST. The first match will occur on Monday, March 2nd. I will post the groups and match schedules somewhere in between.

I will be contacting the original participants in the next day or two via PM to see if they want to return and of course will be accepting new players to the competition.

If you are interested to join and play, please leave a comment in this thread.

On a serious note: This tournament last a while. It took almost two months to finish the first one once it got going. Part of the excellent experience we had last year was, that with the exception of one person who quit after losing the 1st match, all the other players remained and competed hard all the way, even if they didn't have a shot to advance into the playoff, and stuck around to cheer on the those who did.

Please be sure that you can commit to the tournament so that we can have another great competition.

Thank you and good luck

--Kru

a close game, though Randomo was luckier... congrats!

Luckier? Waddya mean?! There's no luck in RPS!

.Andy · Mar 20, 2009

SWeet I won. Is Rj using his admin feature to read pm it seems like he always wins.

Phil said:
Well done. You didn't fall for the "squadron of paper airplanes" tactic like last
year. :hehe: Was my 11-0 comment a little to obvious? :red:

This is so not fair.

I was to defeat you...

I've seen the end before...

Oh!
I thought it was top 2 into semi-finals. (Serves me right for not reading thoroughly).
So, congrats to RJ, Bbrez1 and Phil for also being guaranteed quarter-finalists.

How's it going to work if me, NotLikeYou, Ross and the winner of Lzy/Galel are all tied on 5-4 in 3rd/4th/5th/6th?
Who goes through?

Thanks

Hope you make it too :tu:

Lets get to the results.

Jerlene . . . . . .	0	9

And now for the explanation:

BBrez1 and RJ finish first and second respectively based on their record.
Of all the players tied with a 5-4 record, Ross scored the most victories in head-to head competition by defeating NotLikeYou, HastyHost-Andy and Lzy. Therefore Ross finishes in third place.
Lzy defeated only NotLikeYou and was eliminated from contention.
Of the three remaining players, all with two victories in head-to-head competition, NotLikeYou beat both HastHoty-Andy and S~ to grab the fourth and final spot in the playoffs.

And now for the explanation:

SSamriga beat Phil head-to-head, securing the top spot
Of the three players tied with a 5-4 record, P-C beat both Mis_chiff and Irieman to grab the fourth and final spot in the playoffs.

I hope my explanations were comprehensive and I will answer any questions you may have.

I want to thank you all for making this another fun tournament. You guys are a blast. Those who are moving on good luck and those whose tournament has ended for this year, I hope you stick around and cheer on the competition.

I will post the match-ups and schedule tomorrow night around this time.
