2nd Annual NamePros Rock Paper Scissors Championship

[kruwreka]

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

Keeping you in suspense wasn't I?

Here is the result of the round three of the semifinal to determine who goes to the final to meet Bbrez1.


Lightning_Blue . . . R S P R S S R R R R S . . . . 3
Ssamriga. . . . . . . R P S R P S R P S R S . . . . 2

Lightning_Blue beats Ssamriga 2-1 in the best of three match-up


And there it is folks. The final match up is set. The brash and confident Bbrez1 takes on the quietly efficient Lightning Blue. Who will come out on top? And why do I sound like a 30's radio announcer?

The final match up is a best of five contest so you will have to win 3 of the five to receive your trophy. All other rules stay the same.


Deadline for round one of the final is Friday April 17th at 10pm PST


Good luck

Congratulations Lightning Blue on becoming the 2009 RPS Champion!!

:tu:

Although I must admit my money was on Bbrez1 to sneak through for a 3-2...

 

[Phil]

Congratulations lighting_blue. Well played. :tu:

Thanks kruwreka for all the work you put into this.

 

[lighting_blue]

Nice relax after several issue on recession. Never imagine I could win this competition. Sometimes almost forget to send the move. Lucky the move never get late at Kru side.

And after several competition, I feel like this game is not really easy. Even for me its just about random move I send, but sometimes I do check opponent move in the past, before I decide to use which move.

Anyway, Never imagine I could win, so again thanks to Kru. Will look for this competition next year.

Bravo !!!

 

[mis_chiff]

Congratulations Lightning Blue!!

Well played :tu:


A special thanks to kruwreka for all the work you put into this again,
it is very much appreciated!

 

[Phil]

So when is the big trophy ceremony?

 

[mis_chiff]

So when is the big trophy ceremony?

When you notice yours is missing :D :lol: :loveyou:

 

[Phil]

When you notice yours is missing :D :lol: :loveyou:

But it's already got the year 2008 engraved. Surely -RJ- can have another one
manufactured, it wouldn't break the bank. :D
Unless you meant, mis_chiff, you've got some mastermind plan for a trophy heist
while the ceremony is going on? :hearts:

 

[RJ]

Congratulations Lightning Blue!!
