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

If I understand right, the best of three from each group will go to playoffs? :blink:

 

[kruwreka]

No BBrez1 ... the best four players from each group will move into the quarterfinals. in the quarterfinals you will play a best-of-three style match. That means the player who beats his opponent 2 matches to 1 match will win and move to the next round, the semifinals.

Ok, that makes sense. Thanks

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/HastyHost-Andy, Ross and the winner of Lzy/Galel are all tied on 5-4 in 3rd/4th/5th/6th?
Who goes through?

SUDDEN DEATH!

 

[mis_chiff]

Well the leaders are out of my reach now
but I'm not out till it's over :p

and then we start again? :hehe:

Will it be possible for me play against someone from my group in the championship
or will it be the winner of each group that faces each other (like the NFL conferences)?
I don't recall how it was done last year.

 

[Coopey]

It should be random picks, or-

A-1 v B-4
} winners play
B-2 v A-3

B-1 v A-4
} winners play
A-2 v B-3

...no?

Round 8 moves are just about to be PM'd.

I will try to go with the head-to-head matchup results between the people who are tied at first. If I can't figure out that way I will create a sudden death match between the people who are still tied. So Wednesday and Thursday will be important for you to be ready to go at a minutes notice.

Will it be possible for me play against someone from my group in the championship
or will it be the winner of each group that faces each other (like the NFL conferences)?
I don't recall how it was done last year.

Last year was a little different because we had 3 groups so I had the two people with the best record play the two wild-card spots and the other match ups were picked out of a hat. This year we will go with the format S~ proposed

A-1 v B-4
} winners play
B-2 v A-3

B-1 v A-4
} winners play
A-2 v B-3

BTW S~ thank you for posting that

Only 24 hours to get in your throws for the final round!!

• 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.

• 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.
