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

And there you have it folks. Some of the players at the top are starting to get some separation.

Can you reel them back in? Can you derail their championship aspirations? Can you make my hair turn gray trying to figure out who beat whom when I'm figuring out the standings tie-breakers?

You have two more rounds to try

Deadline for round eight is Thursday March 26rd @10pm PDT

Ouch. What's funny is original plans was this but inverted- open with S and a line of Rs, which would have won.
Qualification still mathematically possible, but very, very unlikely now

kruwreka · Mar 24, 2009

Actually you would have lost that way too. If you had opened with the reverse, your S would have beaten Andy's first P. After that only Andy's S were beatable and there are only two of those for a total of 3 points.

Andy has four additional P's which would have beaten your R's for a total of 4 points

...and oh my sweet god does the above paragraph just sound so filthy

Coopey · Mar 24, 2009

Oh yeah! Ha.

Awww, I'm sorry. You know I'm rooting for you to advance to the next round
(and to get good .Tel names

).

Seems to be a term that's being used more and more lately.
I wonder if this RL thing will actually catch on.

Phil · Mar 26, 2009

Almost forgot today's the deadline for the next round.
Got distracted by .Tel. - My round 8 throws are in.

oh well, would have been a nice 11-0 for me

Coopey · Mar 26, 2009

Got my round 8 moves in.
Playing for pride now. (Or a very unlikely 2nd place spot).

And we're into the stretch run. One more round and were into the playoffs.

Speaking of playoffs, I am contemplating of starting the best-of-three quarterfinals next Friday and shortening the time between round to two days much like last year. This would leave the deadline for round 2 on a Sunday night. How does that sound to everyone?

Deadline for Round 9 is Monday March 30th at 10pm PDT

thanks

I had a feeling Phil could do a PPP... and was afraid he doesn't decide on RRR... at the last moment

xrvel · Mar 27, 2009

I was owned

kruwreka · Mar 27, 2009

You'll win the next one

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...

actually I had my moves sent in quite early, but I did a little thinking before, saw that I had used a lot of rocks before so you might think that all papers is a good strategy

I hope to get to the final and face you once more
