2018 Year End Doubles Round Robin Tournament: The Doubles Crown Series

[once]

Now that I think about it, it actually doesn't matter if the assassin setting works or not -- the playing teams can agree on playing like that anyway.

So the 3 teams set up the game, the first player's team will target the second player's team, the second player's team will target the third, and so on. So the targets are still selected randomly, as they should.

You play the game. The first team to lose both players will lose the game, their assassins are the winners, and the remaining team will be the other team to qualify.

Does this make sense?

id just like to say this is great fun. should be a regular game mode. thanks th & dorcee.

Is our group (blue) the only one not completed? Can the winner just advance straight to the final please?

I understand that sentiment! We are getting there, the tournament will speed up when we complete these tiebreakers, i promise!

Very happy to hear it! I'm a bit jealous that I didn't get to take part, I've been watching the game fairly closely for the sake of reporting it on the podcast (which is obviously behind schedule -- i'll explain why on the show).

once and clarkenfeld defeat The General and Cardinals Rule, and then Sannheten and F15

And I'm not ashamed to admit that my pulse is racing a little! Thanks to all involved, playing and designing, and my utter respect to once for his guidance.

F15/Sann won the other tiebreaker.

During the game Cards proposed that instead of playing another game to decide first and second place, the first team to win game would end up as #1.

I think all agreed to this.

If so Clark&Once are #1
F15&me #2


OK with everyone?

Definitely ok with me. This has taken long enough to get through round 1 without playing yet another tie breaker. (Of course this is due and a testimony to the quality of players in our bracket.)

To be clear, I'm not complaining. It's been good fun so far.

When we can expect other games?

Glad you enjoyed it!

 

[clarkenfeld]

Assuming all the group games have ended? Be fun to see a final table, and the next round starting. Thanks again Bear!

Any news/progress?

 

[th-child]

Bumpity bump.

 

[BearNecessities]

I'll have the next round bracket up shortly! Thanks for the bumps!

Note: I've been checked out from MC a bit on account of craziness with work. I want to see this through, however, and am looking forward to the next steps of the tournament!

 

[BearNecessities]

Alright everyone, it's time for the next phase of the tournament: the best of 3s on Sea of Japan.
NOTE: First player may deploy and reinforce, but may not attack on their first turn

We have one unexpected tie breaker in red group for second place between Hortik + Hawd vs Linear and Luis.
If you could arrange for a best of one match using the same settings to be held on Far East Asia, that'd be great!

All other bracket games should proceed immediately.

Thanks again for all of you for participating and congratulations to those teams who have made it this far.

thanks bear - is there anything special re those best out of 3? or just best out of 3?

#1 dior & red vs clarkenfeld & once
https://www.majorcommand.com/games/469767/

ps - personally i get confused playing the same map simultaneously. so id prefer to do a succession of 3 games. but ill follow commands contradicting this preference.. (hai!)

 

[BearNecessities]

thanks bear - is there anything special re those best out of 3? or just best out of 3?

Yes, first player on turn 1 may not attack (in order to smooth out the huge 1st turn advantage). Deploying and reinforcing is allowed, however.
