Mine (#3) was actually 3 Ugnaughts, instead of 2 Ugos and the Gran. There's a reason behind it, but I don't give away those kinds of secrets.

The missing squad is #7 repeated. Matt and I ran the same thing. And not to be a jerk or anything, but 3&4 were tied. Same with 5-8. My tournament report says I placed 5th

I lost to the winner, the 4th place guy lost to the 2nd place finisher. So, that's how it works!

I beat the 2nd place finisher in Swiss. So how does that factor in? Official touney report says I finished 5th That's what I'm going with.
If we have had a cancellations bracket I am sure I would have finished higher than 7th/8th. But we did not. |

It was Bgartz, a player from Dr. Divot's LGS. Together with Emr, they all came together, and Bgartz and Divot played the same squad. I dont think a skill or practice difference let DD finish 1st and BG 33rd since they practiced and prepared together. I think luck had a lot to do with it, as it did for anyone who made the top 8. |

It's not arbitrary; when players tie with W/L points, they move to a series of tiebreakers that reference your "strength of schedule," or how well your opponents did. You may have beat #2, but apparently something else either threw your tiebreakers down or #4's up. |

Yes all true. However, Lobo is not referring to the Swiss tie breaker rankings. I was ranked 2nd going into the single elim part. And that was only because I had lost my last game to Dr. Divot which boosted his ranking above mine. And I was assured a spot in the finals prior to that game as I was the only 6-0 (and we were told we would end after 6). So as round 6 ended, and I had to play 7th meaningless game (other than for seeding) I played it very loosely and was happy to end it early to get some food. Lobo is using the fact that he lost in the semis to Dr. Divot as a way to say he placed one spot ahead of the guy who lost in the same round to Barzilla. It has nothing to do with tie breakers. And I was just joking anyway. It was funny that the thread seemed to imply that there was an actual 1-8 ranking determined at Gencon and there was not. We merely played 7 rounds of Swiss and took the top 8 to single elim. You could go by the SoS and determine ranking, but that is pretty pointless as I pointed out. It honestly was not that important, I was just having fun with lobo and with my squad being in 8th

Wow, dunno how I missed this thread, but yes, that was Bgartz29. He faced 2 San squads and completely ignored my advice I gave to him regarding San on the trip up (get in the lead... STAY in the lead (actually I said: Get in the lead, stall for victory, meaning don't engage or risk anything until you are losing the lead)). I was debating about playing the same squad but I knew I did not practice it as much as them (I missed the two Saturdays when they got together and tried it out multiple times). I will say this, as I said on my first post after GenCon: It is no doubt that the best player from our venue scored the highest. I may know the rules better, but man I can not predict or be as careful in my moving as Kelly. Billy has one his share of events elsewhere as well, so I think he just was not prepared for timed-out losses. |

And if I remember correctly, you also warned us prior to Gencon you were bringing a "ringer". Although Dr. Divot wouldnt qualify as a true out of nowhere winner, he certainly wasnt on a lot of people's radar. Did Kelly face a lot of San Hill squads on their map? I dont remember at this point. I know he played Lobo, but dont know whose map. Did he have better success against them, or just get lucky on draws and maps? |

My game against Kelly was on my map, Death Star. Would've probably been very different had the game been on Geonosis. I just don't think I'm familiar enough with that map to have played correctly against him on it. Definitely would've been interesting. |

Yeah, interestingly, he saw the post immediately and was not too happy with it next Monday when we met. He said 'thanks for putting the pressure on me'. Heh, I guess it worked out all right!

His report is here: http://forums.gleemax.com/showpost.php?p=13483945&postcount=21 We as a group are feeling the itch again, I think it might be time for a road trip to another venue and playing in a tourney (the trip is well over half the fun, especially if I am driving... something always goes wrong!). |

This is just a list of the various squads, but in what order? Alphabetical order by player name? Order by who signed up first? It'd be nice if we could put it in a list from first place on down. |
