So if I skip Turkey and Phobia I have good odds of an early invite to Battle Islands?

You need to update the summary. I moved up to a 4th place tie (from 8th) by making it to the final game :)

First of all I would like to congratulate all my heart to the winner!
Frank, you are a damned good player!!!!

When I beat Jefferspin and qualified for the finals in the last tourney before the playoffs (WSOW #9 GuiRoma) the situation were the followings:
I had got 3075 points
Arlecchino had got 2375 points
Frank had got 2150 points
Ineffable had got 1925 points
and the rest players had got (much) less.

And all the players (at least with enough high points) didn't have chance to gain additonal points before the playoffs except Frank. He had just played with Krzychu, and he needed win 4 more games before he meet with me in the final of WSOW #9 GuiRoma.

So it seemed olny Frank is who can prevent me to win the whole series, but for this he needed to do actually 100% performance in his remaining matches!

And he did it!

Well, ok, he almost did it :P

Actually, I am the only player who could beat him after this :O
In the final of GuiRoma (btw I won our fight 2-1 in this series (1-1 on Turkey) :P)

But back to Frank, he did an amazing 9-1 series!
Very impressive perforemance!
Especially because he started from a big point disadvantages.
So congrats again! Well done!

Btw funny fact that I did a good enough series too (4-1), I had only 1 lost as well during my remaining games, plus I could win againts Frank, but despites these I was failed for winning the series :O Plus funny fact if I simple surrend my last playoffs game againts Arlechinno, I still win my group but Chris (who was my killer later :D ) didn't promote to the final :O Interesting but meaningless facts :D

So congrats again Frank, and I think you can defend your title!
I am rooting for You! ;-)

will try to give updates from time to time

Isn't it kind of unfair to make 4A double points?

And thanks for the kind words Ekstone! :)

4A should be much harder (I just looked and there are lots of good players in there), thus harder to get points vs general population. But the winner of that will make out nice.

Don't bother inviting me to any more tournaments; I don't have time for them. I have to agree with Frankdeslimste about it not really being fair to have 4A double points. Why do we have to group them up to begin with? As in, why do we need a 4A and a 4B? And if it is necessary for the event, why not alphabetize the players and randomly invite them (as in first alphabetically to tourney 1, second to tourney 2, third to tourney 1, etc.).

@Frank think of it as 4A normal points 4B half the normal points
@Chris that is exactly right the point is in future seasons to have rank based tournaments
@JSA no problem will not invite you

Still doing double points for 4A? They do have a point it handicaps newer players to WSOW

Edited 3/6/2015 15:41:34

Still dont understand the stuff about doubling points between 4a and 4b. It would be better if i knew that 4a group players are better, but i dont think so

*note that if you have joined 4 tournaments you will be invited 3 days later

another explanation regarding tournaments 4A and 4B
tournament 4A is a rank based tournament comprised of players that played in season 1
tournament 4B is an open tournament that any of the WSOW players can join
I plan to continue this next season and make even more of these tournament
the main reasons are:
1. to give incentive to players to continue to play each season
2. to eventually have more and more competitive tournaments meaning most of the players in a tournament are around the same skill level

in 4a there is 7 byes, still that group is given more points than 4b. Rewarding playing consecutive seasons make sense, and I assume you'll eventually make then without byes, but right now I'd understand if that seems unfair. Anyway the most important (imo) is to have fun, and I most certainly do in WSOW, one tourney being worth half points honestly have no impact on that. Personally I'd be curious to see how it impacts the final standings though :p
