Round Robin #1:


Two pools of 5, A and B. Everyone plays everyone else once, and we rank by W/L record.


A1
A2
A3
A4
A5


B1
B2
B3
B4
B5


Then for round 2, we eliminate A4, A5, B4, and B5.


We play an outher Round Robin, but you only play the teams from the other Pool, you don't play your pools teams again. But you do retain your record against those teams, and we see who has the highest overall win total a champion.


Example:


A1: 4-0
A2: 3-1
A3: 2-2
A4: 1-3
A5: 0-4


B1: 3-1
B2: 3-1
B3: 2-2
B4: 1-3
B5: 1-3


For Round 1, the top three from each advance, and play a round robin against the other pool only.


A1 v B3
A2 v B2
A3 v B1


A1 v B2
A2 v B1
A3 v B3


A1 v B1
A2 v B3
A3 v B2


The key here is that each of them go into this second round starting with the record they finished the first round with but only against the actual teams that made it to the second round. So A1 would be 2-0 to start, A2 would be 1-1, etc., etc.


This gives everyone who advances games against everyone else who advances, and you get a result that is nearly a ten team round robin.


As we stand now, with our current rankings, we would have:


A1: Habbaku
A2: solmyr
A3:Berkut
A4: Nels
A5:Drakken


B1: mkiefte
B2: Tamas
B3: sbr
B4: bogh
B5: baron

Habbaku

The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

-J. R. R. Tolkien

With Habbaku in, it's all about second place now.

Delirium

I don't think I've ever won a game of Twilight Struggle, have never played it pbem, and I don't know the deluxe version changes, but it sounds like fun anyway. I'm in too.
Come writers and critics who prophesize with your pen, and keep your eyes wide the chance won't come again; but don't speak too soon for the wheel's still in spin, and there's no telling who that it's naming. For the loser now will be later to win, cause the times they are a-changin'. -- B Dylan

Berkut

Habs is certainly beatable. You just have to get all the right cards in the right order and have him roll badly. It's not hard.

Me too.  Will be more than happy to accidentally DefCon in Early War.  Count me in, I can lose as easy in the first round as any other #16 seed.

Razgovory

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

Drakken

I would have won some, had I not DEFCON-suicided myself by mistake.  :(
