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]

Sure.

[CountDeMoney]

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

[Baron von Schtinkenbutt]

I'm in.

[Drakken]

Definitely. Incompetently. In.

[Tamas]

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

I can take him

[bogh]

Yes

[Martinus]

Is this the game that triggered fahdiz?

[Solmyr]

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

I've beaten him before.

[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.

[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.

[CountDeMoney]

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.

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 only played the computer version.

[Drakken]

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

[Maladict]

AAR please
