1st Annual Languish Twilight Struggle Tournament

[Tamas]

Won the game against bogh on points.

Was an interesting game. I got a surprising early lead as US, but then bogh really started rolling and I totally lost the initiative.
That's until he couldn't manage to roll a success on Bear Trap for almost an entire turn. The game was mine to lose from there I think.

[Berkut]

So bogh lost both games?

That means the remaining game doesn't matter. Both Tamas and sbr will advance regardless who wins.

[Tamas]

I dont understand your pairings table.

[Berkut]

So the idea of this format is that the first round has everyone playing everyone else in their pool.

You take the top three from each pool to advance to the second round.

In the second round, everyone plays everyone from THE OTHER POOL, but only those who actually advanced.

Further, they keep the record they had from the first round, but only against those that they played who made it into the second round with them.

Then, by the end of the second round, everyone who has advanced will have played everyone else who had advanced, and their record of W-L will be only against other advancers.

It is basically a way of doing round robin, but you don't have to play *everyone* in the tournament - just those from your pool, and those who advance from the other pools.

So I advanced, but I am not going to play Habbaku and Nels, because I already played them.

I am going to play sbr, Tamas, and mkiefte - the player in Round 2 who I did not play in Round 1.

Once we are done with Round 2, we will all be ranked by W-L. mkiefte will be at worst 2-3, since he already has 2 wins, and sbr will be at best 3-2, since he already has 2 losses. He probably has to win all three matches to have a shot at coming in first.

[Berkut]

Now, if you actually don't care, and just want to know who to play, the pairings table lists each player in Round 2, and who they should play a game against.

You need to play games against Habbaku, Berkut, and Nels.
