Wanted to clarify the tie-breaker for 8th place and how it was computed.

Because there were more than 2 people tied for the last spot, oldman, lilwarrior, and myself, it went from head to head results to the 2nd tie-breaker which is the point differential.

I beat lilwarrior 5-3 and oldman 6-4. Oldman beat lilwarrior 5-2, so based on the point differential in the related games between the tied parties, I win the tie-breaker for the final spot.

There still exists the possibility for another tie, which would impact the placement. That is the only thing holding up the playoff brackets, 2 games involving Zulu.

I like the way we broke ties in the last tourney, but then again, I may be a little biased.

I think this is a good example of why we need new leadership every tourney; different viewpoints, different perspectives.

I think you would be great as our next host and humbly submit your name to the masses.
What say you lilwarrior, will you consider being the host for TC#4?

If we divide up the responsibilities, then I am fine with that. As I see it so far, there are several tasks:

1) Oversee disputes - peacemaker role
2) Assemble results into a spreadsheet
3) Post results on webpage
4) Determine rules for tourney

Any more?

I am willing to do #1 and #4. I think #3 could be a role all by itself. That would leave #3 possibly to Kumara each time, which by that time seems quite simple, no?

I think Chwaq has volunteered to do #2 (which he can forward to the leaders), and Kumara has already said he would do #3, so there you go!

Oops - I meant to say that #2 is a role all by itself.
