Fluffy to Gifted Tournament - FINISHED

[Eijolend]

Hey! Any news on our last missing game? I'd really like to wrap this tourney up some time soon.

Update: With Gfich apparently being mostly inactive and hearing nothing from bmike either, I sent both of them a PM asking for our last missing game. If I hear nothing withing 48 hours that game will be canceled and not counted.

I really don't think we're gonna play. Just call it a tie PLEASE!

Ok, then let's conclude this tournament.
Final Standings
Congratulations to SarenneraS for taking the First Place!

Thank you all for playing - I hope you enjoyed my first try at managing a tournament!

------------------------------------------

Things I learned from this tournament: Outwitters Tournaments over many rounds are a bad idea in general, since it is to be expected that some players will drop out. The Swiss format especially has the problem, that players dropping out still influence the tiebreakers and there's no good way of handling odd player numbers.

For the follow-up Rising Star Tournament for Fluffy to Gifted Players, that will launch soon, I'll try a different format that can accomodate more players and deal with these issues better.


And again: thanks for playing!

Thank you for hosting!

Big thanks to all - especially Eijolend - this was probably the most fun tourney I've done so far.

Apologies for the delays at the end - we had games time out and figured we could get rematches done in time, but that was not possible. By the time I realized it, I had lost the original replays - so calling that a draw seems fair (or we could both get losses - whatever people think is best).

Thanks for hosting Eijolend. This tournament was really fun, and I'm glad you will continue with a new one so more fluffy-gifteds get the chance to enjoy a tournament.
