I mean, look it paid out well. The line was at -400 when the tournament started. I got mine, so I say nothing to see here.

A team of all-stars I would have eagerly placed a wager on at the start. Well done to Yorkshire Pudding and all involved!

Late to the congrats, but yeah Goldie, you were the real MVP for setting this up and going through the entire process with all the teams.

Then of course to all of my Yorkshire teammates, well done. Really enjoyable to share strategies and collaborate on games, especially the 1v1s. Glad to see my hometown region of Eastern Canada came second, so happy about that. Just had to take my dip skills to my new home of London England :)

Games were unranked, so don't affect GR. This was done to remove disincentives for individuals to potentially throw games for the sake of their team.

I'll inquire on the trophies on player profiles.

Re: Announcing the 2021 WebDip World Cup!

Now that tournaments are supported better on the website, are there plans to add trophies to player profiles?

If your ghost rating stayed the same but your ranking went down all that means in the meantime other players won/drew games and jumped you in the rankings...

@Brumark, is this why you insisted on 17 centres at the end? ; )

And my MVP ranking for 1v1 games: sort by net balance (wins minus losses) then by performance (wins plus half draws divided by games played). The cutoff is a positive balance.

Code: Select all

rank	player		team			played	won	lost	drawn	perf	balance
1	teccles		yorkshire puddings	 6	6	0	0	100,00%	6,00
2	captainmeme	yorkshire puddings	 6	5	0	1	 91,67%	5,00
3	yoyoyozo	greatest lakes		10	7	3	0	 70,00%	4,00
4	pyxxy		cheesesteaks		 5	4	1	0	 80,00%	3,00
5	randaz20	prosecco		 7	5	2	0	 71,43%	3,00
6	roganjosh	great lakes		12	7	4	1	 62,50%	3,00

I like to fiddle around a bit with the game stats. So this is my MVP ranking for 7-players games, just sorting by total points scored, and then by points in the finals. I, rather arbitrarily, set a cutoff at 170 pts total, i.e. around 30% more of the average result (454 / 7 * 2).

Code: Select all

rank	player			team			qualif	final	tot
1	Brumark			yorkshire puddings	148,0	157,0	305,0
2	desdemona22		yorkshire puddings	154,0	151,0	305,0
3	Yonni			eastern canada		154,0	149,0	303,0
4	cdngooner		eastern canada		153,0	112,0	265,0
5	teccles			yorkshire puddings	127,0	133,0	260,0
6	riccardo falconi	prosecco		133,5	114,0	247,5
7	gimix			prosecco		 66,0	151,0	217,0
8	CSteinhardt		california		125,0	 59,0	184,0
9	Peregrine Falcon	eastern canada		 43,5	133,0	176,5
Once again, congrats Puddings & Canada. What else can be said?

So I've been away for a few days, but I wanted to join in congratulating gold medalists Yorkshire Puddings, silver medalists Eastern Canada, and - why not - also my teammates, bronze medalists Prosecco. But actually, congrats to everybody who played, all games have been quite high level and fun.

And of course, a big Thank You to our TD Goldfinger!

And may I say, thumbs up to Old Europe: three teams in the Final round, and 1st and 3rd place at the end.

Congrats to the Yorkshire Puddings, just a phenomenal finish from everyone on that team, especially in the 1v1s. Unparalleled levels of dominance.

Congratulations to all the winners and podium finishers!

Re: Announcing the 2021 WebDip World Cup!

by cdngooner » Mon Aug 02, 2021 7:04 pm

I really enjoyed that, and winning the silver was more than I expected. Proud to have gotten into the draws in all my games, against top notch opposition.

Great team experience with Hamilton Brian, Yonni and Peregrine Falcon. We will be spending the next two years practising 1v1's.

Congratulations to Yorkshire Puddings, Prosecco and all the other teams that made these such enjoyable games.

And mostly thanks to Goldfinger0303 for organizing and shepherding us safely and fairly to conclusion. This was most of a year in the making and we (the players) really appreciate all the time you gave.

Re: Announcing the 2021 WebDip World Cup!

Yeah, a massive thank you to goldfinger for organising and GM'ing very attentively, and to everyone who took part. It was a really fun tournament - talking through matches in detail with other people is a rare treat. While of course all of my teammates are individually brilliant, sharing ideas definitely raised the level of our game massively.
