Announcing the 2018 GvI and FvA Showdowns

[CptMike]

What the hell is going on with this? My last match finished over 2 months ago, and still waiting for the next match up...

Feel free to contact your opponent and see if he is ready.
Then create the game and send the information to Ezio.

[MadMarx]

This tournament is mostly self-directed at the moment. If you know who you are supposed to play, feel free to set up the games. If you are waiting on others to play games first, feel free to contact those people and encourage them to set up their games.

[MadMarx]

Not sure how I missed Mike’s message, sorry for the repeat info.

[RoganJosh]

Someone needs to make a push for the losers brackets I think. I'd volunteer, but it's hard when you don't have moderator rights.

[MadMarx]

Simply letting both parties know that should be playing, via PM, would go a long way...

I have made this several times. Let's inform players that they can move by themselves. If they have two times the same country they can ask Ezio for a shift (or any other moderator).

The only issue that I see is the update of the challonge report...

[CptMike]

* King John (profile)
and
* Nealkochhar (profile)
have not started yet GvI Set 87.

It could have been done for 2 months...

Some weeks ago, I informed both of them and Nealkochhar answered to me he had created the game at the time but King John had not registered. (If I understood well.)

Both visited the website recently...
I have just pinged both of them asking that they move forward.

Hello all. I've joined the team to get this going. Just give me a while to catch up and update everything.

Hello all. I've joined the team to get this going. Just give me a while to catch up and update everything.

Thank you. It does seem to be needing some attention.

[goldfinger0303]

The challonge should be up to date for FvA. Any games not underway I've sent creation PM's to one of the players. If I don't receive a response by Saturday, I'll get in touch again. If no contact following that, I'll deem the player to have resigned.

I'll get to GvI later today. I probably won't be maintaining these Google spreadsheets that have been set up. Seems like a lot of needless work. Let me know if you have any questions/Comments/concerns.

[MadMarx]

Thank you goldfinger0303!!!!

[goldfinger0303]

Okay, GvI is done as well now. 9 game creations sent out. Challonge updated. I also just dropped anyone who hasn't been online in more than a month. But it should be smooth(ER) sailing from here on.

When you complete games, please post the links and results here. This thread is going to be what I primarily monitor to keep tabs on the tournament. My main focus is going to remain on the World Cup, though.

[cspieker]

GvI set 123 completed
cspieker wins 1-0 (Italy win, Germany draw) over Raiku770

gameID=224303
gameID=224304

[CptMike]

FYI : in GvI Bozo has won against Drikus 2 months ago :
* game 1
* game 2
and the games between svkris and Bozo have started :
* game 1
* game 2
But the number is wrong : 128 vs 126.

[goldfinger0303]

Thank you for catching that, CptMike. I've fixed it.

If anyone else spots something I've missed, let me know.

[Nealkochhar]

Hey guys apologies for any delay I've caused (the less humble message is I decided to give you all time to practice before facing off with a Gladiator).

So what needs to happen and by who/whom for us to be entertained?

[goldfinger0303]

You'll receive a PM as soon as King John sets up the game.

[goldfinger0303]

Okay, by my mark we're down to six non-responders. I'll reach out to everyone over the weekend, but if things aren't rolling by Monday-Tuesday, I'm dropping them and carrying on.

I fear that with the server's problems, my adversary misses his turn here.

Is is possible to "reset" the time counter ?
