ODC 2019 Tournament Start

[Squigs44]

Wait why did I only score 6 points?
I finished with 5 SC's.
That's 14.7% of the 34 available SC's.
The rules say scores in a draw are based on the proportion of SC's held.
Why didn't I score 14 or 15 points?

This is sum of squares not PPSC. You square your SCs, your opponents square their SCs, sum all of the squares, then take your square and divide it by the sum of squares.

This is sum of squares not PPSC. You square your SCs, your opponents square their SCs, sum all of the squares, then take your square and divide it by the sum of squares.

For example, in your game, the finishing SCs were 17, 10, 5, 2. So the sum of squares is 289 + 100 + 25 + 4 = 418.
25 / 418 = 5.98%.

You can use this calculator to check your score. There's also an explanation in the tournament rules which you were required to read when you signed up.

I read it, it just didn't make much sense.

[Jamiet99uk]

Squiggles did a better job of explaining.

Seems a pointlessly math-heavy scoring system though.

You've played in 21 sum of squares scoring games on the site. You should know what sum of squares is and why it is used.

New game finished G6 and a first two way draw! Perhaps there was a possibility for both winners to solo here? Anyhow, MakTub and Aurelia enter the top 28 at 20 and 21 with each 50 point, and only/still 10 games left. If Josafina's prediction is correct (which was, however, based on the absence of bizarre two way draws), they would go to the next round:

I did some quick calculations - so not exactly "correct". But, I did find that above 80 as of the last update guarantees a spot in the next round. For that scenario to happen several bizarre two way draws would have to take place between specific players - so improbable at best.

If I were a bookie I would put the over/under at 44 points.

Just a small correction: it looks as though Napoleon of Oz, who is listed as 15th, which is actually 16th, should, in fact, be 16th, which is actually 17th, whereas DarthWader, who is listed as 16th, which is actually 17th, should, in fact be 15th, which is actually 16th.

I hope that's clear.

[Jamiet99uk]

Squiggles did a better job of explaining.

Seems a pointlessly math-heavy scoring system though.

You've played in 21 sum of squares scoring games on the site. You should know what sum of squares is and why it is used.

I join games because I like to play Diplomacy. I care little about points. Wins, draws, losses - those are interesting. Points, less so.

[Durga]

I need a substitute player for a good position. Message me privately if you're interested

[Durga]

Someone PLS!!!

[VillageIdiot]

Thought you had a list of subs?

[The Belgian Bulldog]

Happy to announce that:
1. Another game has finished, G33, this time with yours truly involved. Unfortunately, a careful attempt to solo was stopped but still happy that I (normally) secured a spot in the next round.
2. The issue involving Darthwader and Napoleon of Oz :

Just a small correction: it looks as though Napoleon of Oz, who is listed as 15th, which is actually 16th, should, in fact, be 16th, which is actually 17th, whereas DarthWader, who is listed as 16th, which is actually 17th, should, in fact be 15th, which is actually 16th.
I hope that's clear.

was succesfully solved. It was difficult, but after several days, I was able come up with the solution : swap their places!
3. A new feature was added to enhance the readability of the list : a dotted line between the 28th and 29th spot, i.e. between securing a spot in the next round or not. Hopefully, this will solve the issue of having to add a number in view of the tie between Balki and VI.

Awesome job with the list!

Probably pushing my luck, but any chance we could indicate what sites players are representing? Always fun to see in this one where the frontrunners are coming from. I’m far too lazy to do it myself and can’t remember where the master list is anyways.

Got a sub! Thanks all for volunteering, I'll keep you guys in mind when the next asshole drops out.
