Yes, but we don't have to wait for the entire round 1 to finish before any updates are made to the standings. Besides, if completed games were updated now, there would be less work later.

I think it is only 3-4 games that have no finished yet.
One of the games looks like it was supposed to be drawn, but it was paused instead. I wonder what is up with that

I make it 5 games plus that one that appears as though it was supposed to be drawn.

There are links to all games from GFDT and leagues on that site, or linked to by that site.

I've basically compiled it by hand. I will post in a bit once I get it copied onto a word document.

The big winner so far: Akroma! He won both of his games. Madness!

Ok, I have made two lists. I've rounded decimal points to the nearest tenth. I counted cgwhite and darwyn 17-17 pause as a two way draw. I've first ranked players by how many points they have guaranteed for themselves. Points in brackets are probable points added with any points they may already have. Probable points were determined by counting the number of players in a good position (if you have one centre I assume you will be eliminated) remaining in the 5 games that haven't finished (8,12,14,15 and 16). I then count that game as a draw for those players. I think that is the most likely outcome anyways. The second list has the players ranked according to these probable points.

Wonderllama doesn't make the cut-off point for qualification clear, but he says it will be atleast as many as there are games (ie 16). I would hazard that you are eliminated if you are past 21. Players that have no points are not ranked.

Again, sorry for any potential mistakes. Also if you feel like you are going to win an unfinished game then you will do better. I just made some assumptions for this list.

Good work Centurian. I'm sure thewonderllama will appreciate this.

There are a lot of poor saps in the 11.3 category fighting for that 21st spot... Were ties broken by seeding?

how many points should I have banked to ensure my eligibility to participate in the next iteration of the tournament? and when does it start again? march/april?

Heh...guess I should have told you guys I was fixing it up. All this is done by scripts, so you should never need to do it by hand. :)

There were some issues with my data that I've been cleaning up, so this has taken much longer than it should have.

But now...after much ado...the site has been updated. Game status is shown, and scores as of about half an hour ago have been posted. Standings will be updated on a regular basis. Scores in red indicate final scores for that player.

At the moment, the tournament runs annually, starting somewhere in the vicinity of September/October. If next year runs the same as this year (which, more or less, I expect it will), you'll need 10 points to participate.

top of the list, huh ?
I am not sure if I should be glad because I as a total newbie was able to clib to that spot, or if I should be worried because people will see that and do the same thing they did to marek in his games...*sweats*

3rd or 4th eh? Not bad for 22nd seed :-)

Are we still assuming gender now, in 2009?

You would make an official version right after mine wonderllama!

But it looks like to qualify you need anything better than a three way draw.

How has cgwhite not gone CD in game 2? He hasn't logged in since Jan 26th. Darwyn/cg is this one that is an agreed draw that a mod can enforce?

Am I to understand that there were 35 players and that they will be reduced to 21 players in the second round or to 14 players in the second round?

What happens after the second round?

21 players in second round, top 7 to the final round.

There were actually 56 players entered in the tournament, its just not all of them survived any games.

Also, the Wonderllama, I assume you calculated the in play points by how many centres the player currently has? That is what gives the slightly different results from my less technologically advanced method.

You assume correctly.

My script calculates the points according to the specified rules for all completed games and where a game is not completed, estimates scores based on SC count.

Aha! Thanks to thewonderllama I'm holding on!

@dangermouse/wonderllama

Sorry about that - we forgot to unpause and I hadn't logged into that game as it was paused for a while. Have been active in my other games though. The game is now officially drawn, so you can update the records.

Linky to official page? I would like in next season.

Wow... still 6 games going. If I get into the second round, it will be by the skin of my teeth...

Wow, probable 6th or 7th seed to the second round, not too shabby for a first round 50th seed :) ...

If my understand is correct then I think..... a 12 SC second place would allow you to qualify for the 2nd round, where as a 3 way draw would probably mean you miss the cut (unless you had a high seeding pre-tournament).

Btw - any updates on the league standings? They must all be drawing to a close by now.

They've just recently been updated. The most up-to-date information will be on the tournament page at: http://www.llamanation.org/gfdt2008

Somehow General Ireland and I were granted 25.33 points for a 3 way draw from our 1st game... think that should be 11.3 points.

based on the website.

No Braveheart, my numbers at least were a probable total based on the number of supply centres I have in my current game. As far as I know, the white numbers indicate an approximate total for the standings based on the number of supplies you currently control in your ongoing game. As such, I have a "probable" 25.3 points to place me for the second round, as opposed to the definite 11.3 points I currently have before the completion of my other current game. Hope that clears things up!

General_Ireland is correct. Where a game is completed or the player eliminated from it, the player gets the correct number of points based on their position, where a game is not yet complete, the player gets estimated points equal to his or her current number of SCs.

Once both games satisfy the condition of being complete or the player being eliminated, the player's score is final and is turned red.

thanks chaps!

By "thanks chaps" he means "oh look, I've guaranteed victory in my league division no matter what the result in the final game is"

Guess who's coming to dinner then...
