[Concluded] 2nd Post-Official Team Tournament Extravaganza (Hosted by DDRNGGin and Deadlyx39)

[_Zenith_]

Actually double posting because I just realized something.

This is an elimination round correct?

If that is the case, the usage of these items should NEVER be allowed. Elimination rounds should be raw skill based, not influenced by outside means based.

So there isn't really a benefit to using this one. If you've aaa'd the song, and someone wants to attack - you're saying both players need to have the ' chosen song ' aaa'd so it doesn't actually do anything. Or have you just worded it incorrectly? XD

This seems like it's intended to reverse the effects of an Attack Level One on an AAA.

quick question: do i play all the songs in D6 and all the scores count, or am i sposed to choose one?

[Jpshadsy]

[PhantomPuppy]

also don't people know by now that powerpoints in a tournament is taboo? lol

[DDRNGGin]

Yes, you have to play all of the songs within your division. As far as the songs go, they were RNG'd.

Any chance you can re-roll call of the sea ponies? It has no audio after 11 seconds, it would seem. Rather obnoxious.

Nooo. I like sea ponies! XD the sound seems to work for me. Maybe you need to use a different flash player link thing?

Song works fine for me as well.

I think this needs a small adjustment- attack items should never be allowed. Some sort of bonus that gives a score boost for playing at a disadvantage, or a one-time use score copy would be fine as every team is still playing on their own merits.

As it stands the eliminated team is going to be the team screwed over the most, and that's dumb.

[Illeriia]

Sooo, as said before, it would be really nice if you could update the original tournament post with the new round, so people dont need to scroll through pages and look for the new round post.

[DDRNGGin]

Okay, I have the current overall results up to the first two rounds:

1st: Team SUCC: 110,000 Credits (1st Place in Round 1 and 2nd Place in Round 2 with 19/21 correct answers) - Likely safe from elimination
2nd: Team Egg Salad: 90,000 Credits (3rd Place in Round 1 and 1st place in Round 2. Had all 21 correct answers in Round 2) - Likely safe from eliminatiom
3rd: Team Mostly Downscroll: 50,000 Credits (2nd Place in Round 1, 3rd Place in Round 2. Had 17/21 correct answers in Round 2) - Unknown if safe from elimination
5th Place (Tie): Team 1 and Team 3: 10,000 Credits (Team 1 was 4th in Round 1, but 5th in Round 2 with 2/21 correct answers) (Team 3 had 11/21 correct answers in Round 2) - Higher placement of Team 1 or Team 3 avoids elimination for the higher placed teams.

The only way we get eliminated is if Team 1 and Team 3 tie for first this round- as that's the only way both teams can gain at least 40,000 credits.

SUCC and Egg Salad are 100% safe.

Oh and here's a score- I'm mostly happy with my scores for all songs this round, but the strategy (as everyone seems to have noticed) encourages not posting them until the last minute.. there's also no 5th place team since there's two 4th place teams, so no double steal, woo!

I'm aware this post isn't likely to change anything, but I feel like it's necessary to note that Team Egg Salad and Team 1 are both missing two divisions worth of song submissions for Round 1. With that said, it seems like it would only be fair to drop the two worst scores from every other team, in order to fairly evaluate team performances while including the teams that were missing two submissions each.

If you remove two submissions from every full team (allowing every team to compete with five members), you get these results for Round One:

1. Team Mostly Downscroll (0 Raw Goods)
2. Team SUCC (1 Raw Good)
3. Team 3 (5 Raw Goods)
4. Team Egg Salad (7 Raw Goods)
5. Team 1 (7.6 Raw Goods)

Given that this is a team tournament, I feel that it is only fair that you require the full team to participate, and I consider the above to be a generous concession to the teams that were not able to fully participate.

I don't know how that would impact the rankings after including the results of round two, but it strikes me as preposterous to, in a team tournament, take teams that were missing nearly a third of their required submissions and place them above a team that fulfilled the requirement, without even pausing to identify how that team would've performed without two submissions as well.

You might as well be saying, "If you have a bad score, don't play it! You'll be ranked higher for staying absent!"

[DDRNGGin]

As far as the results of Round 1, the reasoning is because there would be no knowledge of the performance of the players that didn't submit scores. Basically, I had to treat the results of 3 of the teams as if they didn't meet the under 55 Raw Goods requirement. If I did remove the outliers/worst scores from each teams, there would have been a significant skew of the data that would have thrown some people off. Keep in mind that participation of teammates was the main factor of the round 1 results. If Team Mostly Downscroll had a AAA sweep, they would have gotten 1st Place in Round 1, and they were capable of it because the team had 6 of the 7 members who AAA'd their songs. As far as Team 3, they had 31.6 Raw Goods, so it would have been extremely difficult to judge whether they would meet the under 55 Raw Goods objective or not with full participation. As far as Round 2 results, It's solely about solving the puzzles correctly. Team Egg Salad only had 2 members working on the puzzles, and managed all 21 correct answers. Thus, it would have been completely unfair if they were placed lower in Round 2 just because Team SUCC or Team Mostly Downscroll had nearly their entire team participate, despite having less than 21 correct answers.

I feel like there's a misunderstanding here. Team 3 did have full participation and under 55 raw goods. That's my argument entirely.
