Anyone interested in an innovation tournament?
Suggested format: round robin of 4-game matches (base, echoes, echoes+figures, echoes+figures+cities), to keep everybody happy :-)
-
I am not happy, since I don't play echoes and cities.
-
Count me in.
-
Yeah let's do it!
But wouldn't we need matches with odd numbers of games so that there is no chance of a tie? Or do you want to break ties using spread of achievements?
-
It's been awhile since I played, but I'd be interested.
-
Sure. Not sure those formats are a very accurate cross section of what people want to play though.
-
I could do this. Someone gotta nab the last place. ;)

Tie can be incorporated into a success metric without a problem. We can also take the number of games as a metric. The possibilities are endless.
Edit: games --> won games.
-
I would just count ties as... ties. We can always come up with something else if we need a KO stage.
I personally dislike base but I know others feel similarly about efc so having all "historical" combinations was the best compromise I could come up with (playing extensions not in order never made much sense to me).
-
Count me in also please

Sounds good to me. There will be no "weighting" of different game types, correct? A win is a win.
-

As in football (one point) or as in chess (half a point)?
Or do most ties win?
-
As in chess (3 for a win always felt silly to me anyways). I would use number of games won as a tiebreaker, if needed.

I would suggest a 7 round RR with two rounds per week (one round per week seems too slow for me). Play 4 games (base, echoes, e/f, e/f/c), defaulting to standard achievement target (but you can play extra achievement if you both agree). Ranking by number of matches (=4 games) won, with number of games won as tiebreaker.
If no one objects to the format within 24hr, I will create a Challonge bracket with these entries plus whoever posts there before then and send out assignments.
-
Could the entries be accompanied with the time zones or the times when people would be available to play?
I am UTC+1, can play at about 20:00-22:00 UTC normally.

Oh, hum. Does that mean you're not interested in a ninth?
-
Hey the format sounds great, I think I can convince another friend of mine to sign up too, so hopefully you will hear from him today.
-
His acct is MTom by the way
-
Good catch re. time zones. Please PM me your time zones (I will send out PMs asking for that). I will accept entries until I have everybody's info.
-
qdread: MTom doesn't seem to have an account on the forum; can you ask him to register? Thanks.
-
Hey sorry, I am here.
-
I didn't expect *that* many ties :-)
