TimmyB Tournament post event points and summary

[Caylin]

First things first, the points will be finalized by the judges (Me, B'Elanna, Foxx and Byron) next saturday, and then posted. Kills of the final week will be posted very soon, but super bonus points will be added, aswell as final kills scrutinized to make sure we give credit to the right ship, so the kill list is subject to minor change.

the way points will be calculated is as follows:

• losing teams in week 6 will be given their week 5 points, minus their bet. after that's calculated, they get any super bonus points they have gained added on.
• winning teams in week 6 will have their bets subtracted from their week 5 total, and all of the points bet by each of the 6 teams will be added together as a pool. then, each kill they gained in week 6 will grant then 1/7 of the points in their match's pool added to their new total. then ofcourse, super bonus points will be granted.

now that that's said, we can move on to the post tournament summary

so, first of, huuuuuuge thank you to all the players who participated, be it in all 6 weeks or only a couple, the tournament couldn't be here without you guys playing, and sticking with us till the end through all the bumps. On behalf of myself and the rest of the organisers, I can only say that we cannot express enough gratitude to you guys for that. thank you so very, very much ^^

thanks also to the various casters who've commentated on the matches, and to the rob & dan show for hosting the stream. They made the tournament epic, and allowed it to not only be an experience to play in, but an experience to watch.

and last but not least, thank's to muse for officially supporting this tournament!


so, as most of you know, this tournament is planned to be repeated in the future, so on saturday, as well as the point announcement, we'll be posting a suggestions thread. here you are welcome to voice all your criticism and ideas of how to improve the fun-factor of the tournament.

hopefully you guys all had fun during the matches, we know there's been alot of organisational errors and a few disputes, but yeah, the matches looked good on our end so we hope they were good on yours.

next time we plan on being much better at this thing, now we've been thrown in the deep end ^^

last but not least, thanks to everyone involved in making this a fitting tribute to Timothy M. Blumer, known to us as TimmyB, who passed away on March 16, 2014

Watch out for Gandhi.

[Skrimskraw]

just watched the replay, its hard to say in game 1 who got the last kill though.

At least you don't say that we tried to suicide ourselves (Phenix) by kissing the mountain. ^_^

I mean I didn't make a screenshot cuz I didn't know that kills per team will matter anyhow, but my team was interested in our kill count, and I did see we've got 3 crew kills + 1 ram kill in the end-game stats window. Unfortunately you only have my word on it (this is why I want the match history in the game :| ).

im not disputing it in any way.

this is a thing where eyewitnessing is the only proof of it. there was a referee in the game, so I trust that is the correct score.

But I just find it to be a problem with the rules, since all we have is a stream that didnt record the kill, because the combat log doesnt show the last kill.
Tbh I havent been too happy about how kills impact the ships signing up, that would mean that it is better to take a killship, as opposed to setting up a team based on helping eachother like I wanted this casual event to be, up untill squid racing that was how our ship flew atleast, taking builds that would help the team win, whereas squid racing and after we started playing a solo game because points.
