Game Courier Tournament #3. Vote for which games should be in the third Game Courier tournament.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]I'm glad someone stepped in for me and ran this tournament in my absence. I got too busy with other stuff. Now that I'm back, I'm going to try to avoid taking on more responsibilities than I have the time for, which means not running any contests or tournaments for the foreseeable future. If someone else would like to run the next tournament, it's alright with me.
here are the official results.

congratulations again gary!
about the figures: i have double-checked these numbers. there are several differences between my numbers and david's numbers. i have included all players who properly completed at least one game. this is irrelevant to the final order though because if i included the other three or four as well it would just mean everybody got the same number of extra wins.
at a certain stage in the tournament adrian, greg, jeremy and abdul became inactive players. from that point on, any games between an active player and an inactive player were given as wins to the active player. any games between two inactive players were given as wins to the black player (because white would have timed out first).
Results for the 11 active tournament players. I know that I have an extra win logged here and Michael Schmahl has several unplayed games recorded. Carlos: can you correct these total scores? Just hit [Edit] and copy/paste into your own post, to preserve the formatting here.

cool, but see my earlier comment - some of the games you are counting don't count because people lost on time and then didn't really play any games at all... how do you get yours to stay in nice lines?
Latest results for the 11 active tournament players. Only continuing game is Joe Joyce - David Paulowich. EDIT: columns in this report are achieved by hitting the space bar many times.

updated scores (sorry for the ugly format, got anything better david?): GG 12.5 (12.5) AF 12 (12) CC 9 (9) JJ 8.5 (10.5) DP 8.5 (9.5) MS 7 (8) TT 6.5 (7.5) AA 6 (6) GS 5 (5) Je 5 (6) JG 3 (3) AR 2 (2) UB 2 (2) JR 1 (1) dead-heats: AR beats UB GS beats Je (although Je still has a possible point) third and fourth place still up for grabs.

i've made a table with all the updated results and excluding FD,ST,CP,JL,BB and NF as they didn't complete any games. that leaves 14 players and 13 possible points for each player.
the table won't paste properly into a comment. any ideas? it's just a regular spreadsheet table.
here's the leaderboard though. possible score is in brackets.
GG 11.5 (12.5) AF 11 (12) CC 9 (9) DP 8.5 (9.5) JJ 7.5 (10.5) MS 7 (9) TT 6.5 (8.5) AA 6 (6) GS 5 (5) Je 4 (7) JG 3 (3) UB 2 (3) AR 2 (2) JR 1 (1)
so gary needs at least a half-point from his last game to win the tournament (i think he would win on the countback rules fergus used). antoine could win the tournament if he beats todor and gary loses to michael.
3rd-7th all depend on results from the final round of games too. joe has the third highest possible score at this stage.

Thanks David, I was more interested in all rated games from the group of games deemed 'VINTAGE' in the past 365 days, the results of which are as follows: Name Userid GCR Percent won GCR1 GCR2 je ju jejujeju 1564 1.0/1 = 100.00% 1564 1564 Hans Henriksson hasurami 1548 1.5/2 = 75.00% 1548 1548 darren paull ramalam 1451 0.5/2 = 25.00% 1451 1451 juan rodriguez rodriguez 1435 0.0/1 = 0.00% 1435 1435 ...and was interested because it's the only way my enthusiastic yet not very skillful abilities will ever find the top of any rankings... Thanks.
Tournament games have never been rated. In fact, very few games played here were rated. This Ratings List is calculated from all rated games played in the last 365 days. Players with less than four games were removed.

David, Appreciate the time and effort you put into posting rankings. I think most regulars on this board are somewhat competitive and also like to see the rankings. I'm very pleased to see my team on a board for the first time ever, though the particular end of the board on which we reside wasn't our first choice. Of late, there has been discussion of some of the 'vintage' variants. I've also noticed an acute interest in vintage games that have been rated, as they seem to be more seriously contested. Out of curiosity, is there any way to isolate rated, vintage games played in the last 365 days and see what the rankings are for that? If so, would love to see the results.

I corrected bruck-mschmahl-2008-52-144 and joejoyce-mschmahl-2008-52-143. The other recently added game already had 14 days of sparetime.
Joe Joyce wrote on Mon, Feb 25, 2008 06:00 PM UTC:Carlos, Antoine: the tournament game of Voidrider Chess joejoyce-mschmahl-2008-52-143 apparently started with 14 hours of reserve time, rather than 14 days. Could this please be corrected. Thanks, Joe
carlos wrote [2008-02-01] this is what i was thinking: if the lost players don't confirm an interest within two weeks, they forfeit all their remaining games.
Do we really want someone to come back to this tournament and start playing 10 or 11 opponents? That could take another year.
Nasmichael Farris has a pair of unplayed time forfeits recorded, against myself and Sam Trenholme (who has 'played' only one game here). If these two games were relabled nontournament games, then we could just forget about those two players, instead of going through the messy business of a bunch of forfeits. And the same deal for anyone else who has not made a single move in any game.
I also modified the time settings for adrian-mschmahl-2008-30-525.
antoine, thanks. i noticed that there is another game with the same problem. adrian-mschmahl-2008-30-525
I modified the time settings, but if it doesn't work, I won't be available before Monday (and before I'm getting my new Internet connection, so there's no guarantee).
Great!! Just what I need, an extra motivated Joe Joyce to dismantle me in under 10 moves. Thanks, Carlos. Really. Thanks.
