ThymePuns and I completed our match: 4x16 boards MP best-hand. The matches were all close, we each won 2. But ThymePuns margins were a little larger.

smerriman and I played 4 x 16 MP boards without the best hand option. I'm afraid I won. Will post the urls later if I can.

EDIT: Can't find the urls using my Android phone.

62.50 % (1st match)
56.25 % (2nd match, best hand)
46.88 % (3rd match)
43.75 % (4th match, best hand),

which means that I won.

Nice match, nullve. Nice format, hrothgar; thanks for putting it together.

Congratulations to nullve.

Thanks to hrothgar for the tournament!

I'm glad that folks enjoyed this.

One thing that I found interesting was how much variance there was between the segments of each round.
I think that trying for relatively long matches helped damp down the noise.

By the way, if we run this again, I'd suggest playing a consistent format between matches.

[barmar]

I agree.
