Elyk25-Tonywuhk

8-2

Also, bobhew32 has denied my challenge again, as well as ignoring a PM while he was online asking him to accept the invitation. I suspect he has no intention of competing in this challenge. Can anyone else in group 2 verify having the same issue?

It seems this setup could be 'gamed'.

I issue a challenge. Someone accepts. They get a string of bad boards. They dont play the last board. Challenge expires. New ball game.

Another devious move. I crush the first two and are convinced they are giant plus boards. I sit out the last few and get 50% on these.

Issuing a new challenge doesnt really help. They can wait it out the same.

Thr only sensible solution is to count boards played in a partial challenge. Unplayed boards get scored as zero.

Of course unplayed boards should be scored as zero, aren't we (we=this challenge tournament) doing this already?
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

There is probably a rule for expired challenges, I am not sure what it is.

From the rule book:
"Unfinished match: In KO stage, whoever responsible loses the match. In group stage, 25%:25% if both are responsible, 0VP:max(60%, 100%-opp's effective matches average) if one player is responsible. Players who fail to finish a match without notifying the public with legitimate reason will be ban from participating next two events."

My opinion as to the last sentence: I think there should be a distinction between missing just one challenge and missing a stage completely.

You/they'd get 0 VP for the match in both cases if the other player played. There's nothing to win by not finishing an accepted challenge.

Or they can turn an unplayed match in as a tie.

Sorry, bad attempt at humor.....

I still think it is wrong that I only get 6-4 from this farce:

Its not Imps man. Didnt look at the boards but your 710 and 480 might have been minus positions.

Still I agree with him. I think all his opponent's unplayed boards should count as .66 or something.

Not sure what they should be worth, but I agree boards that weren't played shouldn't just be counted as 50%.

I played three of my challenges today and resent one that was about to expire. I resent to ye17 and phil. Sorry phil for not being online the last couple days when you already played out a set of boards.

If the rule from the OP applies (see also post #124), xbabarx gets 0 points for it. For xbabarx that would currently make 12 points in 4 matches which is 30 %. If that were the final result, ye17 would get 70 % for this match but the value could go up or down to a minimum of 60 % depending on how successful xbabarx is during the remaining matches.
