Treeburst155 Posted March 21, 2002 Share Posted March 21, 2002 The highest tourney score before AARs is: 12.83 The lowest tourney score before AARs is: -8.86 A player would score zero if he was always on the median. Full credit AARs are worth .367 tourney points each. 7 x .367 = 2.569 points for seven full credit AARs The deadline for AARs is NOON on Friday (GMT -6). At that time the rankings will be posted for all three sections. If you are at the top of your section you move on to the Finals. If you have the highest 2nd place score you move on to the finals.

Treeburst155 Posted March 21, 2002 Share Posted March 21, 2002 WineCape, I think maybe you should announce the four finalists before I post the final rankings. It will be more dramatic than a page full of numbers. Besides, you're the tourney sponsor. It's your job I think. Will you be available Friday evening your time? That's when I will be ready. I can inform you of the results before I post them. Treeburst155 out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Capt Posted March 21, 2002 Share Posted March 21, 2002 EEEEEEEE!!!!

Treeburst155 Posted March 21, 2002 Share Posted March 21, 2002 I have determined that the AARs will not affect who the four finalists will be. IOW, I already know for sure who they are. AARs WILL have an effect on various other players' final ranking. Therefore, WineCape, as tourney sponsor will be announcing the four finalists sometime between now and 11 AM (GMT-6) tomorrow morning. After NOON tomorrow (GMT-6) I will post the rankings and scores for all, with and without the AAR points. The AAR deadline is still NOON on Friday (GMT-6) for AARs. And now, lets have a warm round of applause for our tourney sponsor, WineCape, who is approaching the podium with the envelope of finalists in hand......

Holien Posted March 22, 2002 Share Posted March 22, 2002 We can all see who is the clear leader. A worthy opponent who is head and shoulders above us mere mortals. We are not worthy.... We are not worthy... I hope to wreck him but by looking at these results it will be a tough challenge. "Hard Times" ahead. In someways I wish I could drop out as I know the anguish that is yet to come as I have some bloody tough opponents to beat and some beatings to take... (Hmmm I wonder where are my old school books...) Bugger... May the thought of a crate of wine keep my sprits high as my force moral levels are lowered. I will of course be employing JK as my PR advisor when my forces are being battered seven shades of blue. (That is of course if he can keep his I-mac running. ) H [ March 22, 2002, 05:28 AM: Message edited by: Holien ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Capt Posted March 22, 2002 Share Posted March 22, 2002 BUMP THUMP BUMP!! (That is the sound of my head hitting the desk, my ass hitting the floor and my head hitting my ass, as I faint from disbelief) Wow now I get to get creamed publicly!! I officially claim the underdog position and dedicate all my games to the other 20 fellas who coulda had this slot if I had turned left instead of right.

Treeburst155 Posted March 22, 2002 Share Posted March 22, 2002 Yes, Warren is the underdog so I will be rooting for him. Leonard Dicken's play was absolutely phenomenal! I knew he was big on the ladders, but I figured some blind scenarios where he couldn't pick his forces would bring him down. How wrong I was! I'll be studying his AARs when I get a chance. That's for certain. Pixelmaster deserves another Honorable Mention here. All his games were already in progress when he started. He was way behind the average as far as the number of turns completed in each game when he took over. In spite of this he managed to crank out the turns and finish in a timely manner. Thanks, Pixelmaster, for digging me out of that potentially serious jam. On a similar note I'd like to thank MickOZ for filling in for George who was forced out due to Real Life. Just a few more hours and I'll be posting the final rankings. It might be interesting comparing them to the raw totals WineCape listed. Go, Capt, Go!! Treeburst155 out.

Enoch Posted March 22, 2002 Share Posted March 22, 2002 Congratulations to all the finalists, you are truly worthy winners. I look forward to reading about the battles yet to come between some obviously capable opponents. To Holien, Redeker, and Miron: I weep for you. Be prepared for a very tough fight from Leonard. He pretty much wiped the floor with the rest of us poor souls in section 3. Keep us updated as your battles progress! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gredeker Posted March 22, 2002 Share Posted March 22, 2002 Well, I'm honored to have made it this far. Congratulations to all the other tourney particpants - it was fun. I have this sneaking suspicion that it's now a case of out of the frying pan, and into the fire. Fortunately, there's a chance to win some wine to douse the flames... Pssst... Holien and Capt... what do you think of banding together to form the "Leonard Dickens' Axis of Evil"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holien Posted March 22, 2002 Share Posted March 22, 2002 Hmmm I don't think even if we ganged up we would stand much chance. He has a keen eye and a steady hand when playing this game. In the last tourney I played with him in it (T House) I was lucky enough to be in another group and came second in that group. I am just hoping he has had a bad day when we meet up.... Hmmm or maybe a good day.... Either way it shall be fun if not painful... I am sure I will learn some new tricks...

John Kettler Posted March 22, 2002 Share Posted March 22, 2002 The fateful day has arrived at last, bearing tidings far worse than expected--17th in a field of 24, two of whom were short notice replacements! I figured that I was doing far better than that. But my prediction was right, at least. I did significantly better in the more structured environs of RoW, where I didn't have to contend with all that mini/max ahistorical nonsense, than I'm doing in the Invitational, where with three more games to go I'm next to last in terms of score. Holien can hire me for "losing the battle" whining, but his whining about losing (while winning) seems to have been the better approach by far, as borne out by the results. Holien, do you offer correspondence courses? Clearly, you have both the tactical and psyop sides of the game well in hand. Congratulations to all the winners! Wish I were one, too!

Holien Posted March 23, 2002 Share Posted March 23, 2002 JK you have me sussed... And I would dearly love to buy you a beer. As for those results just posted can any statician explain what it means baring the obvious. Which was the stronger section? My guess would be section 1 but can you deduce that information from the stats? H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treeburst155 Posted March 23, 2002 Share Posted March 23, 2002 Here's how the sections stack up when all the AAR points are added in: Section One Redeker.............. 11.109 Miron................ 9.039 Jukka................ 5.129 Sowden.............. 2.749 Johnson.............. 2.170 Moore............... -4.999 Bertram............. -5.250 Pixelmaster......... -8.580 Section Two Holien...............10.959 Svensson............. 4.409 Kingfish............. 4.212 CapDog............... 2.919 Kettler............. 1.049 vonLucke............. .038 Tom .................-1.479 Georges/Mick......... -8.86 Section Three Dickens.............. 15.399 Enoch................. 2.899 Zalewski............. 1.215 Gaspari............... .870 Juha.................. .747 Travisano............ -2.621 Rohde................ -2.661 TabPub............... -3.910 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treeburst155 Posted March 23, 2002 Share Posted March 23, 2002 Here is how players stack up overall, WITHOUT the AARs added in. This is the Nabla equivalent of the results list WineCape posted above (meaning no sections, no AARs). This is the list that will be used to determing what section you are in for the WineCape CMBB tourney should you wish to participate. 1) Dickens............... 12.83 2) Redeker................ 8.54 3) Holien................. 8.39 4) Miron.................. 6.47 5) Jukka.................. 2.56 6) Johnson................ 2.17 7) Kingfish...............2.01 8) Svensson................1.84 9) Gaspari................ 0.87 10) vonLucke.............. 0.38 11) Juha.................. 0.38 12) CapDog................ 0.35 13) Enoch.................. 0.33 14) Zalewski............. -0.07 15) Sowden................ -0.18 16) Kettler................ -1.52 17) Tom................... -2.58 18) TabPub................ -3.91 19) Travisano............. -5.19 20) Rohde.................. -5.23 21) Bertram ................-5.25 22) Moore...................-5.73 23) Pixelmaster............. -8.58 24) Georges_Mick............ -8.86 That's it for now.

CombinedArms Posted March 23, 2002 Share Posted March 23, 2002 Congrats to all four finalists! And watch out for Leonard Dickens! One way to measure the Leonard Dickens effect is that all but one of other six members of Section III (Gaspari w/o AARs) is in the lower half of the list of twenty-four tourney participants, in terms of total scores (i.e. we're ranked 13th or below out of 24). Since otherwise we just played each other in the section and would on average be even relative to the overall tourney performance, our various disasters vs. Leonard "wrecked" our scores to the point of dragging five of the six of us below the tourney norm. This guy is GOOD. [ March 22, 2002, 06:13 PM: Message edited by: CombinedArms ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spanish Bombs Posted March 23, 2002 Share Posted March 23, 2002 Wow, not my best performances obviously, but an experience I would not have missed for the world. A couple of ideas for a new signature: ROW, Section III last place (but barely) ROW - not last place overall! ROW, Section III, I've been wrecked! Seriously, though, I am now anxiously awaiting redemption and demonstrating vast improvement when the first CMBB tourney begins! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treeburst155 Posted March 23, 2002 Share Posted March 23, 2002 Below is the schedule for the finals. Each player will play every other player one time. Each player will play each scenario one time. Each player will have his score compared to every other player one time (playing the same side of a scenario). Warren Miron will play the Germans all three times. This is unavoidable in order to meet the other more important criteria for the schedule. As always, the Allied player is on the left. A Ranger_Challenge Dickens Holien Redeker Miron Der_Berg Redeker Dickens Holien Miron Flag_Rush_Hill Dickens Miron Holien Redeker The two secured scenarios will be sent to the German player to start the game along with his briefings and passwords. At the same time the Allied player will be sent his briefings and passwords. "Flag Rush Hill" will be sent to both players as a "tourney saved" scenario. The German player will need to start the PBEM (default tourney save). Treeburst155 out.

Treeburst155 Posted March 23, 2002 Share Posted March 23, 2002 The Dickens Effect, I like that. I'm sure much can be learned by playing Leonard and studying his AARs. He's definitely the man to beat. It will be interesting to watch the top dogs battle it out in Section One of the CMBB tourney. Then we will get to watch the "lowly" Section Three winner crush the Titan in the finals!!

Bimmer Posted March 23, 2002 Share Posted March 23, 2002 Forgive my ignorance, but have the AARs been posted yet, and if so, where? Yes, I know, there is a certain silliness to asking this question when I didn't submit any, but I'd like to have a look at the experiences of those who did commit theirs to paper (or the electronic equivalent). Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
