It's been known for a while now that something has been curious with st1gmata's movement this season. Many players assumed he was changing certain cvars in-game to gain an agility advantage. Proving this either true or false was not easy. I did take some steps on my servers (updating q2admin) in order to log this behavior, but as it turns out it was an issue with his motherboard that was causing a timescale issue in-game effectively making st1gmata move faster than his opponent ever could. New firmware installed and the issue seems to be resolved.
Was this intentional? I personally like to believe the best in people so I sincerely hope not, but we can never really know.
The crew all agrees that at the absolute least, st1gmata should replay his playoff games. Because every game in his branch of the tree has been a walkover since his first match with IsBjorn, that's not a big deal. I've already adjusted the playoff tree accordingly. Replaying all of his group stage matches is just out of the question as it would totally mess up the rest of the playoffs. Looking at the Division 1a group results, it's not unreasonable that st1gmata would've made it to the playoffs anyway; Myr retired, and Reverence didn't play.
I decided not to kick him out of the league because there is a chance he genuinely didn't do this on purpose. I hear he plays on his work computer (as I do) and it could have been modified by IT staff for his work, etc. We'll probably never know and like I mentioned earlier, I like to believe the best in people.
Should St1gmata decide to withdraw from the league since his gains were ill-gotten (intentionally or not) I would be happy to give detina his spot in the playoffs since he was next in line, assuming detina hasn't gone into hibernation yet. |

Ok, let's try this again.
I've gone through and kicked out the people who needed kicking, looked at every match (finding 2 errors), tweaking points accordingly and basically completely recreated the start of the playoff tree.
My apologies to the players who already started commenting on their matches that changed and especially to the players who already played their matches.
Matches are arranged in an A1324 against B4231 configuration with the home team position occupied by the player with the higher frag count.
Since so many of you want a double elimination playoff, let it be so.
First round deadline is Sunday December 9. That's 2 weeks to get your first match played.

Happy Thanksgiving!
I'm thankful this scene is still alive, albeit rather geriatric, but alive nonetheless! None of you celebrate Thanksgiving, but I thought I would express my gratitude for your effort and energy in this league, I know it can be very difficult with real live always getting in the way....
We're now well past the deadline for the final round in group stage, so it's time to move on to playoffs.
Playoff matches have been created based purely on the points from group stage. The player with more overall frags up to this point gets placed in the home-team position.
If I made any (more) mistakes please let me know as soon as possible.
This time the playoffs are single elimination.
Have fun and good luck! |

Just a reminder that this week is a last round to play your group games that are scheduled or that were not played, forfeited etc.
After that, as soon as Claire fixes playoffs trees, standings wont change and we will move on to playoffs.
Have a good week.

Groups are up.
I waffled over having divisions or just mixing everyone up, but I guess divisions are probably the way to go.
If I under-estimated your prodigious skill, please don't take offense, I'm more familiar with some of you than others.
Feel free to suggest changes if you think people should move around.
Top 4 from each group (except for div 3) move on to playoffs. As of right now, I'm planning on doing single-elimination playoffs, but depending on how well group stage goes, maybe double.
Let's plan on starting Monday, that gives a few days for player movement.
Here's the maplist:

My recent comment on that thread has the spreadsheet I used to calculate these. |
