I am not saying I am right or you are wrong, it has just been my opinion that the best players will end up as the last two in the playoffs. I understand you can get diced pretty badly, but that could happen in game one against the “worst” player in the playoffs playing the “best” player as well.
We can just do seeding if it’s more convenient and no one has an objection. I was just asked how I was planning to do it this year and mentioned how I’ve done it previously.
Seeding by ppg makes imminently more sense.
@Cmdr:
…it has just been my opinion that the best players will end up as the last two in the playoffs.
The problem is that with a random draw, the two best players have a good chance of meeting each other before the final match. This is what seeding attempts to mitigate.
Random will suit us since win% does not accurately tell us who the top rated players are anyway.
Jenn, I have said this multiple times so that you wouldn’t feel criticized.
I am not saying that I disagree with random.
In fact I quite clearly said random is fine because we’re going by win% anyway, so I don’t think our #1 and #2 are necessarily the best players and #7 and #8 are not necessarily the weakest of the 8.
I was merely trying to tell you about seeding because it seemed you were a bit in the dark about its benefits. I will be seeding the other playoffs. You can do the main playoff like you’ve always done - that will be fine.

Speaking of playoffs, coming in about 3 weeks, here is the signup sheet for anyone who would like to play in a league playoff.
Brackets will be no more than 8 players, so no more than 3 games to win (except depending on final numbers a couple players may have a play-in game)
Minimum FOUR league games completed by Nov. 1 is the only requirement for entry. Players of all skill levels welcome.
We already have enough players for 2 additional full brackets of 8. Come join the fun, sign yourself up using the link above.
No e-mail address, password, name, address, annual income, or other personal information required!! No contracts to sign, no spam will come your way in the future. It’s all about good fun and challenge! How far will you advance?
What do I have to do in order to get involved in the league?

So if I read the 2nd Edition Global rules right they say that Mongolia only becomes Pro-Axis if attacked by the USSR.
So if it’s attacked by the UK it just sits there like a fool?

That’s correct. Same goes the other way around. If Germany/Italy attack Japanese territory bordering Mongolia, nothing happens.
is oct 31 the cut off for 2013 games or did it already go by?
@Infrastructure:

Nov. 2nd is last day for 2013 league normal play. Matching’s for playoffs should be posted soon after.
Nov. 3rd is first day for 2014 league normal play.
I will kick all your asses soon. :)
Cow, you are on the cusp
If any of the top 8 by win % don’t show or don’t choose to participate in the playoffs, you will probably be in the top playoff for league champion (watch out for players who are 4-0 or 5-0 finishing a few games and slipping in)
If not, you will be in the #1 alternate playoff, probably in the same bracket as your friend, Bold
Actually, toan6ca is now 6-0. If he finishes 2 more games and doesn’t lose them both, he will be in, and someone else will be out.
Zhukov hasn’t posted anything to A&A.org since March, BUT I saw that he has logged in recently, so don’t count him out.
IF Zhukov is playing in the playoffs (and the other 7 are also) and toan6ca finishes 8 games and goes at least 7-1, Hank or Arathorn might get bumped out?
Couple weeks to go anyway

does anybody play by these rules here on the forum?
I thought it is something new. My bad
I went on a hiatus so I did not punch in a bunch of games.
I know I will have to be in a playoff situation. This I do not mind.
ROLL CALL
OK, the league playoffs are set to begin this weekend, and I’m not sure who all is here and ready to play.
It will help Jennifer and I tremendously if you would now signify that you are here and that you are wanting to play in the playoffs. This is applicable for all who have signed up for the additional playoffs, and to the 8 who qualify for the league playoff for the championship.
Please reply to this thread if you are on the following list. Also, it is not too late to sign up for the additional league playoffs. Reply whether you are playing in the playoffs or not - please reply either way. Thank you -

All above is tentative. League year isn’t completely over, after all. For each player who doesn’t show up or isn’t interested, everyone else below them will move up a slot. I.E. Cow is in the league playoff if any of the top 8 don’t enter.
So I need everyone to respond like this:
<your username=“” here=“”>- I’m in
or
<your username=“” here=“”>- I’ll pass
Or whatever unambiguous words to that effect!</your></your>
