BeaIank | 1,682 Events Team · Posted November 8, 2019 Author Share Posted November 8, 2019 OK, this is the moment of truth you all were waiting for. There will be no elimination during the 3 weeks of the tournament. Instead, the players will earn points for their placement at a given round and the player with the most points will win. For the first 2 rounds, the points will be awarded in the following fashion: 1st - 20 2nd - 18 3rd - 16 4th - 14 5th - 10 6th - 8 7th - 6 8th - 5 9th - 4 10th - 3 11th - 2 12th - 1 For the last and final round, there will be more points to be gained: 1st - 45 2nd - 40 3rd - 38 4th - 36 5th - 34 6th - 30 7th - 16 8th - 15 9th - 14 10th - 13 11th - 12 12th - 11 I will post the thread for the first round tomorrow, but the games officially begin on November 10th. Get ready! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearcat-Doug | 5,123 Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 This should be interesting. Doing well in the first two rounds can give a player some room if they aren't good at the final game, but the extra points for the final round should still keep everyone in contention.

BeaIank | 1,682 Events Team · Posted November 8, 2019 Author Share Posted November 8, 2019 Winning the first two rounds gives you leeway to finish 2nd place on the last game if the same player takes 2nd in the first two rounds and then finish 1st. But if the player that won the first two rounds ends 3rd on the last round, he will have 78 points whereas the players that finished 2nd on the first two rounds and won the last will have 81 points. And this is an scenario considering two dominating players. I think we will have a more chaotic placement distribution during those rounds. It will be interesting to see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesRobot | 6,027 Events Team · Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 Bah! Game A or Game B in Excitebike is the real question. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD! GAME A OR GAME B!?!?!?1?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeaIank | 1,682 Events Team · Posted November 8, 2019 Author Share Posted November 8, 2019 Worry about Excite Bike when you are done with Popeye mode B. But of course the evil, mean and harsh rules I will come up for Excite Bike will be played in mode B. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnpoly | 205 Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 This is a format I had always hoped would be tried at some point. Best of luck everyone! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is a lot more balanced than the old format where someone could just make the cutoff in the first two rounds and win the tournament by getting a lucky draw with the final game being something they are great at. I also like that everyone plays the entire tournament so the opposite doesn't happen where you have a top player get eliminated in the first round because they didn't happen to be good at that specific game when they may have had a legitimate shot to win the next two rounds. Good luck everybody! Edited November 8, 2019 by Bearcat-Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Californication | 1,491 Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 (edited) I am confused. i feel like I am missing info. Is it each week we play two games and the first week we start with Popeye mode B then play Excite Bike mode B? And we will get the rules for each game later?
