*bump*

Team E vs Team F, Round 2 -- complete.

Guys, do we have to have a discussion about the progress and direction of this?

Teams B and D have retired.

A vs G: What's happening here?
B vs H
C vs I: A winner is found, but 3rd game needs playing?
D vs J
E vs F: COMPLETE

If people think it really isn't going to happen doing a full round robin, now that 2 teams have forfeited, we have 8 left. would a tournament work? just throwing ideas out because the quicker this gets done the quicker we get a different PvP event. Stagnation of PvP events is always bad because if a new player came along and wanted to join one, the previous one dragging on forever could lead to losing players.

We have sent pms to our opponents and will play when they are free

There are two problems with a tournament. First, it makes all of the matches played up to now meaningless. Second, it's possible for a team to lose to or be countered by a single other team, while they would have dominated all of the other teams and gotten first place.

It looks to me like the best solution is to remove Teams B and D from the event, have Teams H and J play each other this round, have Teams I and G play each other to complete Round 1, then figure out how to do the matchups for the other 5 rounds to have everyone play each other.

Was hoping Naii would play third match for team C, but I could play all team Cs matches if that's what it takes to get matches done + it isn't reprimanded.

Pad broke down, too. Apparently indefinetely, but last 2 matches are saved on my laptop, at least.

Though for matches in general, there's no need to finish them in a particular order as long as card restrictions are sent on advance and all matches get done, yeah? Especially if matches per player were taken more liberally for the sake of speeding up the event.

Sorry about this folks. IRL reared its head and things haven't been good for my activity here. I kept thinking alright, I'll squeeze some time in soon, right after this next deadline... yeah. I haven't been in much contact with DANI, and we haven't said anything officially here, so I'll make the statement: Team B is out.

Best of luck to those remaining.

For scheduling, the simplest solution would just to have all of team B and D's matches count as Byes for the other team and continue with the rounds as normal, that way you don't have to rearrange any of the matches and nobody gains an advantage. If timing is a concern with 1 match per week/round too slow, maybe waive the round timers and say 'do this as soon as you can, matches not held after INSERT_TIME_PERIOD are double losses.'

Looking for someone to run this event.

[Linkcat]

I've found a way to have all matches played in 7 rounds.

Completed/In Progress matches in green.
Teams G and I should play each other to complete Round 1.
For Round 2, instead of Team A playing Team G, Team A should play Team H and team G should play Team J.
The Round 1 D vs I match should be voided.

Before we try to find someone else to run this event
...
The general concensus almost seems to be nobody wants to play

Do any of the teams actually want the event to keep going?
