when you stop laughing at cha's hilarious comment - and if i ever get the tears out of my own eyes lol - is that a confirmation of your place on the EU team ?

Not sure if I have all the complete confirmation list and there are several dozen more yet to confirm but to date the ones that are in for sure for EU as I understand it are:

freudian
ipp147
jackarama
jaffa
mackthefork
melchiades
mjm
stavros2
stoneii
thoth
valenzuela

looking still to hear back from the huge majority of the 30+ signed up initially. Game is available on the private sub-tab of Tourney tab - cha and I are already in and I swear that's a nervous look I see [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

as DrPhysic rightly says it's a weighted scoring system which fairly accounts for any difference in team numbers.

Just like to add that EVERY member of each team scores points toward the overall total team score, right down to last place in the tournie.

In terms of numbers, last time (EU v NA III) we had 64 players, which we're hoping to beat to at least 75-100 this time out!!

Fancy playing ?

Sign up and enjoy [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

3:00 AM SEPT 24.

We just realized I made the tournament limit holdem. I will fix it, but I cannot do so if anyone is registered.

When registration is open, we will announce it.

Thanks for your help.

Doc is working on it. The game was initially acidentally set up as a limit game. The real game will be no limit.

There will be an announcement when the correct game is set up.

Here is the updated North American team list:

BLUEFEET
CHA59
DR. JEKYL
DR.PHYSIC
EXITONLY
FIERY JUSTICE
GUMPZILLA
IHATEKEITHSMART
JBROCHU
PERCUSSION
R2P
RDUKE55
SNG-SAM
SUPERSETOY
THE_JOKER
TORO
TSHORT
USCSIGMA1097
WES MANTOOTH
WIGGS73

This is a good start, and I'm quite sure it's more than we'll need to pwn Europe, but lets make this the best team we possibly can.

Anyone else who's interested in playing for NA, contact cha59 by PM.

The scoring is based on Mike Haven's "Weighted scoring system for 2 uneven teams." It gives credit for participation and for placement (although it favors placing highly). The scoring is balanced so that a team of 10 players has an equal chance against a team of 20 players. The complete scoring system will be published before the tournament.

It would be good to see this ASAP so we can work out an optimal chip dumping scheme.

just thought I'd introduce one of EU's snipers - can take out the eye of a newt from 4.2 miles [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

we have phys, bluefeet, and gump. Even if the rest of us are no-shows, this should still be a slaughter [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/ooo.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
