Race for the Galaxy League

yes, undisputed champion is Sleeping Giant, but a league is a league and a season is a season, so to see the final league table would be nice.
and i can officially declare the tourney as finished on challonge then.

games not reported? ouch :confounded:
any kind of remembrance about the winners at least?

Prematurely announcing the winner really took the wind out of the sails of the league. That’s why we need league playoffs!

I’ll replay one with @js619 and I’ll send an invite to @milkolate.

Sorry, for winning too quickly :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: I had a lot of free time this summer. Maybe we can do some sort of champions league system? Not sure how to keep it interesting and also open to all. We still have the exciting 3p tourney to finish for now…

Grats to the winners! Well done!

well, i only said what anyone could see at first glance.
and a league should always be played till the end, no matter what.

eg Bayern Munich was defacto soccer champion in german “Bundesliga” 5 matchdays before the end of the league, but games went on, of course.

but generally the idea of playoffs is a good one. like in the NFL and NBA.

Well the intent was definitely to finish the league! js619 and I definitely played a game, and it was looking like OHMEE was no-showing for most of the league.

Was that tournament format the best way that Challonge can manage round robins? As it was a bit of a mess to tell what rounds were remaining to finish.

I’ll play the remaining games, no issues with that. Next time we do a tournament we should make it clear as to who posts the scores - winner vs loser, etc…

my fault to not have emphasized a regulation.
i had just assumed the “as always” most obvious option “winner reports the score” as self-evident. sorry.

In that case, I think I’m safely in the camp of not having to report scores lol

the normal way would have been to complete one matchday before starting the next one.

but i had decided for the “play as you like” way. and that worked astonishingly well. and fast.
out of 240 games only 10 must still be played.
6 of these are games with @milkolate (OHMEE) involved.
my educated guess is that he has gone AWOL.

and the 4 remaining games might have been played but just were not reported.

this is outstanding! stately well done, SP players! kudos to all :bow: (but maybe not to OHMEE).

Yeah, he’s long gone. DQ him and mark them all as losses.

Put me in for a loss. No time and app de-installed

Wow- great game, @Hardco. I eked out a win, 48-47. Screwed up on the last turn - I took settle settle, intending on playing two uplift worlds to take the task and finish the game, which I’d been leading most of the time thanks to the 6 point development that lowers the dev cost and gives 2 points for other 6 pointers…

Last turn and @Hardco chose explore and develop; I ended up with a 6 point dev that gives two points for each gene world. Easy peasy, I’ll play that and boost the worlds I’m about to play. Unfortunately, that development lowered my military by one TO one, making the uplift worlds unplayable and putting the game in jeopardy. Luckily I had a six cost five point alien world I played for the 1 point win. GG!

Edit - haven’t received an invite from @zen4one

Good game! I forgot that you picked double explore, so I thought I was going to eke out a couple point win with the 10 development and the Alien bonus on the last turn. I was confused when I was asked to play a third world! I can’t help but feel like I could have found an extra point that last turn if I planned my discards better…

Sorry - Crazy travel schedule. Will invite today …

What’s your friend code?

No worries - 8MG76XKK

Put me in for a loss. Not playing any games at the moment.

thanks for telling us, Jules :+1:

i have reported your loss vs zen4one.
but i will award you the win in your game vs OHMEE, because he will be disqualified.

@milkolate, you will be disqualified at Sunday, 5th of November.
all pending games will be given to your opponents then.

looks like @zen4one vs @js619 will be the last running game then.
no need to hasten that one.
i will wait for the result patiently and then present the final league table and a season’s end ceremony.

It’s underway now, about halfway complete.
