Seriously when will it start? Today? Did it start already and I'm just blind and dumb?

Rankings up.

Just out of curiousity,
how are the points in the rankings calculated?

I understand that because 27 people entered this tournament, the first place gets 27 points and those without a score 0 points. I was just wondering how the point gaps between each position where determined.

I just would like to know, no provocation intended.

For every person that didn't participate, there's a point gap between each player's awarded points starting at the top. So if one person didn't participate, instead of 1st place getting 27 points, and 2nd place getting 26, 2nd place gets 25. And so on from there depending on how many people played. If a very small number of people played, it's possible to go start using 2 point gaps.

Well folks... I haven't had the time to practice as much as I think it's necessary, so I'm quiting the tournament. Wish you all the best of luck, and hope that if another one happens to happen, I'll be able to join in.

Cheers.

Updated rankings.

Rankings updated. A lot of movement this week. Should be an exciting finish.

What's played next? Don't want to rush anything but weren't the last games announced earlier?

We're on break this week.

Shit that makes one more week Ì'm going to miss

Thx for the clarification though!

if it is not too much of a spoiler, could we at least know which system is the next game for?

I ask because I have to fight with roomspace, a neverending struggle - I need to plug and unplug my consoles...

Yeah- I've been slacking off (didn't own the last two games and find myself too lazy to use an emulator consistently), give us some time to get working on it.

Nemo · Post by **Nemo** » Wed Mar 21, 2007 5:29 am

Mega Drive but it's not a common game.

Turrican · Post by **Turrican** » Mon Mar 26, 2007 7:06 pm

Well, at least I can unplug my USA Snes...

Turrican · Post by **Turrican** » Tue Mar 27, 2007 1:13 pm

Uh, guys...?

Either I don't find the new thread or the contest is on hiatus...

Still on the one week break. Try back Monday.

Haha...oops.

I've been a little of with my days lately. Thanks for correcting me. Time to go suck at greylancer too.

The Coop · Post by **The Coop** » Thu Mar 29, 2007 12:43 am

Better get in that practice, man. I set the bar pretty high by only making it to stage 6

Pirate1019 · Post by **Pirate1019** » Thu Mar 29, 2007 2:57 am

Oh you just wait. Next week is Spring Break as well as the final play week for OSM and I sure as hell haven't got any plans.

Nemo · Post by **Nemo** » Tue Apr 03, 2007 3:56 am

New rankings up.

Pirate1019 · Post by **Pirate1019** » Tue Apr 03, 2007 4:18 am

All right. Time to pull out the big guns. This week I'm gonna reach the illustrious benchmark of 10 points.

Turrican · Post by **Turrican** » Tue Apr 03, 2007 5:06 pm

I'm still in the top tier having played two games out of four so far? Whoa.
