2nd Annual NamePros Rock Paper Scissors Championship

[kruwreka]

Hello there fine folks

With the dog days of winter upon us, I feel it would be a great time to bring back the the NamePros Rock Paper Scissors Championship.

Last year, after a false start to the tournament, we had a great turn out and an excellent competition ensued to bring us the first ever NamePros RPS champion Trips No Limit/Phil.



The rules will remain the same:

Each contestant will PM me 15 moves (rock, paper or scissors) for each match.

11 of those moves will be used in the game to determine a winner. The additional 4 moves will be used for sudden death overtime in case of a tie after the initial 11 moves are played out.

Depending on the turnout, we will follow with the same general format. A round robin tourney, best of three playoffs and best of five championship game.

The deadlines are going to be fixed this time around to Monday and Thursday
10pm PST.
---------------------------------


The deadline to register for the game will be Monday, February 23rd at 10pm PST. The first match will occur on Monday, March 2nd. I will post the groups and match schedules somewhere in between.

I will be contacting the original participants in the next day or two via PM to see if they want to return and of course will be accepting new players to the competition.

If you are interested to join and play, please leave a comment in this thread.



On a serious note: This tournament last a while. It took almost two months to finish the first one once it got going. Part of the excellent experience we had last year was, that with the exception of one person who quit after losing the 1st match, all the other players remained and competed hard all the way, even if they didn't have a shot to advance into the playoff, and stuck around to cheer on the those who did.

Please be sure that you can commit to the tournament so that we can have another great competition.


Thank you and good luck

Hi there folks

Having been up all night (who in their right mind has a 4-shot latte at 10pm) contemplating how to run this years tournament I have come to the conclusion that this is the right way to go:

• There will be two groups of ten players.
• You will play each person once
• The deadlines are fixed for Mondays and Thursdays at 10pm PDT of each week
• The four players with the best record in each group will advance to the playoffs
• The format for the playoff will remain the same as last year: Quarterfinals & Semifinals will be a best-of-three, Championship will be a best-of-five
  

The groups are as follows:

How it works:

• Twice a week (Monday & Thursday) I will expect to receive a PM with 15 of your moves in a format similar to this:
  R,R,S,R,S,P.... or Rock, rock, scissors, rock, scissors, paper....​
• I take the first 11 of your moves for that round and match them up with the person you're playing against.
  It will look like this:

  Tivo . . . . . . . P [B]P[/B] S R R P S [B]P[/B] S R R . . . . 2
  -RJ- . . . . . . . [B]S[/B] R [B]R P P S R[/B] R [B]R[/B] R R . . . . [B]7[/B]

• If you're tied after I use your first 11 moves, I will use the remaining 4 moves to break the tie. The first throw to beat the opponent wins the match.
  
  

And there you have it. If you have any questions regarding the format of the tournament or rules feel free to ask and I will do my best to explain.

Now get in front of that mirror, get those fingers flexing, your elbows loose practice your throws and lets play

Deadline for the first round is Monday March 2nd at 10PM PST

[kruwreka]

I was worried a bit with all the server problem taking their toll and one thread stating about losing his sanity. I didn't want the poor man running around the room with both hands up, fingers flailed out, screaming that his octopus beats your ham sandwich any day of the week. Or something like that
