@butter. Thanks for your nice reply. Let's see:
1. Parameters. All good. Buy-in it's a bit too low, IMO, I don't like playing against people who got basically nothing to lose, but it's not a big issue.
2. CD's/NMR's. Very good. I think we'll need a Mod cooperation, though, if we want to replace someone who makes his second non-consecutive NMR. Just 2 questions:
Will a game be paused while we find a replacement?
If someone didn't put his orders in without missing the phase, is it considered NMR?
3.Ranking: Sounds good. Tie-breaking doesn't, IMHO, because it sounds confusing and complicated. Also, it doesn't consider ties for eliminated players. You could have a WWIV with 10 surviving players and have to break tie for 25.
My proposal is simple (I believe):
- Eliminated players. Best is last eliminated, considering the year of elimination (no matter Spring or Fall).
- Surviving players. Best is the one with more SCs.
- In any case there's a further tie (same year of elimination or same number of SCs) I believe we should consider something ouside the game in question. It could be "best result in the previous game" and/or anything about the player (Best D-points, Best HoF ranking, lower ID, Best RR.... just choose one). This way ties will be broken without complicated and uncertain calculations.
4. PAUSES/EXTENDS. Ahh Fantastic butter, this is an important point I forgot!
It all sounds perfect, except for "or if it is an emergency situation(Family emergency, etc.)"
I'd dislike to hear stories from people claiming they had some piteous accidents. Also I believe that nobody is that idiot to ask for a pause/ext if he doesn't really need it, but he might have issues telling us his own businnes. So why force him to tell us lies?
You said "No debates.". Perfect. I agree. IMHO, "no debates" means that butterhead decides. Even if you're a competitor in the Tour, I trust your judgement.
Butterhead decides and nobody complains. If it will be so, please consider me in and sign me up.
