Thank God I got in just in time.

If I'm not mistaken, there are only five days left to join in on this.

Gaaah. Stop reminding me! Lol.

I just can not write these set ups. I'm blocked by myself

Heh, heh.  I've got faith you can pull something out in time.

Believe it or not, I'm still trying to recruit some more folks to enter.

Woah, completely missed the 5 day until submission. But what the heck, I like a challenge. 😁

Thanks again for the heads up DSkillz.

Ability to create a Tournament Match will end November 25!

I'm hoping this means I can submit through the end of the day. I have my second entry just about ready to go.

Nice job getting it in there at the last second. I thought it would have closed today.

[Movie-Brat]

Guess it paid off for me to be early. 

[Fox]

Closed now.  Thanks for all the participation!

Forgot to link it earlier.

There is a three-way tie for first place. Wow.  There's never been any tie before.

The official rules read:

In the event of a tie, the tied players will continue to create matches which will be rated until there is one winner.

So... that seems to be where we are. 

There is no Tournament in December, so there's that.  Thoughts?

Does this free up the contestants that finished outside the top three to vote on the winning matches?

Very interesting ...

Well, if there's a Match-Off (what to call it?) then they can rate stars on those, certainly.

Not a bad idea. I'm open to suggestions on this because I don't have an idea.

That's good. It may actually help in getting a more decisive winner. I think if more people vote on the matches, it's more likely we'll end up with more complex match scores. It's more likely that the winner may be decided by hundredths of a point (or less?), but at least the win will be definite. 

[Fox]

I'm pretty much open to any solution the three find equitable.  If that includes re-opening the previous matches for more ratings by players, that's fine.

The default solution is what's in the rules, so an alternate solution needs to be agreed up by all three.

 

[Movie-Brat]

Who gets third place then?
