Gentlemen... Start your engines!
We have 74 players signed up which would normally mean we'd have 10 duels (20 active players) in the first round and 54 byes. I've decided that in order to minimize idle players who would otherwise have a bye that we will fight two adjacent elimination rounds simultaneously this tournament.
First a word of explination. I first marked the top slot in each elimination round 1 bracket to be filled. Since there are eight quarter-finalists, I randomly generated an even number between 2-16 to determin which additional slots would be filled in round 1 stemming from each quarter-final root. I then generated another number between 1-64 to add another slot on each side of the bracket, discounting and regenerating the number if it lead to the same elimination round 4 root as one of the already determined round 1 duels. Once this was done I randomly drew names and filled the pre-selected slots in order, advancing those with a bye.
This means that we will only have about 10 byes in each of the first two weeks, but, because the round 1 duels were evenly disbursed throughout the bracket, anyone getting to the quarter-final will have had at least one bye somewhere along the way. The exception are those with round 1 duels who would have to fight through without a bye.
So, once again, the rules:
- Brackets will be determined by random draw of names out of a hat (or other convenient container).
- If there are odd numbers of players I will work them into the brackets although they may have to fly more or less rounds than other players. They will be chosen randomly.
- Duels must be arranged between the players by PM, IM, e-mail or other means to take place by midnight CDT Sunday following each bracket update (6 days).
- Duels will be best of three.
- First duel plane selection will be assigned using a random number generator to select from all availble fighter and fighter/attack aircraft (except the Me163 and Me262). This will be done individually for each set of duelers.
- The loser of each duel selects the aircraft for the next duel. This allows the loser to pick his/her best aircraft to get back into contention and if it goes three rounds each player will have had one plane selection.
- All duels will take place in the DA canyon area.
- All duels will be 25% fuel loadout with players choice of gun package and convergence.
- All merges will be guns cold (no firing until you have passed your opponent's 3/9 line).
- All merges will be co-alt at 10K until within icon range at which point a merge break can begin. In addition all players shall observe a 10K cieling at all times prior to the merge.
- Anything goes after the initial merge.
- In the case of a draw (both run out of fuel for instance) that duel will be re-fought using the same aircraft.
- In the case of a collision:
* If only one player collides (only one gets the collision message) the duel continues.
* If both players collide (both get the collision message) the duel immediately ends and will be re-started in the same planes.
- Intentionally ditching or bailing constitutes forfieture of the duel.
- The intent is for players to remain in close proximity to one another (2-3K max). That said if at any time the players lose icon range on one another the duel ends immediately and will be re-started using the same planes. This should allow a dueler to simply turn away from a runner to nullify the duel.
- If an uninvited third party interrupts the duel the duel is immediately ended and will be re-started using the same plane. The dueling participants may move to another mutually agreed upon set of fields in the DA in this instance.
- Once one player has been shot down and the other recieves a kill message the duel ends. There is no need to land.
- If a player disco's the duel will be re-fought in the same planes as soon as the discoing player re-logs. If he does not or is unable to re-log within 15 minutes he will lose the duel series by default. A second and any subsequent discos by the same player in a duel series will result in a loss of the duel in which the player disco'd.
- Both players will film all duels in case of a dispute.
- Films must be posted by the winning player for all duels from the quarter final round forward for the viewing pleasure of the community. Films may be posted during earlier rounds if both participants agree.
- The losing player will post in this thread after the duel series in the following format:
Plane - Winner
Plane - Winner
Plane - Winner (if needed)
The loser posting is a means to verify that the results are uncontested. If the loser hasn't posted by the deadline then the winner may post the results but they will be deemed contested.
- This information must be posted by no later than 12:00 midnight Central Daylight Time Sunday following the posting of the updated bracket so that I can get the brackets updated and re-posted on Monday.
- If a player does not show within 15 minutes of the arranged time they forfiet the series. In that case the winner by default must post a screenshot of the DA roster showing that the opponent is a no show no later than 12:00 midnight CDT Sunday following posting of the updated bracket.
- If a duel cannot be arranged between two players each player will have a chance to post the circumstances in this thread prior to the posting deadline. If only one player posts and it is clear that they are making an attempt to arrange their duel then that player will advance. If both players post and it is clear that the issue lies with only one player then the player not at fault will advance. If it is unclear which player is at fault, or if neither player posts, then a random draw will determine which player advances.
- In the case of contested results both players films will be reviewed by the review committee and a determination will be posted no later than 48 hours after the initial posting deadline. The review committee may overturn posted results. If a clean determination of a winner cannot be made a winner will be selected by random draw. The review committee's determination will be final. Because this will delay both the winner's and his/her next opponent's ability to arrange their next duel it is in the best interest of everyone that the players reach an agreeable conclusion to their duels on their own. In any case, then next duels deadlines WILL NOT be delayed.
- The initial bracket will be posted on Monday, October 5 and each Monday thereafter until a winner has been determined.

Since batfink didn't reply with his friend Rud3boi's BBs name I suggest you PM mechanic (batfinkv) to arrange this duel if you've drawn him.
And finally the bracket (note: photobucket won't let me upload an image greater than 1024 in any dimension so I had to split the bracket into two images to make it legible. Hopefully it doesn't look to "hinkey".) As always, your first duel assigned plane is posted in red in the center of your bracket.

The loser post to make it final. The winner can post but it comes with contrevorsey, and if the loser decides to post somthing then it has to be reviewd by the review commitee

No. I'd like them to happen the week they are scheduled. That way if we have unusual circumstances later on we have some wiggle room.
Remember: The loser has to post to verify the results. If they don't then the result is deemed disputed and the review committee will have to review the films to verify the win.

Why does STEVE get 2 byes?

For the same reason eight others do... random selection. :)
If I didn't already know the answer the real question would be why don't I get any byes and why didn't I get an easier opponent?

Just wondering any1 been in contact with JC seems he hasnt logged in this month would just like a heads up on whats going on :salute

He flies in the DA all the time.

Not much, he's a pretty cheap bribe ;)

Bones,
You missed him last night by about 20 minutes. He usually flies in the DA around 9PM CDT nightly. I did advise him that he needed to get in touch with you. I am sure he will tonight.

If you're in a bracket with a plane assigned (which you are) then you are supposed to duel this week. We are fighting two rounds at the same time so elimination rounds one and two are dueling this week.
The earlier question was if you were scheduled for a round two duel can you take two weeks to get it in. That answer was no.
Round-1 P38J winner Viper10
Round-2 Yak9T winner Viper10

The loser has to post for the results to be official. Otherwise the films have to be reviewed by the review committee.

Ok thanks for clearing that up. I just assumed that round 2 was intended to be in week 2 and you were just trying to get ahead of the game with plane assignements.
Sorry for any confusion I may have caused. :o

Did you go tail first? That's how I usually auger that crappy plane.
-
If I've counted right we have 22 duels left to get in over the next 3 1/2 days. If you haven't arranged your duel yet it's time to get it set up.
-

No, I made sure to try and avoid that stall. Mensa nipped my elevator while nose down. I probably could have recovered but felt putting her into the canyon wall more appropriate.

Judging by the below quote, you are to have your duel this week even though it is in round 2. I was also confused by this.
If you're in a bracket with a plane assigned (which you are) then you are supposed to duel this week. We are fighting two rounds at the same time so elimination rounds one and two are dueling this week.
btw boomerlu and I are still working on arranging our time.

Two IMPORTANT notes:
If you are in a bracket, regardless of what round it's in, and have a plane assignment you are supposed to duel the week the bracket is posted with the plane assignment.
The loser needs to post to confirm the results and needs to do so in the fiollowing format:
Plane - winner
Plane - winner
Plane - winner (if needed)
This allows me to verify that the initial duel was in the assigned plane.
If only the winner posts then the review committe will have to review the film and their determination will be final.
While these aren't huge deals lets stick with the rules. It's not that hard.

Just so you know, I did some research when I saw I was fighting you, so I made a little voodoo doll of you and set it in front of the my computer with the CH website up all day to put a little urge in you to change sticks. It helps to be prepared. :D

I love it so far... The precision is SOOO much better than the X52.
Only problem is I flew X45 for abt 3-4 yrs, then the X52 for a year or so.. with the buttom mappings being near identical on them both (locations)
The CH is a lot different layout and I find myself fumbling for flaps,views, wep, etc with it for now. I am sure when I get my "muscle memory" attuned to this stick I will be even more happy with it!

What Jerkins didn't say was that he was having big problems with his joystick. After he told me, I went back and looked at the films and could see that this was true. What do we do in a case like this? Sol had a similiar problem.

No, I made sure to try and avoid that stall. Mensa nipped my elevator while nose down. I probably could have recovered but felt putting her into the canyon wall more appropriate.
In true 80th form and style, of course.

What Jerkins didn't say was that he was having big problems with his joystick. After he told me, I went back and looked at the films and could see that this was true. What do we do in a case like this? Sol had a similiar problem.
It's up to each player to make sure that thier computer and equipment are in working order before their duels. I had some minor js issues in the first tourney as well but it would be a mistake to open a loophole where everyone who loses claims they had a js or computer issue so they can duel again.
MjSmoke and I are going to duel monday nite @ 9 EST :joystick:
I will allow this although it puts an extra onus on the winner of your duels next opponent by taking an extra day away from them in the next round. It also puts an extra onus on me to have to assign a plane and post it outside of the normal bracket update. In the future please clear these with me. I'm willing to work with special circumstances but don't want this to become a habit.
36 1/2 hours till this weeks duels end and 14 to go. Guess everyone's waiting until the final moment?
-
yeah rgr BE. It seems mine and Mjs schedules are conflicting. All my free time is on the weekends and his is during the week

As one of the folks who had joystick "trouble" (mine is fat finger fumbling for flaps due to a new stick, not a true "problem").. I agree wholeheartedly with Bald here. just because I chose this time to replace my stick, is no reason I should get any "special" favors of being permitted extra time,. or an extra seed, or whatnot. I in theory could have hooked my X52 back up, but I did not want to...I want to learn the CH. To open that door as an excuse would be completely against the spirit of this tournament. Real pilots have equipment failures, which can cost them much more than it costs us here. Loosing a duel to an equip failure, or failure to USE equip properly is a small price to pay. Plus there is always the next bracket!

I had same problems last tournament when i fought Assi, I figured why slow the tournament for everyone else just so I could get a new stick without knowing when it was coming. Seems we should go with "the greater good" in this situation :salute
:joystick:
It wouldnt have mattered. TJ would have slapped you with his crustless PBJ while watching a movie like he did to me. :D
-
I understand and agree with what you guys are saying. It would open an enormous can of worms. I just hate winning like that especially after going back and putting 2 and 2 together after looking at the films and seeing the problem.
Anyway, it looks like I need to sabotage JB11's or Strokes' or Gorkle's or Dadrabbit's stick now. :D

About 15 hours to the cutoff. Here's who still needs to duel:
Steve
Ki-61-I-KAIc
texstc
Cobra516
F4U-4
Kazan
Strip
Spitfire Mk XVI
Agent360
SF
Bf 110G-2
shiv
SkyRock
Spitfire Mk XIV
ForkTail
JRjolly
C.205
akELFY
RufLeak
Ki-61-I-KAIc
Mike254
Sandwich
P-40E
zig50
Will this be the first time in the short history of this event that we see people advance by random draw?
-
cobra516 last active September 28, 2009
where are you Cobra?

The problem with letting "folks in who don't read the BBS" is one of the reasons, I've strayed from this. I may join the 3rd one, but I'd be pissed off if I took time out of my day/night and the other person didn't have that same commitment.
As far as I know Texas has tried to make contact with Steve, so IMO, that shouldn't be "random".

Agreed, that leaves potential for someone to advance several rounds simply by not showing up. Another example, Strip looks like he has made some attempts to find Agent360.
-
Agent 360 has been in the DA almost every night this week.
-
I was going along with what Karaya was saying. How is Strip to know he is in the DA every night?

Agent360 and BaldEgl:
As much as I hate to do this I think I should forfeit my round to Agent360. Its Sunday and I have no time to sit down to duel him. Also it looks like I will be moving into a new place this week and will likely not have internet for a week or two. Thankfully I will be ready for the scenario in time...
<S> Sorry...this moving thing was a bit short notice but a great opportunity arose.
Strip

Dang <S> strip

From the rules in the first post of this thread:
- If a duel cannot be arranged between two players each player will have a chance to post the circumstances in this thread prior to the posting deadline. If only one player posts and it is clear that they are making an attempt to arrange their duel then that player will advance. If both players post and it is clear that the issue lies with only one player then the player not at fault will advance. If it is unclear which player is at fault, or if neither player posts, then a random draw will determine which player advances.
-
I did not find out the bracket started until thursday night. I was following the sign up thread. Once I discoverd it had started I tied to find the current thread (this one). For some reason all I saw was a blank roster sheet. A search only turned up the old bracket. Finally INK sent me a direct link.
Anyway, it wasn't until friday morning I found the correct thread. THat is why there was no response from me to his posts on this thread.
Strip pm'd me friday and I didn't get that until Friday night. I replied.
I am usually on after 10 pm most nights.
I logged on yesterday early at atround 5 pm. Played until late.
It is 5pm CST now. I am going to log on for a while. I will be on later tonight as well.
Strip said he could do it Sunday (today) before noon or late "after some of the games"...I dont know what time that is.
I will be on tonight as well.
-
I was going along with what Karaya was saying. How is Strip to know he is in the DA every night?
He could go there and look for one thing. And second he can PM me (.p) and see if I am online like I have been doing every hour to him the last two days.
I am sorry I missed the start by not finding the correct thread in time.
I would like to point out there is NO LINK posted in the sign up thread indicating the tourney had started.

I will be online early for a few hours...then later after 9 or 10pm CST
-
I can vouch for Agent that he did not know about this until Thursday b/c I was getting ready to duel him when WMsol showed up and I broke away with Agent and explained what was going on. He expressed surprise that the tournament was on.
-
I can't seem to get hooked up with Grape....we made a time for Friday at 9:00pm CST but I think he overslept...tried last night to no avail...and I have sent him a pm or two for today...

Ill look for steve tonight. I wasnt on till after midnight CT last night. He didnt respond friday. We ll get it done Im sure.

If you are online .f <gameid> will show if they are online and which arena
and then as Agent said .p <gameid> and you can speak between arenas
-
Raptor,
I wasn't pointing out that Strip should have known that Agent was in the DA, only that it would be a good place to look for him. My only point was that he hasn't been hard to find except that apparently he and Strip have just had bad luck being online at the same time I guess.
Changeup
-
I cant get a hold of zig50.
What happens if you are unable to contact them?
-
For chrissakes, I'll step up and duel somebody instead of "eliminating a round/contest/duel/etc". I suck anyways, so whoever I draw, would win most likely.
EDIT: I'll participate in the 3rd one. Not fair as this has already begun.
-
Gents,
This in no way has anything to do with Agent and us not being able to find a time to duel. Sorry if it came across that way, Agent pm'ed me to say when he would be on, where to find him,. I was hoping to get on tonight and duke it out with him but things came up. Even if I did pass on to the next round I will likely not have internet for a week or two until it gets hooked up. Personally I would rather bow out and let someone who can make the best use and fun of this event. I am also well aware of the .f agent360 command and how to communicate between arenas.
To be clear: This has nothing to do with Agent360 and should not reflect poorly on him. I would have thoroughly enjoyed our fights win or lose, much like in the past.
<S> Agent360....sorry if you got some heat over some of this, it was certainly undeserved.
Strip

Bah, no offense taken Strip. I just looked at some good sticks still left to go and "had to do a double take".

Let SkyRock move on up, I was busy with real life garbage all day today. :bolt:

I’ll duel Karaya in lieu of Mike254, if BaldEagl permits.

It seems we had a bit of a shakey first week. Hopefully things will get better this week.
First of all, we've had a few in-game name changes. They are:
In-Game - Was - BBs
DBCooper - uptown - uptown
snuggie - caldera - caldera
Spektor - viper10 - ACE
We had seven duels that did not take place.
ForkTail, Jrjolly and Strip all forfeit their duels due to various reasons. This allowed Agent360, akELFY, and SkyRock to advance.
Kazan, RufLeak, Sandwich and texastc posted in this thread, making an obvious attempt to set-up their duels while their opponents (Cobra516, Mike254, Steve and zig50) did not, so they advance according to the rules (refer to the first post on page one of this thread).
Relative to unfought duels, this was the worst week in the short history of this event. At least we didn't have to resort to a random draw (which would have been a first) to resolve a duel.
I allowed jerkins and Sunbatt to duel a week early for this round as Sunbatt was going to be out of town part of this week. In a case such as this it's not only my decision but also that of the opposing player as I want everyone to have the time they need and not to feel any pressure to rush to get something in. jerkins graciously accepted in this case.
Once this happened I was asked by another if I would let them duel early. While I'm willing to work with special circumstances I don't want to keep assigning planes and updating the bracket every day. Add to that the additional confusion when I'm already trying to track who didn't duel, who posted trying to arrange their duels, who didn't post, who's not posting results correctly, who didn't read the rules so I have to reiterate them, etc., etc., etc...
Please limit your requests to "special" circumstances.
The following players have byes this week. Everyone else fights:
batfinkv
Bosco
DadRabit
DrBone
JunkyII
Qrsu
Spektor
texstc
Tongs
Will all of that said, Congratulations to those who advanced to the next round. We (I say that figuratively since I'm once again eliminated in round 1) are once more fighting two rounds simultaneously (Elimination rounds 2 and 3). Here's the updated bracket and good luck to all in the next round:

Yes, that's a mistake.
There is no fight between boozeman and Kil02 this week. The actual duel is between Zap and Kil02. Boozeman get's a bye this week and a new plane will be assigned to the boozeman vs winner of the Zap/Kil02 duels next week.
I will fix this for the next bracket update.
Thanks for pointing that out. I was looking at the bracket this morning wondering why there was no bye stemming from that quater-final root but didn't catch my mistake. Thanks again.

I missed the cutoff? Dang. Sorry was busy. Good luck Tex. :)

Uptown? When are ya free? I'm probably the more flexible one in terms of timing so let me know by PM.

I think the updated bracket is on page 7 or something?
Point is, it'll just be easier if there was a single location where players can go to see against whom and what they will be flying. I know I wouldnt want to scroll through what will end up being a 30+ page thread.

I've tried that in the past and even after deleting the file from photobucket and re-uploading it still links to the original (supposedly deleted) file. It's happened to me on several occasions and I've always had to re-upload the file and let photobucket assign a new IMG link.

Back a few months ago I would be all over this. Now I just play the game for what it is. I somewhat enjoy being killed by a group of guys instead of just one. It's an odd thing actually; it's like I don't really want to get "better." I just want to play!

Evidently neither can I but it's fun to try and I think I'll keep trying until I do.
The random player match-ups for the first rounds and the random plane selections for the first duels really open it up IMO.

Work permitting, i'll be signing up for the next one Banshee, so ya might as well keep on trying matey.

I think I might have the hardest bracket.....even if i get through it I face probably batfink who came in second last tourney but it really doesnt matter because if I can hang with him for awhile Im sure I can hang w/ acouple of average sticks at the same time and maybe win :salute

I can tell you that I won't run multiple rounds simultaneously again in the future. It's too difficult and confusing on my end when dealing with the bracket, looking for unfought duels, scanning so I can update winners, etc. Fortunately, that's about to end as all the competitors catch up and get ready to duel to see who makes the quater-finals. In fact, we wouldn't have multiple rounds going this week if not for this next situation:
There were two duels which didn't happen this week. They were:
Deviant
Hurricane Mk I
Manurin
Rud3boi
N1K2-J
SkyRock
All four players posted at some point during the week in this thread. By rule, a random draw should be held to determin who advances in each of these brackets. Instead I am going to allow a 48 hour extension on each of these match-ups before drawing a name at random. You have until midnight Tuesday, October 20 to get these duels in. As soon as these duels are completed or a name is drawn at random I will post the plane for the next match-up which will need to be completed by midnight Sunday, October 25. This means that Tongs and Qrsu will have short weeks to arrange their duels. Let's try to keep on schedule in the future.
Related to this, I've seen a rash of posts being made on Sunday's over the past two weeks to try to arrange duels. I'm sure people want to get their post in so they can avoid a random draw and advance. If your not trying to arrange your duel before Sunday afternoon it's probably not going to happen. This has me considering a change to the rules, either modifying or eliminating the "advance by posting" section. There's no change as of now. We'll see how this week goes.
In roster news, Rud3boi is hgtonyvi on the BBs.
This weeks byes go to:
4Fox
akELFY
B4Buster
boomerlu
RufLeak
Sunbatt
And the new bracket looks like this:

Sorry for that BaldEagl, we are about to find a slot to duel, not an easy task considering we have a 8 hour time zone difference.
I'm still waiting a confirmation from Deviant, and we should be good to go in a couple of hours.
Thank you to give us a little time extension :salute

One duel unfought this week. That's better than last week but of course there were only half as many duels taking place.
I know mensa and Junky have been trying to arrange their duel and saw Junky's last post but I'm not willing to delay this by 72 hours. You've already had 168 hours to get this in. I will allow 48 hours to complete this duel, otherwise, based on the following post mensa will advance:

You have until midnight Tuesday. I will post the plane assignment for the duel with 4Fox as soon as there's a conclusion to this duel series.

I dont like it! the pressure of losing in a plane i am supposed to know well. Those 20mm are savage maybe we could agree on dumping 20mm and duking it out 303s only in mossies. Could make it more interesting, what do you rekon?

Sounds like fun, I'll be up for that! <S>

Haha, if the fights had turned out like we had expected to at first, the results would have been reversed. On the 109 fight, I thought "No way in hell I'm winning this... I'm blacked out... radiator hit... he's on my six... oh wait.. BOOM." :O :O :lol

I couldn't find who posted it but I also thought it is very important that the semi final and final fights be best of 5 fights or best of 7 fights. Maybe the semifinal best of 5 and the final best of 7. Baldeagl, it's important because when top pilots duel, fights turn into mind games where strategies and counter strategies are planned before duels based on previous encounters, and 3 duels imo, is a crapshoot in determining the better pilot on that day. Personally, I'd make all the fights best of 5 matchups and the final would be best of 7. A request for future implementation. :salute

Take it from the beginning. As a poster child for not-top-pilots, everyone could use more fights.

I won't make a change for this tournament as the rules are the rules everyone signed up for. I will consider it for the future but have resisted similar ideas in the past as it lessens the "any given Sunday" effect of limiting it to best of three. Saying that I will reconsider but make no promises.
-
Best of 5 might negate an "advantage" one player might have with being much more familiar with the initial plane.

Thats the only reason I beat TC actually. I knew going into it that the only chance I had of winning would be to win the first round in doras. If I didnt win it would have been me picking a KI84 second round and him finshing me off with a Hog in the last round. Im all for 5+ rounds in every fight getting up to say 9 to 11 fights for the championship :devil :salute

I was inferring for future events. Especially the finals. Imo it is crucial that the finals be extended to best of 5 or 7.

I don't mind so much if the earlier rounds are best of 3 - "Any given Sunday" is fine for early rounds. The semis and finals though should be longer. By the end, I think most pilots would prefer the more skilled flyer wins, and having a longer series means the better pilot is more likely to win.

I disagree guys, if it make any difference.
Three rounds is more than enough for the final (i lost the last one 2-1 so I am not biased). The point is to bring your A game right away, just my opinion.

how I enjoyed our fights truely so, JunkyII, I got to remind you and even those who flew in the last SATKoth.....
I am flying wounded, right damaged shoulder, arm and nerves/nerve endings that is getting worse.......( left hand typing strongly benefiting though ).....
I posted a hint of it when I initially signed up for this tourney..... and after debating whether to withdraw from it or not, I did not want to give you 2 byes in a row....... how ever much pain it put me in..... the fights were memoriable and fun
edited to stand out: but I am with BaldEagl regarding the any given sunday, best of 3...... as was asked for, dismissed and reconciled in the first Tourney.....
especially after trying my butt off try to win 2 rounds to qualify for the KOTH TOC coming up soon.......
last Sat Night ( Evil Mission Con Night ), I actually went and won my 1st round of the entire year.......now all I got to do is try next few KOTH events and try and win at least 2....... God willing.....
I wish you all the best of luck in making it to the quarter/smi/and final rounds :salute
edit again: JunkyII won our match up straight up, and I do not want to imply that I am using an excuse of being injured for the reason I lost, he beat me fair and square :salute

Well TC, if it makes you feel any better I fought Tec with a case of tennis elbow. I'm not sure if any of you have ever had it but it's an inflamation or tear of the tendons that hold your forearm muscle to the outside of your elbow. Anything that has anything to do with that muscle hurts like h@ll... lifting, using your wrist, gripping with your fingers, pulling with that arm, etc. Of course I have a twisty stick and twisting my wrist during our duels was not a good thing.
I'm not blaming the loss on it. Tec beat me straight up. My adrenaline was pumping and I hardly noticed it at the time but it did set back my recovery. In fact it seems I do something almost every week that sets back my recovery. It's too hard not to want to use your dominant hand/arm, plus, sometimes you just need two. It's been 8-10 weeks now and I can actually lift a coffee pot or a pitcher with that arm again but only once or twice per day.
Anyway I'm about 80% again and hope to get back into the game soon. I visited the doctor after 4-6 weeks and she said about the only thing I could do was baby my arm so I've been laying low partly because of this.

Sounds like HTC needs to invest in some trainers. I'm talking real trainers, to help its virtual pilots on the recovery process from injuries and get them back up in the skies as quickly as possible!

Nope. The next sign-up period will be sometime in January after the holiday's are behind us although I haven't determined a firm date yet. Probably sometime during the second half of the month.

We have an unfought duel again this week. It is:
SkyRock
Spitfire Mk V
Mazz
To be consistant I will grant a 48 hour extension.
I'm seriously considering a rule addition for the next tournament whereby if a player get's a bye (either by post or by random draw due to scheduling difficulties) or is involved in an unfought duel requiring an extension, that a second infraction results in the elimination of that player. I'll have to check that a little closer but it seems I may need a mechanism to eject players who habitually hold up the proceedings. Regardless, the rules for this tournamamet remain as they are.
Congratulations to the seven players who made the quarter-finals. Don't forget, from this point forward all of your duels have to be filmed and posted in this thread.
Here's the updated bracket:

Sorry BE. My schedule has been hectic and Mark has been sick.
We're scheduled for 7PM-ish, Eastern tonight and will post results thereafter.

BE, I seem to be the unlucky cat this bracket....sorry is all I can say, I sincerely have made aggressive attempts at getting the duels done during the week every round....somehow, it just hasn't been happening..... hell, I've never had this much trouble setting duels up.... Mazz is on busy schedule this week, and the one night he wasn't, I was knocked out sick with the FLu(wednesday night)....we are set to duel tonight at 7 ish.
I understand your frustration, and again, apologize for being in the same situation yet again.

Actually, I’m not. I didn’t know who would win. Not because I thought SkyRock would loose because he is not a good stick (we all know he is very good), it’s because I’ve fought ZAP before and could tell that he is good. When you throw “any given Sunday” into the mix, it is really not that surprising that it turned out the way it did. The same can be said for every one of the fights from now to end of the finals.

Zappy, that was the one where I raked you from nose to tail on a mini-rope and nothing...I think the lag was already started...when we got down in the canyon I was seeing warping....I even had a front 1/4 down there too that could have been legit, but homey don't play that...you worked to hard to get hosed on a 6degree deflection...lolz....then comp freeze...
To sum it up, I will post what I posted to my squaddies....which was a self assessment and somewhat biased...lolz...but I thought I hit it pretty spot on! Hope it doesn't take away from Zap...he really flew darn near flawlessly! its a compilation of 2 or 3 posts about the fights...
"Just wasnt my night bud..... beat him 51b's, had him beat in 38g's, ended up playing to conservative when I should have been aggressive..... shot the twittle out of him in hog-1s, but was laggy, and eventually ended up freezing comp....then I came back and played initial merge wrong on redo and augered in the scissors..
he was merging real good, beating me out on every one...but I was reversing it pretty good, and got position on him
.. but I just didn't fly aggressive enough when I needed to, plain and simple.... kinda had it in the bag...then let a crack open and he took it...
.... usually, that would've been over in that 38g round.... but that is why I like the tourney aspect...any given sunday... last night was Zap's sunday.... he fought like a winner, and moves on as one. he beat me on every merge as far as getting the E/alt adv....he called it your merge, Del....looked like Rat's old merge, nonetheless, he flew it very well, I just wasn't being aggressive with it....
I got him on reversals but just couldn't finish him....partly rust.....partly he flew his sack off!
I like him, he's a very nice fella and predictably one of the new uber sticks of AH along with a few other up and coming very aggressive, very solid sticks coming out of the woodworks lately. The 80th have done very good with those guys, great attitudes and great fights from them."
<S> again Zap nice win and good luck!

Nice post skyrock

Thanks for the kind words Mark, means a lot coming from a stick that even one respects. I was lovin' your flap use on those flat turns (even as I was getting beat by it), and you can expect I'll be bothering you sometime in the future to learn a bit more about it. <S>

Well, if its any consulation, our first fight looked like a couple noobs facing off. Neither one of us knew WTF we were doing in those Spitties.
K4 fight was much better but when it gets down to scissors, I just cant beat Mark, "my plane" or not. I think he is probably one of the best in the game at that maneuver, frankly. Couple degrees difference an AOA and a few MPH decides the day and he can always seem to find just enough to squeek it out. Wish I had that kind of control.

Hi Grizz,
I have + 7 hours difference from where you live.
During the week I'm connected usually from 19h00 to 23h00 my local time, so you can find me online during those hours.

Stay tuned.

Congrats to batfinkv, Grizz, and Zap on making the semi-finals.
Only three duels remain (or should remain) to determin this tournaments champion. Who will make the finals? Will it be batfink or Grizz facing Zap, Spektor or JB11? We'll soon find out.
Here's the updated bracket:

it's only midnight here grizz, i thought we agreed 01:00 am? This happened with Mensa too, he thought it was an hour ealier than it was GMT, i think daylight saving time is to blame.

On any given Sunday.
A big congratulations to JB11 and Grizz on making the finals of the Second Tri-Annual Dueling Bracket Championship!
While three of the eight quarter finalists from the first tournament didn't compete this time, of the five who did only one of them also made the quarter-finals of this tournament. That was batfinkv who went to the finals the last time and the semi-finals this time. I think that deserves a congratulations. It's obvious by the numbers that getting there, much less repeating, is a difficult task. Congrats batfink!
So here we are in the final week of the tournament. One more set of duels left to fight to determin a champion.
Grizz didn't get a first round bye and has had to fight his way through six weeks of match-ups to get to this point; obviously not an easy task. JB11 did get a first round bye and also got a recent forfiet needing only four duels to make the finals. That's not to take anything away from his accomplishment as he's fought some very good sticks in those four weeeks.
Which will win? The fight tested Grizz or the fresher JB11? Has Grizz' luck run out or will JB11's lack of fights hurt him?We'll soon find out.
Here's the bracket. Good luck to both of you in the finals.

Thanks BaldEagl, a certain ammount of luck plays a large part.
I could not wish to be knocked out by a more honest and sporting player, or a more creative and skilled pilot than Grizz.
It was an absolute pleasure to lose to him.

Go Grizz!!!

BE,
Thanks for spending the time to put this all together for our enjoyment. We owe you.

Congratulations to JB11 on his chamionship and to Grizz for taking runner-up! I haven't gotten a chance to see the films yet but I'm sure they'll be fun to watch.
At this point I'd like to thank everyone who's participated in the first two tournaments and I hope that you've all had fun, win or lose. I know I have and I haven't even made it out of the first elimination round yet but that won't keep me from trying again next time :) I've been encouraged by the response to these tournamants and as long as there's an interest I'll try to keep running them.
A special thanks to the members of the review committee(s), Jerkins, Nisky, TC and Zap and Vudak in the first tourney. While they didn't have to do anything this time around I appreciated having them standing by in case of a dispute.
In a bit of housecleaning news I will be taking down all of the interim brackets from the first tournamant and leaving only the final bracket posting to maintain space in my photobucket account. I will be leaving all of the bracket postings for this tournamant until the next one is complete, at which point I'll delete the interim brackets, again leaving only the final bracket posting. So, for past tournaments, just look to the last couple of pages of the threads to see the completed bracket.
The next tournament sign up will likely begin on or about January 17, 2010 and run for two weeks. I hope to see you sign-up then.
And now, the crowning of this tournamants Champion; JB11. Sorry, I wish I could do more but, here's the final bracket:

OMFG, Grizz lost? WTFG JB11!

check the films kaz, it was another 'any given sunday' fight. Grizz lost his killer instinct for a few vital seconds and JB11 kept his killler instinct fully tuned. That's how these late rounds usualy go. No surprises for me as both are excelent, top tier duelers. :aok
forgot to say, thanks Baldeagl for all the fun you have created!
