Team Tournament Games: Leaderboard, game links and results

# And now, the end is near .... #

Four orders phases left (at most) and then Villa and the whole Team Tourney will be wrapped up.

For the players still active in the game I'd like to draw your attention to the Team Tournament Rules:
viewtopic.php?f=27&t=6073

and particularly what happens if the game is still active after the Fall 1915 build phase:

"Game conclusion and length
A game ends when one player owns 18 supply centres at the end of a fall turn.
Alternatively, the game may end at any time if all of the surviving players agree by vote to stop playing and declare a draw. Only players who still control one or more supply centres may participate in the decision to end the game.
If there is no solo winner or agreed draw by the end of the fall 1915 build phase, a draw including all survivors (DIAS) will be assumed at that point. If this includes 5 or more players, no TP will be scored from the game, but dp will be scored based on this draw position."

However, as the game is already down to only 3 players, Tournament Points will be scored as a draw for the remaining players at the end of 1915.

Players still in the game are free to keep playing through 1916 and beyond, but it won't affect scores for the Team Tourney (and as the game is no rank, it won't affect site ranking scores either).

... and I do see that Italy just missed a build.

Will there be a last-gasp sequence of NMRs, autosurrender and points penalty affecting the Tourney outcome?

And that's the tournament.

With the result in from Villa, the closest that Lallav Looke* can close the gap to is 55-50. So congratulations to The Isotopes on a tournament win. The lead they built up in Round 1 followed by consistent scoring in later rounds was too much for the others.

Final standings will be confirmed when game Villa ends to reveal player IDs, unless players/teams want to reveal their country allocations here in advance of that if any players are fighting on. As it's a no rank game and has served its purpose in the tourney, I don't think any harm can be done by this info being disclosed outside the game now.

Thanks all for playing.


*Did we ever discover what it means?

[Flatley]

I trust that's hint enough to who THIS Isotope was.

[Sheddy]

And with a draw accepted in the game, the IDs are revealed. Chuksi got really close to pulling off a result for Lallav Looke, but just not close enough.

With Team Shadow eliminated as Austria before 1905 in this last game, the only movement on the leaderboard is that they snatch the wooden spoon from The Four Horsemen (who scored 2 detour points) in the end.

Thanks for the tournament guys, it was fun for me!

[Flatley]

Aye, for me as well. I'm glad all my efforts were worthwhile. Sometimes it pays to be Germany.

Wooo horsemen! Thats what I call a comeback! 3 more rounds and maybe we woulda been making ripples in the leaderboard :p

I think Team Canada wins The Consistency Award. If I was Canadian I would feel comfortable about saying something about how that mirrors Canadians themselves, but as I'm not, I feel unqualified.

I know right? Too bad we had a player drop leaving our team with a bunch of penalties and in a bad position. Oh well, I had fun.
