Vlalutscher Oct 23, 2015, 10:33 AM Could you please explain the ruling for publishing decks?
It has been one deck for every forth participant, but I don't know to what it was changed.
Having a positive rate over all matches seems to be necessary.
Looking at the table of decks, the ratio looks a bit strange.
Last two online tournaments: 4/21 & 5/28
Last paper tournaments: 2/8, 3/11, 2/6, 2/7, 2/8 & 4/12(!?)
Does the rule only affect our tourney?
I don't mind, that I was the first one who didn't make the cut in both tourneys.
So my deck still stays quite unknown, but it would be fine to know how to make the cut next time maybe.

Manudesbois Oct 23, 2015, 12:01 PM According to the rule we had chosen there should be 6 people, but it looks like max becomes more demanding...

Vlalutscher Oct 25, 2015, 1:28 PM According to which rule? That is the question.

Lorebroker Oct 25, 2015, 10:21 PM I believe there were thresholds of number of participants. If those were met another deck would be published. In addition there were cases of tourneys were two players had the same result resulting in an additional published list.
This tourney there should be more than four decks as it was in the past.

But I agree. It would be nice if those thresholds were open information!

Manudesbois Oct 26, 2015, 9:41 AM The rule was 1/4 of the players, rounded up, and maximum of 8. I think what is considered now by some people who post the results is more the number of wins and losses, in an informal way, than the exact position of a player.

Lorebroker Oct 26, 2015, 5:56 PM But then in a two-phase tourney the number of wins and losses in a final pod should be another value than in a single-phase tourney for obvious reasons!

Manudesbois Oct 26, 2015, 6:05 PM What I believe is that in the latest online tourneys, the cut was made between the players having 9 points in the final phase and the ones having less than 9 (I don't have the results in front to check, I can't see the doc from where I am).

Max2070 Oct 26, 2015, 9:16 PM I have to update the explanation on the page where we submit top 8 (for a long time now ...). I report what I call the 'significant top'. I'm concern by the number of point the participant have. For instance if there are 3 guys at the 1st rank with 9 pts in a tournament of 8 players. I find completely stupid to put only the two first one just by applying the '1/4 rules'.

So in every tournament, you got a number of point's treshold the players got. For instance the two last tournaments :

September :

Treshold 1 - 15 pts : GalacticPresident
Treshold 2 - 12 pts : Papaoursdelux, Bobelou19
Treshold 3 - 9 pts : Charlee, Max2070
Treshold 4 - 6 pts : Vlalutscher, Manudesbois
Treshold 6 - 3 pts : Bri

October :

Treshold 1 - 16 pts : Max2070
Treshold 2 - 13 pts : komodo
Treshold 3 - 12 pts : willow
Treshold 4 - 9 pts : Papaoursdelux
Treshold 5 - 6 pts : luka_93, Schmonkus, Vlalutscher
Treshold 6 - 3 pts : Bri

The first rule is I never cut in a middle of a treshold because I assume that all player with the same amount of point deserve the same treatment.

The second rule is basic => you must have a good score to appears in top 8, this rule is not a rigourous one but we can easily define together what is a good score and what is not in order to be on the same page.

for the decisions I took we can observe the results of the guys at 6 points for instance Vlalutscher :

September : 5-5 in overall and 2-4 in final pool
October : 4-5 in overall and 2-4 in final pool

those results are not even positives, I'm open to discuss the % of win which make a result a good one or another system ...
