Double Dragon Doubles Tournament<---Click Here for daily updates
I want in. How do I enter? Easy... Transfer 100 credits to PaiGow ( me  )
I will refund if you withdraw before 22 Feb, or do not qualify. What is a Double Elimination Tournament? A double-elimination tournament is a type of tournament in which a participant is not eligible to win the tournament's championship upon having lost two games or matches. A double-elimination tournament is broken into two sets of brackets, the Winner's Bracket and Loser's Bracket . After the first round, the winners proceed into the Winner's Bracket and the losers proceed into the Loser's Bracket. If you lose while in the Loser's Bracket you are eliminated. Why 'Doubles' tournament? Most clicking contest are predictable... top 3 are the dynasty members with highest average/day clicks. This style doubles tournament makes teams of highest and lowest average individuals to 'even the playing field'. Teams...(Example Qualify spreadsheet.)
What is this 'Qualify' about? Two main reasons... 1) If have more than 32 entries, top 32 qualifying score will enter tournament (thus 'qualify'). 2) Set rank of player based on qualifying period average (23-27 Feb). If your qualifying average is below your dynasty average, then I use your dynasty average for placement.(prevent 'sandbagging') What if we don't get 32 players? Old... 1) Reduce to top 16 qualifying players and make 8 teams. 2) Prize structure remains the same. 3) Tournament ends 4 days early (01-17 March) New... Teams with the top qualifing players will get 'bye' (rest) in first round. Example for 24 players (12 teams) 12 Team Seeded Double Elimination Tournament Bracket What if my team mate gets booted or leaves dynasty? Your team mate will receive 'ghost' clicking score = 90% of qualifying average and forfeit any prize to remaining team member. Example: If player qualifies with 500 avg/day then his ghost score shall be 450 (0.9 * 500) What if odd(ie. 23) number players? Middle qualifying player shall team with his 'ghost'. Follow rule above "team mate gets booted". What if both team members get booted or leave dynasty? Remaining matches are forfeited and any prize is shared by 3 winner teams equally. More Details... Entry fee: 100 credits (send to PaiGow, I will refund if you withdraw or do not qualify) Entry Deadline : 21 February (but early is better for me) Who: Limited to 32 players who pay entry fee then qualify Refund entry fee if you do not qualify. When: 01-21 March (Player qualification 23-27 Feb) Sponsor Credits: 11200 credits (or more) 
Entry Credits: 2200 (Max. 3200) Total Purse: 13400 credits Sponsor Prize: 1st 5500+ Credits (2750+ each) 2nd 3400+ Credits (1700+ each) 3rd 2100+ Credits (1050+ each) Thank you to our Sponsors: 5000 EnteHuhnchen 4200 PaiGow 1000 erLo 1000 ninitoons76 More sponsors invited to donate.
Entry Fee Payout: 50 credits per tournament win (win 2 times before 2 losses gets your entry fee back) Winner of tournament will have between 5 and 8 wins for additional 250-400 credits Teams: Based on dynasty clicks in 5 days prior (23-27 Feb) to tournament (eliminate high & low day score, sum remaining 3 days clicks) Player with highest 3 day total makes team with player with lowest 3 day total. If your qualifying average is below your dynasty average, then I use your dynasty average for placement (should prevent 'sandbagging'). Matches: Winner bracket is 4 days (eliminate high & low day score, sum middle scores determines winner). Losers bracket is 2 days after 2nd round (sum both days to determine winner). Tie matches will be won by team with higher cumulative total. Final match is 2 days (+1 day sudden death if needed) 23-27 February pre-tournament qualification. 28 Feb Rest day (but keep clicking for dynasty:) Teams announced 01-04 March 1st round (8 matches with all 16 teams) (winners bracked & losers bracket formed) 05-08 March 2nd round (winners & losers bracket 4 matches each) 09-12 March 3rd round (09-10 & 11-12 matches in losers bracket) 13-16 March 4th round (winner to final loser to semi-final) (13-14 & 15-16 matches in losers bracket) 17-18 March semi-final (winner to Final; loser is 3rd place) 19-21 March Finals (2 days match and 1 day tie-breaker match if needed) (winner from semi-final must win 2 days Final and tie breaker match) (if winner from semi-final lose finals match, they are 2nd place) Players...(count 22 of 32 ((max)))

k o l o m n a - Sun Mar 01, 2009 8:16 am Wow!!!  Great page. Thanks PaiGow 
lokokoko - Mon Mar 02, 2009 1:31 am if my partner does 0 does he get his ghost score or 0 PaiGow - Mon Mar 02, 2009 2:58 am
0 , but not to worry yet...
clarification : eliminate each players low & high score sum middle 2 scores So 0 is your partner low score (probably same as if he click 100 or 300) and hope he does better or gets booted. After he's booted, then we will count his ghost score. This is more of a problem after a teams 1st loss when matches are 2 days long and both scores count. Hope this helps, idem32 - Tue Mar 10, 2009 4:55 am WOW..well thought the competition .... those days are over for one spend the night without sleep..hahahaha
