This is for all the players in the Beefeater’s league. https://boardgamearena.com/group?id=6704738
Anyone with a ''strong'' rating or higher in 6 nimmt can join our weekly competition. We play tactics/pro with 5 players only.
We’ve made a couple policy changes, and there are a few up for discussion. Also, any suggestions are welcome here.
Item 1: We are now counting your 3 best weeks out of the last 4 weeks. So if you miss 1 week it doesn’t hurt your scores so much.
All scores previous to the latest 4 weeks no longer count, just like before.
Item 2: When players tie on a game they split the points from the 2 (or more) positions. So if players tie for 3rd place, they will both get 2.5 points instead of getting 3 points for 3rd. A tie for 1st means both players will get 5 points.
Item 3: Ties in the standings will be determined by which player gained the most points on the most current week. For instance, whatshisbucket and I both have 48 points, but he gained 15 points this week while I gained only 12. So whatshisbucket wins this tie. If both players gained the same, then we look at the week before that, and so on.
If you missed the current week, this will hurt you in tie breakers. Even though your 3 best weeks are just as good. We are comparing the latest week regardless.
Item 4: If a player needs to leave, or just disappears from the game, first, let’s give them some time to try to get back in the game. If it can’t be avoided, start a new game with a substitute player. When this new game ends, we will add the scores that all the players had from both games to determine the winner, and other positions. It’s basically an extended game.
Item 5: It’s very helpful to have players signed up in advance. Also, part of the idea for this league, is that the leaders who are doing well are forced to play against each other, knocking each other back down a little. So if someone joins late it messes up the system a bit. There could be an advantage for one of the leaders to not sign up until the last minute so that they can play on the lowest table and maybe gain more points. Although I don’t think any of us would start doing that on purpose, I think there should a penalty of 1 point for signing up later than Friday night.
