Card Ranchers Competition

Post by Wreckage »

We are starting a new 6 Nimmt! competition on January 5. We will play 3 games each Sunday starting at 8pm UTC. Players must have 200 elo or higher to join.
Each week, I’ll need players to sign-up by Friday if they intend to play that Sunday. We’ll take sign-ups until the last hour before games, but you may not get a spot if you sign up late. We will schedule 12 weeks of play. You may play as many of those weeks as you like.

Table settings for all games will be:
5 players
Tactics/ Pro
Normal speed
Good and above, or strong and above

Each week we will schedule everyone to tables with predetermined opponents, and you will play the same opponents all 3 games that day. On each of your games you will get 1-5 points, according to the position you finish, with a possible 15 points total if you win all 3 games.

For standings, the best 2 weeks out of the previous 3 weeks will be your score. Example: after 3 weeks of play, you have scored 11, 7, 13, Your total score is 24, the week you scored only 7 is ignored. Likewise, scores 4 weeks ago or older are ignored. This way the rankings are more likely to change, and if you miss a week, it wont hurt you so much. Also, it keeps everyone within 2 weeks of being in first place.

Tie scores on a game will result in the points being split evenly. For example, if two players tie for first place, the scores for that game will be 4.5, 4.5, 3, 2, 1, instead of the normal 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

Tie scores in the standings will be settled by who did best on the most recent week (or most recent game on the first couple weeks).

Each week you will will have to sign up by Friday to compete in the games on that Sunday.

I used random.org to set up our tables for this week. Don't worry about starting higher or lower on the list as there is no advantage to starting positions.

Tables for January 5

Gold Table
1. Spur21hk ***Table Manager
2. Buckerup
3. Momma_Bear
4. Thereda
5. Jellyfin

Silver Table
1. Simorgh ***Table Manager
2. Ludentotten
3. Tonyiptony
4. Amethyst Dragon
5. Simosan

Bronze Table
1. Dragonne1964 ***Table Manager
2. Waterlily Blooms
3. 3p1cFr3nzy
4. Wreckage
5. Carlis

Iron Table
1. Mahpa ***Table Manager
2. Jamieshih
3. Tutimi
4. Punkah
5. Lily23

Table managers have been chosen to start the tables and invite the other players, but anyone can begin doing that when it's close to game time. If someone is late, let's give them a couple minutes before opening it up to replace them. But try to be on time, so you're not inconvenient to other players.

Edit: The sign-up page is locked, but you can still message me if you'd like to play this week. As we get the 21st - 25th players I will add them to another table. If they are short a few players, they will have to fill their table with outside players.

Message me if you want to be added to a table for Jan 5. Games start at 8pm UTC.

Rankings after the first week of play:

01 Wreckage_______13
02 Tonyiptony______12.5
03 Ludentotten_____12.5
04 Spur21hk_______ 12
05 Simosan________ 11
06 Waterlily Blooms 11
07 Punkah___________9
08 Momma_Bear____ 9
08 Tutimi____________9
10 Carlis____________ 8
11 Buckerup_________7
12 Jellyfin___________6
12 Lily23____________6
14 Amethyst Dragon 5
15 Simorgh_________ 4

With a very strong field of players, it's not surprising the scores are so balanced. This week was a bit of a struggle with players getting the time wrong, and then the site being very laggy. Also, the horrible page they call the "new lobby" makes running events like this much harder. I think we will all get used to the starting time, but I do think the site tends to have more lag on Sundays.

Looking forward to next week, the top 5 players will be facing each other, making it difficult for them to keep their positions. I will setup the tables on Friday once we see who is playing. Hopefully we will grow a little. Tell other players about it. As new players join us they will be added to the bottom of the list but it doesn't take long to move up.

Wreckage led the gold table with 11 points, but not enough to catch Spur.
Thereda won the silver table, and with balanced scores on the gold table,
she passed all the leaders and is our current champion.
Radzevil led the Bronze table with 13 points, earning a spot at the gold table.
KatyaM scored 12 points and will be the leading player on silver next week.
Blobbyblob won all 3 games and scored a perfect 15 points. Well done!
Frenzy had 11 points on his first week competing. Nice start.

Thanks everyone for participating. Except for the lag issues, this was our best week so far. Bga seems to have trouble on Sundays. It was nice to have everyone show up, or message early if there was a problem. The sign up system we are using is really helpful for me, so that I can just look on Friday instead of remembering what everyone told me all week. We had a couple people who wanted to play, but forgot to sign up, so sign up early.

We play 3 real time games starting at 8pm UTC each Sunday.

25. Greyhair____________6______ 0_______0________ 6

Spur led the gold table with 2 victories and another great week.
Carlis also had an outstanding score, and is the current champion.
3p1cFr3nzy, only playing two weeks so far, has moved into 4th place.
Waterlily Blooms led the silver table with two victories, and 12.5 points.
Ludentotten also had a good day, scoring 11 points on silver.
Amethyst Dragon won the bronze table, earning a spot on the gold table.

We’ve done really well with people showing up on time. Unfortunately bga is unstable every week on Sundays. Thanks everyone for being patient. This ranking system is designed to make the top positions change a lot, and that’s what’s happening. So far, we have played 4 weeks, and had 4 different leaders. I plan to continue 8 more weeks with this league, so if someone can manage to hold the top position about 3 times, they are likely to be the overall champion.

Sign-up is open for February 2. https://boardgamearena.com/group?id=17370130
I hope you all are enjoying the league,

Spur, with good scores every week, is our champion again for the second time.
Radzevil and Wreckage both scored 12 on the silver, putting Radzevil in second place.
Tonyiptony had a perfect week, winning all 3 games and taking the third place slot.
Buckerup scored 11 points, just enough to put him in the top 10.
Cheval_raye scoring 13, will be a contender for top positions for several weeks.

A few tables had to scramble to find subs this week. Thank you all for being co-operative while we get organized.
If you need a couple minutes between games, just say so, other players are generally okay with that.

The sign-up is open for Feb 9th games. https://boardgamearena.com/group?id=17370130
