L19 2011/2012 tournament: PAIRINGS and RESULTS

[schultz]

Oren and I have scheduled our game for Monday, July 25 - 8:00PM MDT (7PM PDT).

I assume we'll be playing in the Lifein19x19 room.

Let me know if this doesn't match up Oren!

here is beta version of alternative tournament bracket, designed for self-administration (based on the Araban's table)

however, i was pretty lazy when writing it, so it may contain various bugs and you should definitely post your set dates and final results here as a backup.

also: losers' bracket is not yet prepared, because i don't know how it will exactly look. background colours are yet to be inserted semi-manually by me. once inserted data cannot be automatically changed, so be careful when sending them and PM me if anything goes wrong. i was indecisive about who should be authorized to insert data, in the end it is allowed to anyone with the password: "19x19". i hope there won't be any malicious users inserting nonsenses, otherwise i would have to come up with a more sophisticated protection

if anyone wanted to take my code and improve it, just PM me and i will send you the source code

Whoops, guess I missed this! Although, probably would not have participated even if I noticed earlier. Too rusty. Just dropping by to give a good luck to all participants involved!

Well, seems I was not the only one inspired to write some code for this.

Anyway, it is moot now, but here's my attempt:

(note: this is not the same bracket that Joaz made, as it is auto-generated)

You can drag & drop the KGS nicknames to empty cells to enter results, or drop them on top of another player to swap their positions. There's no backend to it (yet), and a lot of automation could be added (such as automatically moving losers into their correct place).

The html file can be used completely standalone. Just drag&drop some results, then save the html file locally, and it'll remember the results and still work.

Although we all probably appreciate the easy-to-read versions like this:

Karaklis and I played our game. He won by 62.5 points. I was black, he was white.

Here's the game:



He dismantled me pretty easily.
I will also be posting in the analysis forum since I want to get better. I also want to wish Karaklis good luck.

i don't think it is moot. if nothing else, your AJAX looks much better than my php and is much more comfortable to use. i can't compete with that

[Sevis]

My game against perceval will be next Saturday, sorry for the delay.

Jordus hasn't read my PM's since Wednesday, so I don't know when our game will be. Hopefully during next week, since after that I will be on a summer cabin with unreliable internet.

[Aphelion]

Aphelion vs Hushfield will be in the L19 room in 1 hour, at July 23 10:40AM EST

Update: My game vs Hushfield has begun.

[emeraldemon]

Do we need to wait until all of round 1 is finished before starting round 2, or can we begin as soon as we know who the opponent will be? Also how are colors determined?

No problem as long as both players agree.

... Also how are colors determined?

Higher ranked - according to the hidden list at the bottom of post #1 in this thread - gets white. ( In your particular instance, you get white vs Hushfield )

[Aphelion]

Update: Hushfield beat me by resignation.

Update: Hushfield beat me by resignation.

I'm posting this assuming that Hushfield is still in shock from the win. It was an exciting game, white led much of it, then black came back to lead, white fought back to what was probably an even game and just had to patch one weak spot...

Excuse me for not posting the result and sgf here earlier. I had read over the following lines in your original post:

When the game is over, the winner should post the result with an SGF in this thread. ( If I don't see an SGF in this thread, it never happened and you don't get credit for the win. )

Having missed that, I got all worried about etiquette, and who should post what, so I waited.

Playing in this tournament is a really nice experience. I have never been so nervous for a game as today. Aphelion and I agreed to play our game about an hour after we saw each other online, and in that hour I just wandered restlessly through the appartement. The idea that there were going to be people watching the game made it considerably worse actually, so by the time the game was scheduled to start, my fingers were ice cold from the adrenaline. It's nice to get excited over a match, I haven't felt that way in quite some time. Thanks for the good times, L19.
