what a mess, both pairs in MD finals already picked before, or still any chance, if I can pick #1 seed, but think the rules say game over anyway, it's still fun and I turn back to normal - anybody has to gift the points for the winners
Hi Demolidor, I think you are making it quite tough for the moderator hcyong. The match is scheduled at "8am". The players may still be warming up and/or getting ready to play at "8.01am". Since you have already decided to input the "XD - Mateusiak/Zieba", would you have reasoned otherwise if they had won? I believed the moderator would still have accepted your XD pick at "8.01am"
Had they won my max score would be runner-up since I already picked both the other semifinalists. Should I pick the winner in the final my max score is still runner-up since I wouldn't have picked in the semifinal. If my pick for the final loses my score will by QF instead of SF as it is now ... so I'm at risk of finishing worse actually ... either or I guess, not much difference in it. But from the days before they probably were still warming up like you say ...
Final MS_ Lost @ R32 WS_ 2 finalists already have been picked MD_ Lost @ R32 WD_ 2 finalists pairs already have been picked XD_ Lost @ SF
Can we stop all this, leaving picks blank ? I don't think it's very fair if you pick some players, and then decided to change it to blank, especially if the player selected loses. I don't think it's particularly fair, its fair enough if you forget or can't post, but I'd you pick and then decided not to pick, I think that is a bit unfair.
What the hell are you on about. Those changes were made far in advance for the other two matches. There is nothing in the rules about leaving blanks except i will get a penalty which I have chosen to accept, call it a Suarez . That you happened to chose so poorly is all on you . I already picked Leverdez earlier so couldn't pick him so had no choice but to pick Ikeda as I thought Ouseph would beat either two in the final. Since I though Ikeda was going to lose anyway I left it blank and likewise for the other matches.
Actually I see something interesting in the rules now. I think hcyong will pick up on it to settle the debate . Case closed. Well since we have to somewhat selfgovern: substitutes from earlier rounds replace blanks . Which would make my SF as following: SF MS - Yuichi Ikeda WS - Judith Meulendijks MD - Bach/Gunawan XD - Lee/Chien F WS - Zhu Lin
Hi LD rules, "leaving pick blank" is ok as stated in the rule. Its all part of strategy. There is a subsequent demotion penalty ("points" is equivalent to win/lost of previous round). During these FanBad games, I did consider leaving blank for some picks, but in the end decided to use my 'triump' card (ie. potential winner. eg: Zhu Lin, Lee Chong Wei, etc) as I think subsequent round may again end up with an even tougher choice to pick. I agree with demolidor . . . it is all strategy.
hmmm - good to know, something to think about for next time anyway, nice game, just the players have to keep up 'normal form' otherwise my results will not get any better
Well, if you leave an entry blank, you lose the chance of ending up champion in the event. Pretty steep penalty, I think. And there won't be many situations where we will employ it as strategy.
