This will be the next ROOT tournament for the 2012-2013 Season. If you want to join, post here telling me that, and I will give you a matchup for next week.

Week 5 (Final) Matchups:
Guardian vs. jbeers
maniac vs. slug
Prof A vs. MKC
jmhartz vs. Westok
Prof U vs. Thomas Hunter

I'll join and vote for NJ ban.

I'll join this month and also vote for NJ Ban.

I'll play nj ban

Warrior_Monk · « **Reply #4 on:** February 19, 2013, 01:24:03 AM »

Best 2/3 again. With NJ banned.

And I'm in. Double elim won't work great in ROOT. Though it would be a time saver.

Master KChief · « **Reply #5 on:** February 19, 2013, 02:13:23 AM »

In, NJ ban.

Also, why are we still using the ambiguous language of reporting by Monday night/Tuesday morning?

I think my predecessor used that language because he meant overnight on Monday (which would include both). Considering that there hasn't been anyone reporting games past 3am EST Tues morning (which would still be Mon night out west), it hasn't been an issue, so I haven't changed it.

It is an issue when someone reports 'Tuesday morning' and gets robbed of points because 'Monday night' is there as well. Why not just avoid the whole fiasco and make it a concrete set time as before, such as midnight CST or whatever?

I think everyone understands that Mon night/Tue morning means during the nighttime of Mon and around midnight with a bit of flexibility for time zones. But if you want to assume that people are incapable of "deciphering around the social vernacular", then I can change it to be more objective

I stopped right there. Assumptions and lack of clarity doesn't promote an impartial tournament structure.

I will play this month. And I will go with the popular trend of voting for an NJ ban.

In with the NJ ban

Bobbert · « **Reply #13 on:** February 21, 2013, 11:04:17 PM »

I'll be in with NJ ban.

When does this ROOT start?

Today, I've just been swamped. I just used Random.org to get the following sequence:
6
9
7
2
10
5
3
8
11
4
1

Games will be assigned based on that. I'll clean it up later, but you can go with that if you're in a hurry.

If someone else joins in the next day or so, hopefully you'll be able to play them to still get a game in this week

Bobbert · « **Reply #21 on:** February 28, 2013, 10:35:52 PM »

jmhartz beat me 5-3. He ripped a plot.

Josh · « **Reply #22 on:** February 28, 2013, 10:36:54 PM »

I won 5-3. It was a nailbiter, but I managed to pull it out. I ripped a Plot.

Nope, we're glad to have you. If you can play a game against The Guardian before Mon Midnight, then you can get points for this week. Otherwise, I'll schedule you an opponent for next week (which is only week 2, so plenty of time for you to come back).
