just for fun

Format: Weeks 1&2 (8/21 & 8/28) - best 1 of 2 scores to determine and seed the top 32 locations.
Weeks 3 through 7 (9/4, 9/11, 9/18, 9/25, 10/2) - 5 rounds of single elimination. The final round of the simulation is one week later than the championship round of the actual tournament.

Sounds like an idea.
Any B/T swag to the winner??

Note: Teaser's is playing at Walsh's tonight. Boards at Teaser's don't work.

Teasers moving to Walsh's for 9/4 splits the simulation into a flexible treatment (in which Teasers/Walsh's at Walsh's advances over Santa Fe New Mexico Boxcar) and an inflexible treatment (in which Teasers, which did have one scoring box, falls to Boxcar), with the flexible treatment considered foremost.

9/4 round of 32 results:

Hi Whales,

After last night, three rounds to go in the brackets but only two in the tournament, I think.

GONE D · **Joined:** Mon Sep 19, 2016 9:33 am **Posts:** 710

You guys who play these evening quizzes are under a lot of stress.

If the quiz closes on Sept 25, there are only two more sessions. So there should only be four sites left in an elimination format.

Yes. For the two (or perhaps three) finalists, the bracket simulation extends one week longer than the actual. It was Buzztime that shortened the actual from 7 to 6 weeks this year, and I kept the simulation the same as last year.

Round of 16 results, 9/11/19:

1 Chicago Illinois Teasers (flexible treatment) 59436 <-----
16 New York New York Mad River 50120
(Mad River also appears in the inflexible treatment match 16 vs. 32 below)

3 Cleveland Ohio West Park Station 51793 <-----
19 Mesa Arizona Uncle Bears 47830

Having no skin in the game, I applaud your decision, WHALES. The most dedicated players shall play, regardless of money or tournament status. Players who show up week in, week out, without regard to corporate promotion, are also the players who are most likely to succeed.

Mad River is Schrödinger's cat!! We are both alive and dead!! Don't look at the scores!!

A few weeks from now, Teasers may gain the unique distinction of winning AND losing the same tournament!

This is starting to resemble a Doctor Who episode.

More alive than dead. And if XTRAIN is playing, too ornery to be killed off by minor inconveniences, such as plutonium.

One would expect that an everything bagel, with chive and onion, nova lox, tomato, onion, and a sprinkling of capers, could keep the most finicky cat alive for a very long time.
