The Top rated stopped each other, the third in the standings can not but rejoice

I have switched around a couple of the round 4 fixtures such that jungleboy will now be playing rfielder and jvnoledawg will face Rosco.

The jungleboy vs rfielder match is scheduled to take place tonight (more from rfielder on this soon I believe) and there's a chance that Carcking vs quevy may also be happening this week (@quevy - please check your email).

Best of luck to everyone involved!

I've called with Moritz Brunnhofer (HiG) today.
He will send some tiles to Klaus-Juergen Wrede for signing the tiles...

That's fantastic, thanks so much kettlefish!

Dan, just a small suggestion about the standings. The played/won/lost section refers to individual games, not 'matches' of two games, so this can create some apparent anomalies with the standings.

For example, two players can both have the same line: Played: 4, won 2, lost 2, but one can have three points (by winning one match 2-0 and losing the other match 0-2) and the other can have two points (by splitting both matches 1-1).

To take this further, if one player played six matches (12 games), winning three matches and losing three matches, they would have a win-loss record of 6-6 and nine total points. Another player could play six matches, winning one of them and drawing the other five. This person would then have a better win-loss record of 7-5, but only eight total points (5x1 + 3).

All of this is a way of saying that I think we should include match results as well as game results, in the standings, to make it clearer how each player ended up with the number of points they have.

It's funny you should say that as I was just agonising over the current standings and was trying to anticipate how they might change depending on various outcomes. My case in point being that if the Carcking vs quevy match results in a win for quevy then he will have 9 points from 3 match wins and 1 match loss. This will put him one point ahead of me as I have 8 points from 2 match wins and 2 match draws. In terms of games though, we'll be even as we'll both have won 6 and lost 2, so I was thinking about that a little bit.

In any case, I have updated the spreadsheet now as per your suggestion. It's looking pretty good for those among us who like numbers and statistics (see photo below)! Speaking of which, here are some of the interesting game achievements I've been tracking so far:

Highest Losing Score: 124 (danisthirty lost by 10 points to jvnoledawg)
Lowest Winning Score: 83 (MrNumbers won by 14 points against quevy)
Closest Game: 117 - 116 (quevy/ rfielder - quevy won by 1 point)
Biggest Score Difference: 114 - 40 (danisthirty/ jvnoledawg - danisthirty won by 74 points)
Highest combined scores: 258 (danisthirty/ jvnoledawg - jvnoledawg won by 10 points)

Please let me know if you can think of any other similar achievements that could be recorded!

Thanks danisthirty,
now I do understand the League Points.

You need to resort by league points so that I am ahead of Carcking

(I realise, of course, that I have played one more match.)

@kettlefish - I'm sorry it wasn't clear, I'm glad that the leader board makes sense now

@jungleboy - maybe it's just me, but I have trouble getting Excel to sort the table without messing up all the formatting and mixing everyone's average scores up. I find it easier just to do it by hand, but because this takes a few minutes at a time I tend to wait until I've got all the results in before I do it.

I call sabotage!

Carcking, your game has stopped, has something happened?

Have you guys seen any of my emails??

Landslide victory of Carcking, suspend the first game made me lose concentration.
I have not counted my followers and I was no one, even though I thought I had one more...
It would be enough to move the gaze of a few centimeters to notice...
I was too caught up in the game.
