| Sure thing. I just fired off an email to Greg. Actually adding a comment to a game you've played against Greg will also send an email to him. So if I don't see the post and there is something urgent, the message could be sent this way as well.

I have messed up the tiebreaker calculation somehow because it doesn't sum to zero any more, but hopefully we will all score a different number of points so that tiebreaks won't be necessary. The calculation should still be roughly correct for now, as I perhaps only messed up one player's tiebreak score, but if two folks end up tied in score, I'll recalculate all the tiebreaks just to be sure.

Karl, I decided to help you out a bit by writing a quick program to generate the results table. You can download it from: http://arimaa.com/arimaa/tourn/bin/mktab To run it on your PC type: perl mktab [games] where [games] is the name of a file containing the game numbers; one per line.

Wow, thanks, Omar! I'll see if I can get it running.

OK, I was able to run the script. It's a great way to catch my tiebreak addition errors, but without the table formatting tags the output doesn't look so hot when directly pasted into the forum. The game list so far is 14683 14688 14695 14697 14698 14725 14781 14804 14877 14961 14966 14968 14995 15070 15134 15138 15169 15170 15242 15281 15297 15298 15303 15321 15322 15331 15333 15401 15402 15426 15458 15522 15523 15524 15545 15568 15582 15588 15589 15590 15593 15641 15656 15657 15671 15698 15858 15891 15964 15977 15998 16143 18223 18666 18689 18793 18813 18824 18869 18871 19348

Before the tournament started, I wondered whether there would be much chance of a tie with everyone playing 24 games, but 99of9 and Robinson have managed to be tied so far with 9 wins in 13 games each. Apparently Robinson is winning faster bzw. losing slower by one move(!) per game, because he leads the tiebreak by twelve moves.

I will be traveling from Wednesday through Saturday. Perhaps I will be able to check on the server periodically, but more likely I won't be around for the next 90 hours or so. Because I won't be able to frequently scan the recent games list for games that qualify for this tournament, I would be much obliged if people would post relevant game numbers here until I am back and can update the standings. Thanks in advance!

My apologies, folks. My life suddenly got very busy. Between starting a new job, moving to a new apartment, and participating in my mother's funeral service, I have barely had time to check whether other people are playing games, never mind playing any games myself. When I could log on several times per day to check for opponents, having an unscheduled tournament seemed like a good idea. Now that I feel I often don't have the time to log on even once in a day, I can tell I won't be able to complete my games in the scheduled time frame of the tournament. My intention had been to try (at this point in the tournament) to organize all the unplayed games using the scheduling tool that Omar had created, but as it turns out I am afraid that I don't have the energy to do that. I hope that no one will be too upset if this tournament remains forever incomplete. At least we'll have a record of an interesting experiment that didn't completely work out.

Condolences again, some things are much more important than arimaa. Don't worry. I think we should just keep the tournament going and play whenever possible. It doesn't really matter when it ends. There aren't that many games left to get through. The postal tourney went for much longer than this one! (Apart from Adanac who looks like he can't manage so many games. Perhaps he could try to play one against Omar and one against Paul, just to make everyone equal.) If we do decide to continue, we should all post our games to this thread so that Fritz doesn't have to look through the games.

Im really sorry to hear about your mother, Karl. My condolences. I agree with Toby, don't worry about the schedule of the lightning tournament. We'll eventually get all the games played. Thanks so much for organizing it and keeping the results updated.

With Adanac back in town, and with my icky job over and gone, we may yet finish this tourney! Although now Robinson and KamikazeKing aren't online as often, so there may still be difficult-to-fill pairings.
