A few of the top dogs have fallen, but first, here are the records so far this tour of everyone who's left: Giannisc0mpBAGANHA13AttributeIkaishizinniasHairoll Sheet record in Masters tiers1-717-131-29-80-00-00-0 Record w/o byes or act wins10-010-110-19-29-110-29-2 All...

Hello, SPL...I recently had my 53rd birthday, and opened this old forum for the first time in years because my oldest kid's 19 now and wanted to play in this tournament. His screen name here is Nemosse, does anyone know him? Hey, kiddo! He's a good kid and worked hard all year, I promise, so...

Bumping this thread six months later. I apologize for the massive post, and I know it's a busy period with policy, but I figured that if anything is going to happen here it probably shouldn't be much later than this. I wanted to put together some more thorough numbers because I think the info...

I think that "creating awards to bring debate/discussion back to the forum is worth introducing subjectivity and controversy to the process" is a totally reasonable position. No disagreement there, and I think Rey's right that if this is the preferred format then you should also bring all sorts...

Okay, let's start with a historical check-in, now that we're in what I consider the actual playoffs of this tour. There are 5 players for whom this is their first career individual top 16: BAGANHA13, Ikaishi, NoName6293, zinnias, and either kDCA or Hairoll. Of them, only BAGANHA13 (and kDCA) has...

I guess since I made the thread I'll reply again here... Seems like most people are interested in SOMETHING like this existing, and the dissenting voice is mostly "there's no neat way to determine it so it's more controversy than it's worth." There's also I think general agreement that if it...

I think you highlight well the case where a voting system can vote well, which is the scenario where this is an award that is specifically devoted to the best player on the best team and where the insight that players on that team can offer is most valuable. In that context, this is really more...

Today on Smogtours Discord there was a conversation about the relative value of carrying your SPL/SCL/WCOP team with a dominant record compared to an individual trophy, which is a conversation that pops up periodically. I threw out the suggestion of an MVP award for each tour, and it was met...

Will make a big post in top 16 (which is the common playoff thresholds for all individuals), but a few scattered thoughts about the qualifiers: 1. 8/34 players here are real newcomers: zero sheet games and zero individual playoff appearances. Those players are NoName6293, zinnias, Blazing...

Third and final Hall of Fame Watch (trademark pending) of the year! In case you think this list is a bit lacking in terms of already-decorated players, you wouldn't be crazy; only 13/35 players remaining in this tournament already have a trophy. By contrast, 16/33 players in WCOP finals already...

Just bc I'd love to help out with this but I can't add suggestions to the script doc without doxxing myself (I'll figure that out later), I'll try to give as thorough an account as I can of Tesung's accomplishments. Indiv tours: Team tours: No circuit playoffs in case anyone is wondering...

As most people probably realized if they took a cursory glance at the standings, there were some really great individual seasons this year, and though I'm sure there's lots to be said about Shengineer's 8-1 season, and about the seasons by etern, Fc and ABR that currently sit at 8-1 with playoff...
