Group G2 has finished. Here is the final standings and P/R Guide. Well done to Super Smoove for winning on a count-back from DR. Love and Turkish.

Group G2

Player        (W-L)(Tie-Break)    (Position)(P/R Guide)
Super Smoove  (6-2)(1-1,21-9)     (1st)     (Double-Promoting to Group E)
DR. Love      (6-2)(1-1,19-11,1-0)(2nd)     (Promoting to Group F)

Leo           (5-3)               (4th)     (Promoting to Group F)
AI            (3-5)(2-1,1-0)      (5th)     (Remaining in Group G)

Oxygen        (1-7)               (9th)     (Remaining in Group G)

Group D has finished, and what a tight finish there was! Bonsai takes out the win, but for the first time, the league rules have forced me to make an adjustment to the group placings. On the tournament page, zanbato has been named in 3rd place ahead of cookie, but according to league tie-break rules, I am reversing their positions, as cookie won the head-to-head battle between the two players. Unfortunately, this does affect promotion, as zanbato now finishes 4th, and cookie has already messaged me to say he has decided to stay on in the league.

Here are the final standings and P/R Guide as determined using the league tie-break rules.

Group D

Player         (W-L)(Tie-Break)(Position)(P/R Guide)
Bonsai         (7-2)(2-1,1-0)  (1st)     (Double-Promoting to Group B)
Matt431        (7-2)(2-1,0-1)  (2nd)     (Promoting to Group C)
cookie         (7-2)(1-2,1-0)  (3rd)     (Promoting to Group C)
zanbato        (7-2)(1-2,0-1)  (4th)     (Remaining in Group D)
Corvus5        (4-5)(1-0)      (5th)     (Remaining in Group D)
Prabster Realm (4-5)(0-1)      (6th)     (Remaining in Group D)
Fleecemaster   (3-6)(1-0)      (7th)     (Remaining in Group D)
Wenyun         (3-6)(0-1)      (8th)     (Relegating to Group E)
boorzuur       (2-7)           (9th)     (Relegating to Group E)
Des            (1-8)           (10th)    (Removed from league to to inactivity)

Contrats Bonsai, you played well! Very well deserved double-promotion :)

I'm glad at least I managed to remain in group D, heh, I will have to make sure to earn that place next season ^_^

Yes, I think if Wenyun hadn't had all those boot losses, things would have been very different in Group D. Well done for holding on to your spot, all the same.

Yeah, it's a shame about that, silly Wenyun...

I thought about giving up my spot to him, but to get that many boots he's lucky to be allowed to stay in the league at all really :/

Fleece, definitely don't give up your spot, the bottom three deserve their relegations for not taking this seriously.

A competitive group indeed
congratz Bonsai
played very well

Well everyone, the good news is that Group C has finished, bringing an end to season 4 of the small earth league!

Oh my goodness, what a complicated group! There have thankfully been no unbreakable ties in this group, but there will be a major reshuffle in the positions after applying the league tie-break rules!

I honestly have no clue how Fizzer's tournament programming works out the 3-way tie in a round-robin, but it's different to the league system. My apologies to those in Group C who will end up finishing lower than what the tournament page says, but I'll try to explain the tie-break process we use.

Basically, if there are 3 players, each with the same win/loss ratio, and with split results against each other (1-1), then the next tie-break is a secondary win/loss ratio. The 'wins' in this ratio are the combined total wins of those players that the tied player won against, and the 'losses' in this ratio are the combined total wins of those players that the tied player lost against. In the event that all players are still tied, we go to a tie-break tournament to split the tie. If however, there are only 2 out of the 3 players that are still tied, we go back to the head-to-head between those 2 players only.

Hope that makes sense! Here is the results and P/R Guide from Group C.

big congrats to you bonsai as a gift for your double promotion i can give you the points for predicting me second:P

I honestly have no clue how Fizzer's tournament programming works out the 3-way tie in a round-robin

I guess Fizzer did not program this kind of a tie breaker at all. He did not even mention using a random number generator there. So people do not even have equal chances to place 1st in the event of multiple-way tie. This is why there is no coin round robin tournaments.

Well, with season 4 over, it's time to start looking forward towards season 5. I will put up an unofficial version of next season's groups soon for everyone to have a look through. Please let me know if I make any mistakes in this so I can correct them before we make next season's groups.

In the mean-time, here is a list of those players who have posted on this forum wanting to join the league in season 5.

So with the league finished I guess it is time for me to count up the final points in the prediction game:

1st   OxTheArtist                 35 points
2nd   Master Bjarke               29 points
3rd   Bonsai80                    27 points
4th   Hades                       25 points
5th   zanbato                     24 points
6th   E Masterpierrund            23 points  (this is how many points the combined predictions got)
7th   PanagiotisTheGreekFreak     22 points
7th   Ryzys                       22 points
9th   mario1995                   21 points
10th  mslasm                      20 points
10th  huddyj                      20 points
10th  Master Turtle               20 points*
13th  Des                         19 points
14th  Mr.Legi                     18 points
15th  Inside                      17 points
15th  Baer                        17 points
17th  j willy 47                  15 points
18th  PhucilliJerry               14 points**
19th  Buns157                     11 points**
20th  Fleecemaster                0  points***


*did not submit predictions for group F

** No predictions in G1 and 2. with almost everyone getting 3 or 5 points that was a costly group to miss, 
although 3 points would not give buns a better placement at all :P. 

*** Fleecemaster did only submit predictions for his own group, group D. And he managed to not predict
 a single one of the top 3 finishes (which have been almost as rare as someone getting all three right in
 the right order) - and he pulled of this achivement in his own group nonetheless, making him 
the only one to not get points from his own group. 

I think I have counted points right, but if you disagree let me know and I will check your points carefully. But no matter what this have turned out to be a clear win for OxTheArtist, the only guy here not actually playing in the league! CONGRATULATION!! I will set up a game to transfer the 100 coin prize :D

I'm joining for season 5, if it's still possible. YOLO!
