I'm not sure what you mean.  What scores?

Championship points mostly. 

still not sure what you mean. the boards are all individually live and are able to be played on their own. the votes here are simply to divvy out some monies to the creators. all the wins/losses/champ points/rankings/etc on these boards all started fresh when they got promoted to live status.

And will continue to be Live and available for Ranked play after the competition is over.

I believe Beastlymaster was referring to the idea of combining them into one board after the tournament.

Thanks Alpha.  Kind of scary when other people are in your brain.

Sometimes I have insight, but mostly I am just lucky at guessing.

"tournament" = "contest"

oh - that's not going to happen, right?  I think we decided it was best to just leave them all separate.

That's my understanding.

Is the castle siege theme finalized?

I think it is.  Several people voiced their approval, and no one dissented, so I think that is the next theme.  Further discussion and schedule in this thread:

Soooo...... We could use some more voting because interpreting WT's vote with ties may end up mattering. For WW, I just moved up the votes like Oz said, and for WT I averaged the places: 1st + 2nd is 5, so the two tied firsts I gave 2.5, and since 3rd is 1, I gave the two ties thirds 0.5. Using that, and some mistake-prone counting, I have a tie at third place (which is close among three maps). There is a strong, but not overwhelming lead at second, and a very strong first.

So hopefully we'll get some last-second voters to mess up the pollsters' predictions :)

if i redid mine, would it help?

Hard to say - depends on the late voting. If you changed it, it might re-tie things! The latest vote broke ties and we might get more votes coming in. Also, I think 2.5-2.5 and 0.5-0.5 is the only "reasonable" way to break down your vote. I'm surprised we didn't anticipate this in advance :)

I'll withhold my votes unless someone else votes. -- I haven't been paying any attention to who's ahead for whatever that's worth.

You really should just vote - it reflects actual opinion more that way. It's unlikely to end tied.

WT - my vote is for you to revote, so that there is no question about how to interpret your vote.

i thought listing them as 'tied' was a pretty simple way to interpret it

if Hugh's got it worked out, then i'll wait to see if there's a necessity.

I put together a spreadsheet for the votes:

Please someone check my data entry!

Right now Rise of the Chimp has a comfortable lead. 

I'll post that link in the main voting thread on Friday once it is final, but wanted to make it public now so that no one else would duplicate my effort.

I also changed the rules to state that votes have to be ranked 1, 2, 3 or they are discarded, to reduce confusion for future competitions.  And I made a couple of other additions/clarifications, so feel free to read them here:

For Mad Bomber and Krock you interpreted "Pangaea - Rise of the Chimp" as "Pangaea". (This affects the 3rd place race.)
