I would like to thank you all for your participation in this first of its kind, RB tournament using a ‘black and white’ minded rule set. I know that for some it has been difficult to adjust to the strict rules and penalties. As the tourney progressed, I did recognize that some adjustments would need to be made for the next version of FC. But all in all, the tournament went smoothly as best I can tell but only you the players know for sure, if you had fun and if the tournament met your expectations for clarity and fairness of format.
Now to the report.
#1. per eM, the scorekeeper adjusted the TGB for one game that was incorrectly scored.
#2. there were three violations of rule 19-iv, ‘entering upon a repair drome’.
#3. we had one server glitch for multiple deaths and a correction thereof.
#4. there were two violations of Rule 41 ‘exits in flight’
#5. there was one violation of Rule 41-i ‘illegal exit’ at the end of a game along with a claim for a kill thereof.
#6. we had two server glitches for non recording of mech deaths
#7. the server went bonkers one time and did not generate any rbsm logs for either game.
#8. we had one request for a replay of a match under Rule 02-i, which was recinded.
#9. there were 52+ flying pilots participating in FC, divided amongst the eight squads
#10. All requests score corrections were completed within four days of game play
Thanks to all those SR’s involved for their negotiations of the various errors. I think this demonstrates how effective a B&W rule set can be. The SR’s understood and self-corrected the request for point errors within themselves and without much involvement by the eM.
#11. the final scores are as follows:
398.0 - Team 1 (J30) - - 1st
349.0 - Team 2 (AB1) - - 2nd
257.0 - Team 3 (J5)
320.5 - Team 4 (PJ/LE) - - 3rd
310.5 - Team 5 (JGS4)
279.5 - Team 6 (J9/BH)
306.0 - Team 7 (RAC)
278.5 - Team 8 (US95th)
We all tried something new, flying with and against one another, eight squads combined as allies and then as foes in a rotation amongst squads and on the various map sectors, I hope you all enjoyed it.
I would like to hear your input about anything you think would be helpful or critical along with any ideas or game suggestions while those thoughts are still clear in your minds. So please post your comments here so we can make the next FC game better.
Thanks to All,
Reinamann
