Event History and Leaderboard - 2018

Thanks! Does this reflect the effects of certain players being banned for engine use?

Yes, definitely when the new report comes out, and maybe sooner.  I also plan to make adjustments to reflect @Ast_F's fair play ban.

Thanks, @MGleason!

I know there's quite a bit of work to be done, but will the update be ready before next week?

Yes, possibly today.

Updated with the June events and to reflect @Ast_F's ban.  There were four events affected by @Ast_F's ban.  The January Saturday event is now awarded to @SmyslovFan, and the February Saturday event is now awarded to @Tudorache_M, neither of which had won an event yet this year (and @Tudorache_M had never won one of our events).  The other two affected events did not change the tournament winner.

Updated to reflect July events

Updated to reflect the August events.  @SmyslovFan has almost double the points for second place.  Playing almost every event and usually finishing near the top is a successful strategy.

I thought the August 25th event was NOT part of the tour!

It wasn't; see the footnote.

Ok, thanks. The footnote was hard to see on my phone.

Any word on when the September and October updates will be added to the event leader board?

I know you're busy. 

It's updated now.

You now have a 62 point lead with four tournaments remaining.  Therefore, for @scacchista89 (in second) to catch you would require the following:

1. He would have to win the four remaining tournaments, and you would have to finish outside the top 10 in all four.  That would narrow the gap to 2 points.

2. We would need another mid-tourney server crash that would cause us to reschedule the event but give partial credit for the status at the time of the crash.

3. He would need to pick up at least three more points than you in the partial credit tourney.

That seems unlikely.

So, you're saying there's a chance. 

Guess I still need to play in the November event.

Thanks!

If we have mid-tourney crashes in all four of our remaining events and @scacchista89 wins all four interrupted events and all four rescheduled events, he'll pick up 92 points, so you'll need to get 31 from somewhere to stay in clear first.  31 points from four full events and four interrupted events isn't a bad haul, especially without ever coming in first.

If a rescheduled event gets interrupted by a mid-tourney crash, we might potentially fit several into a month.  So we might end up with 8-10 total events if we have regular server crashes after 6-8 rounds of all our tournaments.  In that case, there would be a large number of points on offer for someone who finishes strongly in all those events.

Fortunately the server doesn't crash very often.

Well, @Scacchista89 was pretty prominent, so I'll recalculate the leaderboard to adjust for his ban when I get a chance.

I guess everyone ahead of me getting banned was my best chance at first last month

He played in quite a few events. I think I just won another tnmt cos both players ahead of me got banned.

Yeah that's got to be an annoyance to deal with given how many he's played in and had successful results. Hopefully tonight we get a clean tournament!

Yeah, I think that's our first three-ban tournament.
