I don't think any of us is playing. We didn't register.Frauny Von Smiley wrote:I still require the Skype ID of the following people who I am under the impression are still playing:

At the moment we have five teams registered, so if there is anybody who wishes to register at the last minute that would be enormously helpful.

The easiest solution may just be for me to drop. At this point, it looks like I would be playing solo, anyway.

Did you get my email/are you counting the team of me + Ben Zhang among these five? If so, we can drop to even out the field if a sixth team doesn't register.Frauny Von Smiley wrote:At the moment we have five teams registered, so if there is anybody who wishes to register at the last minute that would be enormously helpful.

Actually, it looks like a work project is going to keep me from having enough free time to play. So, I think I am definitely out, unfortunately.

The tournament information will be sent out later today.
I still need email addresses from Ben Zhang, Corry Wang, Kevin Wang, Hidehiro Anto, and Jonathan from Rutgers. I am also missing Jonathan from Rutgers' Skype ID.

It is a mistake to think you can solve any major problems just with potatoes.

Nick let us know yesterday that he was out for Oxford Open, so we may have a spot on our team (it depends on if the person I've asked responds).

After being tied going into a one game final, team 35 Tons of Fake Egyptian Butter (Eric Douglass, Jacob O'Rourke, Jake Sundberg, and Rama Rangaraju) defeated team The Bread of Our Generation (Benji Nguyen and Ben Zhang) to win the tournament.
I am working on stats right now.

Re: Announcement: Oxford Open North America Online (03/01/20
I only played the last game and half of the second-to-last game with Jasper, so my GP should be 1.5
EDIT: There also seem to be a significant number of stat errors for Tejas/Mike/Kenji/Doug team. Most dramatically, Doug seems to have fixed his negging problem by getting negative five negs in a game - a truly astonishing feat! There's also a round where they are listed with something like 1 PPB.

Likewise, Jacob O'Rourke did not play round 5 and most (if not all) of round 6.

I missed round 4 after tossup 13, round 5 and round 6 until tossup 17 (I had to take a friend back home to St. Louis, because the weather yesterday got pretty bad).Frauny Von Smiley wrote:Stats are complete and can be viewed here.
EDIT: I see Rama ninja'd me, but I figure specifics on what rounds I missed would be helpful.

I'll look into all of this. I've been running on little sleep the past few days so it's entirely possible that I made a few mistakes.

Round 3's score between Benji and Jonathan/Alejandro seems a bit low - perhaps this is the right score but it seems really low compared to the others.
