Happy new year guys! Thanks for the invite @zango. Still occupied with school and all but I should be able to take a couple turns a day. Plus 9 is not a good number for CAS Letās make it 10 at least.
My first and crude attempt at multicolor. [Blood/Fire]/Feral.
Welcome aboard bansa
Posting matchups a little early in anticipation of no other late entries but happy to accommodate other folks wanting to get in on the action. Happy to see a lot of Green starter here (and a brave Blue starter!), a little surprised to see no White or Purple starter! Should be fun though, GL HF everyone!

Well we arenāt quite done w/ Round 4 but itās close enough I can fairly reasonably do pairings. GGs to @OffKilter and @Nekoatl , I especially liked my game w/ Offkilter and if you missed spectating it, I think it was worth a read! Some unconventional warfare in that one
I am on vacation until the 31st, so next pairings will probably be that day. Take your time w/ this round and GL HF all!

Spreadsheet Link for up to the when I mark it results
But also fine, just for you Bomber, I marked them but only because of the Bernie meme, that gave me a good giggle XD
Not just for him, thatās really appreciated!
While we still arenāt quite done w/ Round 4, I can safely give Bomber (whoās at risk of elimination) a bye and everyone else can get matched up, so that is what we shall do!
But first a so long and thanks for playing to @charnel_mouse, who was eliminated by Moby in Round 4. Better luck next tourney to our much appreciated Codex data scientist!
With only 6 players remaining rematches are inevitable at this point, Iāll be doing my best to reverse the P1/P2 assignments and avoid recent rematches wherever possible. GL HF players!
CAWS21 Round5
- [CAWS21] Round5: P1 zhavier [Anarchy]/Strength/Growth vs P2 FrozenStorm [Necromancy]/Balance/Truth
- [CAWS21] Round5: P1 Dreamfire [Necromancy]/Discipline/Present vs P2 bansa [Blood/Fire]/Feral
- [CAWS21] Round5: P1 Moby_Dick [Demonology]/Peace/Finesse vs P2 zango [Balance]/Anarchy/Peace
Bomber on bye (or possibly eliminated, weāll see how our Round4 match finishes).
Sorry for being a smartass, but:
bansa-zhavier, Moby-Dreamfire, frozen-zango would have been without a rematchā¦
Shouldnāt records matter than avoiding rematches?
It can go either way, I think. Players are matched against opponents theyāve faced the least, then according to losses as a second priority. I think this usually done by matching the least-loss players first, so the first pairing decision is giving zhavier an opponent from FrozenStorm and bansa (least-faced, least-losses), without observing that choiceās effect on other pairings. Accounting for re-matches caused by this would then come under the hostās right to hand-craft pairings to minimise re-matches, which is optional.
All this to say, Iāve done it and its more complicated than it looks.
Being itās swiss tourney, I do tend to prioritize keeping w/l within 1 over totally avoiding rematches. To zhavs point itās a tough balance and there are no perfect answers
The saga continues! We have to say goodbye to newcomer @Moby_Dick who departs in 6th place after a tough loss, thanks for joining and GG WP!
Weāre down to 5 and that means someoneās got a bye, that someone is Dreamfire this round. Weāll have 4 next round as Zango and myself are both on two losses. GL HF everyone!
CAWS21 Round 6
I know the other way around it would have been the very same for you, but four times P2 in 6 games really isā¦ Yikesā¦
I hear you, this is why the matchups are never perfect, trying to optimize three things at once canāt quite happen I randomed through the sheet and thatās what came up. That said I am not picky and am fine swapping or doing rps through an arbiter if youād prefer
Na, everything should go as you randomized it, but thanks for your offer, itās very generous and I really appreciate it!
