Why do I seem to have no games as mono red?

54

Because I didnā€™t worry about keeping the Hares balanced across their deck choices - I just pulled a random one for each match.

@EricF; Very interesting statistics, thanks for providing them. Curious to see how they compare to future tournaments, and change as the playerbase becomes more familiar with the game and how they like to play it.

I went ahead and added some extra games to make up for some of the slower Tortoises. If you now have 3 games and want to wait for your lagging game to finish, just say so in the game thread, and Iā€™ll give your opponent another game.

Half-way point standings for the top 4 slots:

Top Tortoise - the Tortoise with the most wins:

  1. Anemone (5)
  2. Mooseknuckles (4)
  3. petE (4)
  4. Jadiel (3)
  5. PointyFinger (3)
  6. YoungBuck (3)
  7. petE (3)
  8. cstick (3)

Top Hare - the Hare with the most wins, counting only matches in the Hare vs. Hare round-robin

  1. EricF (3)
  2. Marto (2) - note that the match between EricF and Maro is ongoing, and will likely decide this slot!

Best Win % - the player, regardless of animal, with the highest percentage of matches won (Minimum 4 matches completed)

  1. Marto - 100%
    1a. Jadiel - 100% (only 3 matches completed)
  2. Mooseknuckles - 80%

Designerā€™s Intent - a player who used only a single mono-color (no neutrals) deck for all matches, and did not have a match adjudicated against them for delay of game. (Minimum 4 matches completed)

  1. Anemone (5-2)
  2. Jadiel (3-0)
  3. zhavier (3-2)
  4. FrozenStorm (2-2)

Note that if anyone ends up with more than one slot, the remainder go to the top of the overall standings, which currently sit at:

  1. Marto (5-0) as a Hare
  2. Anemone (5-2) as a Tortoise
  3. Mooseknuckles (4-1) as a Tortoise
  4. petE (4-2) as a Tortoise
  5. Jadiel (3-0) as a Tortoise
  6. PointyFinger (3-1) as a Tortoise
  7. YoungBuck (3-1) as a Tortoise
