would be glad if u join the next HLL online league which starts soon! the tournament-structure will be similar to last time
http://www.magicplayer.org/forum/index.php?topic=846.0

for the invitational Online Championships you have to "qualify" through HLL Season rather Highlander Online Rating http://www.magicplayer.org/forum/index.php?topic=121.0

this time there won't be any wildcards for the tournament cause 8 ranked players are already in

Sorry Christoph :-[, me culpa - i haven't expected that many interested person as it took quite a while to find 8 participants last year. So LasH had the chance to participate even w/o any HLL ranking with a "wildcard" in last year's Online Invitational Championship in which he reached the finals

this year it's way different, unexpected we have 9 ranked players already + one other GP Top 8 player who wants to join, the tournament takes place with the 8 highest ranked HLL Online Players

i pondered a while if i should change the structure, e. g. elimination contest for seat 5-8 or extend he number of seats for the tournament but decided to stay with this structure of 8 players as usual, so actually pyyhttu fills the last spot of the tournament as long no higher-ranked player wants to join

in short meaning: no wildcards this year

??? I have nothing to do with the online tournaments but this looks really awkward to me. Nice move.

Post by: Vazdru on 15-01-2013, 01:02:02 PM
@MMD - you are right, my mistake
i should have made clear(er) that the "special invitation" has been an invitation to sign in which doesn't guarantee taking part in the action
if 2 Top 20 players would like to join i had even to disinvite pyyhttu and LasH - that's part of the tournament structure

that's why i said sorry ... any suggestion for doing anything else @ MMD  ???

Sure. Don´t cancel an invitation and let only 7 top ranked players attend...

First of all: I would really like to have nemavera in this tourney, that's why i've given him that "special notice"

by mistake i announced this pointer as "special invitation"
i gave such a pointer to nemavera, pyyhttu, LasH, ChristophO and randomizer
so why should i replace pyyhttu, LasH or randomizer by nemavera ? would this solve this "problem" - imo no it doesn't cause everyone of them got the same "special invitation"
so I've kept the standing order untouched which means the highest ranked players in the ladder have the right to join the tournament nevertheless everyone is welcome to sign in
Title: Re: [LADDER TOURNAMENT 2012]Registration
Post by: MMD on 15-01-2013, 04:03:09 PM
Again, it´s not my part of business. My name is not nemavera and I am not a friend of him (I don´t even know him except that I watched the final). But if I would have invited someone to a tournament I would have made sure that he can attend in case he accepts the invitation. It seems we have a different understanding about "inviting someone". I really do not wanted to discuss this in detail here in the forum. I just shaked my head and dropped my commentary. That´s all.

Post by: Vazdru on 15-01-2013, 04:13:13 PM
what part of the expression "sorry, mea culpa" and "my mistake" you don't understand ?!?

I've already said you were right in your analysis and i was wrong
Title: Re: [LADDER TOURNAMENT 2012]Registration
Post by: MMD on 15-01-2013, 04:42:36 PM
calm down

Sure you apologized for it but that doesn't made it less awkward to me, so I just dropped a line to express my lack of understanding. Thats all. Have fun with your tournament!

coldcrow paid fee already and sent me a decklist...however he would like to change it but couldn't because of "technical problems" - i didn't get in touch with him (no responses on my last PMs) so i start tournament as sheduled

nevertheless coldcrow has the chance to change his decklist / security code as long no match has been played
to give equal rights to all players everyone is allowed to use this opportunity

security codes will be locked for all players if first match has been [EDIT: started] or Monday 10 pm CET whatever occurs first

Some clarification, I didn't send Vazdru a decklist, he assigned a very old and bad one to me. I found that unfair, but didn't want to delay the tournament any longer by pulling out.

sorry, but i have to do some clarification as well, bc you indirectly (or directly?) call me a liar

u've sent me that decklist...but a year before

i couldn't say so in a public message as your opponents were still able to fix their decklists / btw you've never played that deck for reasons everyone can easily check here: http://www.magicplayer.org/forum/index.php?topic=762.0

a phone call or any reaction to one of my three pms would have been enough to get another deck, but i couldn't get in touch with ya - that little thing u've forgotten to mention - I can make that private messages public if u like to

the alternative would have been to drop ya out of the tournament because u missed every deadline for delivery - everythin else would have been unfair to the remaining players imo

anyhow  - i don't like to start a flame war (again)... i thank you for your cooperation but would have preferred to get such infos in a private message instead of a public posting (which sounds like a charge) ... thanks for your understanding
