Posts from Good versus Evil - II Auto-translated

Stannis-Mannis disappeared about two or three weeks ago, and I haven't seen him since. If necessary, I can provide the exact date when I last saw him; I have it recorded. Therefore, I don't have the opportunity to start or play this game at the moment. It's likely that the judges will need to make a decision.

How will the places in the group be determined in case of a tie in wins and losses? What does it mean by this rule: "personal result of the game with players from opposing factions" if the top 4 are bad and the top 4 are good, then how will the personal result be calculated if no one in the group has played against each other? In the quarter-finals and semi-finals, is it 1 match? Is the score reset, so in the final there will be 2 remaining races playing, and then in the 3rd decisive match, all races can be played again?

Let's determine the placement by drawing lots.

For the future, it would be better to introduce something more adequate, rather than simply flipping a coin, for example, the Berger coefficient (which has long been used in the League to determine places when the scores are equal).

Flipping a coin is an anachronism. In the end, the winner is not the strongest, but the luckiest.

I understand that only one point of view is accepted here, okay, a coin toss is the most balanced way to determine the winner of a group.

Here's a simple example.
The draw determines that you're playing against Alexeagle. What's the probability that Alexeagle will be the winner? Correct, it's close to zero.
The draw determines that you're playing against, for example, Stefandmy. What's the probability that Stefandmy will be the winner? Somewhere around 30%.
The draw determines that you're playing against, for example, BOLIVAR, Boez. What's the probability that BOLIVAR, Boez will be the winner? Probably around 40%.
Or against Will/Sir_Moz/Ekzekutor. The outcome of the game (win/loss) has an equal chance (50/50).
So, where's the role of the coin toss here?
The strongest will still win...

I suggest using an analogue of the Berger coefficient to determine the rankings: the sum of the points of opponents from the opposing group that the participant defeated, plus half the points of those they drew with. For example, Stefan has a KB of 24, and Eugene has a KB of 15. DVP has a KB of 48, and Dexterwar has a KB of 51. What do you think of this indicator?

Good idea, if it's not possible to hold an additional match, then any idea to replace the random draw is better, in my opinion. Otherwise, we could end up in a situation where the final is 1-1, the third game is a draw, and the judges will flip a coin to decide the winner...

- personal result of a game against players from opposing factions;

Still, could you elaborate on this point in more detail?

Well, if player A couldn't win against player C from other factions, but player B (playing the same factions as player A) won against player C, then player B is in a more advantageous position than player A.
