At least one OT game!

Good game Nonlinear. I need to recenter myself.

Seton Hall vs. Towson goes into OT!

Darn it.

Good game Mr. Bond.

Gunpowder · Post by **Gunpowder** » Fri Mar 17, 2023 12:14 pm

Upsets all over the board, and we have one going to OT.

Rass knocks out 2 seed Sybian. 3 seed Chedda and 2 seed Goodkarma also go down in the Swampass Region. Sancarlos, AB and Ryan survive huge opening round scares. Let's get to some OT action.

Wait. I thought Syb was up 2 then lost two points to rass....but I misread

Shit, you're right - trying to make my brain remember that low scores are good. I even highlighted the shit

I am disappointed in you all for not answering Uranus.

It’s hilarious that the most obvious answer, Uranus, became the most rare.

Gunpowder · Post by **Gunpowder** » Fri Mar 17, 2023 12:26 pm

They answered Pluto, hilarious.

Going to need to come up with a 2OT tiebreaker.

That is wild. We should start calling such things the Enoch answer.

Sometimes (this match) playing it safe works in this game. And then others it doesn't, part of the beauty of SC.

Thanks GPJ and good game syb.

This deserves recognition. Well played, sir, well played.

This was an all time "Potential 1-pointers I thought of and decided against because I was worried they might be wrong or too popular" round for me.

Caught a break by HDO not getting his answers in (is he OK?)

Thanks GPJ for running this.

Gunpowder · Post by **Gunpowder** » Fri Mar 17, 2023 1:02 pm

I think HDO is fine, he thought it was a bracket challenge as DiS did.

GoodKarma · Post by **GoodKarma** » Fri Mar 17, 2023 1:07 pm

Purposely didn't answer Uranus b/c I thought that would be everyone's go to.

The Sybian · Post by **The Sybian** » Fri Mar 17, 2023 1:13 pm

Motherfucking third place and I lost! Best showing I've ever had in one of these games, but I came up against a better man. Finally taking the lead on Q9, and Q10 was the one answer I confidently knew all the answers as opposed to most where I know maybe 3. Hell, I was so good I listed 10 correct answers when there were only 9! Not sure why I was confident Sweden held a Winter Games, but knowing all 9 I still managed to pick the most answered answer. I psyched myself out of answering Russia since I had 10 "correct" answers and thought maybe Moscow 1980 would count as a USSR being a different host nation that Russia. Then I would have lost on tiebreaker, so even more furstrating.

Great game Rass, and big thanks to SL for running this. Always a fun game.

It's measured in A&W's per square kilometer.

Nonlinear FC · Post by **Nonlinear FC** » Fri Mar 17, 2023 1:26 pm

Not for nothing, but I think I've caught a scoring glitch after Q2. I have to go into a meeting, but I'll double-check that math. It's a -3 point swing in AB's favor that I think should've gone the other way.

Gunpowder · Post by **Gunpowder** » Fri Mar 17, 2023 1:29 pm

It looks ok to be but let me know what it is and I'll take a closer look

I doublechecked it too and it seems right. Not that I'm biased.
