SwampCrash Invitational Cup - Group Stage, Match 2

Bensell · Post by **Bensell** » Sun Jun 14, 2015 2:20 am

I've been having some computer issues and I sure as hell wasn't going to do this on my phone. I'm going to see my brother this week so let's aim for a Thursday afternoon reveal, but if everyone isn't in it could be pushed to Friday.

Qualification for the knock out round is the top two in each group and the four 3rd place players with the best point differential. Once the field of 16 is settled they will be seeded by total score through the group stage, so being a 3rd place finisher doesn't mean you can't be a top seed. But remember that all are eligible to win the over all Golden LowScore*

GROUP A

AB 1-0 (+17) (30)
rass 1-0 (+3) (46)
Pruitt 0-1 (-3) (49)
SLolz 0-1 (-17) (47)

GROUP B

Giff 1-0 (+5) (38)
Mr D 1-0 (+16)
Kelly 0-1 (-5) (43)
Travzilla 0-1(-16) (59)

GROUP C

LJam 1-0 (+23) (27)
Carwash 1-0 (+14) (42)
Herm 0-1 (-14) (56)
BSF 0-1 (-23) (50)

GROUP D

duff 1-0 (+30) (28)
sancarlos 1-0 (+9) (49)
chedda 0-1 (-9) (58)
PDX 0-1 (-30) (58)

GROUP E

wlulax 1-0 (+3) (34)
bfj 1-0 (+16) ( 37)
rush 0-1 (-3) (37)
Jerloma 0-1 (-16) (53)

GROUP F
DC47 1-0 (+11) (40)
Sybian 1-0 (+5) (50)
Ryan 0-1 (-5) (55)
bronto 0-1 (-11) (51)

Matchups:

SLolz v. Pruitt
AB v. rass
Kelly v. Travzilla
Giff v. Mr D
Carwash v. BSF
Herm v. LJam
chedda v. duff
sancarlos v. PDX
Jerloma v. wlulax
bfj v. rush
DC47 v. Sybian
bronto v. Ryan

*That may need some work

Thanks for bumping, missed it the first time around.

Question on #8 - do different products by the same parent company count as separate "brands?"

I can't imagine. I would think, for example, AB Bourbon and AB Bourbon 10 Year and AB Bourbon CINNAMON HOTNESS would all count under the same AB Bourbon umbrella.

Bensell · Post by **Bensell** » Wed Jun 17, 2015 8:34 am

The list I have are all different names but it looks like it counts 8 year and 12 year (and other minor differences) as the same brand.

I was thinking more along the lines of: the AB Bourbon Company also makes a higher-end variety with a completely different name, i.e. Bensell Bourbon. Would those count as two different brands? Like, if this were about beer, would Budweiser and Michelob count separately even though they're both made by Anheuser-Busch?

I'm probably overcomplicating, but wanted to make sure.

There are multiple brands made by same company on the list

What does the -16 next to me represent?

Point differential - that will determine which 4 third place teams make it to the knock out stage. And for once in SwampCrash it is better to be positive in that.

If you're going to give the same answer 3 out of 5 times, you should try not to get 1 of the other 2 wrong.
