Player of the Week -- Final StandingsMon, 29-Nov, thru Bloody Mary "Sunday Special"
Entering play today 15 points separated
socksey in first place with 62 points and
vegas_vic with 47 points in the Player of the Week points race.
LuckyDice and
zbilbo held third place with 31 points, but were too far back to contend for first place.
Indeed, only one unique combination of events could propel
vegas_vic into first place. First,
socksey would have to lose in round 1 or not play at all -- the latter was unlikely to happen. Second,
vic must win -- any lesser finish would not earn sufficient points. Third, the win needed to be worth at least 16 or 17 points more than
socksey score for the day -- so, registration also entered into the equation for a
vegas_vic victory.
In what proved to be a perfect finsh,
vegas_vic scored the win in a field of 25 players and
socksey was knocked out in round 1 by
gaspar. With a nice touch of irony,
vic faced and defeated
gaspar in the Bloody Mary finals resulting in the following final score in the Player of the Week race:

So, with one dramatic finish,
vegas_vic eclipised what appeared to be a record setting week for
socksey, formerly know as our FIBS dominatrix. Congrats on a most exciting finish,
vic.
Seeding by Reverse RatingMost readers are familiar with the controversy of seeding by rating being tagged as "unfair". In order to address, not necessarily settle, that debate, the seeding order for the Bloody Mary may be Reverse Rating for weeks 9-16 for this season or some other adaptation. In reverse rating seed order first round byes will be automatically assigned by TourneyBot to the lowest seeds by rating. In order to better illustrate what happens with such seeding, I took the time to recreate today's tournament in Challonge. Each player is shown with his or her FIBS rating. The grey numbers to the left of the player name is the seed order. Take a look at the bracket for a better understanding.

The Average Points per Tourney cumulative table remains a good indicator of player strength in tourneys over the last two weeks. this category is limited to players who compete in a minimum number of tourneys per week, currently 2 per week or a total of 4 tourneys. I am still thinking at least 2-4 per week will be a good threshhold.
Top 10 -- Average Points per TourneyFour or more tourneys (2 per week) since 22-Nov-10
