2v2 tournament, Sunday, Oct. 1, 2000. 4pm PT = 7pm ET in Olympia Centre. Info and game schedule is here. There are 18 teams in 3 divisions. If you are registered and you can't come anymore, please let me know so someone else can play.
IF YOU WANT TO BE ON THE LIST, BEAT SEVERAL PEOPLE WHO ARE ON THE LIST, IN RATED 1v1 GAMES
Last Updated 9/28/00 - There is no strong #1 at this point; it was a tricky decision so don't hassle me. Because the ratings are sort of difficult to do now, I might switch to updating this page weekly only, and letting the tournaments decide who the better players are. If any of these x_y2k names are messed up, or aren't correctly assigned, let me know...

TOURNAMENT
- Sunday, Sept. 17 - 3pm Pacific, 6pm Eastern - OLYMPIA CENTRE
The tournament was lots of fun. grandia_leader won
by default in a strange final, where his opponent, towers_knockout_erupti0n,
disappeared with the score tied 1 game each. Other than the weird ending,
things went relatively smoothly.
Next TOURNAMENT - Sunday, Oct. 1, 1pm
Pacific, 4pm Eastern
The next 1v1 tournament should be on Oct. 15, if things go
as planned.
How it works:
* The way I rank players is based on rated game histories. It is a bit arbitrary in places, but I try to be fair based on both history and recent games. Eventually I'd like to make rankings based solely on tournament results, or on the votes of the people in the top 20.
* Only currently active players are allowed (sorry, no creon).
* To be on the list, you have to actively play other people on the list. If you don't, you'll be removed.
* Ratings are based on one-on-one performance.
* The list is updated once a week or more often, during normal circumstances.
* I use the ratings in part to make brackets for 1v1 tournaments, the first of which was on Sunday, Sept. 17.
* If you think my list sucks, realize that's it's not easy to make a definitive ranking. If you think I low-balled you for some reason, all you have to do to move up is beat people who are higher than you on the list. Of course the list isn't perfect, but the more you play the better it gets.
* I thought this was sort of obvious, but I think it needs to be pointed out: just because you beat someone once (say 3-0) doesn't mean that you're necessarily better than them; no one wins all the time. I have to take into account past games and the people that both players have played against in deciding rankings.
What I ask of the players:
* Play rated 1v1 games against each other (and play in series; don't quit after you win one game). If games are unrated, they're basically impossible to track because they don't appear on the game histories.
* Please pick one ID for rated 1v1 games, it makes it easier to track. Each person should only be on the list once.
* If you challenge people on the list, make sure your rating is nearly as high as theirs, so it's worth their while to play you. If you cheat or sabotage your rating in order to take points from people, I consider that grounds for removal from the list. I've found that people on the list generally have a 2300+ rating, but there are also lots of 2400+ players who aren't good enough to be on the list.
* No excuses. I know sometimes things are laggy, but there's nothing I can do. Get DSL and more RAM or something.
Who are you?
I'm Paul. I'm not as good as these players, but I rank about 2100 (qgp, nowatzki_funk, vert_alert, vertikiller). This is an impartial list and I'm not messing with the ratings cause I'm friends with people or anything like that. If you have any suggestions about the site (especially duplications in names on the list, people you'd like me to watch who you think deserve to be on, or other important comments), email me at towers_top20@yahoo.com.
