Hello all,

after an exciting series of rounds, we are left with something of a dilemma:

We currently have Jamie and Teflon Billy on two wins, and both have one game to play (against each) other.  This will result in a clear winner, but we then left with the following in joint second:

Teflon Billy (3** or 4) or Jamie (6);
myself (4 or 5*)
Wolves Matt (4 or 5*)
Dave (4 or 5**)
Tess (3** or N/A)

We may also have a Tess (I believe her and Adam are playing their decinding game next week.

I have included in brackets the sum of their opponents points.  * Star indicates this number if Jamie wins his final match, ** if Tess wins her final match.

Therefore we are left with some options:

1.  Random draw for second and third, simplest, but may feel a little anticlimatic.
2.  Sum of opponents points scores highest (i.e. whoever fought the hardest opponents).  With a following method if that is still tied.
3.  One large multiplayer play-off match.  Players will need to keep the draft decks intact until nxt week.

Can people please let me know what method they think is best, or if there are any other suggestions?

(I also have the prize winning boosters in my room, will bring them next week).

Ok, in that case I would suggest the following:

Jamie gets two booster packs (he has effectively won with the highest aggregate score).

The rest of us get one booster pack.

If Tess loses (or does not play) her final match, the sixth booster pack goes to myself, Wolves Matt or Dave by the result of random draw.

Does that sound ok to everyone?

I'm not Werefish, I'm me (if that makes sense). I'll be there as soon as I can manage - probably around twenty past 6 at the latest.

Thanks for sorting that out meta  Smile.

I might be there on Monday (not sure yet) & would enjoy playing the theoretical final match against Jamie.

Hope everyone got some good cards and enjoyed it  Smile.

Tess, in a game that went just slightly faster than the two last week. (One playable card doesn't make for a great resistance)
