College Football Done Right [Winner: _big_easy_]

[flexmaster33]

I may not be able to play football anymore. My bones were crushed by bones--He probably leads by thirty after the first quarter. I am in a lot of pain. Utah will need to start coming back in the second quarter this time. Ouch--I can wait and the word is can wait for that first quarter score to be posted.

Nice job bones!!

Texas leads 20-0 at the end of the first quarter

question-
what if the game ends before the end of round 5, and the winning player holds the territory bonus?
does that still count?

[_big_easy_]

First Quarter results for game #3858838 1st Q Rose Bowl — #4 Alabama vs. #5 USC

Alabama gets 7 pts for winning,
7 points for winning in 7 rounds or less (round 7)
3 points for territory bonus
3 points for getting 12 or more owned card/landmass bonuses (24!!!! Oh so close!)
2 points for preventing opponent from getting owned card/landmass bonus

Alabama 22, USC 0.

Is this right?

[flexmaster33]

Alabama, Boise State and Texas take early leads...Ohio State vs. Florida is just kicking off.

Second quarters will go out Friday.

Yes...if the game ends before Round 5 then whoever holds the territory battle will get the 3 pts, and yes, Alabama you have the scoring correct.

Updated bracket and scoreboards are up.

[flexmaster33]

Scores updated through Friday night...look for the 3rd quarter maps at some point over the weekend.

oh sure, wait until _after_ i tally up (and violently re-hash, thanks!!!!) my thrashing at the hands of Night Strike to post the updates

FLEXMASTERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!
/shakes fist at heavens

[HighlanderAttack]

Wow-looks like more blow outs.

Utah has come back after they did not show up in the first quarter. The medics put some casts on and we added extra padding so that bones could stop crushing us. We should have a great game in the second half.

[flexmaster33]

all right guys...a lot of good quarterfinals games that are going to be decided in the fourth quarter...those maps are going out in a moment...flex

[Night Strike]

Shouldn't I have received +3 points for earning 12+ troops?

2008-12-22 21:16:30 - Night Strike receives 4 troops for holding Leningrad Army
2008-12-22 21:16:30 - Night Strike receives 8 troops for 25 regions

Sorry, you're reading that wrong...it's not troops gained in a single turn...

It's troops earned by landmass bonuses and owned card bonuses over the duration of the game. In this case, your 4 troops for the Leningrad Army would count toward that, but the region troops aren't factored into the total...sorry if there was confusion on that. I hope it makes sense now.

Utah completely destroyed Texas after dropping in a huge deficit after the first quarter. Good luck to the Utes the rest of the way!

[flexmaster33]

all right three of the quarterfinals are complete (see updated bracket in first post), and we finally got a final score in Ohio State's first round 62-7 win over Texas Tech.

The fourth quarterfinal game has USC and Alabama tied a 28-28 going into the 6th round on the Arctic map. The Trojans won the territory battle to tie it up, but the Tide is sitting on a +6 continent bonus and appears to have the upper hand. Assuming Alabama goes on for the win, the semifinals look like this...

#2 Florida vs. #6 Utah
#9 Boise State vs. #4 Alabama

I'll get those games started Friday or Saturday...hope everyone's having fun with the tourney, especially now that the real bowl games are on TV 24-7. And thanks for playing to those who have recently been eliminated.

The fourth quarterfinal game has Alabama ahead of USC 31-25 going into the 6th round on the Arctic map. The Crimson Tide won the territory battle to go up by a field goal, but the Trojans have a fantastic coach in Night Strike. Assuming Alabama goes on for the win, the semifinals look like this...

God, I'm a dumbass. Ignore my previous post, you were right, flex. Somehow I totally blanked on _HIM_ having the territory.

BAH HUMBUG

[_big_easy_]

Score for the 4th quarter of the Rose Bowl between Alabama and USC is 17-3.

Alabama gets 7 points for winning,
3 points for winning in 10 rounds or less (rd 9),
and 7 points for getting 25 in owned card/landmass bonuses (31).

So Alabama takes it, 45-31.

Suggestion-can you put the territory up on the front next to the listed maps we will be playing on? This way they are all up there.

how come utah gained an extra 2 points when i cashed in a blue set???

[flexmaster33]

how come utah gained an extra 2 points when i cashed in a blue set???

Because there wasn't any bonus attached to it...no owned-card bonus.
