| Looking at the MN qualifier, it looks like there were three Gith monk bands, and there were two Young master's used. But in the warband & Piece stats below you list two Gith Monk bands and Young Master used only once...
Did you not update the stats fully yet? (just the warbands used?) | |

| Your percentages are off also. They should be:
Qualifying:
LG: 46.4% (13)
CG: 7.1% (2)
LE: 25.0% (7)
CE: 21.4% (6)
Winning:
LG: 28.6% (2)
CG: 14.3% (1)
LE: 14.3% (1)
CE: 42.9% (3)
Rounded to one decimal.

| Wow, that is some nice attendence, 23 being the smallest so far and hitting 53.
Jesse, thanks for compiling all this data, it is facinating to read how all the different bands are doing. I find it so interesting that LG is having the highest number of showings, but CE is still the highest number of wins. I also find it interesting to see that each faction has at least one win, so as of right now they seem fairly even. We'll see at the end how everything pans out though. | |

Yeah attendance looks very good this year. Arizona was 8 last year I think and they hit 20 it looks like. Edmonton is going to pull smallest with 11 it appears unless one of the last ones hit's very very small. | |

Edmonton was tiny, there was only 11 people. 7 from Calgary, 1 from Red Deer, 1 from somehere else, and 2 from Edmonton. Most of the Edmonton crew didn't come because they didn't think it would be worth it too them.
Next time WotC lets do it in Calgary! Valley of the Mage, and soon (hopefully) Phoenix Comics are wonderful places! | |

| Two recommendations:
For the purposes of warband statistics, I think that if the final game of the tournament went unplayed, the two warbands should each be listed as 1st place tie. I think that happened at Alberta and Mass this week, as well as UT awhile ago. Even if one player was truly dropping from the tournament, as opposed to the much more likely prize splitting, and dropping only as a DCI requirement to any prize split agreement, there's still no reason to pick one *warband* over the other, in terms of warband statistics.
Secondly, I'd like to see each warband's final record listed.

The purist in me doesn't like this. I agree that it's not quite right to list them as 1st & 2nd, but I also think it's not quite right to list them as 1st and 1st.
To *truly* be 1st place, a player needed to win one more match, and neither player did so.
I think some other type of notation (for both players) would be appropriate: S for split?

| Well, I'd want it listed as something like
1t: Name / Warband
1t: Other Name / Other Warband
That should make it clear that neither player won the tournament outright.
Probably for purposes of faction breakdown of winners, the way I'd do it, at least, would be to count each tied warband as half a winner. In the case of the MA qualifier, for example, both warbands were the same faction, anyway, so the faction of the winner from MA was LG regardless.

This is a good point.
In the Mesa qualifier, had I won my last match, I almost certainly would have made top 4 with a 4-2 record. (I had a huge OMW%.) If I did win that last match, however, I would have dropped from the tournament *before* the single-elim finals in order to not take up a qualification spot. (I'm judging the championships, so it serves absolutely no tactical purpose for me to take up a qualification spot.) If I had done so, I would still expect the folks in the single-elim portion to be listed as 1-4 on the above list. | |

Well, no, that's different. The games were played, and there's a tiebreak in place to determine top 4.

Well, I guess my point is that I *do* think it matters the reasoning behind the drops. If there's a $500 cash prize, and the players split it $250 apiece, why should the maxminis warband stats list one warband as first, and the other as second?
Sure, if the person drops because, well, the person wants to drop that's one thing. But if the person drops only as a technicality, because he, well, has to, that's something totally different.
I've seen the finals of tournaments NOT played many times. I've never thought one guy won over the other.

| But if you want to look at this and determine which band is most likely to get you first place or what you should be worried about playing, then a band that went 5-0 and dropped one might say is better than a band that went 3-2 and got in on tiebreakers. To just list things with no drop information makes it significantly less useful.
And it would be extremely useful to know who just missed the qualification by tiebreakers, since tiebreakers are completely random and have nothing to do with quality of warband or skill of player. Losing on tiebreakers just means you had the bad luck of playing a weaker opponent 1st and possibly 2nd round. The only thing you could do is change your name to Aaron Aaronson and hope that alphabetical order has something to do with it. | |

| | Keeping track of who failed to get in based on tiebreakers is beyond the scope of this particular article. Besides, losing can just be a result of the strength of your opponents (or the relative power of your warbands) rather than any weakness of your band or play skill. | |

| | If you wish to keep track of those warbands who failed to make it in based on tiebreakers that is your perogative. Other people are tracking other bits of data (relative commander ratings and such) on here. But the purpose of this thread, as noted in the initial sentence, is to keep track of the Top 4 warbands. I have added a few items that I feel interested enough in to track. The people who did not make Top 4 are not included in that. | |

Tie-breakers are less effective in DDM than in games like MTG. This is an artefact of the fact that in DDM games = matches. It is still far from random however. When all tie-breakers are tied (happens much more often in DDM than in other games), then the final tie-breaker is entry time into the tournament. | |

| 4. Ricardo Boronat (8, +3, Young Master, 4 Githzerai Monks, Aramil, Hill Dwarf Warrior, Man-at-arms) Map: Dragon Shrine
Just want to make a clarification to my warband - I was playing on King's Road and ran a Human commoner instead of a Hill Dwarf Warrior.
Not that it impacted the match greatly, but that little fact kinda hurt in my first of 2 consecutive mirror matches vs. John Siadek since he could potentially collect 3 easy points from my human commoner with Aramil MM's while I couldn't.

| Please correct my warband.
On the MD Qualifier, I used:
Sword Archon
Sacred Watcher x6
Warforged Scout
And my map was Broken Demongate. No artificers or wolfs for me! | |
