That round was terrible for me, I made more than 20 combos 200-250 and more than 30 floors 500-600 x_x.

Congrats Roman .

Are you mad Roket.  I'd have to break my floor and combo records by 200 and 100 florrs to stop you getting 7+ points.

I'm just hoping I can get 3 and not 2 points.  For that I need about a 1100 floor and a 200000 score.

Very close Morten.

And Mizi accidently added an extra 0 on the end there.

I have got 3 points.
Combo 433 (with a record MC) = Score - 243924

You can take a break in the next round for a start, maybe that gives you enough time to solve the problem (and 5 more points). If you still can't play then, we can probably just freeze your points and keep you in the ranking, but without matching any other players against you.

But can you tell me what about Jacob, I saw his ISC5 floor 2008, and I must say that if it doesn't SD then he have a double skill than me and you together, his "speed jumping" and the jumps' style (as a combo style) remind the Strack's style, in another words, he is amazing.

Strack could risk to play this way, because he used SD. I'm not sure about Jacob, because his keypresses say "close to normal speed", so such a SD setting wouldn't make much sense, but who knows? On the other hand, Mizi's recent floor record is quite amazing, too, because of similar combo style jumps.
The problem I see with this style is, that it's too risky to be successful after a certain point, probably floor 2000. In some situations you have to delay your jumps to make the right choices and that's not possible in combos.

Even though D_vonk still hasn't posted anything, I can already start the next round:

Pairings for Round 5:

Roket vs. Bobo
Craven vs. PaperclipGames
Mizi Mace vs. Morten
Roman Nock vs. Davo
King DareK vs. Baswai
FishFinger vs. D_vonk
N1kola takes a break (automatic 5 points, 7 points for above average results)

The updated ranking will probably be posted by Davo in a few minutes. Thanks for the checking the replays again, Davo!

Have fun!

What, me against Craven? How is this possible?

[Mizi Mace]

A wonderful good morning,

it is possible, because of using the Swiss System. There, no pairing should play against each other two or more times. Usually first and the second, the third and the fourth, .. play each other. In this way, if a pairing isn't possible, so the pairings change, e.g. the first vs. third, the second vs fourth, ... It can become extreme and the first plays against the 10th. Here the second plays against the eighth. I think there will many such extreme pairings, because we play a huge number of rounds.

Take a look at the ranking in the first post again (after I update it in a few minutes). You're not eighth as Mizi says, but fourth (!), and that's partly because the result of your match against Jacob was changed in your favor!

Btw, sorry about the confusion with the ranking. Even though the Swiss system obviously proves to be flexible in this tournament, the complexity of the rules might make some of my recent decisions seem a bit arbitrary (although I still think they are reasonable). Next year we should probably return to the plain old playoff system again.

Roket vs. Bobo

Are you sure that I need to fight against my brother?
I don't have time to play this days/round (School )
So I can lose this time. (or not)
