Hi
Seeing as I was not present at the time of the WJT inception I certainly see this as no reason to not be involved. In the true spirit of competitions I would like to offer to anybody, contestants and all the opportunity to do a little wagering ;D I think each round for a specific group and on down the line to the final. It could start out simply with even odds .
come on don't be shy lets make this really interesting :confetti: that could be Playmobil coins and not merely confetti you will be showered with

Hey Ras, love your seaport market. Fire water looks like a tasty beverage. :hmm:
Is gambling legal in Winterhaven or would this be under the table? Wouldn't want to have a stint in the Winterhaven dungeon now would we?
It would be cool if we could create a bracket, ala march madness, for the tourny. How would the betting work exactly?

Would there not be required dice rolls to make things life like? Since real animals & humans are not being used, & it's not a virtual computer game how would an actual winner be determined, & then would it be accepted by the entire Playmofriends membership when in reality it's gambling?

Would we be gambling for actual playmo parts? ???
Or just pretend/"virtual" playmobil gold. ;)

HI
Group System
The 32 competitors will be divided into 8 groups of 4. There will be 6 matches in each group after which the two competitors with the most victories will move to the single elimination rounds. If two or more competitors are tied for 2nd place the tie breakers will be as follows:
1) Honor
2) Point difference (points scores – points opponents scored)
3) Result between the combatants
group A competitors 1,2,3,4
1 versus 2
1 versus 3
1 versus 4
2 versus 3
2 versus 4
3 versus 4
Now the two winners will move to elimination round consisting of how many rounds?
IN this area if I am not mistaken there will be over 54 betting opportunities ( 6 matches times 8 groups + 6 (or more) elimination rounds )
at this point it will get down to 8 contestants
Knock Out Phase
There will be 4 rounds to the knock out phase; Round of 16, Quarter Finals, Semi Finals and Finals. People that competed in the same group are only able to face each other in the finals.
In this area the knock out phase I am not quite sure how they are organized so could some one with knowledge please show a graph to how it will be organized ?
I would prefer to wager with real goods but if this is a problem to the community than virtual money is fine :'(

Hi Bill
It would just be betting on the luck of the rolls with simple odds for the first rounds . If person A & B each bet $1. A on jouster #2 and they are up against say B who chose #3 in a match. #2 are determined the winner of the match person A wins $2 .

Thanks for participating and getting this going Ras. I had thought about this but it owuld involve more of my time so I was running the risk of doing to much.
There are 63 matches in total.
Each group has 6 matches and there are 8 groups so thats 48 matches in the group phase.
Top 2 in each group move to single elimination rounds.
Top 16 -> 8 matches, winner moves on
Top 8 -> 4 matches
Top 4 -> 2 matches
Final
I will be posting the first round TONIGHT (say in 10 hours or so!)

HI
Yes thanks for the clarification but it would seem we do not have any gamblers in the crowd.
Do you have the list of who is matched against whom ?

Hello friends,
This jousting tournament has certainly generated a lot of excitement, and it’s great to see everyone getting in the spirit. However there has been some concern expressed over whether it is appropriate to go through with gambling on the results of this tournament. After a lot of deliberation, the moderating team has decided that we do not wish to endorse gambling here on playmofriends, and we request that members do not arrange bets here on the open forum. We feel this could lead to serious problems, and we would hate to see it spoil this epic event that is taking place. We thank you in advance for your cooperation in this matter to prevent this topic from being quarantined.
Sincerely,
The Moderating Team
