After midnight OB... after midnight

I'm in, but i will fail.

No clue at any of the teams but I'll burn ba ^_^

I'll play too. Kind of in the same boat as natasha lol. :)

bump

I'm down.. shotgun Flyers. I don't even care about sports but gotta represent the home town ya know

One hour

Vancover!

Database errors again.

Anyway I'm taking Philly since its after midnight.

up

capitols

I'm switching to Red Wings, and Duke will be Capitols. :)

Ducks I guess?

I get Habs

Tampa Bolts

bruins

I'm in, but I don't think I have time to get through all my BA today XD

So I went a different route for NHL names :)

whoops, winning percentage? my bad... but i'm coyotes xD

sabers

I might be in the same boat. To really do this tourney right. You would need close to 10-15 hours at the very least, tough to do when it's only 24 hours long. Long story short, I like sleep, exercising, and attending class, lol. :).

I'm sure some of the other CB elitist may differ.

I fully intend to run more of the one hour capped tourneys, those work better for most.

i tend to like the freedom that the 24 capped gives as far as being online during, perhaps trying them with a smaller ba pool would work for many, especially during the work week?

Novice can you extend the period of time for the tourney cuz its taking too long with the huge bonus a target cant be hit very often making its even longer.

They'll be another one soon, the time limit is part of the game in this case.

Can't burn any more BA today.

GL to everyone that will finish :D

as there is no available name i joined with the name rockets

Dang was only able to get to 432 ac Y_Y

If I drop the winning percentage to 60%

(T74) Ducks (7175453) (86%)
(T74) RedWings (6973038) (70%)
(T74) Flyers (5882715) (89%)
(T74) Habs (5226225) (96%) - Baby Cakes
(T74) Bolts (5102473) (85%)
(T74) Coyotes (4850443) (72%)
(T74) Washington V3.6 (4613231) (81%)
(T74) Canucks (4472803) (56%)

If I don't (which is my inclination considering I like making it challenging), then Nat would win...

Opinions?

I think it should stay as posted..(nat wins) Also thanks for putting up my embarrassing % :-P......wasn't the point to have the lowest win ratio with a decent mpr?

I do think the bonus % should be lowered.

Id love it but its not right... nat played the char to win by rules.

Win Percentage as I used it is listed on your 24 hour battles page.
It measures defensive losses as well, I think it added a defensive component that was interesting.

I'll drop the % for the bonus prize and make it anyone who properly entered the contest and picked a team.

ehhh, the bonus was fun to play with. i had a blast x3

Well I played for growth and not winning percentage. I was hoping to beat everyone by greater than 90% so my percentage was irrelevant. Of course with less than two hours to go Natasha decided to play lol.. Anyway I'm just saying if I knew at the beginning it would be 60% that would have changed my playing style in the tourney.

Yeah, next time I'd run something similar (I really like that win metric)I'll drop it, this time Nat put in another stellar performance and kicked butt.

A single minion tatless could probably make 8+ mil MPR in a tourney like that by the end.

Congrats Natasha, it's amazing how you always pull through in the end. Also I think baby cakes deserves an honorable mention look at that awesome win percentage..

Well I had fun either way. Now I know to leave like 300 ba leftover in these tourneys so I can crush win rates >_< ... Also to not finish before Nat's even started her run.

*crosses fingers for bonus prizes*

Nice job everyone

Nice tourney nov. To bad I never have enough patience to inspect or am to suborn to adjust my poor strat.

Great idea.
