I ran the two Whirlpools (results here),
Jon Challis ran the Who Wants Some, Andrew Davidson the Final Brawl (I
expect you will get the results from them)Well, I was kinda hoping that someone else might have posted the "Who Wants Some?" results, since embarrasingly I won it.....
The WWS tourney comprised of 26 entrants, and ran from midday on Friday until midday on Sunday, although I took in preliminary results from players at 10:00 on Sunday since most of them were participating in the Final Brawl that commenced then! Only the number of wins were counted, not win/loss ratio's, as was announced at the start.
I can even honestly say that I didn't devote *that* much time to it (not nearly as much as I'd hoped anyway!) since I was running product demo's and participating in rpg's etc...
Anyway, top-line results were as follows :
1st Place Jonathan Challis (Me!) 14 Wins
2nd Place Ron Wheelhouse 9 Wins
Felicity Challis 9 Wins
3rd Place Ivan Hartley 8 Wins
Of particular note were Ivan's score, since he only arrived at Saturday lunchtime, and Felicity, who did well throughout GenCon considering that she is only 13 years old, and doesn't get to play that often.
After some back checking at the end, my win/loss ratio was about 75% (win), but I have no way of determining the other contestants.
One thing that I did note, was that those players who knew all the YotD decks intuitively (whether through previous playtesting, or frequent play since their release) did noticeably better than their opponents. Being able to count your opponents Killdeer's, or knowing that YotD Dra has a Cave Network, whilst YotD Arch doesn't provides a definite edge (as one would expect :).
The full details of the tournament, and all written records now reside with Z-Man games, but if enough of you smile nicely at Mike Nickoloff, they may end up on the website....
