Yourturnmyturn.com :: View topic - Tournaments which can go to the quarter finals

Tired of waiting for your tournament to progress? If all quarter finals are determined, but some players with low rankings are still playing, the tournament will not go to the quarter finals. In that case, you can mention the tournament here and we will see what we can do.

Rules:

We can only start the quarter finals manually, not the other stages!
Before you mention a tournament, please doublecheck if the quarter finals really can start.
You don't need to mention tournaments in which all games are finished, they will go to the quarter finals automatically the next day.
We would appreciate if you include the URL in your address bar in your post, so something like this: http://www.yourturnmyturn.com/toernooi.php?toernooi=23
Posts will be removed after we read them, if your post has disappeared either you were wrong or we have put the tournament to the next round.

This is no longer needed, we have an automatic algoritme now that can calculate this accuratly. Thanks to Frank Nestel.

I have a question. If a tournament moves on to a quarterfinals using the algorithm, even if one player in the quarterfinals has not finished all games from the group round, will the player's TPR rating automatically update once those group games are finished? I am assuming yes, given the fact that TPR obviously updates for quarterfinal matches as they are finished. But I want to make sure, since it can affect tournament outcomes.

Here's an example in which it could. Take a look at this tournament. We just moved on to the quarterfinals, presumably because of the algorithm, despite the game between fritzd and redpistol still being unfinished from the group round. The algorithm has correctly determined that fritzd will win his group and move on whether he wins that game or not. However, right now, his TPR rating is lower than his quarterfinal opponent, because the TPR calculation is counting 5 wins out of 10 games. If he ends up winning his last group game, that would give him 6 wins out of 10, which would actually boost his TPR over his quarterfinal opponent (by 1 point...), meaning he would only have to win 2 out of the 4 quarterfinal games to move on instead of the 3.

I can always wait and see what happens, of course, but I figured I'd ask first anyways.

Yes TPR will be updated if any group games finishes during quarter final, of course!
