2023 BM playoff second bracket Avner over Sovietishcat (L+4)

@gamerman01 I think you are right, the game should count for 2024, but either way I am fine with it.
I do not know about Avner thinking…
PTV mikawagunichi (X+12) over Avandoo via russian incompetence

@Sovietishcat It’s 2024 unless I’m told differently, thanks, that helps
Happy New Year!
No one else signed up
Making brackets now…
Alright, here’s what we have!
(I also put a copy in the ELO spreadsheet - not sure if we’ll keep them current on both, or choose one)
BALANCED MOD 2nd bracket, we have 5 players. 1, 2, and 3 get byes and 4, 5 Avner and Dawg fight in round 1 and the winner goes up against Sovietishcat
2 and 3 elche and General Disarray may begin their 2nd round game now. Cat will have to wait for Avner and Dawg. That’s right, we may have another fight between Cat and Dawg
PTV 2nd bracket, we have 3 players. #1 mikawa is going to wait for the winner of Dawg and max to play for the 2nd bracket PTV championship
And what else do we have?
Like every year, the playoffs bring us the fun of old rivalries/matchups, and brand new pairings that would probably never happen otherwise.
Last year we had “what if Pejon won the first round and played Ghostglider??”
No longer! It’s going down! Get ready to rumble.
PM that poor sap who you’re about to defeat in round 1 of the playoffs, start bidding, and do your G1’s! Happy New Year, let’s play some A&A!!
@gamerman01 Oh shoot, I get to play the legendary @Adam514 in my first playoff game here. Sounds like a good hazing for the new guy!
You can still talk 666 into participating and that changes everything. I’ll hold the elevator door for you
Or track down Gorshak
But the way the cookie crumbled… you’re the sacrificial lamb
@gamerman01 Gorshak had a personal matter that pulled him away from his games, unlikely that he will be back for a while. I’m fine riding the fast elevator down to – wait, I’m already here!
I almost forgot.
The higher (better) seed has the right to make the first bid.
Playoff brackets have been set
Look on the rankings spreadsheet or ELO spreadsheet

The last round was in 2023… I don’t know, I’m fine with it anyway. ;)
This is only relevant if you don’t manage 6 completed games in 2024 without that result. Otherwise it makes absolutely no difference.

AndrewAAGamer (axis) defeats me (Allies+20) in BM4
When you are up against a better player, you can still win with good dice.
If your opponent is a lot better, like Andrew is compared to me, you need some incredible luck and/or at least a couple of decisive battles going your way.
If however the better player consistently gets favoured by the dice gods from the very beginning to the very end - well that’s just hopeless
L23 OOB (LL) AndrewAAGamer (X) vs Pacifiersboard (L+61)
Pacifiersboard defeats AndrewAAGamer
Pacifiersboard one big mistake did not compensate enough for AndrewAAGamers 5 large mistakes. Poorly played by me and a deserved win for Pacifiersboard.

Avner (Axis) defeats MrRoboto (Allies+18) in BM4.
Axis snatched Cairo for a single turn with a sneaky move, despite being behind more than 80 IPC.
Throws like this, where I have a 90% winning position, are the reason I am not ranked higher…

@ArtofWar1947 Allies wins over @Stucifer (Axis +9) in game #2
A decisive USN victory off New Guinea was the real nail in the coffin, although if it had failed and the battle for Berlin succeeded that also would have ended the game. (Round 11, page 6 if anyone is curious!)
@HammerTime He’s been afk for awhile, but I feel comfortable saying that our game was going to be a victory for myself.
