Well, that’s it for another year. The Omegathon 2013 has come to a close.
But before we announce the winner, we’ve got to cover that final game of the semi-finals first.
Our two finalists were:
Congratulations to the two of you; and commiserations to Keith Johnston and Jamie Newton.
Now then, on to the Grand Final.
Well…we done derped.
To explain: after we saved the four vehicles to one save file for the final Omegathon Semi-final game, Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, we realized that each player is forced to sign in with different profiles for multi-player, no guests, where they are unable to access the blueprints for other profiles.
In short, we should have tested this.
Since we couldn’t skip this game (both semi-final rounds are tied), we decided to postpone the final game, and subsequently the Grand Final, a week so we can sort this out. We apologize for this.
In the mean-time, here’s the scores for the Semi-Finals so far…after the jump.
‘Til next time.
We’re getting close, people. We just have two rounds to go of this years tournament, so let’s quickly go over the results of the quarter finals first.
Our two unfortunate drop-outs are:
Better luck next year guys. This does mean that our four semi-finalists are:
Result charts for both rounds are the quarter-finals after the jump.
The semi-finals AND grand final are next week, so ‘til then.
Not too long ago, in a union not too far away, the Loser’s Bracket was held. Here is the outcome.
We have two winners of the Loser’s Bracket: Ross Coleman and Stewart Pitt.
Congrats to these two for successfully selling out for the sake of potential glory.
So, our six quarter-finalists are:
The quarter finals will be held next week. What will happen? Only one way to find out.
Before I go, I have one more thing to bring up here. Next weekend is the annual Torcher’s Parade, where we have teamed up with the Toast Society to try and create our own float for the parade in the name of charity. Unfortunately, none of us four committee members will be able to attend or help out. However, Gaming member/Toast Vice President Liam Siaw has generously offered to take the helm on this one. If you are willing to help out with the build on the weekend of the 27th April, or just need some more information before making a decision, please speak to Liam before Friday. We need a decent idea of the headcount before we can go ahead with this. If you can’t contact him personally, then e-mail him through due to a headcount lower than we needed, we will not be having our own float this year. We apologize for those who had agreed to help out.
‘Til next time.
So, we have our winners of the four teams so far for the Omegathon, but that doesn’t mean we’re done with letting people in to the Quarter-Finals.
Welcome to the Loser’s Bracket, where we give either those who didn’t succeed in the group stages; or those who never entered; the opportunity to jump in and take their place in the Quarter-Finals…at the cost of their dignity.
So, what kind of depraved amusement have we got in store for you?
After some infuriating mishaps with Hogs of War and the lightning round that was Crash Bash, the final round of this year’s Group Stages comes to a close.
Which means, we have some winners now.
The score tables will be after the jump as always, but I’ll announce the group winners here first:
Congratulations to all of our winners. But fear not, losers! You’ll have a chance of redemption next week.
‘Til then.
The fourth and final round of the Omegathon group stages is almost upon us. Time for us to reveal the penultimate game for our four groups.
Cars were flipped, questions were answered, round 3 of the ‘Thon was played.
One rule that was decided by our president this week that I should highlight: If you do not attend a group stage round and do not have someone to take your place; or if you purposely/excessively dick about, you will be scored zero points. Luckily, the latter has not yet come up yet.
Also, if there’s a “?” in the score table, it’s a round that the relevant participant will need to redo at a later stage.
One last thing, the next round for the Omegathon will be the final group stage.
Score tables and Colin McRae time trial times after the jump.
Week five three of the Omegathon, so time for a new set of games. What’s game five going to be?
Well…
Well, that’s our N64-themed round complete. Let’s go over the scores.
Two things first though:
Current results and Wave Race scores after the jump.
‘Til next time
