This year, instead of the raw score, the uma/oka, or +/- score, is used to determine final standing. Within the past year, I was able to figure out a fast short cut to determine +/- numbers, which allowed manual processing to be possible. Unfortunately, as much as we tried, it became apparent, that maintaining a running score using this spreadsheet was outright impossible. Therefore, the point stick scores had to be used to determine the +/- results during the tournament. That is despite the inaccuracy of point stick scores to begin with. | |||
Nevertheless, the tabulation results verify the outcome determined by the point stick scores. If any errors are found, please let me know. | |||
A time limit was applied to ensure relative timeliness of the tournament's conclusion. Out of the ten hanchan prior to the final, only three have completed the full hanchan, all the way to the conclusion of oorasu (South 4). All the others had to be capped due to time. Until general player speed improves, it may be necessary to simply use tonpussen (East only) for preliminary games. Overall, a total of 103 hands were played, averaging 9.4 hands a game. Chombo is significantly reduced. Only one instance of chombo occurred, which involved a ron declared while furiten. Last year, five instances of chombo occurred. So, this is a great improvement. Likewise, out of the twenty players, only one opted out of the tournament midway, requiring one substitute. | |||
As far as the numbers go, all four finalists won both of their games, as they each had a combined +/- result greater than 100. As a result, this produces a large difference between the finalists and the rest of the field. In comparision, not a single player produced a +/- aggregate greater than 60. Ultimately, the finals feature the four strongest players of the field, that day. In total, twenty-two hands resulted in mangan or greater. Some of the notable ones include Jason's haneman on table 5, which included rinshan kaihou. Two in table 4 included a baiman that dropped Kevin to 1000 pts. However, he saved himself in oorasu with an open chiinitsu for mangan, which allowed him to gyakuten (surpass) and pull out of fourth into third. No sanbaiman nor yakuman were scored | |||
in the tournament. | |||
Going into the final, neither Aaron nor Taka were subject to ron during their first two games. Eventually, Taka takes the championship without being subject to a single ron, as he ended Aaron's clean streak. | |||
