I have offered to take up the organisation of the first medal event of this years Talossalympics: Rock Paper Scissors. I would like to ask all candidates who signed up to confirm that they will be taking part. We will start the event as soon as that happens or alternatively, in 72 hours. Alèx Soleighlfred Thor Deyaert Sir X. Pol Briga Marcel Eðo Pairescu Tafial Ian Plätschisch Mohammed Siraj Lüc da Schir Vitxalmour Conductour Are you all still ready to represent your provinces in this competition? If there are no objections I would suggest the following procedure: For each game one person will serve as referee. All games in the group stage occur simultaneously. A game in the group stage is best of three. Each round both contestants send their pick (rock, paper, or scissors) by pm to the referee. After each round you will be informed of your opponents pick and all picks are published. To speed things up your total response time (the time between the start of the game/the results of the previous round and your response for all three rounds combined) for the entire group stage will be 72 hours. After a player runs out of response time all remaining rounds in the game go to the opponent. In case both run out all remaining rounds are ties. An individual game in the group stage can result in a tie, but if the entire group results in a tie sudden death rounds will be held in all games in a group simultaneously until the results change in such a way that an overall winner can be announced. For deciding the overall results we will first look at games and then at rounds. Lüc, Ian, and myself will act as referees. It might be possible for candidates who have not yet registered to participate as well. Let me know and I'll see what I can do (in coordination with Alex).

Note that part of the proposed rules were based on groups of three. If that doesn't happen because of a different number of candidates (which seems likely) I will propose an amended set of rules.

Right there are three candidates I haven't heard from. I still think we should proceed though, because there will always be some reason to wait. Of course these candidates can still participate in other events.
Sadly this leaves us with seven candidates (including GV), which is a prime number. Therefore the only conclusion can be that we have one group. I've devised a system where we have three rounds of seven games. For each round each candidate will participate in two games with different opponents but the same referee.
This would be the system ( I will do the draw tomorrow if there are no objections, A, B and C will be the refs. D, E, F, and G the other candidates.)
Round 1. A vs D (ref: B) A vs G (ref: B) D vs G (ref: B) B vs C (ref: A) B vs E (ref: A) C vs F (ref: A) E vs F (ref: A)
Round 2. A vs B (ref: C) A vs F (ref: C) B vs F (ref: C) C vs D (ref: A) C vs G (ref: A) D vs E (ref: A) E vs G (ref: A)
Round 3: A vs C (ref: B) A vs E (ref: B) C vs E (ref: B) B vs D (ref: C) B vs G (ref: C) D vs F (ref: C) F vs G (ref: C)
Semi finals: 1st place vs 4th place 2nd place vs 3rd place
Final for 3rd place: 2nd SF1 vs 2nd SF2
Final 1st SF1 vs 1st SF2
Games in the group stage are three rounds. Ties in individual games are allowed in the group stage. Ranking in the group stage is determined first by games then rounds. Tiebreakers will be held if there is a tie in the final ranking of the group stage. Finals and semifinals are best of three. Ties in these rounds are not allowed, so you cannot win by two ties and a win. Tied rounds will be repeated until at least two games are won by one of the candidates. Total response time for all six games (18 rounds) in the group stage is 144 hours. If a candidate runs out of time all remaining games in the group stage are forfeited (or become ties if the other candidate runs out of time as well). Response time for semifinals and finals is 72 hours total (+ 8 hours for every tie). After each round within a game both picks (and the response time of each candidate) are revealed which will be the start of the next round.

Two more things before I do the draw and response time starts running: Time does not count double because there are two games at the same time (so effectively its 144 hours for 9 picks or 16 hours on average per pick). Refs are not limited by time, but I picked two active Talossans so I would expect them to post the results quickly.

You sent me the two picks, but you didn't tell me which one was for which opponent. You have to tell me which of the two is against Glüc and which of the two is against Alex, or I can't accept them.
