It is summer again, does that mean it is about time for a new round of Field of 64 threads?

Undertoad · 05-27-2008, 03:41 PM

I've been waiting for a reason to work on the admin bit that runs it, improving it so it's easier to use.

Summer isn't really a good enough reason though

lookout123 · 05-27-2008, 04:04 PM

how about field of 64 for movie sequels?

Shawnee123 · 05-27-2008, 04:09 PM

I dunno: is that like the Field of Dreams?

DanaC · 05-27-2008, 04:39 PM

wtf is field of 64?

Undertoad · 05-27-2008, 04:46 PM

http://cellar.org/fieldof64/

Edit: further: "field of 64" describes a 64-team, single-elimination tournament structure. For an improved outcome, the teams are "seeded" into four sectors of 16 teams each; the idea is that the four teams thought to be the best do not play each other until the "final four", if they make it through the rounds.

For our purposes we have taken the "team" tournament idea and put other items into the tournament. The Fof64 page above shows the outcomes, and the threads where we voted on them.

...I don't get it.

I mean, maybe I do--it's a little weird that they called something the 'Old News mode', but that's just kind of nonsensical to me rather than something damning--and I keep reading it again like it tells me to, looking for what I'm supposed to be seeing. I got nothin'.

DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION

Sundae · 07-01-2008, 08:34 AM

I've been trying to log on since about 09.30 BST.
This is the first time I've got on.

I don't know if anyone else has had a problem?

lookout123 · 07-01-2008, 01:03 PM

it's running a little slow, but no problems signing on. unless you count the ad for some italian restaurant that pops up when i open the cellar.

Undertoad · 07-01-2008, 03:03 PM

Oh that, I made a deal with Bertucci's, we'll be closing the tip mug soon.
