@vividlyplain my balance is outputting: "#REF! Input must be greater than or equal to 0" even though I have just 450 in outstanding bets, and I was only -66 points in the first match.

It's been showing for about 10-15 mins. Is this normal or?

Some of you are in need of a reminder of the rules. Specifically . . .

2. At the bottom of your player sheet is your balance (points available to bet with). If this number reaches less than zero as a result of you placing bets, none of your bets will be counted so make sure it stays above or equal to zero.

it used to be okay as long as you had enough for each single bet when the match start, is it not possible anymore?
(example: I have 2k, I bet 2k on match 1 and 1k on match 2 because I expect to win at least 1k from match 1 and it will happend befor match 2, is it forbidden?)

[zoom]

IIRC that has never been possible; your balance will be shown as negative, and no bet will count.

it was 100% when goodspeed was running the event, I did it several times

My bad, then!

Yeah I edited the code for this to only remove bets if they bet more than they have on any particular match. So players can bet more than they have across all matches, but not on a single match.

I forgot to change the rules accordingly, so it's confusing.

[bwinner]

So in the end, is that possible or not?

[Goodspeed]

Should be

I have seen it happen already this tourney.

I notice you didn't add Optimus__Prime vs Peréz, yet, for whatever reason. Yikes! You really should do that.

where's my donation? jk

not kidding

[zoom]

Hopefully it's not too late. Thanks!

[zoom]

Ideally, Danielek vs wookl and samwise12 vs King_Ownage2nd would never make it to betting, in the first place, since they are too one-sided, and detract from Optimus__Prime vs Pérez, which is scheduled for the exact same time. This is pretty much why you don't add series too early. Ultimately, it's just early days and growing pains, surely.

[vividlyplain]

two new matches open for bets, unfortunately with such a busy weekend three are at the same time, pick your fave!

TGIF

i'll have 5 fresh matches and a small gift for you tomorrow

I want to explain myself, a little better. I'm only trying to help you make the rest of the event as successful as possible. I'm perfectly understanding of mistakes happening – especially with this being your first time. Please don't miss my point, though, which is that considering scheduling – in addition to closeness and profile – when selecting betting matches is highly important for the experience of participants and the ultimate success of the event. Whether series are added one day or seven days in advance doesn't make a significant difference, while whether they're added 24h or 3h in advance does.

Simply using the front page's "Event Schedule" to illustrate my point, the following would have been my suggested schedule, for today's betting:

18:00: Optimus__Prime vs Peréz
18:00 Either Danielek vs wookl or samwise12 vs King_Ownage2nd
19:30: HawK_GirL vs Sweethegreat
22:00: skirmisher1380 vs Risi123
22:00 Kaister vs Forjustice

In my experience, including the very best series and offering at the very most two concurrent ones should be a priority.

Thank you so much for considering my feedback, and for hosting the betting event!
