Delayed GGs to you as well for getting an invite Friday! Looking forward to saying hi at the RC ^_^

Wheels fell off yesterday in the main event but we rallied in the RCQ today for 5-1, $100, and a DC invite. Happy to have another weekend on the calendar ^_^

Surprise! We got final standings on Friday, so I had last weekend to work on it, and there were only 180 new names in Milwaukee (compared to 875 in Toronto), so I got it all done today. www.mtgeloproject.net is updated. ^_^ Now to unhook my phone until after Richmond...

www.mtgeloproject.net is updated today with Santiago, its LCQ, and Arena Championship 11. I'm not expecting to see Milwaukee+Vancouver standings until early next week, and expect to use my Magic time next week on Richmond prep. So it may be a little bit before they appear.

Curating queue:
• Arena Championship 11 is done and ready to go
• We should see Santiago standings soon; I'll update the site with AC11 + Santiago + LCQ when it appears
• Milwaukee and Vancouver probably won't appear for another week or so. Will try to get them done before Richmond but no promises.

Sad not to get to play a little more with this one, because the whole thing was over so fast. Definitely the least troubled I've ever felt overall, taking all seven games into account. If I've had a stronger draft deck, it's been years and years.

Love seeing the sealed win% go up. ^_^ Good luck in the draft!

After a marathon week of curating, SS Toronto and its LCQ are now on www.mtgeloproject.net. I am sure there is a lot to correct, so don't be shy!

Ugh and it looks like a nontrivial number of people 0-1 dropped, who knows if that's because of a mistake in the registration process or what. I'm afraid I'm going to see a bunch of people double-playing the first round. 🙃

This one has been extra challenging. I think it has to do with the way F2F handled registrations on their own site and then added everyone to Melee themselves... lots of pre-existing people seem to have gotten new accounts just for this tournament. 😫

Toronto final standings, you say? This is going to be a job, but at least now I can get started.

We've been getting final standings with human names of every participant on magic dot gg, so I line them up against the Melee pairings and then switch the names over. Unfortunately it's been taking 8-10 days before we get those standings lately.

31 players have accomplished this feat. Any list with Kai and Shuhei at the top is pretty good company. GGs @atsevariel.bsky.social !

"New" names in Toronto raw data: 1110
New names that I've seen before and know how to translate: 248.
Uh, we're gonna need final standings to get anywhere with this.

Refresh is done. I thought for sure we'd get Portland standings in the middle of the redeploy, because that's just my luck... but no, we're still waiting. I'll wait one more day before compiling PT stats.

PT data is all ready to go, but I'm still missing final standings for Portland. I'll give up and upload everything with Melee names for Portland after work today. It's just awkward because I expect 30-40 people to get merged and that means the initial ratings will move around.

Sad RCQ story: my pool had six rares in it. #2026things

>.< I've had a note to deal with this forever. Pink means "personal best achieved at most recent event attended." It's distinct from green which is like "reached personal best at last match played."

www.mtgeloproject.net is updated with SS Atlanta and SS Lyon, and their LCQs... just in time to start waiting for RC Portland results ^_^;

Also in this update: 30 NRG events were added, plus I moved the "is_active" date to 2022-01-01.

👀 Final standings! I'll curate today after work.

I can work on this, I've needed to do some work on the leaders page.

Hmm... some of the event names are long, haha. I'll work on making them more visually acceptable on the next update too.

_Still_ waiting for SS Atlanta/Lyon final standings, but we did a bit of backend work this weekend, so I'm pushing an intermediate site refresh right now. This makes 30 NRG events public. Still have to add a leaderboard, planning to do that alongside the SS data.

A Howling Mine has been animated with Mightstone's Animation and has attacked (hence is tapped).

On a deep Discord dive and came across this. Get Howled, sucker.

Note that while I have gathered a bunch of destination/10K/"big" side events from 2022-2025 weekends, going forward the ONLY side events that I intend to include are the Limited Championship Qualifiers.

Random curious tidbit from this data dive yesterday: there were 99 "regulars", that is, people who have played 6+ pro events since PTONE. In that time span there have been 17276 pro matches. Fully a third of them (5765/17276=33.36%) involve a regular!
