After 2 rounds, I calculated that Alex had about 149 (not exact) and Dennis had 103.3. That's about a little less than a 50-point differential.
1st - 120 pts
2nd - 100 pts
3rd - 80 pts
4th - 60 pts
5th/6th - 50pts
Alex needs to be at least sole 3rd place in order to guarantee the all-around, even if Orcullo wins the 9-bal event. If is tied for 3rd place (70 pts) and Orcullo wins, then Orcullo will win the all-around.
The final six are as follows...
LeeVan(1) vs SVB
Ignacio vs Dennis(1)
Klatt(1) vs Alex
To be more precise, if Alex wins the NEXT match, then he'll lock it up. If he loses the NEXT match, it's still possible he can lose the all-around. EDIT: Which means your initial statement is correct. All he needs is to win one more match, no matter the order.
Yes, I believe that is correct.
Anyone know who beat Shaw, and if he bought back in, who beat him the second time?
I think TRex beat him the second time.
Shaw lost to Morra(5th rd), then Tony Chohan(6th rd)
Hmmm, I think I'm wrong yet again. It's not a mathematical certainty if he wins the next match.
Check out the following likely scenario with four players left...
Alex (0)
SVB (0)
Ignacio (1)
Dennis (1)
If Alex draws either Ignacio or Dennis, then loses his next two matches, SVB loses his next match, and Dennis keeps winning, then Alex could still lose the all-around. Alex would get 70 pts (tied for 3rd) while Dennis gets 120 pts.
So now that DO has the bye and AP plays SVB,what
are the possibilities?
are the possibilities?
if alex wins then all 3 are still left & then shane or alex will get a bye into finals. one of them would get screwed out of a bye at all. p.s. this is the scenario as long as alex or shane havent had a bye at some point in the early rounds which i don't believe they have. wrong thread i wasn't responding to the MOT scenario, just the tourney situation with the byes.

Just found out in the DCC 9Ball updates thread that Alex won the MoT title
with the guaranteed 3rd place finish (even if DO wins the 9B)
with the guaranteed 3rd place finish (even if DO wins the 9B)
this was known as soon as Shane beat Ignacio a while ago.
