Results of 2 of 2 Matchups:
I can reveal that one player did not finish by Sunday which was the soft deadline and was informed that by doing it a day later they would earn a small penalty. That penalty is the penalty time of 1 vote, 15 minutes. That player who received the penalty is Novamax243
Each vote not received before posting the climb phrase to the next highest section results in a 5 minute penalty.
bbfan21:
Run Time: 8 hours, 43 minutes, 9 seconds
Penalty Time: 2 hours, 5 minutes (25 votes)
TOTAL Time: 10 hours, 48 minutes, 9 seconds
Novamax243:
Run Time: 1 hour, 56 minutes, 34 seconds
Penalty Time: 2 hours, 25 minutes (29 votes) and 5 minutes for late start.
TOTAL Time: 4 hours, 21 minutes, 34 seconds
Now with those times the results seem clear, HOWEVER I can now reveal that Novamax243 incorrectly completed the Elimination by posting climbing phrases before the mails received resulting in nearly all mails received to help not counting leading to the penalty time. But MORE IMPORTANTLY, Novamax243 failed to climb a section by mailing me the climbing phrase to one of the 6 sections of the pole (Section Z, the first section). So technically, he never climbed Section Z and by not climbing that section he was unable to climb future sections. So within his one official run, he sent the start and finish phrase but technically did not climb the pole and thus did not finish the Elimination in his one official attempt.
So by default as the only one to climb the pole, bbfan21 has won this Elimination. bbfan21 wins this Elimination and earns a KEY CARD to Stage 2 and the Top 20. bbfan21 wins 25 bonus Leaderboard points as well as half of his opponent's Leaderboard points.
I am sorry Novamax243, it seems time and technicalities have gotten the best of you this time. You have officially been eliminated from RSF Season 50: Clash of the Champions. I hope to see you in the future.
Novamax243, after being eliminated you must now choose any other player(s) still in the game to leave half of your Leaderboard points. To be clear you can leave them all to one person or divide them up between multiple people. You must do so ASAP or you do not get to leave the points to anyone.
The Auction is now closed and I will reveal the highest bidder when I receive point allocations by the eliminated players.
