Highlighting the April 3336 Single Rainbow
Another event was coming up. This time it was my previously worst format (I do worse in Selfsame), the Collectors event, also known as Single Rainbow.
The top dogs here are those who have at least one each of the top Mechs, and I still lack about half of them.
Add in that I was supposed to slug it out on K2, and the prospect had no appeal at all for me.
To high fame factor, and to hard opposition. I managed to get an acquittance of me to promise to bring some notes and footage. When it finally arrived I could see the winners this time had been:
- Div 1 208+ (32 Commanders): Fabio Favaro, Warlock (31s)
- Div 2 -207 (12 Commanders): Robert C Goetz Sr, Death`s Collectors (5h,22m)
- Div 3 -147 (29 Commanders): James Waddington, Northwind Dragons (8h,8m)
- Div 4 -114 (18 Commanders): Paul Forresthill, M&L Blood Wolves (1d,1h)
- Div 5 -94 (24 Commanders): Yan Laflamme, Steampunk Dragons (19m,31s)
- Div 6 -73 (26 Commanders): Desacrator Jones, Renegades (22m,35m)
- Div 7 -61 (20 Commanders): Map Chap, UNDERWORLD (21m,56s)
- Div 8 -43 (15 Commanders): Sandie Elgie, Death`s Acolytes(7h,46m)
- Div 9 -35 (9 Commanders): Jeffrey Richey, Punishers Guild (2h,23m)
- Div 10 -27 (25 Commanders): saskpendragon, Dr.Z`s BMH Squad (2h,32m)
- Div 11 -20 (17 Commanders): Snowball7(2h,16m)
- Div 12 -15 (21 Commanders): Dan Fcjw, FASA was Real (1d,5h)
Total Contestants: 248, Total medals claimed: 171 (of 180 possible)
Compared to the SelfSame 36 fewer Commanders showed up. The spread was again uneven, and two tops, K2 and K9, had to few Commanders on it to claim all the medals. A total of 9 Bronzes were sent for resmelting.
As usual, the fighting varied, at least the number of successful fights. Four Golds changed hands the last half-hour, one of them the last minute. On the other side of the coin, the remaining 8 Golds were held for more than two hours, two of them for more than a day. The contest for the lesser prizes varied as well, as shown by the number of medals held for more than 30 minutes in this event:
.............Silvers......Bronzes
Div 1 ....0 of 4.........3 of 10
Div 2 ....4 of 4.........7 of 7
Div 3 ....3 of 4.........5 of 10
Div 4 ....2 of 4.........8 of 10
Div 5 ....3 of 4.........8 of 10
Div 6 ....3 of 4.........8 of 10
Div 7 ....3 of 4.......10 of 10
Div 8 ....4 of 4.......10 of 10
Div 9 ....4 of 4.........3 of 4
Div 10 ..4 of 4.......10 of 10
Div 11 ..4 of 4.......10 of 10
Div 12 ..4 of 4.......10 of 10
Of the 33 Medals that changed hands, 12 was on Mount Olympus. no other top saw as much as half the Medals changing hands, and on half the tops there was not even one single successful attack.
Again we had an event where no clans managed more than one Gold. None of the SelfSame winners managed to follow up their triumphs either. We had an unaligned winner; snowball7 on K11.
