Besides the four prequalified players Dickhut, Teuber, Obenaus and Radmacher, the four top players of the preliminaries qualify: Code: Deutsche Meisterschaft 2012, Vorrunde - After Round 6 Place Name Club Level Rating Score 1 2 3 4 5 6 Points SOS SOSOS 1 Jasiek, Robert Berl 5 Dan 2443 26½ 8+ 3+ 7+ 2= 4+ 6+ 5½ 147½ 869 2 Tarumi, Jun Münc 5 Dan 2525 26½ 10+ 6+ 9+ 1= 3+ 5+ 5½ 145½ 868 3 Welticke, Jonas Bonn 4 Dan 2321 25 5+ 1- 12+ 7+ 2- 4+ 4 146 870½ 4 Liebscher, V.

Place 1: Despite cross-pairing in rounds 1 and 2, the first two rounds' SOS contribution of the opponents of players 1 and 2 was worse than lottery. Place 4: The places 4 to 8 sorting was not by skill but by the pairing luck's effect on SOS. With 7 new of 11 participants in comparison to 2011 German Championship preliminaries and finals, the tournament's pairing system has no chance to distinguish SOS from lottery even marginally. A bomb alarm in my train leading to its delay could have had a greater impact easily, but I just barely arrived on time for round 1:) At least the points criterion expresses fairly what has happened in the games, i.e. the two 5d players deserve their final places. Contrarily, the ratings are not reflected so well.

Congratulations. + I am happy to see that you're sticking to your opinion although SOS awarded you the first place here. But when the 4th player get the qualification with only 3 wins out of 6, he should feel lucky regardless of the tie breaker used.

Players 1 & 2 had a draw in round 4? That's pretty unusual.

The game felt like a draw during opening and middle game, we played equally strongly, did not believe the opponent's forcing moves or let get away with extra-sharp moves and so naturally the endgame byoyomi mistakes cancelled each other:)

wait... so if you're using tie-break methods in the tournament, then why allow even komi in the games?

The idea by its proponents was a greater likelihood of an on average finer number of wins placement criterion so that tiebreakers would be needed less frequently. Of course, this idea overlooks the possibility of a jigo creating a tie on the number of wins:)
