Online Memory League Championship, season 8!

hi my name on the list but I can’t find my name in the division

There has just been a slight reshuffle after I learned that the world number 5 was placed in division 4, which probably wouldn’t be much fun for anyone there :slight_smile:

Hi @maral03,

You did register, but we didn’t include you as it appeared that you hadn’t played Memory League before.

If you are really keen to join in, let me know and I can put you in division 5.

Yes, i am really keen to join in

There is no color indicating promotion, playoff or demotion spots. Does that mean there is no such thing this season?

Now it’s more than 100 in this list, if I counted correctly :grin:
But on the League’s page there are 88

Even better, Love that =)

The colors will appear after the first match in the division has been played :slight_smile:

Green = promotion for next season
Red = relegation for next season
Amber = playoff for possible promotion/relegation

Important note for League players without full access

You don’t need a paid subscription to Memory League to play in this championship, and League games don’t count towards your daily quota of games.

However, you must have at least one game remaining for the day to play a League match. If you don’t have at least one game remaining, you won’t be able to challenge anyone, and no-one will be able to challenge you.

So, if you’re planning to play a League match on a particular day, don’t use up all your free games until after you’ve played the League match.

@k.joy5 Hello! When will you ready to play our league match? I can do it everyday on this week (on Thursday, on Friday, on Saturday or on Sunday). Just let me know.

Hi Tanka, Wanna play now?

I`ll be free for match in 30 minutes. Is it ok?

ummm… yeah, i might be able to squeeze in a game…
thanks!

We are a week and a half into the season and so far we’ve played 43 out of 220 matches. There are still a lot of people who haven’t played at all yet - let me know if you have any questions or problems.

Since we have 18 people in division 1 this season, let’s add in a quarter-final stage. The top two competitors in each of 1a, 1b and 1c, as well as the two best 3rd-placers from those divisions, play in the quarter finals.

Good luck to everyone for your remaining matches!

There are only 4 days left in the regular season. So far we have played 107 out of the 215 scheduled matches.

Let me know what you think we should do:

  • Move ahead with playoffs next week
  • Allow an extra week (or more) for people to play their outstanding matches

Not sure how I feel about this one. A couple more weeks would be fine IF at least another 50-60 matches get played. If it doesn’t lead to many matches being played then it’s just lost momentum for those who actually have played their games and are waiting for play-offs and finals.

I feel that Season 8 should end soon, like in 2 weeks, with the play offs.
Draging it along another month just for a few matches is a turnoff for those who are actively wanting to compete.
For now, atleast reachout to everyone so that they get reminded about their matches.

-Also, isn’t it now the period where most people are at home anyway; shouldn’t scheduling memory matches be easiest now?

What’s the main factor for people not playing their matches? The difficulty to synchronize with others and find convenient times to play? Lack of motivation after a while? Not understanding that they have to arrange the matches themselves? Just plain busy but registered because, you know, why not, maybe I’ll have time to play?

Well some people are just unreliable. When you look at different seasons (unfortunately some athletes just have been removed due to their inactivity from the table), you can see that some athletes are regularly among those who cause problems and thus it’s obvious to me that the main problem are those very people who aren’t able to make a realistic prognosis about their time and motivation. And also those people demotivate other athletes. The worst part of the league in my opinion is having to chase after people or waiting for others to chase each other down. I personally would be as strict as possible including banning no show-athletes from future league seasons. But that’s just me, and I’m probably one of the most annoyed among us. :wink: And I’m known for bearing grudges. :wink:

OK, thanks everyone - let’s move on to the playoffs next week!

We are now up to 112 out of 215 matches played, which is 52%. Try to finish as many as you can in the next 2 days!

I’ll post the playoff matches here on Monday.
