Maybe I was not clear. My idea is:
- If you play in person (whether before Oct 17, or early Oct 17) those 1-3 games count as first rounds of online tournament
- If you do not play in person, you play all games in online tournament
- You are only "undefeated" if you win all the games either in person or online
The only advantage/disadvantage is you can't rank homegames by ponts as opponents are locked in. So it is an advantage is if who you play with in person is novices, you can get wins easier; but if the Louisville or oldschool Columbus crew go together in person, they would be at a disadvantage as wins would be harder.
