Changed thread title as per user request...

Played a 2's game, never had this before but im assuming its a drophack to save their stats. Game went to connection lost, and then had the finish screen with 0 points and the game didnt register.

That's normal behavior, the game initially won't show up in the ranking if one of the players loses connection. However, it will eventually register (often after several hours), no worries...

I had since dbp release the third 1vs1 game whose victory did not count xD that's no joke. right at the end of a round when I hear the arty and victory stands there I get a bugsplat. a second later I land on the desktop. When I look in my leaderboards, I have neither victory nor defeat. I think that's a big bug.

Well, the bugsplat issue might be new, but that the game is not shown instantly in the leaderboard history is an old issue.

I have the feeling that when the server doesn't get a proper "the game ended" from all clients, it is counted as still going on and thus not added to the list in the leaderboards.

However, eventually (and that might take several hours) the server will decide that the game ended (how ever that is determined) and count and list it accordingly. You should check your stats a day later or so...

So, since the patch is about to hit any minute (right?), I thought I get out the stats for the recent Mixed Factions 2v2 tournament before these become utterly obsolete.

In total I found 71 matches; the brackets contain a few more games in the first and second round, but I figure that at least one of teams didn't show up.

The longest game with 61 minutes happened in the Quarterfinals between VonAsten/Crossfire and Kimbo mad slice/Stuve on Crossing in the Woods. The trophy for most damage (90035) goes to Theodosios playing with his teammate Thanatos in the semis against VonAsten/Crossfire.

This was a mixed factions tournament, so obviously no SOV/SOV etc. teams. However, OH/OH was permitted by the rules to provide the axis team at least with a theoretical alternative. However, this option was only picked by dekrack/Rick Sanchez and it didn't go well.

On the allied side, the most popular combo was SOV/UKF was was used about twice as often either SOV/USF or USF/UKF and exhibts a somewhat higher win percentage than the other two.

Overall, though, win percentages are probably not too meaningful: Axis win percentages are almost perfectly at 50%, and a glance over the brackets shows that almost all rounds went 2/0 (or 3/0 in case of the final) for the winning team.

If we use only the 14 games of the rounds that did not end with a clean sweep for the winning team, we get:

Teams

	OH/OKW	SOV/USF	SOV/UKF
Picked	14	1	13
Won	7	0	7
Won(%)	50	0	54
Std. dev.(%)	11	0	14

Again, the winrates are perfectly 50/50 between axis and allies. 11 out of the 14 games involved Crossfire/VonAsten so the fact that almost all games where played with SOV/UKF on allied side likely reflects their preference.

Maps

games	avg. length (min)	max length (min)	map name
30	28	61	Crossing in the Woods (new)
12	29	42	Rails and Metals
6	42	53	Elst Outskirts
5	35	59	Semois Winter
4	24	35	Minsk Pocket (old)

4	32	33	Vaux Farmlands
4	27	41	Minsk Pocket (new)
2	27	29	Hamlet

In the last 2v2 tournament the most played map was Rails and Metal, followed by Crossing in the Woods and Road to Kharkov (which was not in the map pool this time).

Now, Crossing in the Woods (new) was used in almost half of the games, although Rails and Metals was still popular. There are 4 games played on the old and the same amount of games on the new version of Minsk Pocket, so overall Minsk takes third place before the comparatively new Elst Outskirts.

Can't lock this from Steam overlay, if someone would kindly do it for me.
