Lowest roll is 200. So a 50/50 chance I roll the lowest. 20d20=216

216 = 20d20

Just dropping a post... @red303 , it is far more complicated than that you don't have one dice, you have 20...

Lowest number: 20
Highest: 400

But you have to know statistics here. If we consider the allocation of varying results "normal" (which it almost is) as it is called, then we get a diagram depicting exactly which result we get every time the experiment is done (i.e. a roll is made). A diagram of "number of times we got each result". The diagram is resembling a bell a bit (called "bell diagram"), showing that most results are in the range 190-230 approximately (which is the top of the bell ). The highest tip of the "bell" is it's average. The further away the result is, the less chance it has to be scored. Which is why we never get posts with less than 100, or over 300

This here shows the chance you have of landing on each possible result if the allocation is normal:
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/8c/Standard_deviation_diagram.svg

Imagine that the "0" is the average (in our case 210). the σ's are something different that doesn't matter as of this explanation

So, it is not exactly a 50/50 chance. Firstly because all the possible results are not [0-400] but [20-400] and secondly because the allocation is (most likely) not entirely normal.

Hope this helps...I've had some statistic training. If you'd like, I can analyze it properly.

This was only meant as an explanation...ok, with a little bit of pride in it Sorry!

Moving on to final rounds.

Final rounds rules (which can also be found in the discussion thread's OP)

- The final two users will have a best of three (2/3) approach to determining the winner of the tournament.

- There is no allotted time for the best of three rounds, as soon as both have rolled, go on to the next set of rolls. (wait for the other user to roll before rolling again.)

Example:

P1: 292
P2: 286 Round 1
P1: 192
P2: 182 Round 2
P1: N/A
P2: N/A Round 3

Winner: P1

Good luck @red303 and @SirPuddington
