fishy bracket =\... renth getting 2 byes in winner's while everyone else got zero o_o

mark, you got gifted 5th place :D (for example, both me and renth won our first match, then lost our next two; yet he is 5th and i am 17th x.x)

even better, oorah went 0-2 and got 13th =[

someone should've caught this earlier

If there's something out there with regional seeding, that would be good too. There were so many Pittsburgh vs. Pittsburgh matches...

Any kind of seeding would have been nice. Mow and I played first round. >_<

EDIT: Doh. This is Reik. I forgot to log out of this account.

I dislike the concept of seeding, it's very rude for a tournament host to make brackets on assumed placings, and it's equally bad for new and upcoming players who are trying to learn and improve when they just get killed 4 stock.

If I do one of these again, it will be all RR singles, no teams or crews, registration on friday and spend all of saturday and sunday playing them and having fun.

I personally like seeding based on location. It's bad for new and upcoming players to be eliminated by their siblings or best friends that they play all the time. Not that it mattered for me at this particular tournament, but it has in previous tournaments.

Please do another! August or later though. I doubt I'd be able to make the drive again sooner than that.

swiss-seeding would be very viable IMO; just play 3-4 rounds of swiss and then seed a bracket by those results

same (though slightly less effective) with seeding via rr pools (instead of just taking top 2 per pool or whatever, put everyone in the bracket based on their ranking in their pool)

with 32 people...

regular double-elim = 32 * 2 - 2 = 62 matches
swiss-seeding, 3 rounds = 16 * 3 + 62 = 110 matches
swiss-seeding, 4 rounds = 16 * 4 + 62 = 126 matches
pool-seeding, 4 per pool = 10 * 8 + 62 = 142 matches
pool-seeding, 8 per pool = 28 * 4 + 62 = 174 matches
full-on round-robin = 32 * 31 / 2 = 496 matches

round robin takes 3-4x longer than everything else =\

i understand where you are coming from mow, but that only skews the placings. i dont see how it is rude at all, considering it is completely fair. without any form of seeding, players who deserve to place lower will place higher, and vice versa.

for example, if theres a tournament with myself, you, chillin and isai all on the same side of the bracket, some random noob can get to winners finals on the other side, and get automatic third, without playing or beating ANY of those 4 said players. meanwhile, 2 of the 4 of us wont even get a chance to play that noob that made it to winners finals, because we will all eliminate eachother beforehand. this means the less skilled player gets a higher placing than he probably shouldve deserved, and someone like Isai gets a lower placing than some guy he would probably annihilate.

Just like mow said at the tournament, "There are no bad players here. Everyone here is good." There weren't any noobs at this tournament but I can understand that sometimes the scenario that g reg just stated can still possibly happen. I would prefer RR if there aren't too many people next time. Maybe we can even do Triple or Quadruple Elimination, rofl.

"There are no bad players here. Everyone here is good."

mow just doesn't remember 4-stocking Random Guy#8. i couldn't keep my eyes on the screen long enough to get a kill in -- i was afraid of being froslapped.

i had fun and hope something like this is done again. i can house 3-4 next time around, no one seemed to need it this time though.


*Just a suggestion: Possibly create on the spot seeds - assuming we have less than like 80 heads? Unknowns have to get 'rated' by a few of the more respected players. nothing formal, but it should sort out most problems of any inherent disrespect.
i suck and have no problem being told so.. as long as the people talking junk are willing to tell me why i suck so that i can get better.

i don't mind getting wrecked as long as i'm learning in the process. half the time i die because i'm trying to perfect a tactic rather than just knock Guy X off the stage.
forever student ftw.
