Tournament Odds

Started by Ethereal90 pages

I can make brackets.

Why is Kandy below me? I already beat him once along with some other guy in a 3 way match in evangel's tournament. And Martian has no tournament experience. 😒

..........I really hope I don't have to fight one of the past tourney winners first round...... nosweat I have a bet with Martian about who will win between the two of us, and the bet gets voided if either of us gets booted before we face each other.

01. King Kandy
02. Martian_mind
03. TricksterPriest
04. Entity
05. Joey Stacks
06. Blair Wind
07. Roldz
08. Scoobless

09. Newjak
10. Ethereal
11. Devil Lance
12. leonidas

We'd need 4 more people to make it a straight knockout tourney.

How about, instead, the losers of the first 4 matches make up the second half of the second bracket?

09 Vs 10
11 Vs 12

Loser 1 Vs Loser 2
Loser 3 Vs Loser 4

Or, We could always just have a vote after the first 6 matches to say who the best 2 losers were and add them back in to make it a straight 8 man knockout format.

That would be fairer, as whoever loses the matches 09-12 wouldn't have a second chance the first way round.

Any thoughts/comments on this?

FYI - the numbering of the matches is purely arbitrary in order to help explain wtf I was talking about.

i'm surprised RA wasn't made into a judge shrug

you have a bet? I didnt know about your tourney exp, i only payed attention to winners or runner ups. But im glad some peope are making distinctions. altho it doesnt help ur odds of having martian 1st round. but heck, might as well take requests.

Here's a revised one that should make everyone happy..

1-Scoobless vs. 4- Entity
1-Blair Wind vs. 4- King Kandy
2-leonidas vs. 5- roldz
2-Newjack vs. 5- Joey Stacks
3- Devil Lance vs. 6-Ethereal
3-Trickster Priest vs. 6-martian_mind

3- Devil Lance vs. 6-Ethereal
3-Trickster Priest vs. 6-martian_mind

So then it would be

East
1-Scoobless vs. 4- Entity
2-Newjack vs. 5- Joey Stacks

Central
2-leonidas vs. 5- roldz
3- Devil Lance vs. 6-Ethereal

West
1-Blair Wind vs. 4- King Kandy
3-Trickster Priest vs. 6-martian_mind

....or something like that?

😆 @ Martian and Trickster

Yeah pretty much, the point being to have the 1 seeds away from each other.

Shouldn't it just be a random draw kind of thing that the tourney director does.

I'd like to know the type of format being used but not the actual matchups.

It'd be much more interesting if no-one knew who they were facing until a day before the matches start ... or at least not before the drafts are complete and finalised ... don't want anyone customising their character specifically for their first round match.

Yeah understanding the format would be cool.

And yeah I like the idea of not knowing who you will be facing until right before it.

Ok, so I get on and check all the tourney threads and I see here that I have been only out rated by former tourney champs!
Have no idea why but sweetness! 🙂

Then I read on to see that apparently Scoobless is my first round match, (Well maybe not but it being there make it a strong possibility).

Damn! Never realized I was this much of a thread. I have my concerns in the tourney but he was actually my top worry!
Great best way to make a name for your self is to kick the biggest guys ass first. Right?

Well maybe I won't make a name for myself but at least I'll definitely go down swinging if I do.

I was neither referring to you as fat or having a gland malfunction.
I was simply implying that you were the guy to beat from what I've seen.

It was a complement! Damn. 😮

but fine...Fatty! 😛

I know ... 😛

But looking at it the other way round ... people may expect some of us to do well against you n00bs ... so the pressure is on us to live up to expectations, whereas you lot have nothing to lose.

🙂

n00bs 😂

True enough. Scoob likely has more skill/experience than most of the people in the tourney. But if he loses in maybe round 1, it's a mockable event for at least months.
