Match Schedule, Round One: Batdude and Kahn's Holiday Herald Tournament

Yes. Sorry if I didn't make that clear. [b] Everyone starts fighting tomorrow.

I thought about spacing them out more, but I didn't want to give some teams more time to plan than those who went first. This was the only way I felt things would be even.

BTW, there is no hard deadline to end the debate. So there is no rush to start posting immediately. A day delay here or there isn't a big deal if you need more time to plan your strategy. [/B]

ah. okay. can't believe you have enough judges to judge 4 matches simultaneously. that will be . . . . a LOT of reading and more than one tourney has been ruined because judges took weeks (in one case it was literally weeks) to get a judgement in. hopefully it will work out.

It won't be easy, but I think we have some solid judges this time around and they'll have a week or more to peruse the threads. And don't worry, it will NOT take weeks to get decisions in this tourney no matter what we have to do.

it seems like 12 judges would be needed at minimum, assuming no judge is simultaneously doing more than one match.

and why wasn't the delinquent judge replaced? judges should have a deadline to turn in judgments as well.

As it stands, we might have to ask judges to follow two fights in the first round. The problem is that all the regulars on KMC who are interested in the tourney are either participating or are already judging. Still, witht he 10 post limit per team, it shouldn't be too bad.

The first round will be a little rough on the judges, but I think we can make it through.

Gotta go with Khan on this one. Judging more than one match should honestly be no problem, especially since you don't really have to follow the fights. You can just wait until one battlezone has finished and then read the posts. A fight is not some RSS feed that'll constantly hassle the judges. Looking at the list of judges, there are at least 3-4 of these who are capable of judging more than one fight at a time. If it's not carried out like this, then this tourney will keep going till the next holiday.

if each judge takes 2 matches, then you just need 6 judges.

also, I think it's MUCH easier for a judge to follow along (a bit at least) rather than waiting till the whole thing is done to read up on it. It can get overwhelming.

Over-dramatizing.

The judges will be just fine, with 8 posts a team it won't take long to judge a fight, and I don't see why they couldn't do multiple ones.

I assume there's a post limit. Because I'm only reading like 5 posts per person. Make your damn case in that window, because anything that takes, say, 20 team posts to get through is too complicated to work anyway. Short and sweet if you want my vote, poozers. Or money.

Or both.

Or hookers. Or just the money. Or both.

It's 10 per team, 5 per debater I assume.

there is no per debater limit, as far as I'm aware of.

TheKahn announced his judge selections awhile ago. 😐

I knew you were a judge before Khan announced it. It's just that, no matter how many times that is said, the gif is still appropriate.

I also want at least one judge to hate me. It makes things more exciting.

We can add Badabing to that list as well.

We could always use more but this should be enough. I'm willing to judge all the matches in the first round so we shouldn't need every judge to participate in two matches to get 3 per fight.

its technically 11 per team.

Yeah, its up to the team to decide how to split the total posts among themselves, although I imagine a 5/5 split will be the most common with them collaborating on the initial post.

Adding an additional judges:

Doctor Alvis
Tha C-Master

Illadelph

Bentley
Badabing
