Out of curiosity what would you guys think of moving the round 1 pool to round 2 and making one thats slightly easier for the first round?
Just gathering opinions, nothing official yet or anything.

First round pool is fine, just inconsistent. HR picks are a bit harder than the rest of the pool and that's about it. The HD picks are really good though imo and I like the wild card maps like Magnolia & Move That Body in there.

Also just wondering:

-Can we ban maps

-How are you seeding teams

you are pretty wrote:

In my opinion the maps are a bit too difficult for a first round, but with the quality of the players on the team it might not matter.

Wait, the new HR Maps are supposed to be easier? For some reason I find them way harder than the previous ones, is that just me?

Mh, I don't like how Challonge puts the #1 team vs the #32 team and so on. Wouldn't it be more exciting if #1 would play #17, #2 vs #18 and so on? This would make sure the best 16 team still advance but prevent shit like #1 vs #32 were the results are totally clear from the very beginning (not saying #1 vs #17 wouldn't be clear either but it would be a bit more interesting to watch). I doubt these matches would be very fun for anybody.

The point is to not have a rank 32 vs rank 1 semi-finals or some shit.

I probably may have to drop out of commentator/referee due to family issues as well as scehduling issues

With your system there would be NO interesting games. A seeding system like this is meant to ensure that the teams that deserve to get into the next round do, while creating heated contests among the teams that are in the middle of the pack. Obviously first seed should pretty much always be expected to go through barring a miracle or freak occurrence. But now the games that are most interesting are #16 v. #17, #14 v. #18, etc., and part of the exciting thing is to see how far up the chain the matches will be close, like whether or not a #21 will be able to upset a #12, or a #25 upset a #8. With the system you propose, all teams that are higher seeded should always advance, since there is a considerable skill gap in every single match.

This live drawings will happen. "Top-seed1" just mean that a top-seeded hold this place. It will determine who will be put against who on later rounds.

So if you revive then your score will be counted? Or do you mean reviving still does not validate the score?

Hey.
So now, my schedule went ka boom.

1. Well, I can't stay up to commentate because of family.
2. Rain has begun to leak into my house, so I need to fix that.
3. I probably can't commentate/referee any match when I'm Hong Kong and camp.

So, I'll sadly say please take off my name. I hope I can try again next year and hope that my schedule is good.
Thank you.

Although I'm excited for this tournament, I feel really bad for the lower seeds. I know the idea is so the matches become really intense toward the end, but I feel that the teams of lower seeds will feel discouraged, and in turn, probably won't want to participate next year in a tournament that seems to be in favor of using the lower seeded teams to keep the top seeded teams alive to battle it out in later matches. There are definitely different ways to set it up so everyone can have an enjoyable first match with a team they have a chance with, not just the mid seeds, and still have top tier's battle it out in the quarter or semifinals. I feel bad for encouraging my friend to join the tournament since right of the bat he'll have to face rrtyui's team.

Of course, it's late to be expressing my opinions, but I just hope it can be different for next year, or at least have a loser's bracket or something.

With the skill gap between teams being this wide, blowouts are unavoidable. It's best to have them happen in the early rounds, if there are huge skill gaps between teams in later rounds it might detract from the legitimacy of the tournament. If you look on the bright side, how many other chances will your friend get to play in a match with rrtyui?
