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.

Yeah, but you also have to contact a reffere.[ BJ ] wrote:
So teams could schedule a match anytime from Monday December 8th to Sunday December 14th?
Done. If there's anything else broken in the spreadsheet please contact me.ALust wrote:
the timezone for brazil is UTC -2, can you fix it in the spreadsheet?
I agree with this. You could however, make it like Tennis, where the top 4 or top 8 seeds are seeded and everybody else is random.NixXSkate wrote:
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.
Look on the bright side, if this tournament is successful we'll eventually have a very high quality quarterly tournament where unknown players in the top 1k can display their skills. I believe when competition rises, more quality players will want to play in this tournament. Let this be food for thought, 256 players max can join this tournament. That's literally 25% of the top 1k or 12.5% of the the top 2k, the amount of potential this tourny has is a lot.NixXSkate wrote:

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?NixXSkate wrote:

It's not just some blowouts, it was designed for ALL of the lower seeds to get screwed though, that's the thing. It's not one team getting unlucky, it's ALL of the lower seeded teams. It's like, why would you join next year with a low seeded team if you know you won't stand a chance in hell first round? Will they just put names of high pp players that aren't actually going to play just to be a higher seeded team so they can have a decent match in the first round?CptHampton wrote:
