Thanks for this m8, I was gonna miss the match if you didn't point this out.EmeraldStar82 wrote:
For those who were wondering or not aware:
All matches are in GMT +10.
For all you in AEST and that have their matches on Friday or Saturday, your matches are an hour earlier.
AEDT ends Sunday 3am so on Sunday all you AEST people have their matches at your local time.
But srsly, fuk daylight savings. so confuzzling.

Not too sure, since I'm in Sydney. In my timezone its supposed to be 9:30 and I'm pretty sure melborune is in the same timezone.Aloha wrote:

But if there is daylight savings, then wouldn't the match be at 10:30 GMT+10? If someone could confirm this, that would be helpful.

Melbourne and Sydney are currently both GMT+11. Daylight savings ends at 03:00 on Sunday 5 April, at which point the time zone will change to GMT+10.

Perhaps chuck something like this on the OP to avoid confusion.

I didn't post it until now because you changed the seeding format at the last second didn't you? I don't expect perfect match ups, but there should be some system to make sure they're not so one-sided there is no point in having the match, like Bauxe vs that 100K guy. I'm not sure what traditional seeding is, but it seems just like it was random. Another idea is to assign every adjacent player from the target on the player pp list a point value, say 20 points for the players next to the target, 19 points of the next two adjacent players etcetera.Happyjon wrote:
Looking at the graph I posted here, you will notice that roughly 70% of all players are between 3000 and 5000pp. These matches in round 1 shouldn't be too one-sided. With such a range of skill levels, it's very hard to have a format that caters to all the outliers. I'm really not sure how your suggested format would be implemented given that we only have 8 players below 3000pp, and even their range of skill levels is quite high. Also, any objections with the tournament format really should have been raised earlier when the thread was first posted, as it is far too late to change anything at this time.
I also was thinking about the new free mod rule, doesn't it make it give an advantage for a player who is good at a specific mods? For example a HD or HR player can now choose 2 of their 3 picks on a certain mod, but a DT player has only one DT pick. It seems to me that just having standard freemod would be better.
That's a selfish attitude, deprive all other players of fair matches just so the top players can cruise through easily beating their opponents, so they only have to face each other at the end, so there's more suspense or something? Maybe that's your idea of a 'good' tournament, and it may be fun for you, but not for the low ranked players like vawlt pointed out.buny wrote:
a 5 digit rank will pretty much have no chance of winning. I don't see your logic in allowing them to play other low ranks as more deserving players are being knocked out earlier.
seeding is a means of avoiding scenarios like these.
as for your suggestion, this is basically the same as a low rank tournament with its own prize which could be hosted by somebody else
But if that's the problem, then what was wrong with my suggestion? Here is a modified version. Everyone get's one fair match, and the all the best players last till the end. Seems like it'd be 'fun' and 'good' without compromising.

How fair is it gonna be if the final is like someone rank 100 vs someone rank 100,000 and the rank 100,000 get second place cause you didn't seed the players?
If you didn't agree with running the tournament like this then you shouldn't have signed up in the first place rather than joining and only trying to cause trouble

you don't expect marathons to shorten so that fatter people can finish it, do you?
marathons aren't even focused in a competitive aspect
I'd post a giant wall of text to explain the reasoning as to WHY seeding works how it is, but you're more dense than a block of lead, a feminist and a fat activist combined

Hi my name is tachibana riki

Shit I have the last game but its 9:30pm local instead of 10:30. Hope I get home on time, depending on how reliable sydney trains are (they always fuck up on me at shittest times). I might just skip movie night tho to make this tourney if worst comes to worst.

Sorry, yellowy246 messaged me yesterday saying that he was unable to make the match. He won't be back until 9pm Monday NZ time. Could you two please try to arrange a time to play before Wednesday?
Thank you Timmy for that match! hopefully next time I'll get you~
Good luck against B1rd!
Good example of my preparation...
I don't think I can play this game ever again from that BM...

I don't know how you could come that conclusion. A 100K player would be matched against low pp players first off but wouldn't get past the second round.blahpy wrote:

I would actually prefer it actually if you used words rather than just using insults. I still don't see the problem of arranging the tournament in a way that every player gets a fair match at the start while still retaining the competitive aspect. But it was just some suggestions to try and improve the tournament, I don't personally care that much and I'm not try and fight if everyone is against the idea.buny wrote:

Anyway enough of that topic, gg to my opponent, gonna admit it was mostly luck that I won.
well shit

I already have explained it in my previous post b1rd
next time maybe have a double elimination from the start, the second round would have the lower ranked players in the loser bracket playing against each other. Wouldn't actually change anything though since none of them would make it to the finals

The idea isn't for the lower ranked players to make it to finals (Why would this be the intention ever?). It's so they can have a more fair+enjoyable experience by playing against players of a more similar skill level, rather than being matched against high ranked players and having absolutely no hope and getting crushed. And it still has the benefits of seeding; the higher ranked players still play eachother at the end.buny wrote:

It's pretty pointless to discuss now, it's far too late to change anything now but I guess it can be changed for the next tournament.
