1v1 Nothings Ever Easy (underway)

[WILLIAMS5232]

i updated, the scores and brackets. guess these spoiler tabs arent' gonna be fixed anytime soon. i'll give it a few more days and if nothing changes i'll go through and remove them, and post each bracket individually so it's more clear

[WILLIAMS5232]

ok, i made some more games, and posted updated brackets, and scoreboard.

the spoiler tabs have been fixed, so everything is nice and tidy again.

[WILLIAMS5232]

scores, brackets updated. availabe games created, invites sent.

i'll updated once more tommorrow afternoon, and then i'll be out of town til sunday night. depending on what time i get in the next update will be sunday or monday night. enjoy the holidays for the americans, for the non americans i hope you take off work for no reason and go fishing or snowski or something.

[WILLIAMS5232]

[WILLIAMS5232]

scores and brackets updated, as well as available matchups.

all round 1 games are done, and mostly round 2. scoreboard will start looking different once all these deep games start finishing.

Would love to see min/max columns if you do another one in this format!

this has been a really friendly tournament to run, so i will do another, maybe a poly one too.

but what do you mean "min/max column"? just a column that shows the highest leg of a bracket a player made it to? or can you explain a little better what you mean?

I’m thinking like at this point, I have an implied minimum score (based on where I am in each bracket). It’s like you start with a minimum of each bracket *-1 and a maximum of each bracket *+4 … does that make sense? As you go, that narrows. If you win a game, your minimum would increase and if you lose your maximum would decrease.

ok, i see what you mean. that should be simple enough. (i think) i'll post it with the next score update. i don't think i can make a spreadsheet formula for it tho. but what i could do is start it once all the round 1 games are finished. that will cut the amount of games i have to pour over down. but i'll see how it goes it may not be too bad with the round 1's also.

Just a thought! It’s kind of hard to stare at and see people with 0 or +1 and no active brackets when you can be at -1 or -2 with guaranteed 4-8 points coming depending on finals.

yeah, it's a good point. i went ahead and did it. it's not too bad of a chore, but i think i will wait til all round 1 games are complete for the next one. that's like double the games i'd have to tabulate each update, and being so early it kind of wouldn't tell a whole lot at that point anyway. all round one are complete in this one.

i also sorted by lowest possible guaranteed score too. which seems like it makes more sense.

[Riskmaster101]

Thanks! It looks great!

yes sir, i'll surely do another after new years. thankfully you've locked in the top spot. i didn't clarify about tie break situations in the OP.

so what i'll do, is all the players that are tied for 2nd, will get to pick a map, and there will be a little round robin between them. from then on any ties needed will be a sudden death classic game. hopefully, 2nd place is uncontested. but it's going to be tight.

i'll have a better plan in the next one for a tiebreak situation.
