We did not forfeit, the game need not be played, as another team in our bracket is 2-0, and regardless of the outcome, we would not be moving on.

kclborat · Post by **kclborat** » Thu Mar 08, 2007 12:10 am

The reason all games would be played was so that we could rank all teams. Now you are 15. Plus rumor has it you refused to play due to a fear of losing points.

Lame. Grow a pair, guys. Seriously.

I told Gabe that I did not want to play the game because it meant nothing to the tournament, and playing a couple privates when I'm bouncing around the border of being captain doesn't entice me much. Risk losing 25-30 pts for ~15? No thanks.

As far as seeding and future tournaments go, why not have a real tournament with real seeding? Have it single elimination, with real brackets similar to those of any basketball or tennis tournaments. As far as seeding goes, the best and easiest way to do it would be to add up the points of the two players, and rank them that way. Say there are 16 teams, have 2 of each seeds #1-8, and set it up with two brackets, winners of each side meeting in the championship.

That format is far better than random seeding and round robins. I'll partake in any future tournaments in that format.

Well... This tournament was for deciding seeds....

So, by dropping out this early, all you did was make it so you're bottom seed in the next one...

Also, we've won our first match.

Mongoose · Post by **Mongoose** » Thu Mar 08, 2007 8:17 pm

Jeff and I won our second game.

Shadic · Post by **Shadic** » Sat Mar 10, 2007 8:03 pm

You may as well give us our second victory, as well..

All first round games have now either been started or finished. We are waiting only for the last 4 games to finish up. Good luck!

forax · Post by **forax** » Mon Mar 12, 2007 8:24 pm

ugh, bob, would it really hurt to check your turn more than once a day?

kclborat · Post by **kclborat** » Mon Mar 12, 2007 10:42 pm

See, points don't really show the skill. Alan and Gabe's points are probably higher than Forrest's and mine, but we are also advancing. Also, I'd love to play you guys when the tourney is over or when forrest and gabe have games open.

forax · Post by **forax** » Thu Mar 15, 2007 1:49 am

round 2 baby

Shadic · Post by **Shadic** » Sat Mar 17, 2007 12:43 am

And we all know that Shadic and K-AriVo[03] are going to take it all.

Do we get like, something special if we win both games this round?

forax · Post by **forax** » Sat Mar 17, 2007 3:34 am

The three brackets on the left are the different options for the final round. If all 5 teams make it through, then someone will have a bye, and it will then work like a normal bracket until 3 teams are left. Then there will be another round robin, like you played in the first round. If all teams are 1-1, then a final tie-breaker three way game will be played.

If only 4 get through then it will work like a normal bracket.

If 3 get through, that will mean that two of them were 2-0 in the 2nd round and the other was 1-1. The 2-0 teams will play each other for first, and the 1-1 team will win third.

Simple

To answer your question, if you go 2-0 then:
Option one would be eliminated
Option two would mean you got nothing special (sorry)
Option three would mean that you get to play for first

Forax and i won our first game by a brilliant move. 1 down out of 5 for round 2
