I hope he goes far
So do I.
I would have to say though, most of my previous 1v1 games have started/ended badly.
But for these first 8 games I think I started with 6 of them going first.
well i'm a 5th seed, go figure, didn't know i ranked so high. And i got you gilligan, a very tough opponent indeed.. Good Luck and thanks for putting on the tournament, it should be a fun one.
I can't believe nobody pmed me about this. I helped with several of these and 8 Thoughts was my concept., granted, his art far exceeded my expectations and probably makes the map.

Coleman, I apologize...I thought you visited the tournament section. I'll put you as a reserve, that's the best I can do. Sorry pal
just noticed you had a link to the bracket. maybe it's too late to talk about it, but I don't think you set it up properly
Maybe I'm looking at it wrong, but this looks like the number one seed will play the number three seed if both win. And, on the same side of the bracket, the fifth and seventh will play.
I think you have this backwards. It should be setup in such a way that if the higher seed wins the second round setup would be
1v8
2v7
3v6
4v5
and the third round
1v4
2v3
and finally
1v2
this is why you seed. so that top players winning will meet in later rounds.
Myself and Fancy B are 4-2, with myself winning on Montreal, Circus Maximus, 8 Thoughts, and King of the Mountains, and Fancy B winning on Indochina and Canadia.

I don't like that at all. If I'm going to have to beat a top seed anyways, I'd prefer it to be earlier. The way it is now, I have to play 8 game series against cooks and cadets, where even when I win 7/8, I lose points. Tournaments should seed so that top players meet earlier, not later.
I tend to agree with Baldadonis, since tournaments are not just about winning and losing. I there were no points won or lost in a tournament on CC, then I would see the need to place higher seeds the way you said Edbeard.
Of the counter argument would be that if you win 6 or 7 of 8, you win more points than you lose, but I still agree with Baldadonis
Did I set it up wrong? It's easily fixable. I apologize if I did. Can you tell me what is right? I'd rather set it up the correct way than the wrong way.
What Edbeard described is the correct way for a tournament to be set up so that the top rated teams are not playing each other in the early rounds. Like no one wants to see New England play Indianpolis in the first round of the NFL playoffs. Fortunately that won't happen.
