Smogon Superstars V - Playoffs R3

[jake]

For those of you still in the playoffs, please don't play your games listed on the spreadsheet quite yet! FM and I talked about reverting the current bracket to a more traditional doubles elimination bracket so this tournament takes less time/rounds to complete, and we never reached a conclusion together when discussing it. FM is away today iirc, so we'll probably get the chance to finish our discussion tomorrow (and have all of your matches confirmed by then). It's just that if a game is played before we work the bracket out, we can't backtrack and fix it up.

I appreciate your patience while we're clearing the issue up, thanks guys. yan[sogeking] vs Conflict is 100% okay to proceed, though. :)

i'm wondering which advantage will be granted the player who reaches the final through the winner's bracket ? (if there was one in the first place/if there will be one )

We're going to sort through additional concerns about the current bracket, which potentially gives some players certain advantages in an attempt to balance the bracket. No bracket is perfect, but we will try to find the optimal way to proceed to the finals of this tournament without giving unfair advantages where applicable.

The bracket will either remain as-is, or it will be changed to a traditional double elimination bracket, as per most other Smogon double elimination tournaments. If it returns to the traditional format, the player who wins the Winner's Bracket will proceed to Grand Finals, as is standard.

 

[Kevin Garrett]

So much for the triple elimination option in my bracket. :(

 

[FireMage]

And this is why I have a huge disdain for double Elimination. I'm not sure why Eo thought to make it Double Elim

Yea, that's why we never listen to Eo.

 

[BKC]

That gosh darn Eo and his bright ideas! SMFH -_-

 

[Ciele]

I have no idea why Eo is being blamed here.

Anyway, please just use the following bracket:

This is the standard format for double elimination brackets. Seeding based pairings probably aren't accurate simply because they weren't in previous rounds and it's too late to change that since the games have already been played. The current bracket not only has this problem, but it also has much worse ones as well, so please scrap it and use the one in this post (the one pretty much every double elimination tournament uses).

 

[Eo Ut Mortus]

Thanks CL. By the way, it was not my idea; it's been double-elim ever since undisputed hosted this tournament. Blame him for being capable of running a double-elimination tournament I guess?

 

[Bad Ass]

i do not understand what all the difficulty has been with this tournament. we have had 4 successful iterations of it already, it's not like it is impossible to run a double elim tourney...

 

[HeIIraiser]
