Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
why the fuck did we have this rule in the first place bruh. Anybody with 2 braincells know that tiebreak week for seeding is a bad idea, apply this to current SCL 100%.
To elaborate on this slightly more, in-tournament rule changes are best avoided because they can give teams competitive advantages over others based on information they didn’t have pre-tour / pre-draft / pre-week.
That is not the case here cause a) exactly zero people knew this was a rule b) even if they did, this changes absolutely nothing about anyone’s draft or lineup planning and c) there’s really no competitive advantage to speak of here at all.
Just to collaborate for future tours. I strongly agree with UT that doesn't make minimal sense to have full TB week for seeding.
I'd also add more Weeks Won and total Games Won as tiebreakers criteria.
Shame that in this specific case they are tied even on that so my idea doesn't really helps here
