Alright. You guys are absolute assholes for attempting to ruin this tournament :(

Anyway, here's what we did. We scrapped the concept of a loser's bracket. From here on out, this is a single-elim tournament. We looked over all the players who hadn't been eliminated as yet and came down to a list of 36 people who were active or interested or simply really good at rby.

36 as you know isn't really a straightforward number for a tournament. So basically, it will go like this: 36 -> 18 -> 9 -> 3 -> 1. In the round of 9, three groups of 3 will be formed with the winner of the groups moving on. The finals will be round robin.

Its a bit complicated but it was the fairest way to get all the people who bothered with the tournament to battle.

With that said, I actually think this round is by far the best because all the players in it know what they're doing (or at least most of them)

No GSC Tradebacks
OHKO Ban
Evasion Ban

Umm, I was part of the first pair to get the second match done, and one of the first to get ready for the first match, and I won my first match, I've been active, and I still don't get in.

Major lame.
 
Me/Heysup are going to do our battle from last round for now if its possible. We have been in contact but just needed to work out a time, and we were going to try and battle now
 
Hey, Icy. Just take over my spot for me. It was late so I just kind of overlooked you. My bad dude.
 
finally. Replied to Shiv's pm

no you didnt :(

if you can, sure. but try to do this round's one for sure either way.

lost 1-0 in best rby match i have ever had (but i rarely play so :/)

gg jmc, hope you win the whole thing.
 
No wrap =o. Looks like Cloyster is going to take a back seat this tournament =P.

I see Ace777 taking this tournament, as he's the only one who isn't straight forward/predictable. Maybe Lesm64 would take a close second.
 
I'd like to point out I have no idea what I'm doing, but I have gotten better after my 2 matches, so hopefully I don't completely suck now.

I'll contact my opponent soon.
 
PM'd Blue Kirby; waiting for a response.

So it looks like there won't be any Loser's Brackets sweeping from me and Sticky. ; _ ;
 
is that a typo or am i really in? exciting!!!

either way, zerowing is on vacation in nyc iirc so it'll be a bit before we can arrange things.
