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.
I agree that the 14 people who have already secured their spots should just be assigned a seed via coinflip or whatever if there's a tie in score. It's not like they're gonna be at an advantage with a higher seed, to be frank.
A really short deadline is necessary for the remaining players who are fighting for the last two spots.
It looks like real work running this, so kudos to you, FireMage.
This playoff for Group winners has always been an intent and follows format (on a slightly larger scale) from previous versions of the tour.
Also, I misread a post, Eo plays PttP and Laurel plays Rewer.
It doesn't matter When I start the proper playoffs, I still have to delay because of determining the final 2 seeds.
+I'm not coinflipping anything until the above matches have had at least 24hours to at least attempt to play. If I'm doing 24hour deadlines then I'm doing it fairly for everyone
Why don't you stop grandstanding so the process that was approved by the TDs for this tournament can be completed? The time for questioning the structure of the tournament has long past. Your harassing the host and making a spectacle of your "withdrawal" isn't going to accomplish anything.
I will be posting next round momentarily, as FireMage is busy and unable to do so at the moment. Currently uncompleted matches will have until tonight before I make activity calls; extensions will only be granted if a time has been scheduled, and it is within a reasonable timeframe.
