Hi, don’t really have time to go digging through the weeds as I’m on vacation and already running at a PM/DM deficit, but I was told by someone that hosts are requesting both managers to submit their picks at the same time for the tiebreaker.
Historically, the higher seed submits second and the lower seed sends first for tiebreaks. Why? Because this assures repeats are avoided and it gives the higher seed the advantage in planning out their tiebreak. Repeats (among tiers picked by teams) aren’t typically allowed in tiebreaks, but this isn’t really as big of a deal. Nullifying the advantage of the higher seed is probably the bigger deal and seems to be done without any other benefit to outweigh it.
You guys can do whatever you want with your subforum tournaments technically, but I don’t think it makes sense to remove the advantage of the higher seed submitting second and having “precedent” for something doesn’t matter if it’s downright worse/wrong.
