Another Duel Tourney ! Capo wins

[uggi121]

Since the games have already started, I guess I'd use Kara Kurt's system for future tourneys and stick to the brackets already assigned for this tournament as it might complicate theings atm.

Thanks Lollipop, however, incase you do enter a tourney, it isn't that hard to inform your opponent that you'd only be available at certain times ;)

[Kara Kurt]

The seeding is good because:

- only decent games are most likely going to happen in semifinal - which will make them more enjoyable / exciting.
- it allows low-skill players earn more experience by facing stronger players, although it's rude for them.
- it prevents high-skill players from being in the same branch of the bracket, which is just disorganized and too "rough paper".

But after some reflections, I think you could also opt to:

- seed the top 4 players in the tournament rather than half.
- do a double-elimination tourney (Winners bracket / Losers bracket)
- or make 2 brackets and put best players into one, and weaker ones into the other; however, I would recommend it only if there's a significant number of reliable players, otherwise it'd be too messy...

One last thing. Actually the map elimination / pick procedure should be like this: A eliminate a map, B eliminated a map and PICK one, then A pick, regardless of ping. That being said, if you want to prioritize high ping players you can make them decide on choosing to eliminate first or not.

Seeding is very subjective atm. Hold off until loads of similar rule tournaments are run to see who should be seeded.

Curiosity sake, why play a second round game when the first round hasn't finished yet?

[uggi121]

Eh it's better to get it done when the people are willing to play and available. The earlier, the better, atleast imo. I don't want this to go on forever like the previous tourney lol

Seems like you guys are unused to tourney matches.
Well, you can justify your lack of aim with the pressure, nervousness, etc, but it's part of the constraints and negative effects in tourneys.

But we don't know who plays who on the second round.

[uggi121]

Well I knew my opponent as he finished his game early :P
