Bump* Brackets & times up! sorry for the delay as new teams entered!

trendy11one · #42 07-29-2011, 03:52 PM

Isnt 10 pm GMT little bit late? Usually league starts at 6 pm GMT. And usually after 1 or 2 hours people have to go. Even for GMT+0 finals will be after midnight.

TwistedCookie · #44 07-29-2011, 04:58 PM

the first round starts at 1am to me its way to late for me..

Winters Ark · #45 07-29-2011, 05:02 PM

Those times really need to be changed. That's way too late.

VeRiTaS · #46 07-29-2011, 05:29 PM

Class you better be quick with changing those times , its good for no one.
I am wondering why would you put them so late at the first place. . .

Patateh · #47 07-29-2011, 06:33 PM

Yeah, it's very late :x

classicallad · #48 07-29-2011, 10:15 PM

oky doky, what times suit people best? 5-6 gmt?

classicallad · #49 07-29-2011, 10:25 PM

please see that times have been changed..

trendy11one · #50 07-29-2011, 10:31 PM

Good times now.

Btw, can you specify rules of 1st week? full random or what?

Standard APL rules apply, with 1 sub allowed per team, the sub however can be brought in & out the game at any time so long as the player that will be replaced has specced already.

Standard 5v5 TBD this round, something a little different next week.

Emergency · #52 07-30-2011, 05:05 PM

So this is a setup for a bracket style tournament, how do reschedules work?

For instance, [51] won't be able to field five members tomorrow (not sure if they've seen the new times but...) does that mean, that is a win for a no-show?

And even if we don't play a match for that particular round, I'm assuming we hold up the whole entire bracket of that pool. Either 51/Ai would have to fight the winner of KLF/fLb. But it's undecided who would've one between 51 and Ai. How exactly would that work?

u forfeit because u cannot field people when u have an unlimited roster size for Pwned

When posting something like this, it might be of benefit to your cause to make it less of a command and more of a polite request or suggestion.

To the administrators of pwned, although I know it probably doesn't matter at this point, I, too, would support Origami Park's replacement.

VeRiTaS · #58 07-31-2011, 02:23 PM

tiping from my phone makes me not want to type something that is not completly necesery . . . But yea that was not a command.

I'm not saying you have to be verbose. Though you may not have meant it that way, by starting your sentence with a verb and ending it with a period, your post was a command.

"Clean the house." "Don't be bad at ladder." "Drive slower." "Exchange Origami Park with something like heights or something." Those are commands.

"Would you please clean the house?" "Could you exchange Origami Park for another map?" Those are requests.

"You would frighten your passengers less if you drove more slowly." "I don't think Origami Park is a good map. I think many players would appreciate Origami Park being exchanged for a different map." Those are suggestions.

Just offering helpful tips!

I think he's Serbian? Anyway, in most cases not all 5 maps will be played out so it won't be an issue.

Emergency · #61 07-31-2011, 04:16 PM

=_= The tournament dates are this week and next week, yet the whole bracket is setup for one day.

Ah, i should have made it more clear in the OP that pwned will run as 2 seperate events. The results from week 1 will seed the teams for week 2. That way all teams get to play both weeks. The point of this is to get teams warmed up for APL. APL preseason, as Evil said will begin the sunday after pwned! week2.

Hope this clears it up for you? =)

So... we play one match today? Then the results of today's one match will carry to the next?

If that's the case, why the times listed imply it's still one day? xD

If I understand correctly, we play the entire tournament today, then the rankings seed us to play an entire second tournament in a week

classicallad · #66 07-31-2011, 05:57 PM

[51] get a bye this week as unfortunately AI cant make it this week.

[51] will now play the winner of KLF Vs fLb at 530 Altitude time.

I know what I posted , thx for the tips . But what I mean is that I did that in a big hurry from my phone at work . I know the difference just didn't have time . So just putted it loud and clear meaning to be a suggestions .

Yo I might record the finals
It's this sunday ? What time again ?

Ribilla · #69 08-01-2011, 10:10 PM

zomg i didnt even consider perkless!!

Week 2 will up in an hour or so

classicallad · #71 08-02-2011, 12:58 AM

Bump* Week 2 up! If enough of you guys want a different time then please say, and i know the format isn't completely flawless but i think on many levels it should work well.

I'll need team captains to just post a quick hola to confirm that they will be partaking in week 2.

blln4lyf · #72 08-02-2011, 02:10 AM

So let me get this straight...if qq won all 7 games they would get 7 points for this week?

Let's assume (this is completely hypothetical) Klf wins 6 games and Flb wins 5, Klf would get 12 points and Flb would be get 15 points, and even though qq would have gone undefeated both weeks, Klf and Flb would play in the finals because they would have more points? If this is correct, the point system for week 2 based off seeding is completely f*cked.

Fartface · #73 08-02-2011, 02:28 AM

I don't get it it seems to me that the teams that did better in the bracket are at a disadvantage now... Plus if Ai shows up they're bound to win a few games for 8 points each and probably make it to finals...

classicallad · #74 08-02-2011, 02:58 AM

qq accrued 8 points from week 1, ( 3rd games dont count as it was BO)

KLF's maximum score after week 2 would be 20 (not taking points for n/s's)
qq's maximum " " 20 ( including the bonus of 3 points for winning W1)
fLb 25
[51] 32
Akk 38
FRO 44
Orion 49
Ai 56

This way teams like FRO and AI who underperformed get a real chance at winning. Teams like Akk, 51 and Orion have some incentive to up their performance and the teams that were strong in week 1 will have to carry that through to week2 to be in the final.

Honestly that is retarded. So winning out in week 1 gave us the worst overall odds of making the finals. Should of just not showed like Ai did and then we could of only won 3 or 4 of the 7 games this week and easily made the finals.

In what world does it make sense that if a team goes undefeated in both weeks of a tourney, they can not make the Finals?

PS, your also making week 1 worth about 1/5th as much as week 2 is worth on average.

both weeks are ran as seperate events blln, so week 1 victory is yours, if you want both crowns your going to have to sweat for it.

Im trying really hard to make this work for everyone so please be subtle with your critcism =) , and we both know that n/s are horrible - after all we all want to play don't we?

Fartface · #77 08-02-2011, 03:25 AM

Class I really like the idea of a round robin, gonna be faster and more fun that way, but really, why don't you just make all wins worth the same amount of points... so much simpler and more sensible that way and if any teams are tied afterwards they can play a tiebreaker game... tbh I doubt a lot of people on clans like KLF and qq will show considering that all a clan like Ai has to do is win against 7th, 6th, and 5th placed teams to kick us out of the finals, even if we beat all 7 of the other teams which would end up being a total waste of time. I recognize that you're on klf yourself and that it's hard to get these things to work but this is kinda ridiculous. If you want this week to be a separate tourney from last week I'm fine with that but then why not give everyone an equal chance

No, see we can win every game and still not make the finals due to us getting 1/8th the points per win as Ai, etc etc. It's hard to be subtle when you made it so a team can go undefeated and yet finish in 4th or 5th place because all the other teams are getting a massive amount of points more per win. I don't see how it makes sense how Ai can literally catch up to everything qq did in week 1 by just winning 1 game.

At the very least the winner of week 1 should auto be in the Finals to determine the overall winner, but I strongly disagree with this set up and I'd be saying that even if qq went 5-2 or 2-5 in week 1.

Mt.Vesuvius · #79 08-02-2011, 03:32 AM

As a neutral party I would agree with blln here

classicallad · #80 08-02-2011, 03:35 AM

I know you would blln, you dont need to say it, its cool.

Really though, the more i think about it the more i think it will make for some really hard fought games.

I do totally see your points though blln and fart, but i need to hear what other people have to say before i make any drastic changes if any.

I guess opening registration for week 2 will kind of determine weather people are game or not.

Is it really that flawed?? Am i really really stupid lol?

I think it'll work just fine, voices i neeeed voices!!
