I'd like to enter the lightweight and valkyr class.

Okay, it seems registration has slowed down enough - I'm going to make the first copy of the tournament tables.

Remember, entry fees need to be collected before the entrants can begin their first matches. I'll be online collecting them and marking them off from here on in, and will be present at the first match

Does anyone know ufoman's in-game character name?

O yea... ok, I'll fix that at the next update.

Lightweight class is almost full! we can only take 3 more entrants!

We need more entrants for Heavy, Super Heavy, Prom, and especially Valkyrie!

Hey Cunjo, you sure you don't want a more traditional form of pairing, other than just first come first served? Something that reflects a ranking system?

For instance, you could use the death/kill ratio, duel stats, etc etc.

Ah great, I'm against Shape second match if I survive the first! :D

Proximity and JBE Zorg, when can youguys both by on tomorrow or over the weekend? Tomorrow, I can be on from 21-22 GMT or 11-12 GMT and Saturday I can be on pretty much any time.

I'm going to be super busy starting tomorrow and going through the weekend. So if I am able to play any, it will be a pleasant surprise.

In theory, the ideal pairing in elimination events is one that does not put two of the best participants together in the first round. But that is only in theory, it doesn't get "fair" no matter how you put it together. That's why a drawing (random) is better. Right now with the alphabetical order, you can enter a char with a name designed to shift you down to the next match on the list.

Drawing!

Gavan, Duel rating and K:D wouldn't work, since not everyone duels a lot, and while some people run from any fight they can't win to preserve a high K:D, other's just don't f***ing care, and will kill themselves to get home faster (I do it frequently). If you think you can find a solid, analytical and objective way of arranging them, be my guest.

Clay, it's Jeffreson Clay, is it?
List your character names people!

Cyg, correct, though now that the first copy is made, all future entrants will just be appended. The Entrants will be re-paired in the second elimination round by order of elimination anyway, so it shouldn't matter if one of the best players gets knocked out right away, and really, this way, it's not any more fair to pair a top competitor with a newb than with another top competitor - probably even less-so.

I'll consider reshuffling the tables before we begin this weekend (IT BEGINS THIS WEEKEND)
May 18, 2006 Gavan link
Well, nothing's really going to be all that accurate. I just thought that because you were using a traditional tournament table, you might want to use a traditional (albiet flawed, but then so is the table method when we're talking about a video game) method.

Regardless, in the end I could care less. Its your tourney. I'll just fight whoever you put in front of my aap stream.

"I'll just fight whoever you put in front of my aap stream."

Hehe, that's the spirit!

I'll randomize the lineup before the first match on Friday night (hopefully people will be ready by then)

yes cunjo you are correct
