An Evolutionary Tournament II [Winner: Taurelias]

by **Woodruff** on Sun Feb 08, 2009 12:15 am

Finally, I have an alternate in the tournament for para...welcome to Miandw, who faces off against our #4 seed in the
entire tournament. And Miandw got a tremendous drop, so if Nephilim wins this one, he worked for it.

Thanks again, Miandw!

Interestingly, the top 14 seeds have all (except Nephilim at #4 who just started his first-round game) all won. In fact, none of them have lost yet, for those who have played two or even three games.

I find this fascinating, because I would have expected a BIT more variance than that in a 1-vs-1 game, given that it can be a bit random sometimes.

Here's a test to see if my new bracket attempts will actually work:

I think it may be because it is not an image...rather it is a pdf.

If you print screen it then paste it into paint, you can upload that to photobucket or imageshack and use that with the bigimg tags. (which is what i did) You get:

There may be another way of doing this but i don't know.

PS. feel free to quote this and use the link, unless you need access to it.

Ok everyone, since banana_hammocks was kind enough to put this here (thank you, dude), we may as well take a look at it to tell me what you think. Would this be useful for understanding the tournament layout? Suggested improvements? Feel free to discuss here!

Having my nick in big and green makes me happy, cause I'm shallow like that. Don't change anything :lol:

Seriously, the current system you have is fine to keep track of who's still in and who we might be facing but this is more visually appealing and all-inclusive, so yeah nice job

I was thinking this is a little more..."easy to read", I guess? The other thing I like is that this gives a much better picture of "who you could play in the future", which (in my opinion) is nice...lets you form those "what if scenarios".

Once I can figure out my best way of posting these, I'll have all of the brackets listed as well as all of the "drop points" (I'm not sure if this will happen before my next tournament <smile>)...then you can even see where you go "if you lose", which is nice too.

No, I think the graphic readability caused you a little problem...here's the situation as it currently stands:

Taurelias defeated amazzony. He will play the winner between you and A62 (which will be the loser of killmanic and Poisonous86 in Bracket A). So once they're done, you play the loser of it and then the winner of that game will play Taurelias. Sorry for the confusion, and I hope that makes sense. If it doesn't, let me know so I can try to clarify it again.
