Poll
Question:
Which method should be used when making the tournament matchups?
Option 1: Random Number picking, as suggested by AWS2 (See General Discussion--->Egoists)
votes: 6
Option 2: Highest Score Vs Lowest Score
votes: 6
Option 3: Matlu should pair them up
votes: 1
Option 4: By the order of sign-ups. Ex- 1st sign-up vs 16th sign up, 2nd sign up vs 15 sign up.
votes: 0
Option 5: Other
votes: 0
In an attempt to clean up and fix the tournaments as much as possible before holding another, The tournament Directors are attempting to see what the general public likes and then consider using their options.
Note: This is simply a poll for our own knowledge of what is wanted, nothing is guaranteed to be implemented.
Sorry, but im setting them up as highest vs lowest score.
Random number.
I wont even take a vote on this one, because it really does not matter to me. As long as the people stop saying "the brackets were fixed (meaning set-up in a way of favoring someone), or tampered with", other then that, I really dont care how they are set up. But I THINK that the 1st vs 16th, 2nd vs 15th is a general way of doing it. As long as all 16 people come, then there should be no problem.
I'm all for matlu doing it, if he is willing to. This way, nobody can accuse anybody of "fixing" the tournaments... unless they wanna deal with "The God of DuelBoard".
Wtf? so the tournmanet was held by lowest rating vs highest rating? are you guys idiots? i surely hope not.
obviously the fair thing would be put all the names of those participating in the tournament on small pieces of paper. then, you must fold the pieces of paper in which the names of those participating in the tournament have been written on - then put them in a carbboard structure as that of a box or something similar (hat). after that is completed you must draw two random fold pieces of paper from the hat and those two chosen will have to battle each other in the first round in order to advance and claim victory for which they will be very excited for.

Uhuh...that or random number generator!!! ;D
I still say matlu... the reason being is how are any of you to know that what we did was actually fair? We may PRETEND like we did that, not that we would.
That's why I dont like it, I'm sure we'll get accused again of being unfair.
Just remember real quick, the final say of what happens to the tournament comes down to me and tiraspol. Not trying to be a dick or anything.
Once again, I am completely ignored.
Tiras also said he doesn't care which method he uses, so you are bascially saying it comes down to you, Gut.
and you guest, im sorry I keep forgetting you too. But yea tiras does care, and it comes down to us 3 decision.
It's okay, I'm only the scorekeeper... that people recommened to be replaced with a machine. :-\

I really don't think I could do it. I could probably somehow make it automatic, but as you guess it would require lot of programming and lot of time, which I don't have at the moment :)
Why would it take a lot of time? Just assign each player a number, then randomly generate two numbers, these players battle each other.
Well nothing is being forced upon you, besides, I don't think the majority of the poll wants you to.
Why does it matter? The best and luckiest players will still end up in the semifinals no matter how the matchups are arranged... I suppose the only thing that could cause a difference is if you match those who you think are the "best" against each other in the early matches, so some get eliminated early. But still the single best will still win in the very end, barring bad luck.
Mcool is right, and me, guest, and tiras decided we are going to leave it as highest vs lowest score, for awhile.
Okay. It's your call. I'll still play :P
when's the next tourney?
well, I did say that highest to lowest was the only fair way besides randomization. So im not going to complain, I just hope I can participate in a tourny, try and have them on Saturdays, because I am tied up on all the Jacksonville Jaguars home games for a while, I have to work...so Saturday is the best tourny day for me...or anytime after 7 eastern time, except thursday...o well, laterz
