The Louisiana Thread: Flarefox Forever - We are alive.

[ChKn]

Eh, I'll find Spring Smash's TIO and post the link.

Here: http://www.mediafire.com/?8mal7h38ld4mqrc

Curlz should have all of the LOSTs(except for one obviously) and Triple F.

Bomber has Chinese Inn and Voodoo Smash?

Justin has Death Valley?

Who has Mechacon and Lousianime?

 

[BSL]

rj might have the chinese inn/voodoo ones

 

[ChKn]

With the image of the bracket, you can just recreate the tio file. lol

 

['V']

From what I understand, it's an Elo system. You input a tio file and it calculates everything for you.

An Elo system that calculates points based off each match from the TIO files you have in a folder. It's pretty amazing.

Someone change the name of the thread so that people send me their **** TIO files. =/

Now that sounds very convenient and even more elaborate.

Edit: Curlz should have LouisiANIME. He was running it. Mechacon was all done on pencil and paper. I'll ask Gary, though I doubt he remembers it.

WHOBO 3 was announced today.

But you're no good with Falco.

[Battousai780]

Point systems are stupid for trying to quantify skill that can't be quantified with numbers.

 

[RjPunch]

No I lost all those when I switched laptops. But it sucks that hobo is the same. I guess I will dominate with Falcon.
Not really

Truth, but the Elo system tries to eliminate that by only allowing match-ups to influence it. Placing doesn't affect the points directly but it does indirectly (winner beats more ppl in a tourney therefore would get more points or generally have a better overall score than a person that went 3-2). I thought that Elo used a standard number for an average however as in Texas started everyone off at 1600 and 1600 is considered average. If you start at zero than there is no penalty for constantly going 0-2 at a tournament and new players are forced into the same category as people that lose often.

I do see what you're saying though Greg. That's why boxing and UFC have judges in case the standard rules of winning aren't used (i.e. KO, TKO, DQ).

Don't mess with me or Carnage will get ya!

 

[Battousai780]

Yeah, just stating my opinion. Doesn't matter much, since things are the way they are. Just felt like posting.

reach uses what i assume is an Elo, and they start at 1000, maybe?

i need to start winning at tourneys so i dont have a low Elo like a certain someone... turaz lol

 

[Turazrok]

Your elo is lower than mine.

Jiovanni, I think your Wii has my memory card in it.

Carnage Rules!

But the judges **** things up and make more drama, i.e Sherk vs. Dunham last weekend.

 

[pickle962]

Hey guys! remember how I said how I'd get revenge on Chkn? Well now's the time! * cuts up chkn and writes Carnage Rules* Oh, be very afraid of me. Carnage is y'alls worst nightmare..And a warning to everyone else..

Knowing him he is gonna put chrome and spinning rims on it.

 

[Sudai]

Elo calculations can use different starting values and different K values (basically a constant multiplier on point cange) depending on how large you want the differences to be, how large you want the point pool to be, and how strong of a point decay formula you use.

But relatively speaking, we just need to pick a starting number and K Value then we're good. I don't think we'll need a decay value because that's only used to avoid "point campers," aka, not entering **** to keep a high point value but like, what's the point of that + just make it so people have to attend x of the last y tournies to be visible on the list and wabamalama.

But I'm just shoop bopin so w/e.

 

[Kalzar]

who the **** is pickle?

ill mm him for 20$


-freddy

 

[Sudai]

His first name is Tommy. He's never been to a tourney and needs to $20 MM every one at Melee, 64, and Brawl

 

[Kalzar]

elo? what the **** is that?

 

[-Ran]

I'm dropping teams as the side event for NOM for both Melee and Brawl since it never happens. I'm looking for suggestions for the side events. I'm not going to Brawl -/+ since it causes a setup to be removed from other events. Only suggest if you attend.

Brawl:
Items - 0
Low Tier - 0
Low Tier Doubles - 0
Random Only - 0

Melee
Items - 0
Low Tier - 0
Low Tier Doubles - 0
Random Only - 0

 

[Battousai780]

items!!!!!

 

[Deleted member]

low tier teams! for 1$ per person!

or random. but the problem is its hard to get people to participate

 

[-Ran]

Just pick one please. Lol.

Awesome song! Hax plxors

I like friendlies personally. Can we just do those? If not, then items.

 

[Sudai]

I'm all about just having friendlies instead of a side tourney. I've always found those to be more fun and keeps more people coming back because it's f-f-f-freeeee.
