Apex 2013 - Pools up in OP! - Only at the door for FGC!

[GDX]

People from Canada, like me, need the wifi since our data charges are horrible OOC.

oh. Well then OOC people thats a legit reason

Any US citizen can hold that **** though

 

[Эикельманн [РУС]]

It's not for me. It's for my girlfriend so that she can do school work.

 

[Rayzor]

ANYONE NEARBY HAVE I PLACE I CAN CRASH?????????????????????????????

I can give you like 20-30 bucks or order a whole bunch of pizza while I'm there, and drive you to the competition if you don't wanna waste your gas.

PLSPLSPLSPLSPLS I'm coming from 4 hours away and I really don't wanna drop like $80+ on a hotel room or sleep in my car.

Yeah you're telling me. After last years apex I had a $600 phone bill. LOL

 

[Froggy]

How long until pools are posted?

 

[Heartstring]

Yeah you're telling me. After last years apex I had a $600 phone bill. LOL

I had the same thing, got home and found myself with £300 bill. I knew it was going to be a bit bad. but not THAT bad

 

[Renth]

I'm sure this has been answered a million times, I'm curious or if someone could link me to a detailed list

to what exactly "Bracket Pools" are?

 

[Juggleguy]

The bracket pool format being used this year basically looks like: a 10 player bracket in which 6 players receive byes, with the final two in winners awarded "first seed" into the main bracket, and the final two in losers awarded "second seed" into the main bracket. Winners Finals and Losers Semis are not played out.

 

[Raziek]

theres really no reason any of us should be on the wifi of the venue. And most hotels have some sort of internet just have to check with your front desk

THIS RIGHT HERE.

I was smart, and turned off my data usage so I could only use the wifi. Saved me a massive phone bill.

 

[Bl@ckChris]

I thought we would get a full top 4 seeding. Interesting that it won't be played out.

 

[007-jake]

Will be at the venue friday as early as 11am, looking for melee friendlies. Any of you melee people gonna be there?

 

[Strong Badam]

hundreds will be

ya i was under the impression they'd seed out to 4th seed (meaning WF and LS would be played out, but GF wouldn't)

You're drunk.
Go home.

 

[Alex Strife]

no point. We are reseeding it from that point on.

 

[GDX]

Yea with top 4 getting out there's no point to play out to any finals matches. Only necessary if top 2-3 get out.

Especially since some people would have 4 losses in tourney.

 

[Ishiey]

no point. We are reseeding it from that point on.

Why are you holding pools... if you're re-seeding after pools? Or do you just mean that 1st/2nd are in one category and 3rd/4th in another because there won't be grand finals in pools?

 

[Keitaro]

I really don't think the amount of losses matter in tourney until bracket. Especially compared to how we usually do pools at Nationals with top 4 or so getting out where people had up to 5 losses. In the smash community at least that is common and the type of bracket pools we are doing are done for a faster schedule to get into a 128 man bracket.

If we followed bracket pools of EVO strictly we wouldn't reset the bracket.

Edit: Some level of re-seeding is almost always done after pools or it would end up like SRT's bracket.

 

[Mahone]

****kk its too late to sign up, does anyone not wanna go anymore and give me their spot for some dough?

 

[Ryobeat]

Is anyone staying at the Howard Johnson express Inn that wanna play friendlies at some point?

 

[AllyKnight]

Ear infection + cut in the finger. I'm ready for Apex!

 

[B_AWAL]

Ignore this post I watched SKTAR

 

[Djent]

Yeah should be up Tuesday evening.

Yay!

 

[W.C.N]

If you lose why would you get to be first?

 

[Djent]

How will the bracket reset work with the Apex seeding points? When you reset it, are 1st and 2nd seeds (Nairo and Ally, or M2K and Peepee) guaranteed to be on opposite sides of the bracket, assuming they don't lose? Will the 16th seed be playing the 1st seed the round before WQF (as is typical)? In other words, do the Apex seeding points predetermine large portions of the bracket (as I expected them to), or are seeded players still going to get floated around a lot?

 

[B_AWAL]

I was saying someone could fight up through losers but... its fine. That just complicates things.

*reading Brawl Teams*

& Holy **** Junebug is GOING!!! & Rayku??? Chudat!!! Why aren't Chu & JUnebug teaming??? Well... Anti is going nvm... Mekos & DEHF??? TF??? No ESPY :'(

Top teams will be

I have no ****ing clue!!!

 

[J.Shadows]

Doesn't matter all you have to worry about is not losing

 

[B_AWAL]

Doesn't matter all you have to worry about is not losing

Winning is all that matters



I noticed via Seeding points...

If top8 win out then

Winners semi's will be

*pause* Holy **** COlbol still plays! *unpause*

PP vs (Hbox/Armada)

vs

M2K vs Mango

Holy ****...

 

[J.Shadows]

Pretty sure a couple of these players don't play anymore but just wanted to go to apex because well it's apex

 

[Nintendude]

Wasn't Colbol in GFs of Tipped Off 8 this year? Pretty sure he's still somewhat active.

 

[B_AWAL]

Damn... I'm hyped... 2 Hyped....
Idk if I wanna play or watch the whole time!!!

 

[Theftz22]

Can't believe chu didn't enter melee.

 

[Alex Strife]

YOU CANT BELIEVE...**** I went nuts

 

[MintyFlesh]

are pools up / when will they be up? i remember they were supposed to be up soon ?

 

[Kite91]

so why are they doing bracket pools and how exactly do they work i mean there will be grand finals correct

 

[B_AWAL]

Look up SKTAR.... lol

You play a tourney up until WF & LSF

Then the Winner of Winner finals is 1st
Loser of WF is 2nd
Winner of LSF is 3rd
Loser of LSF is 4th

 

[RaptorTEC]

Alex Strife, can you please post a route to get to Apex by only using local rodes coming from Long Island? I find highways to be really scary and would appreciate if I probably make it to Apex in one piece, as I would like to do well in this tournament. Please and thank you.

 

[What's The Point]

Look up SKTAR.... lol

You play a tourney up until WF & LSF

Then the Winner of Winner finals is 1st
Loser of WF is 2nd
Winner of LSF is 3rd
Loser of LSF is 4th

Except they posted and this isn't what they are doing.

You play up to WFs. Both guys in winners are 1st seeds.

You play up to LSF. Both guys in losers are 2nd seeds.

So it'll end with 64 1sts and 64 2nds.

 

[B_AWAL]

Hmmm...

Even less complicated.

Final Bracket is going to be ********

 

[Niko_K]

What is the reasoning for the alternative method of pools? Advantages?
