3 Stock
8 Mins
Round Robin Elimination Pools into Double Elimination.

Seeding based on Average Skill* and Location**
*Determined by TOs and knowledge of previous teamups. Teams that have not teammed before may not be accurately seeded.
**If both players are in the same state but not the same region, then the team will be a "State" team.
**If both players are from different states, then they will be Regionless

Spoiler: Location Example

Team 1: TheKiest (OH) teams with Hilt (KY)
Team 2: Sole (Cbus, OH) teams with SuperNac (Cbus, OH)
Team 3: Katakiri (Central OH/Cbus) teams with Absol (Cinci, OH)

Team 1 is Regionless
Team 2 is Cbus, Ohio
Team 3 is Ohio

Team 2 won't be pooled with Cbus (unless too many Cbus Teams)
Team 3 MIGHT be teamed with other Ohio teams
Team 1 will fill in gaps.

I think this is the most fair way to do the seeding.
Normally Doubles seeding is glanced over very quickly. This time will be different.
Pool sizes will be 5-8 teams per pool depending on the Total Team Count.


Pools will eliminate players to create a 24 team double elimination bracket.
Bracket will be seeded based on Pool Results and Region.

Nothing will be seeded based on Singles Results or matches.
You will be seeded with your Doubles Partner ( )

2nd: 28

Do you have to pre register for singles?

 

[Crow!]

Hey Kiester!

I'll see if I can convince my roommate to come with me to this. No promises, though; he might be in the middle of writing his dissertation at that point.

 

[TheKiest]

Do you have to pre register for singles?

Yes.
This tournament focus is doubles though. If more teams sign up, you will be bumped.

 

[TheKiest]

So I literally found out last minute that someone crossed my name off the venue reservation list and put in an all day show that is coming tomorrow. They won't budge on this.

Tournament is cancelled.

Is there ever going to be another one of these?
