All the other rooms in the building were being used for testing and a speech and debate tournament, so we had to wait for the testing to finish before we could get a room.

The world may never know.
By the way I think it's worth mentioning that I have no idea who JB was talking about.
So, top that.

from what i can see, Jesse, Boback, Andre and Nick were the only ones that could be added in. Both Boback and Nick have done well in the other amateur brackets and rightly deserved their spots. Andre was most likely based on how he did at GSG, and Jesse has been rapidly improving and more than proved why the TOs put him where he was.
Everyone else in the Amateur bracket has either been inactive or has done nothing spectacular.
I of course could be completely wrong as I wasn't there and cannot read others minds.

lmao ur right thegoat
too good
too good
depends.
don't take that frotaz.
people just need to show up.
word, just say gsg2.
i don't think jesse has much at all. as for the other 3 and derek, i agree.
^reread that before you think i said jesse is bad, i just don't think he has results that support what you're saying besides this tournament. i know jesse is good, he's been a potential problem for a minute he just hasn't been active, much like berto/hypethug with proper practice.

jesse was better than everyone in the amateur bracket
yes i'm using results from this tournament to justify it
but i felt like it was the right choice before the tournament too

there were quite a few people seeded out of the amateur bracket because at one point, there was some intention of having a 32-man amateur bracket
Why? I don't know, although there's no reason to believe that it's strictly inferior to only seeding out ranked players or anything else equally arbitrary
Anyway, that idea got shot out the window when we had to patch up some late registrants that we missed, but by then, half the first round had been played so we couldn't really easily pull more players back down
In a perfect world, we would've started on time and done conventional pools instead of this stuff; whatever we actually ended up doing was just rolling with the punches

I have the bracket. Has anyone made an AIB page for the tournament? If so then they need to tell me so I can give them the file to post. Otherwise, I will make the page and upload it. Lunin/Chase should let me know as soon as possible so people can see it soon.
Regarding the pro/am brackets, at some point the separation into pro/am brackets is just an arbitrary dividing line based on our judgment of players' skills, and often this line ends up being in a skill level where there isn't a whole lot of factual data, so my criteria for drawing that line are twofold:
Any place where there is a 'noticeable' quantum leap in skill level. 20 is an arbitrary number, so a cutoff based on who is ranked or not is equally arbitrary. We only rank 20 because it's a 'nice' number, not because there's anything special about the 20th ranked player compared to the 21st.
And second, any place where practical considerations (e.g. a 'convenient' number of people in both brackets) make it a good idea. In the future, I think if time is a factor, I think we maybe ought to take top 6, since that saves 3 rounds of play (well, really only 2 since basically always we're waiting for loser's bracket to catch up to that point) over top 4. This is assuming around 32 entrants; for closer to 16, top 4 is fine.

im sad i didnt get in the am bracket
I talk a lot of ****, but I'm always truthful in what I am saying. I've talked **** on norcal before, but right now, they are better than us.
With Mango not giving a **** and being essentially useless to Socal as far as repping us, with Zhu and lucky johning about "we just suck at locals", with me having problems with kooky matchups, and with norcal's 2nd tier players outnumbering ours, it's becoming clear that Socal is being outclassed at the moment, at least when you look at placings lately.
Socal needs to step it up to catch up. Norcal is better, but only by a bit. It became clear over the weekend.

Thank you so much, everyone, for making this such an awesome experience!
I mostly wanna thank HMW, for going through so much trouble to get me to Norcal, providing transportation, etc etc.
