[Doctor X]

Let me start by thanking everyone for helping to make this what I'd call the most successful CSC event yet. We had a little bit less in terms of attendance than CSCII, but between our new schedule format and all of our doubles teams showing up and being ready to play by 11, this was easily the smoothest of the large Cincinnati events by far.

I hope everyone had a good time, and I apologize for losing my cool a little bit when dealing with some Challonge annoyances towards the end of the night. Tournament software is never quite as reliable as I'd like it to be. >.<

Thanks to the Dayton guys for the hype crew battle. I hope everybody had fun. Look forward to CSCIV, which should occur sometime in October!

I think I got $270 for Melee and $215 for PM -- not sure why the numbers in your original post are slightly off but whatever.

Good tourney. It was run a lot better than the previous CSC and finished pretty early.

The only issue that I know people will bring up is the bracket pools. I would suggest combining the two waves after round 1 of pools so that people don't end up playing the same players that they just played in round 1 pools. The way we did it yesterday, the players that started in Wave A of round 1 pools were completely segregated from the other half of players in Wave B until top 8.

 

[Doctor X]

A few of the people listed in the results were no-shows who didn't pay. I'm still fiddling with it.

The bracket pools were segregated that way in order to preserve the assurance that nobody had to play in both games at the same time. This was for efficiency and also to address complaints from players who hated having to constantly switch back and forth.

The unfortunate tradeoff is that it makes repeated matchups from pools more likely, as you said. In the future I'll be looking into seeding patterns that will help offset this some. I've already got some suggestions and will hope to implement them next time.

Thanks for coming, though. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

You could take swap two seeds from one set of pools with the same seeds of another. I think the strategy of using bracket waves is a sound one.
ex: Swap all 1st and 3rd seeds between the two waves.

 

[Doctor X]

That was considered, but the problem is those seeds are not guaranteed or likely to be the same people.

Let's say somebody gets a two seed in Melee, and a one seed in PM. They stay where they are in PM, but swap in Melee. Now they're in the same wave for both games.

A lot of this event's format is about choosing the least of multiple evils. :\

great tournament, venue was warm but it was to be expected.
totally not just padding my post count.
