here's to hoping that greg and i can weasel our way into the pro bracket

at worst, we get top seed in the amateur bracket

so w/e w/e

 

[g-regulate]

yea but this time its different, and ill explain to you why.

theres a 16 man pro bracket. those 16 people have to BE THERE at the venue, and everyone else gets put in the "amatuer" bracket. if some of those 16 people arent there, like say ADHD and Atomsk, then the NEXT 2 people will be put in the pro bracket automatically.

the amateur bracket starts, and then ADHD and Atomsk show up mid way saying they wanna be in the pro bracket. now theres too many people to fill the top 16, and the 2 people who were "bumped up", are now "left out" of the amateur bracket because it's already started, solely because adhd and atomsk didnt enter.

thats what im trying to avoid because itll be a disaster


also, "getting out" of the amateur bracket shouldnt be terribly hard, considering the top 16 of the amateurs will make it. who knows if more than 16 people outside of the pro bracket will even show up?

Okay, well I have their numbers so a simple call to see where they are and when they will arrive will solve that problem.

 

[Coney]

if this were any other community i'd normally say people could just grow a set and not let people enter late

but that never happens

so oooooh well, we'll see what happens

also, "getting out" of the amateur bracket shouldnt be terribly hard, considering the top 16 of the amateurs will make it. who knows if more than 16 people outside of the pro bracket will even show up?

only the top 8 of the amateur bracket, top 16 would be a cinch

still not difficult, especially with most of the heavy hitters out of the picture, but a big difference

 

[TheTantalus]

If i've entered people automatically-

I won't change it back. If g-reg and coney get bumped up and we start amateurs- there will be no reversal. I'm stressing that everyone needs to be AT THE VENUE AT 12PM.

CHUDAT, IF YOU ARE NOT AT THE VENUE ON TIME, YOU WONT GET ENTERED. (And anyone else who is chronically late)

However, if you call me, and say "i'm on my way, please make sure i'm entered, i'm definitely gonna be there" then yes, we're good

As of now Greg, i've asked everyone in pro bracket and they all seem like they're gonna show, but many are still iffy

Thanks btw, HAT is bumped to amateurs for now

 

[g-regulate]

theres a difference between letting someone enter "late" and letting someone enter "after 1st round matches have already started".

sometimes ive let people enter "late", but only if it doesnt mess with the bracket. i just put them in a part of the bracket where 1st round matches havent begun. that way the bracket doesnt mess up. its after the tournament has already begun that being late is a big problem

 

[NeverKnowsBest]

Thanks btw, HAT is bumped to amateurs for now

Blown.

HAT go to your visitors messages. It will make you feel better.

 

[TheTantalus]

right, agreed, basically if you're coming for pros and you can't be there right on time, I need to know about it, ASAP that day

or just be here on time

Once i get the amateurs rolling, i've already committed the pro bracket 16, so it can't be edited for pro entries without completely redoing amateurs. So there will be no forgiveness to pros who don't make it on time or don't call me before then.

amateurs can enter late i suppose if its not trouble, but if it is, tough luck

 

[Deez.]

Yo Tant where do i stand on the pro brackets do i have any shot of being able to be moved up in there? how close am I?

 

[TheTantalus]

2 people would have to not show up

 

[slikvik]

Deez, azen and omni prob wont go and korn prob wont even enter so ur prob in

 

[TheTantalus]

All I can say about people not showing is- Don't count on it. From what I've heard all 16 players are trying to be here.

 

[KORNNNNN~]

I'm going to enter this tourney -.- lol nice assuming vik

and I'm going to pay $18 less at this...
since I never get the money back from last time....... lol sigh

[hova]

[g-regulate]

[Seagull Joe]

[ChaosKnight]

you know it dosent matter cause you gotta get top 16 right ?? loool

 

[TheTantalus]

Well top 8 in amateurs advance
Seagull you'll more than likely be an 8 in seeding

 

[NeverKnowsBest]

What am I tant? 1st?

 

[TheTantalus]

NKB, you're near bottom seed because you have no points! (Get *****!)

You'll just have to prove yourself by taking on the masses. You got this!

 

[Seagull Joe]

I hope I don't get 9th for the 4th time in a row O_O.

[hova]

amateur bracket should be seeded on skill and not points

 

[ADHD]

There.

10char

 

[NeverKnowsBest]

Good **** ADHD!

 

[SOVAman]

amateur bracket should be seeded on skill and not points

This makes a lot more sense

 

[Isatis]

So, the pro bracket is for the top 16, and the amateur bracket is for everyone?

Or is the pro bracket for the top 16, and amateur HAT through NinjaLink with nobody else allowed to enter?

 

[hova]

amateur bracket is for anyone who shows up to the tourney without enough points for the Pro bracket
