yay. thats awesome.

 

[AKARed]

I'm following suit sadly and going to SFSU tourney instead.

 

[einthesuperdog]

I think we'll just turn this into a smashfest, and whoever shows up shows up. If people want to turn it into a small tournament then they can go ahead and make that decision at the time. Hopefully I'll see someone there.

 

[Pink Shinobi]

smashfest it is. Tournament the first week of school feels like taboo anyways.

 

[darkatma]

so when are you guys smashing?
most of us are leaving after dinner, except me coz i'm staying an extra day

 

[Kheffin]

Event says 12-8, but you can probably leave whenever. Dunno if you'll get this in time.

 

[Pink Shinobi]

ummm, smashfest was fun. sorry for it being weird. more ppl showed up then i thought, woopsies. O_O

 

[Kheffin]

Dunno where to ask this, so I guess I'll just ask here and hope someone knowledgeable sees it.

In a pool format, the people who advance first go by W-L record; if the W-L record is the same, then the game count happens. Who would advance in the case of:

Person A) 8-2, who went 0-2 against Person C and 2-0'd everyone (5-1 win record)
Person B) 9-3, who beats C 2-0, loses to A 1-2, beats everyone else 2-0 except one other person, who he 2-1's (5-1 win record)
Person C) 8-2, who 2-0'd everyone else and loses only to B (5-1 win record)

Where we had pools of 6, top 2 advancing.

 

[VANS]

who won? i wish i stayed longer =[

and jeffrey, i believe its person B gets 1st seed, then person C gets 2nd seed
cuz u go by game wins
in the case theres a tie, u choose whoever won out of the 2

i could be completely wrong tho =l

 

[HyugaRicdeau]

The answer is C.
B's game win percentage is 75% (9/12), A's and C's are both 80% (8/10), so B is eliminated first.
Then between A and C, C has the head-to-head, so he gets the spot.

 

[pockyD]

FWIW, at pound 4, first tiebreaker is H2H

as it should be

this doesn't relate directly to your 3-way tie scenario but i'm just throwing it out there

 

[Kheffin]

Vanessa: I think Tristan won 10-0-ing the second pool. I'm not sure though because Paul only wrote initials on the list because he was lazy. And I just realized my above scenario doesn't make any sense because A should have 3 losses, but I'm too lazy to fix; Sheridan answered my question anyways.

Yeah. I just lucked out because Ericson was having a "I just want to have fun and play Falcon" day.

 

[LumpyCPU...]

every time i've played ericson, it was really fun.
davis is cool peepes and i should've came over to smash with you guys.

 

[HyugaRicdeau]

No, that's dumb, n so r u.

 

[MacD]

so if me and someone tie in pools at pound, but i beat him in the pool, i get first seed even if my record is worse?

 

[pockyD]

if he won more sets than you he's higher than you

 

[MacD]

er, i meant like if set wise we both go 5-1 but my game record is like 10-3 and his is 10-2 it would go head to head

or am i making this more complicated than it is

 

[HyugaRicdeau]

In Pocky's scheme, you would get first seed. In mine, you wouldn't.

 

[SuperRad]

I dont get why match record should count more than head to head. I know that you [Sheridan] have said that it is somehow a 'better indicator' of how people will do in the bracket or something, but I think head to head is a better indicator for that.

 

[Pink Shinobi]

whatever it was one dollar. just for funziez, if ya know what i mean. Atma wooped my *** in peach dittoes.

 

[LumpyCPU...]

paul, this debate is bigger than you and your measly one dollar.

I don't really think it is an indicator at all. I see it as just picking the result of one specific match arbitrarily. And beyond that, you can have all sorts of variance and extenuating circumstances come into play if you focus on one set; if you take game record those have a better chance of averaging out. Of course this is all based on principle and theory, I doubt anyone has actually taken statistics on these kinds of things.

 

[Pink Shinobi]

paul, this debate is bigger than you and your measly one dollar.

but i didn't get a dollar.

 

[einthesuperdog]

Sounds like a fun day. I have to apologize sincerely for the weirdness at the beginning. I was not around to handle things because I got called away to work. I had figured that no one was going to show up, and the TV situation would settle itself, but clearly I was wrong on both accounts. Thanks Paul, Ericson, and Tristan for stepping up.

 

[darkatma]
