And for the record I did beat bum in the 1st set then we decided to split cause it was mad late and employees were complaining and everyone wanted to go home.
tourney was in NY

 

[JFox]

Thanks Eggm, I was actually looking for the one that LK placed third at.

 

[Inui]

I've been keeping an archive of all tournaments that involve NJ players and had those two tournaments archived.

 

[Eggm]

Ah ok I was just trying to help Jay out it seems like he does everything on the boards lol.

 

[Lord Knight]

You're talking about Inui here.

 

[slikvik]

I see a bunch of NJ players are coming to C3. seeya soon

 

[JFox]

So have I actually.

Eggm got death bracketed at NYC. Vanz, Comp, Reik, Sensei, Dire, DJ Nintendo, Wes, Bum.

DAIYUMMM.

And I got a pretty lousy bracket myself- Noob first, Sensei second, D1 third.

 

[Eggm]

I think it was dire 1st dj nintendo 2nd then an ic's/jiggs player then.. dj nintendo again I think vanz another ic's then comp then wes, reik, sensei, then bum. If the player wasn't hard the character they used was for me, my bracket was extremely hard for me all the way through.

 

[Warrior of Zarona]

So is it a yay or a nay for the point system?

Power Rankings can still be done separately, after all. The point system is mainly to encourage more competition and to give NJ something officially delicious to look forward to each month.

 

[Velocity]

id prolly get more points then half the players on the rankings if there were

 

[JFox]

Wouldn't the point system be based more on the amount of tournaments you went to, rather than how well you place?

Granted, a person who goes to 8 tournaments and gets dead last in each won't beat out a guy who goes to 8 tournaments and gets all first. But what about someone who gets like 9th every tourney, but goes to more tournaments than a more inactive player.

 

[Eggm]

I don't like the idea of a points system.

Then that counts for activity, right? Boom, you didn't go to one of the official tournaments, so you don't get points.

Understand something: These tournaments aren't going to be very frequent. They're once a month, with probably at the last 3 weeks in between. You have plenty of time to plan ahead of time to make it to these circuit tournaments.

There may be players that are extremely good at the game, but if they're inactive, it's nothing but wasted talent. The points are given to those who earn it.

Here is the point system for the circuit:

Point System:

Singles

1st 45
2nd 30
3rd 20
4th 15
5th 12
7th 10
9th 8
13th 4
17th 2
25th 1

These points are going to represent three things:

1. Ranking

This is fairly obvious and needs no explanation. The higher you place, the more points you get.

2. Activity

You show up, and you'll get points. You don't show up, and you don't get points. It's as simple as that. The points represent your tournament attendance accordingly. You have to assume that these official tournaments aren't just your run-of-the-mill events, but something bigger. You can always miss the smaller events just fine, but these events will hold more weight. Deciding not to go is your choice, but it hurts your record. The best possible way to get the most amount of points is to try and enter every single tournament in the circuit, but then again, even by entering all of these tournaments, a player getting 1st in one event already puts him ahead.

With the current system being planned, by your example, 1st place gets 45 points, while 9th place only gets 8 points. Assuming there are 8 events, even if a player constantly gets 9th place, he only has 64 points. Meanwhile, a player who only entered two events won first each time and is already resting easy at 90 points. This makes it so that though activity still counts, it's not the main determining factor for your point rank placing. However, there's this scenario.

One player wins 1st five out of eight but doesn't enter the last three events. That's 225 in the bag. The second player wins 2nd place at those five events but 1st in the three other events the first player didn't enter. That's 240. Theoretically, even though the 1st player placed 1st in more events, the 2nd player has more points because he continued to gain them through his attendance. This is where activity will trump another player. In reality, the first player, unless through some sort of emergency, will probably attend these last few events if he cares about staying in 1st. After all, he only needs at the most 16 more points to stay ahead of the competition.

Remember that these are THE tournaments to go to. It's not just another weekend tournament to go to just because you're free, but something you want to keep open in your schedule because it's an important event. There's always going to be a winner for the tournaments, and someone is going to get these 45 points each time. The question is whether or not the person in 1st will stay there or not. If M2K never goes to the NJ tournaments as others say, then it's up for anyone - But you have to be there to grab it.

3. Seeding

After a series of 3 or 4 events, which will be planned later on, a bigger event will be held statewide. There will be more exposure, coverage, and prizes on the line. The points you've accumulated up to this point will determine how you're seeded, so naturally, you would want the highest amount of points to get the easiest bracket possible. After all the competition and tension when it comes to building points, it all comes down to this. You want to defeat a certain player, or perhaps you have a rivalry? This is where you end it.

If you don't like it just because you don't like a points system, then that's fine. However, not liking it because you think it won't work is simply dumb, because it obviously does. The Midwest and the Kishes, who modified this system, are proof of that.

Folks, it's not like I'm trying to be innovative - this is a system that's been used in the past, and successfully if I might add. It's all a matter of how much effort you, as smashers in a competitive community, want to put in.

 

[Eggm]

Even if you have months to prepare to go, if something happens and you miss one and your rivals or people you wanna prove yourself against like you mentioned go to all 4 you are pretty screwed espically if that person is really close to you for example. Also the people like m2k who might not want to go will end up maybe not being 1st because of that and arguments will start up after that I kinda like the way its done now with panelists and the bimonthly thing and how you have to attend a certain amount of in and out of state tournaments to qualify theres nothing wrong with that unless you have biased panelists, which i don't think theres any problem cept maybe inui but even hes not that horrible I suppose.

 

[Magus420]

I think having the circuit standings list in addition to the normal rankings list like WoZ suggested earlier would be the best way to go. It would encourage more competition while still retaining the accuracy of a PR list that is more thought out.

 

[Warrior of Zarona]

Right.

Really, Power Rankings =/= Circuit Point Standing.

I'm more geared at making this more circuit/competition driven than rank driven, though the circuit points can definitely help contribute to your deciding factors.

I think that should work out quite well.

 

[Eggm]

Oh I didn't realize they were separate thats cool then.

 

[CopyCat]

Yes New Jersey is going to be the s***

 

[Sensei]

I am going to be the first one with balls and say it. NJ will become the best state in Smash. Even better than VA. Lets see if any VA players see this and say something lol.

 

[Eggm]

I'll be sure to back those words up saturday.

 

[Keitaro]

C3! Nj go there and take over!

The Circuit idea sounds great as it will hopefully cause more people to enter tourneys but it would be a good idea to also have the originally power rankings list seperate from it somewhere.

So then the circuit is good to go. SMASHACRE will be the start of it.

I'll also want some tournament hosts who are interested in being a part of it. I'm looking for locations in Central and South NJ as well, if any.

Cheezit, I know you're interested, so we'll talk about it.

 

[pockyD]

so will the points given per place be universal (same for all tournaments) or different based on individual turnout?

 

[DrSuperSteve]

so anything going on in nj this weekend?? other than ranking discussions

 

[Inui]

Seperate looks fine to me.
