I'll be brief.
To call me inactive would be foolish. I've been to 5 tourneys this season, and entered singles in three of them. My computer is fully operation. You know my phone works because I called you last night. I also have more direct contact with a far larger player pool than you on a regular basis. I'm not saying you're not a fabulous panelist, with data more organized than my own, but your logic is flawed. In fact, I think I've been to all but one NJ tourney this season. It's only the OOS ones I've missed, and I was at SNES, though not NY or PA. Having Kelvin and Wyatt call me to inform me of results when they compete OOS is not unreasonable at all.
Zucco beat me in tourney, and I think that slightly tips him over the balance on Kai, in addition to the head to head victory.
I propose that in future, rankings are determined only based off of the following matches:
All matches in regular singles tournament, pools and bracket.
All money matches reported or witnessed by a panelist for $5 or more.
All low-tier tourney matches that would result in the winner acquiring money.
All of those sets count, regardless of set count, stage, or circumstance. NO OTHER MATCHES COUNT. This set way is the only way to properly determine whether or not a set is valid. For instance, to say that my win in low tiers counts over Kai is foolish, because Kai did not have the option to pick his Diddy, which would have increased his chance of winning. However, if Kai and I are playing in Winner's Finals of low tiers, this match counts because money is directly on the line, and the players are at a competent enough level to PROVE that the match should count. I can easily say I wasn't trying in a low tier match, especially because it's a side event, and that's the same bad logic that I used when saying MM for less than $5 should count. Excuses and judging must be standard and universal. We cannot properly rank without a standard. There's no point in trying to discuss which is better than another, if we can't even agree on the matches we're using. It's like we always say, NO JOHNS.
Lastly, we need to decide who is in the panel for this upcoming season. I propose that we maintain Inui, Ksizzle, and myself, and add Doom regain Eazy to the panel. Reasoning is as follows:
These players are spread out, and can accurately see how all the players throughout NJ are performing.
These players have all shown reasons why they are resourceful to the panel
These players are all in different crews (EC, SWR, ZB, JUICE, MOB).
First, I believe Inui, Ksizzle and I should discuss my proposal for the rules regarding which matches count for tourney. Then, I believe that we should solidify the incoming rankings list. Lastly, I think that we should discuss who should be on the panel for future seasons. Lucas, Kelvin, your input?
BigM, iKon is definitely better than you, and has more accomplishments.
EDIT: Inui, you are no doubt a good panelist, and well organized to boot, but please do not set yourself up to be foolishly embarrassed. Need I simply point out that you created an incorrect list when you ranked DM above me despite having more wins head to head that season (he beat me the one time, which you used to determine who came out on top), even though I beat him THREE times that season, and you neglected to included a win over ATOMSK in a MM that season?
