I never submitted a list, so I'm doing that now. Hopefully you guys check it at Best Bout. I didn't go because I had prior commitments that fell through and for other reasons (motivation/slept in/bull****).
Disclaimer being I don't know where to place Corvallis or Binx since they haven't been in anything that I'm referencing as data.
Concise List]

7.0 Brick
WHERE DO I THINK THE OMITTED WOULD BE?
Paul and Allen would be around 6.0. Binx would be around 4.7 to 5.5.
1.) Eggz
Why would this be worth debating? Shane is beastly and everyone knows it. He just needs to show better self control in the tournament setting since he's self-destructive with his habits.
2 & 3.) Jesse then Foos
Jesse is about 2.2 while Foos is about 2.6. I say this because I feel Jesse is better established, and at his current level is more able than Foos. This is not to detract from Foos as he's made great strides lately and has a tendency to play better against people than I do (Foos and Jesse, I guess drunk Shane).
4.) Ratking
Kyle is solid. Consistently places in the same spot and has consistent games against the the same players (loses to Jonny, Foos, has beat Jesse and goes about even, beat myself).
5.) keeper
Five is the best number.
Really though. The last tournaments I've been to, specifically the last, I was knocked out in the following fashion:
Best Bout 7
Defeated Jeffery
Defeated Jonny
Lost to Eggz
Lost to FoosJr
Placed 5 out of 16
6 & 7.) Jonny
I can't help but feel this is a bracket problem. Jonny places higher than me by exactly one spot. So what? If I knocked him into losers', why on Earth should him having an easier losers' bracket automatically place him higher on the PR after getting knocked into losers' by someone that's ranked lower than: Eggz, Jesse, or Ratking?
Best Bout 7
Winners' bracket
Defeated Brick
Lost to Keeper
Losers' bracket
Defeated ****ard
Defeated Postman
Defeated Ratking
Lost to FoosJr
Placed 4th
Best Bout 8
Winners' bracket
Bye
Lost to Cat Physician
Losers' bracket
Defeated ****ard
Defeated THC
Defeated Ratking
Lost to Foos
Placed 4th
If the same logic wants to be used, he should be outright placed above Ratking, despite Ratking being (what I feel to be) an overall better player. The only person he beats that I don't is Ratking, who I usually have a good set with. If given the same bracket as myself, Jonny would have gone right into Foos. Following the trend, he would have been eliminated then and there and Ratking would have then gotten fourth.
Jordan should be placed about even with him, especially after beating him last weekend and being an ever improving player.
8 & 9.) Mr. Postman and Ryan
This is based on placings and the fact I have seen Postman and Ryan getting much better in the recent times that I've played them. While Ben is cited as improving, I have no experience playing him and his placings are generally lower than these two.
10.) Brick and ****ard
****ard would take priority here, but Brick is up and coming with a very solid puff. I look forward to seeing what both can bring in due time.
I'd like to think I'm the best captain in the NW
You aren't for the sole reason of picking Jesse in Brawl crews.
