Also I will beat people who I see playing friendlies when its not time to be playing friendlies, that or a harsh tickling (if your too strong for me to pound I'll then resort to "coochy-coo" your arm pits).

Or you could call me in and get me to abuse people like i did with syke in queensland! :D

 

[CAOTIC]

oh ****

 

[Mr. Phantasmo]

My parents have given me the green light to let an out of stater stay at my place during Rambo, the spare bedroom is a little clutted but the bed itself is clutter free.

[LemonManX]

I'm hoping I can come to Ranbat 2.2 so I can actually pay for entry... because I want to come, it'll be super awesome.

 

[Plasia]

You n00bcake Cao. I'm coming. Register me and crap.

 

[Dekar289]

You n00bcake Cao. I'm coming. Register me and crap.

but have you paid?

 

[Sloth]

Hey. I just ended up paying a $360 dollar phone bill. So I wasn't able to order my tickets to Melbourne, as I had previously hoped for.

However I'll still see if I can wing something!

 

[Jei Jei]

u better! im all like "yay bryce is coming ^_^" so dont ruin this for me lol

 

[CAOTIC]

We're hard at work Jeiiiiiii!

 

[Nick_]

Yer cao register me thanks, I'll pay you at the next couch warriors. Also i'll totally house sloth since he's low on cash, and jaz if he wants <3

 

[Mr. Phantasmo]

I can house someone as well so if ya interested just post here.

 

[Ugly Man]

I created this account purely to express interest in here. I'm a La Trobe student, so payment should be easy enough. Just tell me how and I will leap at it. I'll probably also be a first round knock out, so treat me mainly as a way of increasing the pot.

 

[Suntan Luigi]

Wait why is prize money given to 1st and 2nd places only? Shouldn't there be a fight for 3rd place?

 

[Scrubs]

Is the Brawl tourney still single elim?

 

[CAOTIC]

Wait why is prize money given to 1st and 2nd places only? Shouldn't there be a fight for 3rd place?

With prize money being split between 4 events, it's not worth handing out a third prize.

Scrubs - For the time being everything is single elimination. Once the registration deadline passes I'll decide if I can fit in double elimination to some events. If there was only 1 event I could afford to do that on, I'd choose Brawl singles. If there were 2 events I could afford to do that on, I'd also pick Brawl teams. That's why registration is important this year. I'll also release the bracket 1 week early.

 

[Dekar289]

yeah it is

 

[CAOTIC]

OK Deks you smart-arse, how about 3rd place doesn't work if it's single elimination? Think about the bracket for a second. I ain't gonna do 3rd place playoffs for $10.

wub.

I'm hoping with the time we save from doing single elims we can have an interstate crew battle. There's enough of a contingency coming from NSW and SA to do so

 

[Jei Jei]

interstate crew battle *love heart eyes*


<3 <3 <3

 

[Suntan Luigi]

I ain't gonna do 3rd place playoffs for $10.

So that means $50 for first place and $25 for second? Goooooooo Rambo.

 

[CAOTIC]

Assuming 50 people enter (45 people @ $15 each, taking out the 5 tourney directors) and the smash bank (around $200), the prize pot should be around $875. Divide that by 4 and you have roughly $218 per event. Splitting that in the traditional 60/30/10 doesn't justify my time to decide a match where you the 3rd place winner gets $20 (well blow me down, it's $10 x 2 - please shoot me), especially in a single elimination. First placers should receive more, as smaller 1st prize handouts in majors is not very appreciable.

With the above assumptions the following prizes for each event should be something like this:
1st: $150
2nd: $65

 

[Suntan Luigi]

We need more money. Rich people please donate to poor Aussie Ramboers. We need money to feed our children. We don't want to give money to our two oldest children only or else the smallest one will cry. We don't like seeing the smallest ones cry.

I don't know, I find it amusing when people smaller than me cry. But then again, I'm one of those things, you know... those guys... a *******! Thats it!

Also, to re-iterate, whereabouts at La Trobe can I find someone to take my money so that I can enter? I'd prefer not to have to stealth my way in ninja style. Doesn't work with red hair.

 

[Mr. Phantasmo]

Ginger Ninjas are the best ninjas, they posses teh Phir3 like Roy and Ike.


Hey it's April Fools day, some words come out different when you post them. E.g. when I say Ike I mean I k e.

 

[Jaz]

Sonic...

YOU LIED ADAM!

Edit:

I LIED ADAM!

 

[Zant3tsuken]

With the single elim problem, perhaps you only need to single elim Brawl. I mean when you think about it, it's the first major comp and the first clash with interstaters and the first instance that you guys are playing casuals as well. Everyone is still essentially learning the game so perhaps it's not so important for that.

Melee, having running it a lot before should be more predictable to manage double elim. For the record this is how the day is laid out.
8-10am setup
10am-8pm good times
8pm-10pm packup

That should be manageable if you guys aren't running team brawl tournament.

 

[Zant3tsuken]

This is actually what I wrote in the first line above. This forum is seriously making me hallucinate.

 

[Zant3tsuken]

What I meant was B R A W L. **** you april fools! Sorry bout the triple post!

 

[Sloth]

However. You could reverse that staple logic and say its best to run Brawl on a double elimination. As running brawl with the better-scale is another way of giving it serious attention and putting it as the new game everyone should play.

Like when talking with Scrubs last night, he wasn't as interested in attending RAMBO due to the lack of attention on Brawl. i.e Single elimination.

I however see the massive problem for trying to run four events with a lot of people. Single elimination seems like the only logical thing. As Cao said. People are stupid in large groups.
I'm not excited in an interstate crew battle Oh well! Could be cool to watch.

OMIGOD STILL APRILS FOOLS. Melee = Brawl. GG.

 

[Plasia]

Single Elim is gay.

It's worse than the Plasia effect at SEAT1.

 

[Suntan Luigi]

Can't we make Rambo last two days instead of one? This way everything could be double elimination.

 

[CAOTIC]

I can propose to use the Swiss System since there is a strong objection to single elimination. It can be run within the same t.i.m.e.frame as intended but there will be some changes to the way you'll play. On the plus side, everyone will get to verse more people and will not be eliminated. On the negative side, you will not be able to play people in a set, rather, a single match to create a ladder. The highest positions can face off for the cash prizes.

Note - this would only effect Singles for both games. Teams will still be seeded single elimination for both games.

All I need people to do is to vote on this. So get cracking.

PS Cobalt - Apologies, I don't have the resources to run this for 2 days.

 

[MikulOnIce85]

Well in that case i'm going to vote for swiss Cao, more games = fun times.

 

[Redact]

swiss imo <3

 

[Dedu]

Yey for Switzerlanders!

Gotta love their Swiss System.

 

[Devil.]

Definitely swiss.

 

[Suntan Luigi]

How does the Swiss system work?

 

[Redact]

everyone starts at 0 points, then you get placed against someone, play them and if you win, you get a point, if you lose, you get no points
then after everyone has 1 match, then you face off against someone with the same amount of points as you, or as close as possible to that
these rounds keep going so everyone has the same amount of matches against people with generally the same point range
then im guessing there will be a like top 8 or top 4 cut off for a double elim at the end
either way, wiki it

 

[Suntan Luigi]

I like it. Swiss me.
