So I am definitely coming to this, I miss my Chicago smash homies! Its been a while since I've been to a CoD tournament. I hope the D&D crew will be there so we can smite them with our +6 battle axes. The tournament won't be the same without Kochia/Wise Lugia/Ray Chun LOL.

Jason, I can give you a ride to this and house you for a couple days/drive you to airport if you need it. Just try and let me know ASAP. Hit this ***** up.

I plan to style on many b1tches, starting with Wayne. XD. MM me ho.

Sveet, I want to knock you out of the tournament but I see you've johned out already. How surprising.

Kyle, I plan to dominate you. Who do you play again?

John9Blue, you are getting called out. I will beat you in so many ways its unfathomable to me.

Roy, you better come to this or else.

Drew, we need to get some games. You whooped me pretty bad at sakurai. I'm salty.

Chris, we better play in tournament. Our sets are always so close and awesome. This time you're going down.

Kels, you just fcuking suck. not much else to say LOL.

Rat, I almost forgot about your punk ***. The rise of the rat is over.

Cary, I can't talk **** to you cuz you are just too cool. Too bad im gonna own you anyway. ownd.

Dart, would be awesome to see you again. be here ***.

Thats right, n1ggas getting called out. Who else wants some of this???



This video sums up my thoughts.

hey can we do this all pools?

I haven't been in a pure Round Robin tournament in a while. That would be nice.

this is sooo far for you unknown :p, but it woulddd be good competition.

also, all round robins for singles huh? that kinda sounds amazing...if big Ds down for it, i am....ppl will deff need to bring setups tho...need as much as last time to run it correctly. i figure we do a top 4 cut to a final 8 man RR pool.

something like: figure at most, 32 ppl....4 pools of 8....top 4 move on to 2, 8 men pools, then top 4 to the final 8 man pool. would work.

idk...we can get input from ppl before then.

yeah that's what i'm talking about!

As long as we have enough tvs I don't think it would be a problem.


edit: Sveet! get them vidya's uploaded!

swiss is where you pair people off one round at a time, and you play people with the same record as you every round

so first round is total random, second round everyone who wins plays against someone else who won and everyone who loses plays against someone who lost, and so on

it creates a really accurate ranking, but makes the later rounds of the tournament not that exciting

im down for all pools or swiss, triple elimination is really complex i think

it wouldn't be hard. instead of drawing the bracket going in 2 directions like this:

loser bracket _ first round _ winner bracket
<________________||_________________>

draw them all separate like this:

first round _ winner bracket
||______________>

loser bracket
||___________________>

you suck bracket
||________________________________>

Well there's not an entirely new bracket each time you lose.

It's basically a points system. Winning nets 3 points, losing get 0 and a draw gets 1.

All Pools is the most accurate system, but takes the most time. Also has the problem of being anticlimactic. Which is why having a cut-off into a bracket is awesome.

rats talking about swiss and sveet is talking about triple elim

upon reflection, yeah triple elim is not that bad

edit: upon second reflection, it will take some tinkering to get the rounds to work out right

edit2: but thats where tink comes in

edit3: even when i run swiss rat, i wont run a tourney with draws, nobody is happy about that
