More questions:
1 - How is the circuit paying out at the end? Top 5 in the points standings? Top 3?
2 - Is the championship event an invitation only event or will it be open to everyone? Basically I'm asking if it's the same as MLG Dallas was.
3 - Am I getting annoying with all these questions yet? I'm sure I'll think of more

The final event will have 2 brackets. Pro bracket(top 8 players with the highest points) and an amateur bracket for everybody else. Points are more or less for seeding and pro bracket stuff. These points also carry over to next season.
As for payouts, we can do multiple things. Each event will have a circuit fee of 3$. Multiply that by the number of entrants at all the events and its a HUGE chunk of change(Easily over $500 extra cash). We can extend payouts in the final event with this money or we can dish it out according to the top 5 highest point players. Ideas are everywhere and since the finals are WAAAAY away, we have time to figure out a scheme.
The final event(back in austin) will be OPEN to all. But as i said, there will be a pro bracket(for the 8 highest players in points) and an amateur bracket for the rest.

So the points from this are going to effectively be a new power rankings system and won't directly determine any type of prize support other than the 8 man pro bracket?

No no. This point system for the circuit will have no dealings with our TX PR. We will treat it like a normal event and send in the tio file like normal.
Here is what the tx circuit point system will do:
1. Give you seeding/better seeding at circuit events AND give you an auto advantage for next season(SOME points carry over)
2. Allow you to be in the pro bracket at the final event(assuming you have enough to be deemed "top 8" in points)
3. Getting enough points will also grant you extra cash at the final event. EXAMPLE: after all events are done/all points are dished out....infinity is 5th in the top 5 highest point players. He will then collect an extra 50$(for example) for being in the top 5. Doesnt matter where you place you WILL get that extra cash bonus because of your hard work through out the season.
Does this help?
@Xyro, he meant a "new pr system" that's only used for determining the the top 8 bracket. It obviously would have no relation to the actual PR system.
Which is an interesting, create a new pr system (again, it won't replace the old) just to handle the circuit placings and determine the top 8/16 or w/e.

**** is about to get real
And why I asked the question about how points were determined. How did you guys figure out an equal balance that ensures fairness?

i picked random numbers that looked cool when i typed them out.

And just to be clear, not trying to take over or anything lol. Just throwing out my 2 cents.
I'm really glad you guys were able to organized something like this. Can't wait to see turn outs. I like the idea that no other tournaments should be held on those selected dates too.

Side tournaments, if there's time, are determined by the main TO of that city. Singles and doubles get priority as usual.How will side events be determined?
Btw this is amazing Dojo.
It's hard to tell if something simple "looks wrong" without doing any calculations on the final result.
Have you guys tested different combinations of results to ensure equal/fair chance of making it into the top 8? Have you done research on other circuits to see what system they use for determining the top players fairly? Or are you just hoping these numbers will work out for you.

I think you should have the Zac/Billy team look over your calculations, just to be sure. I wouldn't want any mishaps down the line when it's too late to correct issues that could be resolved now.
Oh boy, I simply can't Wait.
I'll try to enter three, maybe Four at the most.

is this some kinda new tourney thing... like whobo?
Why are the points so much higher at 50+ players. It seems like an awfully large jump (about double for affected placements), but also why at 50? Shouldn't it be at whatever the cuttoff is for the bracket actually being bigger? Like you win more rounds to get to that placement thus your placement is worth more points?
What I'm asking is if you win 4 rounds in a 49 person tournament, wouldn't you get the same placement as winning 4 rounds in a 51 or 60 person tournament? Why is it worth more if you didn't have to win more rounds to get it?

i did and didn't know what i was reading.... lol i hope to make all these thingies... but like my question is like... so it's just a string of tournies with a title then?

It's a tournament where your performance overall will be calculated like a Grand Prix in Mario Kart.

Wait .. shouldnt you give points by bracket size? Like say.. 64 below you give first 45 and 65+ you award more points.
Or you could just away points for how many games they win, 2 points for a win in winners bracket, 1 point for a win in losers bracket. Oddly enough, it works out the same
