DP gained/played enough points/games to be on the PR.
Wenbo gained enough points to be on the PR.

so i took a set from Jman last week does that buff me up?

It will strike fear into the hearts of all tournament Foxes, but unforunately I'm only counting in-region games.

You know that, like, makes it harder to stay good at something, right?

To be fair, I don't think staying good was his problem.

 

[BigWenz]

uhh max almost everyone from that the most recent shell shocked that you dont have info on, are all College park players that dont really travel much or enter anything not at college park.

 

[CTL17]

More player info. @tdude51, you or Koji should take over as the CP identifiers, since I only know like 3 of them.

Thanks for Playing 5:
Lock : Samus player from CT who moved here. MoCo trainer.
KVN: CP player


I thought you have information on Marth Dixon/Marth Dodge now. They entered some other tournament recently as Marth (something else) and Marth (also something else) I think.

Squabbles Smash 3:
Archangel : From Delaware. Formerly Spam_Arrows.

I think there were two "Marth ____"s at that huge Thanks For Playing. I remember seeing "Marth Twain" on the bracket and laughing way harder than I should have.

[Nintendude]

I'm curious how many points Wenz gained after beating Chillin.
Oh and btw is there a particular reason that Clarendon events aren't being included in your PR?

You can't be serious... People were outright throwing matches at the first one. lol

 

[Nintendude]

People throw matches at some of our bigger tournaments too.

 

[SypherPhoenix]

It's not included for the same reason Xanadu weeklies aren't included.

 

[Redd]

@ SypherPhoenix , why u no title month change.

 

[Bones0]

@ SypherPhoenix , why u no title month change.

Idk if other PRs have the same standard, but technically those rankings are based off of the month of April, not May.

 

[Redd]

Oh, I thought it said April for the last one too. Maybe I'm just out of it.

 

[SypherPhoenix]

The rankings are based off April results, but I've started titling the topic based on the month the rankings are "for" to avoid people thinking it's somehow out of date. I just forgot to change it this time, smashboards sucks and doesn't have title controls when editing the OP anymore.

 

[DoH]

It's not included for the same reason Xanadu weeklies aren't included.

Wait what the ****? I can understand why Xanadu isn't since it's like...on a Tuesday with usually no entrance fee, but why not the Clarendon ones? Because it's at a bar? If so then disregard all of like chillin and cyrain's results lol

Xanadu always has $5 entry...

Tournaments held during weekdays are excluded because good players that can consistently attend them will inflate their rating. They are basically doubling their tournaments per week, and the competition is usually less stiff so players like DP who have won a ton of weeklies would be overrated. I'm sure there'd be a similar inflation for whoever tends to win College Park's Friday tourneys.

I'm pretty sure one of the Xanadus I went to had like a $1 entry.

I think there is a big difference between tournaments held on a Tuesday (in Baltimore, that run until past midnight) vs tournaments that are run on a Friday night that are metro accessible. Also Xanadu is every week, while Clarendon so far has been once a month, which may be elevated to twice a month, so I don't think it would affect the rankings all that much if they were included.
