The New Super Awesome Oregon Home Thread!!! :D

Just going to post this here.

If anyone wants to play in the sketchy-canker laden-socially withdrawn-inspiration draining city of klamath falls at a sketchy messy house where I "swear to god it was clean yesterday" please feel free to hit me up.

So, it is more than a full week after the tournament in Corvallis, and I only just recently managed to put up some videos. Sorry for the huge delay, I ended up getting caught up with other things. Please take note that some people were drinking (I wasn't, I'm just bad), and don't hold results against them too much.

The bracket is available at:

http://challonge.com/Corvallis

The videos are available at:

http://www.youtube.com/user/CorvallisMelee

Please tell someone in Corvallis if you have a problem with a tag, want a video removed, etc.

Also, I heard discussions of a new PR are going on, so I'll share my thoughts if anyone is interested. I think it should go something like:

1 Eggz
2 Foos
3 Fat Goku
4 Bird
5 Bart
6 Adam
7 J!zzard
8 KeithReptar
9 Joseideon
10 Nikabod

Hard to say for sure since tournaments are so rare (and often don't represent the bottom half of the PR due to seeding), who doesn't have results due to low sample size, and who doesn't have results because they aren't beating enough people. I just went with my perception of skill on the areas that I was unsure about.

This list is also assuming Brick and No U are considered inactive. Omitted self.

Edit: after I had time to think about my list, I tweaked 9/10. Maybe I'm biased though.

 

[AlienAllen]

Doesn't Jarod have better results than Nikabod?

Edit: Slurpletuce do you know how to post the tournament results so that each player can link their smashboards account to the result?

 

[Purpletuce]

I'm not really sure on results either way. I heard Jarod did really well at the Eugene tournament, and I know Jarod did better at the tournament I held recently.

That is where me just going with my gut comes in I guess. Jarod would definitely be a strong addition to the PR.

The bracket has been uploaded to smashboards.

I doubt anyone is against me uploading it, because nobody really cares that much about smashboards rankings, so I did it.

 

[Tryst]

Bleh. I wish things weren't so dead down here in southern Oregon...

 

[Purpletuce]

So with a PR discussion coming up soon/in progress, I wanted to address an issue I've seen in Oregon. People keep bringing up tournament placement to compare skill. I think this comes from a general misunderstanding of what a tournament represents. Brackets will only accurately represent skill across a large sample size. They are not a good way to evaluate skill when we have 5-10 a year...

I made a 'dummy bracket' to demonstrate the inaccuracy of bracket placements. This bracket assumes no upsets will happen, and that top 4 are seeded accurately. Lower numbers always win.

http://challonge.com/Demo_top4_seeded

As you can see, the closer the results are to the seeded players, the more accurate they are. Players just outside the seeded area can get dead last, and players can get really high in the non-seeded area by an easier bracket. Although the more extreme results (7th best player getting dead last as shown in the example), are more rare.

 

[AlienAllen]

In summary:
Seeding is very important for accurate tournament results.
People should pay more attention to who played who rather than placement numbers.

EDIT: The PR on the first page still has Kazuki. That guy is a legend.

What tournaments are going on in portland these days? Haven't been here in forever.

I'll be running a tournament on October 18th, 2014. The tournament will be at the McNary Dining Hall at Oregon State University. The venue is being rented out by the Oregon State Gaming Club, and they have a ton of seats allocated for console gaming. The tournament will start and have registration at 6 at Salvadoc's place, and then when the venue opens at 8 we will move there. The tournament will likely run pretty late. My apologies to anybody who I told it would be on Saturday. I was told the venue would be reserved for Friday and Saturday, but the venue closes 8:00 a.m. on Saturday, so it must be run on Friday night.

The address is:
1300 SW Jefferson Ave
Corvallis, OR 97330

Schedule:
Registration - 6:00 p.m.
Melee Doubles - 8:00 p.m.
Melee Singles - 9:00 p.m.

You register at the door, but you can also pay venue online if you would like:
http://www.lanreg.org/osugaming/ml9

The tournament will be run using the standard ruleset used in Oregon (GG ruleset, thanks to Ryan Jacobson):
Bracket: Double Elimination
Games: Best of 3
Upper\Lower Finals & Grand Finals: Best of 5
SSBM Rules
4 Stock
8 Min time limit

Are there any brawl or smash 4 tourneys in corvallis? I'm not 18 but would love to enter into the competitive scene

 

[AlienAllen]

Most of Corvallis plays Melee, but you could ask around at the Facebook group.

I'm considering moving to Oregon, but I mostly play PM, so how often do Oregon events have PM?

 

[Shadic]

I'm going to go ahead and lock this thread since the other Oregon thread seems to be more recently active, the OP is actually updated, and has technically been around longer.

If anybody has issues with it (or if I'm misunderstanding the situation,) please shoot me a message.
