For the record, I have 4 stocked all but a handful of the active players in NC within the last 6 months to year, so take your pick. 4 stocks happen and I'm not trying embarrass or start stuff with anyone; a few people have randomly 4 stocked me

yeah twitch, we played at the hickory tournament. it happened so fast, i'm not surprised you don't remember.

my chances to get pr'd were limited to playing DJ's sheik every tournament back when he was around. And i think i lost to yay a lot too.

you might not think i get the lowest seed, but usually, if smith isn't around, i get pretty close to the lowest seed. like that 8 man bracket hickory tournament, i'm pretty sure me and smith were the lowest seeds lol. most people who would be seeded lower than me either don't make it to the tourneys i end up at or just don't enter *shrug*

hell, even at G6, i barely squeaked through JMH first round LOL. it coulda been him in that 7 spot and me in that 33 just as easily lol.

my chances do come and go though. i guess i'll just keep choking 2-1 vs josh and beating people who beat pr'd players.

Well I'm typically the main person who seeds tournament in NC, along with PP, and I can guarantee you you are not at the bottom. I mean, maybe at Hickory you were, I wasn't there, but at the G6s you've generally had a seed of around 4 or 5 or something like that. There were handfuls of players with lower seeds.

It sounds to me like you've had plenty of opportunities to beat good players, and that my earlier assessment still stands. Our scene is getting way better and it seems to most people like they were seeded badly. You probably have to play someone really good 1st or second round at most tournaments. Think about the amount of 'top' players there are. PP, Twitch, lozr, dop, yay and a handful of out of state players that come. You might have to play them pretty early, but someone with a seed like I get will just have to play them one round later, which isn't that big of a deal. And then you get at least one more chance to beat someone good in losers.

And yeah, pools help a ton. You still have to seed the pools, though.

You would have to seed the pools yes, but that would be muuuuuuuch easier than a seeding a bracket, not to mention the fact that (everyone knows this I know not a revelation here) seeding the bracket with pools results is fairly simple. Maybe a couple of "regional" issues but that's going to happen no matter what.

Once again I know pools can be difficult, especially with the size of venues, amount of entrants/set-ups, can be lackluster. I do, however firmly believe that trying to make pools an NC tourney standard will help with any model y'all choose to rank and such. More data can never hurt, and more possibilities for more people to play different people is something that we reeeeeeally need from what I keep reading.

idk if this will make anyone feel better/worse/nothing idrc, but

considering that i was pr'ed shortly after my arrival in nc, i still got matched with pp and/or lozr pretty much every tournament that i went to and felt like i would have gone further in the bracket if that werent the case

to ppl complaining about that cycle, i say: Sucks to your Q.Q

sounds good, but they really don't have the space to hold us.

it'd be like trying to host in a gamestop.

where there aren't pinball machines, there are racks of games. where there aren't racks of games, there's more fighting games, shmups, or something else. they don't really have pure space for 15-20 people to sit down and bring TV's and run a tournament.

Nah the guy I talked to this weekend said they would be willing to let someone from the community do all the bracketing and rule sets as long as they got the door fee.
