lol SC, just ignore purple mantis, i really don't know what he's doing here since the only brawl player you guys have is ESAM.
what was the results for the clemson tournament?
It was nice hosting this tournament, but very unprepared, bwahahaha. I wish I had a better system for tracking points and rankings, but I did them by hand and it wasn't bad, I just couldn't join in the friendlies and warm ups as I wanted to. I ended up getting knocked out quickly, but that won't happen again. The attendance was good, we ended up with 20 players. The day before we figured it would just end up being our tight knit group we had before, so we ended up staying up all night playing till 5 AM. Then people started knocking on our doors the next morning, not expecting much people to show up, forcing all of us to wake up, haha.
Blackout ended up stopping the tournament at winner's finals. So I paid them out accordingly to the last three that were left. Daniel (niceness) and Butch stuck around till the power came back on and decided to re-do the match, with Daniel taking it home.
We definitely need to do a better system for preliminary match ups. I ended up doing it random, by pulling numbers. Butch ended up making it to finals without playing a ranked player (not saying he's not good, but he didn't play anyone ranked to give him a challenge). It's not perfect, but I'll find a better system for sure. Even though Butch placed 2nd in the tournament, he's only ranked at 14th. Because of the people he played and losing to Daniel, his wins weighed out to nothing. (Chris, I've been told NC does a system with 'pools'? I might have it where first match ups will be unranked players against ranked players.)
Here's an update on power rankings and everyone's standing with points.
Daniel (niceness) #1– 52 points
Luu # 2– 47 points
Spencer (nuts) #3 – 40 points
Franklin # 4 – 32 points
Brandon (bran) #5 – 22 points
Sean (smff) #6 – 16 points
Jr (docj) # 7– 15 points
Alfie (crax) # 8 – 13 points
Alex #9 – 11 points
Sai #9 – 11 points
Stewart #11 – 10 points
Rafael #12 – 8 points
Caston #13 – 7 points
Butch #14 – 6 points
#15 place remained a free spot because 5 people were eligible for the spot and didn't get the chance to see who deserves the spot, so it'll remain blank till the next SC tournament.
I can see where this point system is flawed, I'll keep working on it and I might have their points reset every tournament to avoid some players from having too much points. It'll be near impossible for a lower ranked player to gain enough points to beat the higher ranked folks without fixing it.
