pools: you just separate everyone into X groups (probably 4 for a ~20 person event, 8 if it's significantly higher; i don't know what you expect the turnout to be). Within each pool it's a round robin, after which the people are ranked within their own pool based on the standings. These become seeds into a bracket, possibly trimming off the lesser finishers in pools form entering the bracket altogether

overall it guarantees more matches, it generally produces a fairer bracket, but it also takes more time
This idea is fine IF the pools are seperated by crew the tunes don't wanna come to play each other.. until the finals. xD j/k.

Screw pools. Do swiss seeding, imo. Much better.
.


This sounds great too as long as it takes into account crew mates not being in the same pool.


Oh yah, i'm nearly certain all 6 of the tunes will be there again, unless Jay can't come the other 5 are confirmed tho. :)

Swiss doesn't use pools. This gives the general idea of how it works: http://myweb.cableone.net/somerent/boisemagic/swiss.htm

3 rounds should be fine and give accurate seedings.

I remember working on some formula that built onto and improved upon the already superior swiss format for seeding but I don't think I finished it.

each round, people are paired up with someone with the same number of wins

for example; assuming no prior seeding, the first round is completely random pairings

in the second round, the people who won play each other (assuming no prior seeding, within everyone with 1 win, the pairings are random), the people who lost play each other

in the third round, the people with 2 wins total play each other, the people with 1 win total (likely a larger group at this point) play each other, etc.

4th round if you want, etc.

when there's an odd number in a group, you play someone from one group over (a 2-win player will NOT play a 0-win player)

basically, everyone plays X sets (where X is some decided number of rounds) and then are seeded based on how many of those sets they won; i wouldn't worry too much about how to make pairings, there are plenty of programs that do it for you

edit: and if you're only doing swiss/pools for seeding and not knocking anyone out, playing your own crew isn't such a big deal -_-

Yeah as long as no one gets knocked out I guess, however its still not fun playing the people you always play, but whatever. xD

swiss produces a better result but is high maintenance

pools are low-maintenance but there is still a lot of inaccuracy (unless you spend a ton of time seeding the pool)

I think there is a train station in freehold which shouldn't be too far from the venue. I might be able to pick you up and might be able to do houseing. normally ends around 8ish might go later.

I'm probably not going to make it cuz of work again. I'm workin a lot more hours this summer, and Saturdays are big money nights. I'll make it to the next one hopefully.

Edit: Bi-weeklies sound great, just try to avoid clashing with Smashacre.

Whoever voted I don't care is a loser.

Edit : I forgot you could check who did voted for it, Sensei/Triad you guys are losers. :) more events = NJ gets better as a whole pft. I could see non NJ voting that pft.

Its all good tho its probably cause you guys didn't go to one yet they are very well run and a fun atmosphere with friendly tv's

i don't think it has any point as a poll though

who would vote no? if they can't make it every other week, they would just not show up on the weeks they can't make it -_-

trevor u also lost me my new controller so you owe me one. i dont know how much integrity you have and how much i can trust you with things right now, but as of late, you have been okay (besides the controller thing). just get me one (so easily as you said from your brother) or something and it will be cool.
