Super Smash Bros. 3DS Tournament!

[Alastair Snowpaw]

Well, I'll try to minimize the impact of an uneven number. It might be unfair, but I think it's even less fair to exclude players, or to lump players into a three player match, which is an entirely different beast from one on one matches.

just putting byes in the braket is much more fair than doing a 3 for all to deciede who advances. all it really does is make someone from getting 12th to get 16th which really isn't nearly that much of a difference. also it's much easier to just keep the 1v1 thing for the whole tourney.

 

[SirRob]

Well, I was just sticking with what worked in the Pokemon tournament.
Maybe I'm not thinking things the right way-- I'm dumb and had to draw myself a diagram-- can't a round robin create a situation where each of the players win one and lose one, and then they have to go again? And then maybe even again after that? There could potentially be a lot of matches there, which would could take up a lot of time. You also have to consider that the three players would have to be available at the same time, which, judging from past tournaments here, could take days.

I can't give performance based byes because I'm not watching everyone play in the tournament, and I can't do seeding because I don't really know everyone's skill levels in relation to each other. It also really wouldn't be fair for me to decide any of those. I'm gonna use a random number generator to create the bracket.

Also, thanks for joining up BRN. [noparse][/noparse]

I'd prefer to make the bracket on my own, I like making things. [noparse][/noparse]

well I just made one example,which can easily be adjusted when more poeple wanna join. also the seeds where randomized.

could we use it? a spent a whole 5 precious minutes making it ;-;

 

[Eggdodger]

Aww, my first match is against someone I don't know. No heart-wrenching moments filled with choices of grey morality! I don't have to choose between winning and friendship! Hopefully that situation would improve as this (prospective) bracket advanced.

well the braket is just an example and will change if anyone joins. also i can just randomize the seeds again to change up the bracket again.

I appreciate that! [noparse][/noparse] I think the way that the site places a few players in a sort of preliminary area is troublesome though, because I want the start of the tournament to be a big deal, not something that only a couple of people are participating in; if this was a professional, serious tournament that everyone is invested in, I could see that working out. The way I want to set it up, is that at most there will be one bye in the first round, and later in the tournament there may be more byes. We also don't know the final number of players, so it will be impossible to make a proper bracket until I close off registration.
I plan to make the bracket using people's avatars, and making everything spaced out so that it'll be super clear and easy to follow. The bracket will be an image so that people don't have to click an extra link.

well the first matches could be called for everyone except the two that have to wait. and something funky like that will have to happen cause of the number of poeple in the tourney. but that image is a good idea, just one that will take time and i'm not sure how quickly you could adjust it when poepl report their wins.

 

[BRN]

Honestly, I think discussion of the bracket's form should wait until registration's closed, though I'd personally prefer 'byes' to any multiple-match situations.

It's just, you can't know what's going on until you can count final figures.

I will send you my personal "avatar" to "use" if I get the first bye ;3

Well, no, I'd like to have registration open as long as possible-- like an hour or two before the tournament. So discussing it now is fine, unless we're talking about where individual players will be placed.

I would update the image per round, not per win.

i'm just wondering how long that would take to update.

Minutes

okays that's reasonable since i thought you would have to make a new image or something.

 

[Croconaw]

Wow Rob. Wow. No wonder.

Oh, now you're hitting on me, too?

I'm flattered, but my culture dictates that I can't be courted by you until you best me in the field of battle.
