does by mean bypass? wouldnt smooth and tabuu have to duel first instead of them both bypassing :P


if he did it that way then either davmang and grams, or tonice and g_suck's duel would take place in round 2, which would mean they each had a first round bye, it's simple math this is a 16 man bracket. single elimination.

smh

guy gives himself a bye


ikr? lmao, you'd think the 2 best in this tourney would get the 1st round byes, which would be ff13 and matty. he must think highly of himself or something when he can't hold a candle to matt or nemo. :rofl:

still think both of the bye's should atleast start in the same bracket. so that the bye's have to face eachother rather then both of them having to duel 1 less time and getting a free scoot up and making 2 opponents have to face an extra player that didnt have to duel the first round go rather then just 1


if you get a bye you should simply have to duel the other guy that got a free bye too.


iv talked with many on this tourney and they agree

no matter how you set up a 16 man bracket with 14 people, 2 ppl will still be dueling 1 less time than everyone else whether they are in the same bracket or not, its math shawn. lmao.

if they did it that way for example, then matty and roys duel would be in what is considered as round 2, they'd still be dueling less than the other 12 ppl, and you can't do a 14 man bracket because half of 14 is 7 and then there'd be a 2nd round bye.

the only thing about it i find ridiculous is the 2 ppl who got the byes, matty is the best and roy is like 4th or 5th best (maybe 3rd on his best day) if he was giving the byes based on the proof the ladder has shown these past months/year, then ff13 and matty should have got the byes. but i guess when you run the tourney it can work in your favor lmao

if they both start in the same bracket yes they both still get a bye but ultimately after that only 1 person that has had to work there way all the way up the ladder would have to duel someone that got a free bye appose to 2 people getting a free bye and making 2 people that have already won one face someone with a free bye

generally speaking byes are given to those who deserve it, aka the 2 best ppl from the vtpk ladder or the 2 best vts in the tourney (thats not exactly the case here) but in general why would you force the 2 best people to face eachother in the 2nd round, in football for example the best team in the nfc and afc get the 1st round byes, to give the teams who earned those byes 1 extra weeks rest, and the 2 teams who earned the first round byes are most certainly not forced to face eachother in the 2nd round because its set up to be expecting both teams who got the byes to play eachother in the superbowl.

idk if you watch football but this was the best analogy i could give.

or because its setup so that he can get 2nd or 3rd place without getting first round ko'd by smooth > and if its like you said its not the 2 best people so that analogy does not fit the situation



and on that note, why wasnt this randomly generated . honestly :P

the man clearly put some individuals he thought were very good in the top side bracket and threw him and smooth in the bot side farthest away with bye's to get the easiest 3rd place possible but what do i know

yeah thats why vert and i laughed, also the two byes should be on completely opposite sides of the brackets, to set it up for them to possibly face eachother in the finals, this is setup to where the 2 ppl who got the 1st round byes face eachother in the semi finals which makes no sense, and the 2 best people are not the 2 byes, which also makes no sense.


i agree obviously 100%, it should have been randomly generated unless they were giving the 2 byes to the 2 best vts on opposite ends of the 1st rounds which would be ff13 and matty1.


i was just explaining why there r 2 byes in a 16 man bracket for the most part instead of 1, this tourney is fucked because of where the byes are located and who got them, but the setup of the tourney does make sense, 14 ppl in a 16 man bracket = 2 rd 1 byes not 1 rd 2 bye in general.
