I considered both types of tournament styles but decided to stick with the swiss style instead.

Reasons being that:
The elimination matchup style with group qualifiers would take more rounds (about 31 as apposed to 24)
The swiss style matchup provides ranking for all members of the competition
The results obtained from the matchup will be used in subsequent tournaments for better matchup pairings.
Finally, everyone will be able to participate without getting kicked lol.


For the Swiss style matchups, this is how it's going to work:
First as we don't have previous matchup data to work with, initial positions are randomized then vsed in positions of no.1 vs no.6, no.2 vs no.7, no.3 vs no.8...

Next, going by the results of the initial "warm up" round, we will take those with wins to randomly vs those with wins and those with no wins to vs those with no wins. This is repeated every single round (most no. of wins vs each other) with the rule that no 2 people shall see each other more than once throughout the tournament.

This is to ensure that the competition will be quite stiff throughout and you won't be fighting against people who would be considered imbalanced. (Except possibly the initial round in which actually helps since you will have a low chance of running into someone you don't want to later on)

SO DO NOT WORRY IF YOUR INITIAL MATCHUP LOOKS REALLY BAD BECAUSE IT WILL SORT ITSELF OUT LATER ON.

Rankings will be decided by the number of wins so everyone has a chance to win throughout .

In the case of ties, we will break them based on total amount of opponent wins (this is assumed to calculate the toughness of opponents faced)


Here's the 2 matchup lists....(one with reis and Quaz & one without)

Hmm seeing that i can't find confirmation on reis and quaz...Sora could you put the first pic up on the front page?

Also...I propose that the tourney be held in the morning at about..8am-10am on one of the weekends so that there will be *hopefully* less lag and less chance of people having plans at the assigned time. Any thoughts on this?

Eh you going to contact reis ah? Then sure do that first and get reply please @_@

All right from asking about a bit yesterday...does anybody have a problem with 8-10am nxt sunday? Kaj_ didn't reply to the msgs though....@_@

Sorry got a bit too excited there @_@. I'll just wait and see when everyone's free xD

I'd imagine this forum won't have too much BB players till CS releases so it would be hard to hold a free join competition with money ;o.

On a side note: wooooo i appear to use random chars from the front page
Another side note: My PS3 has a YLOD and i won't be able to appear online till i reflow it @_@.

I've already played arcade CS though not extensively as i don't regularly go to the arcades. Lots of SG ppl have transferred over though as its been out in Singapore for a loongggg time.

Reis is in at last! Now we'll have to swap the pic on the front page with pic no.2

Hmm the link is

Don't worry the tournament is held in swiss-style (sorta like a winners vs winners losers vs losers style) so aside from the first round the difference in skill levels shouldn't be too big.

No, there will be no eliminations hence no losers bracket this time round, i typed out the format on page 46 if you're interested in reading it

Hmmm back up with a PS3 at last! Unfortunately my account password forgotten already and unable to reset due to entering random details previously xD. Gonna try to recover it....till then i'm going to use the PSN onlookerx.

Apparently my PS3 didn't overheat...the power supply self destructed lol. Cost me $500 for PS3 slim >_>...got tekken 6 with it.

That and have to add costs from PSN ordered games cause no account anymore @_@. Sent e-mail to customer service and waiting for reply now.

Then what's going to happen to carl o_O? Demoted to sub?

Well at least in CS haku users get a mass upgrade along with the rest of the bottom tier

I'd like noon too but there will definitely be some issues with lag in the afternoon @_@. So lets try to keep it in the morning D:

CS isn't imbalanced....when you're using the top half of the tier list

Though the bottom vs top isn't that bad as well....(unless you're using rachel ~_~)
