Fifth Non-Prolific FAQers Tournament - Round 1, Division 1

Meowthnum1 | Posted 5/15/2008 4:59:54 AM | message detail
Welcome to round one of the the fifth tournament! I apologize because despite Yami's persistent reminding over the past few days, I have been incredibly busy and haven't had a chance to finish the bracket off just yet (it's almost done; it took longer than I thought because I had to adapt to a 64 person bracket from my 32 person bracket). I'm very, very sorry, but the rules for the tournament may be found at the site of last year's bracket: http://www.freewebs.com/tjackson3/2007npbracket.html. Please re-read those rules for your own enjoyment of the tournament. Anyway, as said, please excuse my sloppiness with the lack of a bracket. It will be done by tomorrow's round, if it isn't done before I go to sleep this evening. So without further technical ado, here's today's matchups:

Division 1, Round 1:

1 - Coffee (http://www.gamefaqs.com/features/recognition/2295.html)
64 - ffmasterjose (http://www.gamefaqs.com/features/recognition/59914.html)

9 - Xiamut (http://www.gamefaqs.com/features/recognition/47351.html)
56 - Mogg 13-42 (http://www.gamefaqs.com/features/recognition/20144.html)

17 - ElectroSpecter (http://www.gamefaqs.com/features/recognition/25324.html)
48 - Arthellinus (http://www.gamefaqs.com/features/recognition/62545.html)

25 - Adrenaline SL (http://www.gamefaqs.com/features/recognition/8212.html)
40 - vhayste (http://www.gamefaqs.com/features/recognition/71019.html)

Good luck to our participants!!! Please remember to check the CRPs provided and to copy and to post the number and name of the author for whom you are voting.

For a 64 bracket wouldn't you just double it and add an extra on the end for the winner? o.o

(Note: did not test this to see if it works),
Space Medafighter X | Posted 5/15/2008 5:51:48 AM | message detail
Not really because even though all first round divisions still have seed sums being 65, you have to do a lot of reorganizing (ie. 32 is now at the end of the bracket as opposed to at the beginning) and it never occurred to Trace apparently that he still has the bracket from 2006 on his site (just change the 2007 in the link to 2006 Trace!)

It feels odd now that I'm not eligible for this contest anymore.

It was fun getting to the finals last year.

I hope sophialeigh can make a deep run. I think she's one of the best up and coming writers on the site.

Oh well, in that case change my first vote from myself to the dude who is obliterating me.

Like it really matters in this case >_>

Well the higher seeded people are generally the better supported ones.
IceQueenZer0 | Posted 5/16/2008 1:36:18 AM | message detail
oh ok. This is different from the prolific tournament? There was an GFAQs archive-like site I went to and let's just say that AIex (1st seed at the time out of 64) lost in the first round.

It doesn't look like I'll have the same luck as whichever 64 seed upset A I e x ;)

If my memory serves me right, I think Karpah was the one to topple A I e x.

Sarcastic answer: Simple. Karpah got more votes.

Real Answer: Have you actually looked at side-by-side comparisons?

KB and amount of work done isn't always everything.

No, I'm just saying in general the higher seeded person has an advantage. This isn't true for every single thing, but saying that there's nothing given to a higher seeded person is a bit off.
