Parfait Tourney - First Round

kingedward123 · 07-03-2008, 09:17 PM

Basic Principles and Rules:

Teams will be of 3 players with standard tag-team rules applying. (First two play off, then the winner plays the 2nd player from the losing team with units they won with, etc.)
You are only allowed 2 of each unit per team.
There are 19 unique units, each with their own attributes. i.e. 38 units for 30 slots.
If you are lucky enough to have two frosts, two brs, etc. you can use them. However, that would be the only game in which you could use that unit.
If a third unit is used, your opponent has every right to claim an automatic victory, if they so desire.

Team 3 vs. Team 2

Old & Sour vs. WE'LL DO IT LIVE!

Who Cares? vs. Grumpy Old Gits

Team 4 vs. All Around Players Team

Winners in green, losers in red.

Get your games in by next Sunday. Double d/q's are going to be the norm for this type of tourney unless it is blatantly obvious one person deserves it.

Team 7 name should be: All Around Players Team

Team 1 vs Team 6 seems to be a final... let's see how all those games will end

Good luck to all the teams

Umm... is there any point asking why you decided to put the two top-seeded teams together in round one?

Come to think of it, did you do any seedings at all?

In case you didn't, and in case you want to (highly recommended for all LTR tournaments), I added some seedings to your signup thread for you in the second post.

It's random... it happens... look the group C of the European: Italy, Holland and France in the same group

When it's random everything is possible... so just let's play in that randolmy way

Because France were outisde the top 8 teams when the two hosts and previous winners were included; a system I think everyone can agree was outright stupid as 3 of the 4 "Pot A" teams were elminated in the group stage.

As you say, the first round match is effectively the expected final, which is really rather foolish.

Bottle, but if the tournament sign-ups had to do with Seedings, the teams should have been fairly made with those seedings. The point of the LTR isn't to keep the top seeds at the top, it's to see who's the best player and who's done the best in the tournaments overall. When it's teams, planting the top seeds against the worse seeded teams means that nobody can ever really change where they stand in the LTR, because it's most likely that there won't be 3 high quality lower seeded players on the same team.

I agree with Flash Demon, expecially on this point:

Looking that in your team and in stiv's team there are the best players around (that had to be fairly in 6 different teams as captains...) only the randomly matchups can help the lower teams to have a chance in the tourny

*ignores controversy*

Team 5's name will be Old & Sour. I don't know what our order is just yet.

~SUPERNATURAL~ · 07-04-2008, 12:39 AM

I'll be filling in for Xia while she is away.

vintage · 07-04-2008, 01:21 AM

As stated above, Xiah had to peace out for a little while so ~super~ is gonna fill in for round 1.
Our order is going to be: vintage first, Xiah/~super~ second, and lemon third.
