Sandbagging is deliberately getting worse scores than you are capable of to get placed in a lower division, then playing to your full ability and winning said division. And will get you booted out of the tournament if you do it.

What if I can't actually get the AAA equivs to reach d7 on the leaderboards and everyone knows I actually have the speed skill of a d7 player? It's a bit weird in my case, seeing as I essentially started playing FFR today. (Still trying to get used to different setup/offsets)

**RenegadeLucien** · 06-7-2016, 07:36 PM

You'll most likely get put into D7 if the staff knows you have the skill to be in D7.

I'm gonna sandbag so hard that I don't even join

You're crazy!! That'll never happen because it's really grape soda!

Honestly, an overwhelming majority of situations would be resolved if people just paid attention to the fact that nothing is finalized, and that it usually isn't finalized until things get closer and closer to tournament start.

It's been said in both threads that people simply need to wait until things are at least remotely close to finalized - sign-ups have been open for a whole two days and people are already bringing up the most irrelevant of nuances; more importantly, the people who are bringing it up are people who have been in these tournaments over and over again, and for the most part, are capable of reading through the tournament OP to realize that not much has changed in the format (and therefore, not much in the structure - either).

Everyone needs to just sit back, wait until the tournament gets nearer to the start time, and stop bringing things up that simply don't have a purpose to be brought up yet, because it does nothing more than cause confusion, aggravation, and problems later down the line. Talking about sand-bagging is already going down the wrong road, but an explanation of it potentially throws around the idea that this is a legitimate strategy to take in the tournament, and it's an incredible hassle for the staff of the tournament to have to contend with.

Discrepancies are handled on a case-by-case basis, and you guys really should just rest assured that they will be taken care of. This is hardly the first rodeo for a huge majority of people in the thread, and most of you guys should know better. For those of you guys that are newer, read the tournament OP and it should hopefully answer most questions. If it can't be resolved by the contents of the first post, do exactly as it says in the first post of the thread and send a private message to psychoangel691 or message her on Skype.

It's really not that hard, guys.

however, he cheeses too hard and scores an own goal against red blaster, giving him the title

Funnily enough I'm actually fairly skilled at rocket league.
I'm actually surprised to see so many people picking me for D3, I'll try not to make you all look like fools.

Res blaster to skillboost before tourney and win d4

**MarcusHawkins** · 06-8-2016, 12:59 AM

Alright, now can we please talk about what this thread is designed for in the first place?
To predict who will place 1/3/5/8/16 in any division?
That would put us back on the right track, thank you all!

I have a realistic goal to reach top 16, but I son't think I will get ranked high in D5 this time around (not top 8) but we'll see how that plays out!

then you'd be placed accordingly in D7 (case in point, I have 5 AAAs)
