my worst nightmares involve my gut being sliced open with a sickle and me trying to stuff my innards back into my body and squeeze flaps of skin together while i slowly lose consciousness in my dreamstate

actually nevermind those are pretty run of the mill

There! Now we have less divisions and people can still move up in ranks. It also supports the idea that moving up divisions gets exponentially harder.

Legitimately reasonable idea right here ^^

Only change I would make is make it D1-3, D4-6 and the 7. The gap between 3 and 4 is usually a good benchmark if you ask me. Also it's more even distribution that way :^)

I mean certainly not for this tournament, seeing how much effort we pushed for getting all the files necessary and all that, but maybe something to think about for next time ;)

New idea for the 12th official tournament: NO eliminations. Then people won't bitch and moan because they suck at the round 1 file...there's time to catch up and get a file you're better at.

And maybe use victory points (scoring based on how many people whose scores you beat in a round) instead of cumulative raw score, a la Dossar's Brutality tournaments.

Or swiss rounds with actual direct player pairings?

That would involve individual seeding, and not only would that take an exceedingly longer amount of time, the tournament would then likely take much longer needing to go through individual bracket rounds like that.

And knowing that FFR certainly can always use a boost to participation, they'd likely make it double elimination so that you'll have at least 1 more opportunity to play again. (Therefore again making the tournament longer, + grand finals bracket resets???)

Swiss doesn't have eliminations, that's the point of swiss.

In fact, with the numbers for this official tournament, running it as Swiss would only be 6 rounds instead of 8, and nobody would be eliminated for the whole 6 rounds.

Just want to make a note that inDheart has moved up to D3. I reached out and gave the option of the bump after seeing that the score obtained on the D3 file would have been top 12 and the bump was accepted.

Welcome to D3 inDheart! Really glad to see you were up for the challenge.

Ah, so this is what bumped me down into the yellow. ;) Welcome to D3 inDheart!

oh for some reason in my head I associated Swiss with single elimination bracket style and was thoroughly confused lmao

yea Swiss would be interesting I guess

Also, because Swiss awards points for draws, you don't even have to get bogged down in "what happens if both people AAA"
