11th Official Tournament - Round 8

Re: 11th Official Tournament - Round 1

This is tricky, and the solution to this would be extraordinarily variable, but after talking to a few people, and looking over some things, it would almost be better off divided up like this:
D1: 10-25
D2: 26-35
D3: 36-45
D4: 46-55
D5: 56-65
D6: 66-75
D7: 76-85
D8: 85+

Ironically, I feel this is a far worse solution. There are SO many more people playing in the 56-75 range than in the novice divisions. It's pretty easy to improve in the D1/D2 skill level, but improving once you hit FMOs is a lot slower.
Under this system, D5 and D6 would be even bigger than they are now, I'd reckon, meaning extra work for the additional division, and the end result is worse.

Also I think this is where they "you're funny" comment comes from. Because this has been suggested every tournament, and it really doesn't work.
If there were to be an extra division, you'd have to squash it in between the current bottom of D7 and current mid-D6, and move current D6 and D5 down a bit, I think. It definitely wouldn't be a nice clean "every 10 difficulties" split like you have.

Re: 11th Official Tournament - Round 1

Divisions are arbitrary by nature though
That's why this issue can't be fixed by agreeing upon X number of divisions or where the cutoffs should be

So only a drastic format overhaul would get to the root of the problem

But at the moment, this method provides a framework for a standard elimination tournament, and a completely different format might not even be an improvement, just different thing with its own problems

Re: 11th Official Tournament - Round 1

The fairest way to do this is just have one division, and if you're not good at the game (i.e. high D7) then goodbye. This is the o!m system, basically.
The current division system was put in place to give novices a chance to participate, and ironically leads to players in the novice divisions complaining about it every tournament.

Whoo FFR!

I just want to note that I really don't have any issues with doing extra work for the tournaments, I really enjoy putting this all together. The issue is adding another division isn't going to solve the problem and imo there has to be a line drawn in adding divisions. I know how much it sucks being at the bottom, I've been bottom D5 forever but if I want to win I'm going to fight for it because I'd love to be better at this game.

I guess I can't understand this mentality here on FFR where a lot of people seem like they don't want to push themselves to improve. Yes this tournament is hard, and it's going to push a lot of people to their limits. I bet you we're also going to see a lot of people who boost up and improve a lot during this.

Re: 11th Official Tournament - Round 1

Because I made a suggestion? I don't expect anyone to listen to me, care, or really hear me out, but I'm getting my voice out there about all of this. I think that this is a very intelligent debate, with good suggestions, and I love debating with people on this. However, you, have added nothing intelligent to this. So if you'd like to hop in on this and discuss how you feel, go right ahead. If you're going to chip in two words, that have no relevance to what I said, I could really care less about what you have to say.

However, everyone has an opinion, as do I, so thank you for hopping in.

you complained about a AAA fest in d6. these difficulties would, for the most part certainly be followed by AAA fest.

How about for each division, an excite bike marathon is implemented, and each round, the marathon increases by an hour.

You'd have to play like, what, 370~ times per hour?
That's absurd


Do it

Re: 11th Official Tournament - Round 1

Also can we talk about how 9 out of 41 doesn't make a AAA-fest like there's still 32 spots where you can not AAA kbye.

Re: 11th Official Tournament - Round 1

I guess I can't understand this mentality here on FFR where a lot of people seem like they don't want to push themselves to improve.

I'm guessing it's because people are too hung up about absolute equality in regards to skills and divisions, which is impossible to achieve when you set up multiple divisions. Perhaps every tournament should have some sort of quick preamble in regards to the nature of a multi-divisional tournament and the fact that it will inherently result in varied degrees of skill within each division. If people don't understand this, the only thing they'll be thinking about is how "rigged" it is, a kind of thought that trumps above all else, including suggestions to improve.
