Thanks for finishing this. Tittybot os now tied with Shebeast for best performance of any tournament bot I've entered. (That's kinda sad actually)

Are you implying I wouldn't finish a tournament? And this is far more prestigious than BBEANS.

Voting closes on Sunday, people.

Off-Topic Discussion / Re: Top 50 Albums List

Well, this was a hard one, actually trying to think of 50 albums i've listened to and liked. Using Portal 2 was a bit of a cop out admittedly.
(Image removed from quote.)
Still not sure about Enigmatic Box of Sound, or the order of the top 4, it'll probably be changed in the near future.

When you see the top 50 you did 5 years ago and want to kill yourself. I'm not sure why I padded that last one out with compilation albums (Hello, Portal 2 soundtrack!) and albums I hadn't fully listened to instead of just making a shorter list.



Don't get me wrong, with five Sparks albums and four They Might Be Giants albums, this one isn't much better. But at least i've listened to all of these fully! (Including elseq. I had to set aside a day for that one.)

Yep. Make sure you shuffle the seeds beforehand.

Conraaa is right, doing the byes that way is a horrible idea. Mix them randomly into the 1st round.

Even then they should be spread evenly, not randomly. So two byes don't meet in the first round and allow someone to skip the quarter final.

Just shuffle the seeds in challonge and let it do the hard work.

You've also managed to choose a configuration that has more byes than needed. You only need 4.

I only count 4 byes; is there a secret one I'm missing?

If you squint a bit, only get a few hours sleep and then count it, it's more than 4.

Rectifying my original post. But my point still stands. This current layout is not fair. There are byes in what should be one of the most hype matches (Semi finals). Byes should only be used to get a tournament to the "Standard" format (2n participants in a round) as quickly as possible and then go from there. While this is more "Fair" intially (Everyone fights in round 1, I see why you did it). It becomes massively unfair when someone gets to skip the semi final and goes straight to the final.

I'd like those brackets reshuffled. Someone just getting straight to the grand final in the third round doesn't work. Byes should be evenly distributed and only be in place for the first round, and then the tournament should be standard from there. You've also managed to choose a configuration that has more byes than needed. You only need 4.

Edited because I am talking out of my arse in the last sentence.
