Good luck to everyone

Post by: Conraaa on January 17, 2017, 06:42:51 AM: 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.

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.

Post by: Meganerdbomb on January 17, 2017, 09:19:30 AM: 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.

So take out the bye entries and let challonge distribute like this?

Post by: Conraaa on January 17, 2017, 12:40:56 PM: Yep. Make sure you shuffle the seeds beforehand.
Title: Re: SFTW Showdown - SBV
Post by: wakkydude on January 17, 2017, 03:51:10 PM: Well I had them covered because I'd done some shuffling in the background I didn't want to spoil.

There's your actual bracket that's not awful this time!

Post by: Meganerdbomb on January 17, 2017, 03:57:15 PM: Yay, I'm not facing one of the tryhard bots in round one, so I might actually get to be in TWO fights. Also, the multibots are fighting each other, this will be good.

This should be interesting.

Title: Re: SFTW Showdown - SBV
Post by: Meganerdbomb on February 15, 2017, 07:21:23 AM: That went exactly as I expected.

3 hs and one lolstiltbot left. Definitely rooting for Giece now

Requesting a bonus bracket for the jokebots.

I'm definitely up for taking ideas for some extra battles at the end but it's hard to work out exactly what the joke bots are in this tournament so more specific requests would be great

Thanks for entering, lads! There may be some more battles later but all my time-restricted obligations are over and that's all that really matters. It was a lot of fun seeing what you guys came up with!

After that first round, I thought you had it. Your bot was the best stiltbot counter, even though it lost.

I bid you farewell on this tournament with the AI pack (https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=326).
