Since we've had yet another question about transparency, and your last event was the catalyst, can you please take some time to be forthcoming about your methods for running the tournament? Those last few slots might be hard to fill if people still feel burned by your previous comments.
Um i don't think anyone is burned by my defending comments.... I think its a little harsh to say that. This tournament is a small tournament that a selective group of people play. I'm not making this tournament unfair by any means. I do randomize the brackets. I then(if needed) seed to make a best out come of a final, but that doesn't mean people get free rides. I don't want durka vsing olive or xyron in the opening round. I want my finals to be worth it in this tournament. The two tronners that make it to the finals in this tournament DESERVE to be in the final. Cause it indeed is not an easy ride.
Besides so what if i seed a couple people, you're going have to face them eventually(if you win and they win of course but just saying, there is a chance)
I don't think what im doing is rigging, its randomizing + seeding to make the best out come of a final. Also again its not a free ride, you have to work to make it to the finals in this tournament.
I'm not being mean by any means, but some people don't like this method, and that's okay. they don't have to sign-up, i'm not going to get a pitch fork and go ballistic, then there are people who do like my method. I for one wouldn't mind if tournaments were randomized then seeded for a best out come for a final makes me wanna win harder. In fact Ladle pops in to my mind. Thats basically what im doing. just randomizing ALL teams first and seeing what the outcome is.(i guess its easier to go ahead and put them in the bracket and randomize the rest of the teams.

Don't you think that there will be a good final match-up anyway, even if you let the brackets be as they are? I mean, the probability that there is one "good" player in the upper and one "good" player in the lower bracket is very high. Well, I do not really mind because I will play in this tournament in any case, yet it would possibly be a solution so there is noone complaining furthermore.
so if you are not skilled then just don't sign up right cody? Because if you move durka or olive you have to move them somewhere. Probably to some poor noob in one of the sides of brackets that could have gone further and have more fun, but he faces durka or xyron and then he loses in the first round. This really suck.

Well in this tournament yeah, don't sign up if you can't single bind well(its kind of like signing up for a basket ball game and yet you don't know how to play basket ball)
Also gonzap, your argument is invalid, SOMEONE ALWAYS HAS to play durka or olive or xyron in ANY tournament.
Since you're all about having fun how about next ladle,CT loses to ID or uNa or hey even DpG! so they can go further and have fun
