LordCowCowCowCowCowCowCowCow Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 Am I not getting a match this round? I think he's doing 4 regular matches every day. There's 8 up atm and 12 matches in total (I think?) You should be in the tomorrow night matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted June 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 Unlike with my run (which did 6 per day), Striker's doing 4 at a time; both regular and redemption. So yeah, you should be in the third batch, Lunar. Just for the record, I've decided to withdraw from the tournament due to personal reasons, so there shouldn't be any 3P fights this time around. If you do not see my name in the matches, now you know. (I advanced on to round 2, but given certain things, I decided it was best that I quietly withdraw from this) ------ I'm only keeping track of the regular fights; redemption will be kept in the separate thread.

Spinny Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 *kill list instensifies* oh, uh, I wasn't meant to say that was I? Anyways, I lost to zex but zextra seems cool and he partook in one of my pokemon giveaways so I don't mind losing to such an awesome guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted June 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 Zextra is cool, but you just don't see him around because of college work. I do have periodic PM chats with him about our university lives. But yeah, it was a very close fight. Anyway, it seems round 3 is up; and that pairing apparently happened. Going to update the pairings on main post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Max Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 Zextra or Rod have not appeared on tonights fights....Well crap lol Would be epic if me and Zex faced each other R3. Would be a fitting rematch from YMB3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted June 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 If they're on tonight's matches, then they will be on the next batch for tomorrow's. With that in mind, this round is the last of the elimination ones. Once those are over, we'll be doing round-robins to determine an overall. (I talked to Striker about how things are going to be run for that portion, seeing as it can get hectic after a while) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted June 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 You know full well that I gave Striker control of the tournament starting in Round 2, UE. If you want the seeds, PM him for them. I'll say this again; I'm only updating the main thread with the main series matches as they are posted, but nothing further than that.

(GigaDrillBreaker) Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 Presumably, he was asking Striker for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted June 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 I'm assuming that is the case as well, since I'm not in charge of organizing the fights (again, only documenting what they are + winners that emerge from this). Although I talk to Striker regarding the pairings and how the rest of the tournament will pan out, I do not know what the matches will be. (I've PMed him about this, in the event that he doesn't check up in here) After this round concludes, it'll be the RR fights. So far, there are no ties, so things should work out smoothly (although things will still work even if we do have tied matches). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Max Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 I hate to be THAT person but I always assumed that Round Robin was usually I Round 1 and then Eliminations. Just seems like a way of extending it now for the sake of extending it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted June 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 Considering we had 52 members to contend with at the start of the tournament [this was designed on a 48-man thing, but there was some unexpected overflow], doing RRs like that from the start would've made things take forever. (Would be a more accurate picture of member standing, but I don't think we'd want to be dragging this thing out for an extended period of time; not to mention how much the tournament would flood Polls; even if the activity is appreciated.) ---- Basically, first three rounds are straight elimination fights to figure out the best ones (48 [R1] -> 24 [R2] -> 12 [R3] -> 6 [RR]); then the remaining 6 will fight it out in RRs to determine an absolute winner. Each win gets 2 points, a tie is 1 point and losses are obvious zeroes in calculating the final scores. ---- Basically, survive this round and you're guaranteed at least 6th place (or 7th, depending if we have a tie somewhere later on). Of course, that means you'll be pitted against all of the other members who've survived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordCowCowCowCowCowCowCowCow Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 Wait so I'm in the top six now? Wow, just....thanks people...Thanks. ^^; Hmm, top six round robin seems weird but I guess it does work as a way to make sure the favorite is decided maybe, I dunno. But either way it's almost over eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted June 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 The tournament should end within a week or two, given the RR fights should only take a day per batch. I wouldn't say the tournament is over yet, but the elimination process certainly is coming to a close. With that in mind, the prize images need to be prepared [although there's a week to prepare them]. As for the RR thing, we had it set to top 6, so we'd have a definitive list of people. If we had a smaller pool, then perhaps we could've done RR all the way; but 52 people at the start is, again, too much and would drag the tournament on for longer than we'd like.

Nathanael D. Striker Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 I'd like to take YMB VII. Group stages with RR with 48-64 people to determine a 16 person bracket would be nice. That's just a beginning thought though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's just a beginning thought though. I believe that's similar to what Agro did? So whenever you do this (It really should be at least 6 months from the end of this one, if not longer) maybe ask him what he did/look for his thread.

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted June 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 Anyone who wants to take YMB 7 is more than welcome to do it. You don't need permission for that. As for what Agro did in YMB 5, he only had 32 competitors [likely due to lack of staff nominations and other things], but basically did RR the whole way. (I'll explain it if you'd rather not search for it) Participants divided into 8 groups Members are given RR matches against one another within group. Top 2 from each group move on The remaining 16 fight in single elimination matches So yeah Striker, the format you'd like to do is kind of similar. http://forum.yugiohcardmaker.net/topic/321367-ycm-member-brawl-v/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted June 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 Just so things are made easier, the RR standings will be noted on the main post (like they would've been). However, here's a half-time progress report for what happened so far. Reminder that wins are 2 points, ties are 1 and losses are 0. SCOREBOARD FOR RR Zextra - 0 Rai - 4 Armz - 2 CowCow - 6 Rodrigo - 4 Nai - 2 Thus far, Cow is winning; followed by a tie between Armz/Rod for 2nd and Rai/Nai are 3rd. Zextra still needs to get on the board. [Striker's in charge of the matches now, but any awards that were mentioned earlier will be distributed as promised. Scoreboard makes it easier to keep track of standings.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted June 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 Yeah, I read my own scoreboard wrong o_O. I can pretty much say that this batch is where Zex will either make it onto the board, or be wiped out. Right now, he's tied against Rod; but losing against Rai. (And yeah, typo in my poll vote; disregard that) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathanael D. Striker Posted June 9, 2015 Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 I can still keep track of scores on challonge since it's just the match pairings that are screwed up. It even has tiebreakers in case we want to go that route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now, he's tied against Rod; but losing against Rai. Well, for the most part, it's pretty much been the same people voting for and against me in each match, so based on that, I doubt either match will go my way, but a little wishful thinking doesn't hurt, does it? :p On another note, 6th place is still cool, though.

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted June 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 Yeah, it is more/less the same people voting for the other person [but at least you still have people who like you]. But you can still force a tie if that's the most that comes out of these. @Striker: I know you can do that (since that's how I was keeping track of match wins and stuff during the DP tournaments, and some other miscellaneous stuff). Although scores are pretty much accurate thus far (in the event people don't want to wait and stuff); save for the parts with the ties [although I can probably still do it manually, even if it is a pain] Then again, we'll have to see if we have tiebreakers at the end.

I know; I feel warm and fuzzy inside, hehe. And whatever happens here, hopefully I can stick around and be more active over the summer. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
