Imagine rolling zhavier as your round 2 two tournaments in a row.
Oh wait, that happened

At least that’s an indication you won your first match each time bomber. Imagine rolling EricF for your game 1 two tournaments in a row…
Someone should really yell at the guy running the tournament for such rotten luck… Oh wait
Lol 10 chars
The links for Round 2 are broken, commas don’t get added to the URLs.
Thanks for the heads up @charnel_mouse, I’ll make sure that doesn’t happen next round and I fixed the r2 links
Okay, all round 2 games have completed so posting the next set of matchups a little early for extra time to complete. @James you have rolled the bye for this round
Okay y’all, the next round is still kinda up in the air with mine and Nopethebard’s match still in progress and the possibility of my elimination. So, I’m positing the matchups that can start now
@FrozenStorm this is a very trivial request but can you change my ID to all lowercase? Thanks! It’s just for consistency. sorry for being difficult;;
Not difficult at all, I gotchu
Here comes round 5! We now have 4 players eliminated (once charnel and I finish one of us is out) @Legion you’re the only one who needs to wait on game start (pending who wins my match with charnel), @Bryce_The_Rice you’ve got the bye
GL HF ALL!
EDIT @Legion my game with charnel finished as expected, go ahead and start your r5 game at your convenience!
Round six incoming! We’re still waiting on Unity and James to finish up last round but the matchups are createable without the outcome (and no bye this round!)
3 more eliminated so our field of 15 is now down to 8!
GL HF to all as we prune 2 more combatants in the next round
EDIT: @Unity congrats on the win last round, you’re up to create your R6 match vs @codexnewb!
Here comes the next round! Down to 6, GL HF all!
EDIT didn’t realize my own matchmaking priority, fixed now, sorry everyone!
I only have 1 loss so it could be 4
Yes, for some reason I counted only 1 emerging from the other two matches. No more posting matches on my phone before coffee lol
Just wondering if I should be paired against Legion first since zhavier and I already met in Round 3
I’ve already fought everyone left except Persephone, so yea, probably.
I didn’t even realize the priority I --listed-- (copy pasted from past tournaments) had no rematches over number of losses. I spose yes then, bansa v legion and Persephone v zhav. I’ll fix it when I’m back at a computer
EDIT fixed above, apologizes to @bansa @zhavier @Persephone and @Legion
One of the benefits of everyone still playing being eligible to win the whole thing is being able to pair across win records without creating obvious opportunities for bribery.
I’m unclear what the bribery weakness is with matching by win record as a primary, can you elaborate?
I believe Eric refers to how in normal Swiss, you can lose so many games that you’re mathematically unable to make the cut to a bracket, or to win. This means that sometimes players can be bribed to intentionally throw specific games to bolster one player’s win record.
And that brings problems because how are you going to enforce rules against throwing games? What if they’re just not playing well in that game?
With the battle royale/“elimination after three losses” format, anyone who’s playing is in contention to win.
