I just joined the site but I’ve been playing Yomi for a couple months and have been really enjoying it, so I figured I might as well try this out. I’ll just start out with my three favorite characters :geiger: :troq: :rook:

@vengefulpickle I love the work you do for the community, but I would suggest that you don’t seed all entrants in the future. I like seeding, but maybe only for top 8 (so that there are fewer first round potential grand finals). If you seed the last ranked guy against the first ranked guy every time, seems like that’s not a great experience (now watch me get blown up round 1).

Hmmm. That’s an interesting point. I haven’t sent out the match invites yet, so I’m considering randomizing the bottom 50% of players.

I agree with fivec, seed top 8 so they don’t meet early, let everything else be random.

Alrighty, done. We’ll see how it goes!

Speaking as one of the people who would likely be facing a pretty rough round 1 with full top-bottom seeding, I don’t think that’s actually a problem. The tournament being double-elimination naturally leads to more even match-ups in the later rounds. If you’re going to seed anyone (and I think you should) it makes no sense to go for half measures.

I was reading some arguments to that effect. I’m going to stick to this bracket for this tournament, but I’m definitely willing to reconsider for the next one I run (and seed the whole thing).
