Group Selection Results: + Show Spoiler + Final grouping: + Show Spoiler + + Show Spoiler [Group Selection FAQ] +Group Selection
The 4 seeds are placed in separate groups so that Seed #1 is 1st in Group A, Seed #2 is 1st in Group B and so on. The seeds then get to choose their groups. Seeds #1->#4 get to pick one player each from the player pool which then joins the seed in their group as the 2nd player. After that the 2nd player in Group D picks a player, then the 2nd player in Group C, then Group B then Group A. Then the 3rd player in Group A picks, then group B, then Group C, then Group D. And Viola! We have 4 groups of 4 players
Group Play
Each of those groups plays in a round-robin style so that everyone plays everyone else. The top 2 qualifiers from the group enter into the Bracket Phase. Occasionally there are ties in the group, for example 3 players are on 2-1. In the event of such a tie another round robin takes place between the tied players until usable results are attained. For example, if there are three tied players and they each go 1-1, they play another round of tiebreakers until one player goes 2-0, 1-1 and 0-2. This way it allows the players to be ranked even in the even of a tie. If two players are tied first with 2-1, the player who defeated the other one takes the first spot.

We should totally get casters, and stream the replay and do interviews. That would make the NSL be like the TSL but for D players. =)

|
So the groups are set!
The text friendly version will be updated by QuickStriker as soon as he sees this post. =)
In the mean time, round of 16 will begin as soon as... QuickStriker and other mods figure out other small, yet important details. =)
|
Final Grouping is now finished for Ro16!!! Like SNM have been kind enough to make a nice picture of the group selections, I will soon create a separate thread for Ro16 Day 1, 2, and 3 put together where I post the matches and results and all!
Thanks everyone for picking asap since it was nice for you to pick with ease!
Now, before I make the new thread tomorrow or something, I will cover a few major details to keep heads up:
1. Map Poll and "When" matches held poll will end tomorrow when I start my new thread. So by then, the maps will be decided though as of now, it seems it's Destination, Fighting Spirit and HBR.... in that order for the moment...
2. Day 1 will MOST LIKELY (schedule to change but unlikely) be #1 vs #2 and #3 vs #4 of the 4 ppl in group. Then Day 2 is most likely #1 vs #3 and #2 vs #4. Then #1 vs #4 and #2 vs #3. So just keeps that heads up.

When and where should we meet to play our games today?

I haven't been in touch with QuickStriker for past few days. I think there's something in the OP about live game vs. replays. You guys should vote on that in meanwhile, because that will tell us when the matches will be held.
|
Play matches whenever leads the poll, but Quickstriker's previous post leads me to believe that there will be specific dates we need to show up.
One of the tourney organizers please clear this up? Seriously you need to check the thread more
|
I'm checking the thread constantly, yet I don't have all the details from the higher-ups about this. PLUS, I don't want to make a sudden move that would, otherwise (possibly) tick off other organizers of NSL.
QuickStriker, from what I know, is busy with his life at the moment and I can rarely contact him nowadays when there is Mystlord's stream available. When I see him, I will contact him ASAP.
And when we get the news, we will post it right here for every one of you. Sorry for the delay, but we have to run things right, rather than run things fast but leave it chaotic.

Things ARE chaotic when information that should be posted well beforehand does not arrive on time. This contributes more to delays and confusion then anything.
I understand people have real life things to deal with, but I don't think anyone is so damn busy or tired that they can't take like 5 minutes out of their day to check this thread, respond to questions, or talk with other organizers. Major decisions should be determined near the beginning, not 1-2 days in advance. If for some reason people can't possibly give 5-10 minutes of their time each day to make sure their project is running smoothly (who the hell doesn't have that amount of time), they shouldn't opt to run the thing in the first place.
I love what you guys are doing, and I don't mind the polls, but if major decisions like when do the players have to show up aren't decided or clarified even now (when it was supposed to have started), that's just incompetence or laziness.
Please be more timely about matters so that this tourney can remain fun and that future NSLs (if there are any) can go more smoothly.
supernovamanic, nothing against you since you're just a helper, mainly directing this at the tourney organizers.
