I believe the reason previously was people don't tank pool games to avoid certain opponents or help teammates, but it's not guaranteed anyway, and it definitely should not be used in Open Bracket / Arena play. Well it does kind of make some sense. If I would get knocked out by Sven123 in the losers bracket 1-2 despite having an overall score of 3-2 against him since I won 2-0 in the winners bracket then that would suck. That's what they said on Lo3(?) recently atleast. | ||

Go back to my history - I've never liked the Extended Series rule. But it is technically fair, by the definition of fair. Read this for a definition of fair http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20091217130340AAs0gh2 And tell me how extended series is not fair. The issue is that people are saying "how is it fair? The one who lost the original series is less likely to win the subsequent one" ^ That is true. But the tournament structure is fair because prior to anyone winning or losing, all results are equally likely. | ||

It's actually game 5, because extended series tied at 2-2 now Production has been almost perfect all weekend, but today they messed up the colors on the Losira-First game and now can't even add 2+2 | ||

I think the person the advantage given to the winner of the previous series is unfair because he has done nothing to deserve it. At the moment of the match both people have lost an equal amount of games, and the loser has won more to make up for losing earlier. There is no valid rationale why the previous series should count. I don't think your definition of fair makes any sense, I don't think the only requirement for fairness is equal application. I agree that the winner doesn't "deserve" a 2-0 or 2-1 advantage. But that doesn't change the mathematical definition of fair. | ||
