This norm is not proper group play. It's a mini bracket where player A can get kicked in the balls by Zest, beat player B - who did not have to play Zest at all - head-to-head over two series but still go out because he lost the second one. That is the not so cool part of it.

MLG gave it such a bad name that I can't get over it. I mean, they made it carry through from the groups. The groups!

that's why i hate to say it. but just for a single group stage i think it could be a decent solution. don't count it later on obviously.

I agree. The playing someone twice problem is an argument for extended series or some other advantage for the earlier winner, not for round robin.

I have some lego too, let us construct the most fiendish weapons we can conceive of and then meet in glorious battle in the sight of the gods. I'm thinking about just throwing random pieces on the ground, I don't think there is a more painful way to lose a fight.

So, finally back from writing PM, does anyone have updates on Flubz? It's interesting to see a saudi-arabian player here, hope he does well.

Hmm, to bad, I assumed, he would lose to MlorD anyway, but he might have had a chance against the 2 swedish guys.
