There is a HUGE mistake in the brackets at http://www.nasl.tv/Images/graphLarge.jpg
* Seeds 1 and 3, and 2 and 4 hit each other in second round when they should hit each other in third round.
* Each first round pair should sum to 17 and that's not the case (one sums to 16 and the other to 18)
Hopefully this is just an error in the image and not in the actual tournament format.
I will try to find an image of a single elimination bracket with seeds correctly positioned.

Edit: here we go, this bracket is good: http://www.wvmat.com/brackets/bracket8.jpg

Thanks for posting the brackets, awesome!

I must say though, as a professional graphic artist, I see various errors on the bracket image. Sorry if it makes you guys uncomfortable me writing this, but I feel the professional image NASL is trying to represent, is being stained with things like these.

1) Red box text is scaled horizontally, this makes it look highly unprofessional.
2) "Remaining" text is written "Remaing"
3) I dont understand the palette. You have a really nice saturated green and purple, though you maintain unsaturated blues and reds, and a really weird chick yellow that stands too much out of the image.
4) Image compression: You can see the artifacts near the the texts. Preferably, as this is an image that will be highly viewed, either try not to compress the jpg or save it as a lossless png, which makes it much better.
5) "Single Elimination" is written "Single Elimation".
6) There is no NASL logo on the image. Every separate image should have the NASL logo.

I think all these issues are a must fix.

this is how it's normally done, not sure if you guys are trying to be different or just made them up on the fly.

The way outlined in the second link is how it's done in order to maximize the advantage of the higher seeds. So, assuming the higher seed wins every game, the #1 seed will play the lowest seeded player the next round.

At the very least, the 1, 2, 3, and 4 seeds should be in different quarters of the bracket, otherwise the seeds have little meaning.

Hi, I have a queation.

As huge and awesome NASL is going to be, it will be impossible for a person like me to watch every single game. Personally I will pick a few players and follow them. Even though I will not be able to see every game I want do want to be "involved" in the tournament as much as possible.

Will there be a recap show every week? a show where you will show all the results and highlights of the games played that week, so that people like me can follow it as good as possible without having to invest impossible amounts of time or just rely on results without seing any actual gameplay.

Hey, I got some questions about the format, too.

#1 How do you determine seeding for the Top2 of each Division(red spots)?
#2 Is it one bracket per division or do we see mixed brackets(blue spots; 3rd-6th place in each Div.)?
#3 "bottom 16 out" How do you get from 20(7th - 10th place) to 16?

yeah this NEEDS to be fixed.

it should be (from top to bottom)

1-16, 8-9, 4-13, 5-12, 7-10, 6-11, 3-14, 2-15

otherwise it's impossible for the top 4 seeds to all be in semis

No your way makes 3 and 2 hit eachother in Round 2 as well...

Should be {[1v16,9v8][5v12,13v4]}{[13v4,6v11][7v10,15v2]}
