EDIT: PACT I is finished. It was a smashing success.

The results are as follows:

Alright, everything seems to be set in stone, except for the brackets. We have ten (or eleven) people coming. However, with ten contestants, there will always be complete pairs, and always one extra person per side of the elimination table, save for the semifinals. That makes for two people always without pairs. If we pair them up and put them on one side of the elimination table, then that would make the thing unbalanced, since on one side there will be three pairs, and on the other side only two. Plus, once the first round is over, the problem of the extra person pops up again.

Argh, I should draw this stuff out in case you guys don't get what I'm saying, but I have no time right now... I hope some of you do get the picture I'm trying to paint.

Any other ideas on how to make this work?

[Serene]

Dala na rin ng Bloody Roar~

It's easier if it's in round robin...
But since it's in bracket format...

Let me see...
What if we do it this way?

[Grim]

Yes, that would work. Number 11's a pretty lucky guy. :tongue:

However, what about if only ten can make it? In that case, going by your illustration, this will be the case:



It's really quite unfair, contestants five, six, seven and eight will have to go through three matchups, as opposed to the others who will only have to go through two, to get to the finals. Any other suggestions guys? For the moment, this looks good, besides that issue of fairness.

Oh and BTW, I noticed that the ECM pods weren't listed in the ban list? :blink:
Added.

[Serene]

Wait a while...

Darn I'm getting a headache...

We'll figure it out... something or at least somewhen...

Even = Normal Bracket matches
Odd = Append or pick a wildcard from losing players from previous matches...

What do you think?

[Grim]

I think I'm gonna need time to think about this. Gotta go to school, you know? XD

The others can have their contributions too, don't forget. C'mon guys, we need help.

[Serene]

I'm doing my school project as of now...
Maybe I can post it when I'm done...

Anyways...
If there're 12 of us, maybe we can pull it off easily...

[Lord_Leperman]

Maybe we can drag one's sibling along? That is, if its alright with Doom Trigger

[Serene]

I was planning on bringing my brother along...
Or my friend...
Whoever is available...
Kaso, wala pang confirmation ni DT kung ok...

[Lord_Leperman]

Let's discuss the meeting place to get to the venue. I know some of us don't know where the venue is, so I'm asking Jay to once again to help guide us to the location.

We'll probably carpool from SM megamall and meet up with those who want to go for the ride.

Nix, are you and Maitreya still taking my car with me to get there?

[Serene]

I hope this helps...

Sowee guys fro the late reply(oh my, it's the 3rd time this day I've written the same message :wink: ). I've already replied to your growing number of PMs.

Can I have the confirmed number of guests? You can answer thru this page, as I don't check my e-mail or PMs unless told to (too lazy ).

Ok DT out and back to work :hmm: ..
