THF Halo 2 Classic 1v1 Tournament - September 5th
@bx you should create a point system and then nv1 could integrate a simple credit script to have it be fully integrated to the tournament system
edit- I can help write/or just write the script even
Honestly, it would probably just easier for me to do it myself. Now that we have three events under our belts on the new site I can create a more accurate seeding system.
Great tournament and thanks to Bx. My only suggestion would be to have some form of a "loser bracket" next time. I'd like to be able to say what place I finished in rather than just saying "top 8" or w/e. It's also not really fair for someone like Hustla to get knocked in the first round by someone on a smurf and not have a chance to play again and fight for a decent finish. Thanks again for the tournament and I can't wait to play in more in the future. (h2c ffa again sometime pls) ;)

Thank you, and yeah I think I should do that next time. I originally wanted everything to be double elim, but I was afraid that it would be too difficult to run. Now that I have a little more experience, I feel confident enough to do double elim.
Seeding is crucial especially in a host dependent game like Halo 2. The map selection in this tournament was fine; Lockout and Warlock going to the player who hosts 2/3 while Midship goes to the unfortunate guy hosting 1/3.
Yeah, somebody's gotta host but the seeding method(s) need to be changed. One way to determine seeding that I'd be content with is having all of the contestants play Midship FFAs and be graded by some sort of point system. Granted, that is a lot of work for such a small prize pool but if you want the participants to be accurately seeded, that's one surefire method to make things fair.
Double elimination wouldn't be a bad idea either.
