RE: Classic+1 Swap Battle Tournament (fights)
Okay then can you do it cross style then? Cause it looks like last tourney you set it up slaughter style which is completely unfair to whoever you deem the worst player as they have to fight the best player and then when they lose even if they manage to beat the 5th best they then have to fight the 3rd best immediately afterwards meaning it's almost guaranteed that they won't win any prizes unless they become the 2nd best player by the end of the tourney and even then they'd only win third place
You mean the worst player is not favored to win? what a surprise
In cross, 3rd/4th in skill level both would score below 5th. The losers of the respective 1/2 and 3/4 pair end up scoring much lower than their skill level suggests, mostly because they never get to match up against 5th: 1/2/5/3/6/7/4/8. Why would you even use the "even if they manage to beat X they have to fight 3rd best", at that position in the loser's bracket (1 win) anyone there is at 2nd-4th.
Despite my skepticism that this is a good idea, because it seems like 3rd and 4th place will get screwed over, I'll do it if there aren't any other objections from others.
