Playoffs Round 1 chat and predictions
 

As we have stated all season, seeding for the playoffs was decided based on strength of victory. This was done by calculating win totals for the people each person beat. Vulgar was given the top seed as the season champion, but otherwise all of this was calculated strictly based on that. YDK gets the last spot because he had the best set of three victories among the seven people with three victories.

Round 1:

No. 5 @PancakeBrah vs. No. 12 @YDK: "You Must Love Me"
No. 6 @Frank vs. No. 11 @patrown: "Never Change"
No. 7 @NYCSPITZ vs. No. 10 @breathless: "Coming of Age"
No. 8 @Mike Wrecka vs. No. 9 @Diode: "Moment of Clarity"

Byes: No. 1 @Vulgar, No. 2 @Vividlyvague, No. 3 @Certain and No. 4 @Mr. J.

Battle threads with topics will be posted tonight. I'm going to try to do something nicer looking in Photoshop tonight, too.

Commence discussion and speculation and whatever else you do.

Here's your quick look back at Week 10 results:

Title Match: Vulgar (6-2) won via PancakeBrah (6-2) no-show.
Vividlyvague (7-3) beat Frank (6-4) 5-0.
NYCSPITZ (5-3) beat Certain (7-3) 6-0.
Mr. J (6-4) won via Mike Wrecka (5-5) no-show.
Diode (5-0) beat ThisisDAM (3-1) 5-4.
patrown (4-3) beat Adonis (3-6) 5-3.
breathless (4-5) beat Buddha (3-5) 6-3.
ZYG (3-2) won via Pinot Grij (0-1) no-show.
Mordycai (2-1) beat Nigma (0-2) 6-0.

That left us with seven people holding three wins and one open spot in the playoffs. Who received that bid? That will be revealed in the next 12-or-so hours.

In this bitch. I predict an insane week.

I just finished reading the three no-show verses from this week. I have to say that I think Week 10 featured the best writing of the season.

Just realized I missed one vote last week. My bad.

Poppycock, guess I'm out...have fun

Have fun. Should be dope

Sorry bout not getting two more votes in was going to at work last niht on my hone but fuuuuck that.

Dude you have the least losses out of all the 3 win people and a decent SOS.

Pretty sure they'll give it to Zyg if he's in.

Considering I beat you by one vote vs completely trouncing Zyg, one would think you'd have the upper hand there. Dunno if you have had any other like opponents.

I beat Zyg 7-4 I think. But, I think they like him more. It's cool, I decided to sign up in the league too late, hah

@Mike Wrecka

Where the hell did the loss in my record come from?

Play offs r overrated.

I say we just keep the regular season going forever.

@ThisisDAM actually you're record (3-1) is better than ZYG's (3-2) and you also own the tiebreaker over him. So you're more than likely in the playoffs in that last spot.

Records from this week haven't been updated yet. Were you ever in a fight night or anything?

Sorry for not voting last week. Horrible weekend for netcees responsibilities. I'll vote on every match this week

I am not going to say anything definitive about the three-wins people and the 12th playoff spot because it's Mike Wrecka's call. But there were seven people with three wins, and the decision will come based on what happened this season rather than a writer's reputation.

Serious question: Would that be such a bad idea? A year-round league broken up by occasional site-wide open tournaments?

I'd love to hear anyone weigh in on this.

Would that prove a disincentive to competing regularly or showing up? That'd be my biggest worry, that no-shows and not voting would be far more common because wins would not be as important.
