Or should we reward longevity? Adverse does have a W over Johnny...

And the seedings for #2, #3, and #4 slots are confusing because Adverse beat Johnny, I beat Adverse, then Johnny beat me... so it's sort of like we all deserve the #2 in a way lol... but Johnny will get it I believe. Lars at #1 if he signs in. Then I'm thinking myself at #3 and Addy at #4 (only because of the head-to-head results)

Fair?
I'm fine wherever tbh I'm not too concerned with seeding

Go ahead and give me 4 and give Johnny 2nd, he deserves it, I really don't have any quality W's to my name other than Johnny.

I'd like to think being the champ should give me better seeding in this otherwise it devalues the title. Lars was the champ when he left and I'm ok with him being seeded at 1# but there's an argument to be made that leaving the league for several weeks without defending the title would count as vacating it. If that was the case he'd be seeded at #4 in the current rankings.

In any event in a 16 person tournament I'd set the initial brackets as so:

#1
#16

#5
#12

#3
#14

#7
#10

#8
#9

#4
#13

#6
#11

#2
#15


I think that's how the pro's do it.

Thanks Adverse.

You're too humble... I'll see how things work out depending on who signs up.

Speaking of which, one of you should throw up the Playoff sign ins and keep it up for a week and see who we can get.

Johnny I agree with the Champ status being respected so you will be #1 or #2. But I think Lars deserves the #1 because even though he signed out, he has beaten myself and Adverse, and you have lost to Adverse. To me that's the tie breaker but I'm open to suggestions.

I was literally writing up the thread as I saw this. Read my mind Uni.

Like I said, I'm ok with Lars at #1.

Going through Archives. Here's how I'm breaking it down... Lars really only has 2 quality W's imo. Interesting.

Quality Wins (not including forfeits, no shows etc.)

Lars - Adverse, Universe

Adverse - Bodey, Vulgar, Johnny 6 Feet, Inno

Johnny 6 Feet - Artifice, Inno, MMLP, Universe

Universe - dead man, Lars, Scar, Adverse

Everyone wanting in for the playoffs make a point of saying so in the sign up thread. 14 spaces left.

I got too deep, plain and simple. Lesson learned. Shoulda stuck with the popcorn superhero gimmick that everyone liked lol.

On to the playoffs. @Inno drop your Year End Awards vote plz we still got ties. Want to wrap that up for the mag.

Thanks man! Reckon it's been around 13 years since I won the Sacred Scriptures title in Rapbattles? Hell of a drought.

Also, I'm old.
