I've mentioned it before, but for those who don't know, tourney matches were decided by a randomizer for the first round. Now, the idea has been presented to me of possibly using a randomizer the next two rounds as well to continue making the matches totally random until the finals. Is this something you'd prefer or would you like to see it stay the same top to bottom bracket it is now? |

Of those choices I voted for keeping the brackets, but honestly I think you should reseed subsequent rounds based on your assessment of talent level and storyline factors (the face/heel dynamic, any possible rivalries, etc).

Since everyone is starting out on equal footing, I think the fair thing to do is keep on randomizing the brackets in each round up until the final match.

I voted random, because a coin flip told me to. Also because I loves me some chaos.

Random, like football* teams do when it's the FA cup or the Champion's league. In fact, you should do a live draw on tiny chat where you pull numbers out of a bag and be like "19, Jay Omega will face, *dramatic pause* 12 Teddy Sol" and then everyone loses their shit.
*Soccerball for you uncouth Americans.

I like Big's idea.
I would though like to say that you should randomize every round including the finals. #Troll

Randomizing keeps things interesting and I haven't seee it done before.

I like Jenson's idea for the tinychat "grab bag". Almost makes it feel drafty and I love random chance things!

"grab bag" sounds incredibly dirty.
I like it.

Let the brackets be decided by your personal psychic advisor.

Given the 18-2 result, I think it's safe to say that for the next 2 rounds, the matchups will be randomized as well.

We should have a Polar Phantasm AI on Overload represent the randomizer. ICE 9000.

We should have a Polar Phantasm AI on Overload represent the randomizer. ICE 9000. It's an honor to be associated with the word 'random'. If there's any chance of making it happen, someone should sing karaoke with the Polar AI on harmony. I'd do it myself but it's way funnier if someone else does it. Also, someone should sell the Polar AI to a local PBS affiliate so Polar can eventually notice that the entity hosting the telethon that he's watching is a hologram of him or something. That'd be fun. -B. |
