I think only Bracket #2 finished today - Smurfs/Carthage winner (Smurfs) today in Bracket #1 still has to face the Blaze, and the HHWC/Moose Jaw winner (HHWC) today in Bracket #4 still has to face Gunny. And Bracket #3 is of course running behind - Cambodian/Cinci is tomorrow, winner plays Nairobi (who already has Cinci scheduled for the 28th, not sure if that's in anticipation for this tournament), and then THAT winner plays Korb to get to the Road to the Championship.

I also don't quite understand how the 1-loss winners will be slotted into the final 8. Does Osaka get the Finished First slot and play Alpine, or do we have the the same rank as the winner from Bracket #2, which means we "finished 2nd" and face Saigon?

Good enough game that I was nervous until the first half was over - was NOT looking forward to losing via turnovers and not taking care of things on special teams, but fortunately those were both short lived problems.

Went to go look back at prior games I'd had vs So Cal, and despite my dot being in his 3rd season of WL play (on 3 different teams lol) this is my first matchup with you guys. Let's do it again next season

Seriously, this championship bracket sucks....should be ladder 1 vs. 4 and 2 vs. 3.....not this other way where ladder 1 can play ladder 1 again 1st round of championship.

Not a complaint, but rather a suggestion for the future. Thanks for the tourney and GL to all still in!

The other option is to finish the double-elim and have just 1 winner from each bracket, which caused timing problems in the past (as they might have to play 2 games to settle the bracket) and didn't work well when only 3 brackets filled up for the tournament.

I actually don't mind it as it stands, but it is fairly arbitrary. Plus someone might try to game the system to create favorable matchups by delaying games, which defeats the purpose (you want to incentivize finishing early)

I've have tried it this way for Three of Four season now. We did (Just) the 64 team bracket in the past, Finished up all of them except a couple of seasons. This way was suggested by a Mod, and seems to work okay. The seeding was to try and get teams to help push slower brackets. That idea which came from a few others doesn't work as well as hoped. Doing the true seedings, Might be an option. However, Waiting for teams to come threw the one loss bracket might continue to slow this up.

Fell free to Talk about it, PM me or Post. I've always have listened even if I know it's sarcasim. Sometime sarcasim makes great ideas. Although some are just sarcastic words. lol
I'm just about to the point of Putting all 64 teams into ONE bracket again and do away with the Championship Bracket. What I do like about going to the Championship Bracket, Helps teams that greatly improve throughout the season. It gives them a chance to come back. Especially, if they lost early on. If we Waited to do a draw for this, it would never get finished.

I do the One loss Bracket, as well as the Draw for these Reason.

1. A lower seeded team has a chance to win at least one game if he has a good draw.
2. Improving teams have a shot to come back place in the tournament.
3. GM's have to focus on their Game plan early for Stiff competition, instead of Blow-Outs.
4. A Great Match-up Could end up being early, Thus giving the team that loses a chance to Play for revenge.
5. I have always liked the underdog! Here the underdog might have a chance to utilize their GM skills for the re-match.

As well as a few other small reasons, One There really isn't a Double elimination Tournament here. It's mainly One and Done. This also Provides some teams a chance to play their level instead of being forced to play over matched teams the first Game. Again, if lucky in the draw.

Throw some ideas, I'll listen. This used to be the Coca~Cola Tournament. Due to a few things, especially with trophies, GLB wasn't sure about posting Coca~Cola Trophies due to trademark issues. Therefore, I let the teams in the Tournament Choose the Name. The Real Thing was chose by Team Owners and Agents.
So feel free to Keep posting ideas! You neve know! Yet I will keep it Double Elimination as well as draw.

Thanks for the feedback You have sent thusfar! I am debating on a few changes.

Pretty sure you still have Midwest Masterminds in the wrong spot. As it stands, you have both teams advancing from Bracket 4 playing each other in the first round of the championship bracket.

Looks like Cinci beat Carthage for Bracket 3, and Cinci/Nairobi is scheduled for tomorrow. The winner still needs to play Korb to finish up the 1-loss bracket and get to the top 8, but it's moving.
Going to be tight to finish this with just 10 days left - 8 days to get 4 games in, hopefully Korb, Cinci, Nairobi, and even the Masterminds (likely the first top 8 opponent of this bracket) are on top of it.

Unfortunately Osaka and Alpine is facing off in the WL playoffs, so this game could turn into a joke. Its nice to do well in the tourneys, but can't be compared to the WL playoffs.
