I was saying we were competitive ass hole.
I'm not getting into the trophy thing again. It is another thing where rules and protocol are only followed when they feel like it, basically discriminating against certain groups of customers.
Go sell back any crap teams you have and shut the fuck up in the meantime dick head.

The main reason I quit putting any effort into tourney games is the fact they are seeded so lopsided. One of my teams from Silver played 5 Gold teams in a row while most gold teams had byes and played cpu filled teams. It's a joke now with all the byes.

No, that's merely what you wanted to hear. Not necessarily the "answer".
Not sure why it's such a big deal anyway. You don't get anything for winning one or two tourney games. You have to beat the best teams to make it to the trophy round unless you are in an extremely terrible league type and get an unheard of lucky draw.
Didn't know e-points were distributed for making it to round 2 of a tourney.
I stated early in this thread that the way the tournaments are set up don't make much sense. You took it to a whole different level by accusing the admins of taking the time and effort to tweak your specific tourney in order to fuck you and a few others over. My PWs seem to always get a Gold team in the first round (just like this season). I don't cry about it because I understand tourneys are cut and dry. You finish top 3 or you're just another team.
I have no idea why it's so important for a handful of teams that don't have a snowball's chance in hell to draw a "good" first round opponent. I still don't understand your logic. You're crying because non-boost teams are playing other non-boost teams. You didn't answer my question earlier when I asked you if you would prefer non-boosters exclusively play boosters in the first round. Oh right, then you would cry about that.
It's simple. If you don't place in the top three it makes no difference whatsoever how many games you won in the tournament.
P.S. It's obvious you are full of shit by the name calling. When you called me an "asshole" you conceded this argument.

It's just the only answer to make sense. If it is random, it should be random. If it is by level then do it by level. If you let humans interfere then it should be known to the customers. I just wanted to know what the deal with seeding is. I didn't need a wall of text telling me how much I suck and how my team shouldn't play in tourneys. This is suppose to be the help forum.

actually its not always so lopsided
this season, for example, my UniversityElite #1 team plays another University Elite #1 team in round 1. And the day after we played them in regular season.
Had to ask myself what was more important, game 1 of regular season in University league or Round1 in GLB Tourney
well, you don't get trophies for regular season wins
And with the amount of teams that join the GLB tourney from all the leagues I just don't see how it's not somehow generated based on EL, SPV, # of dots on roster, league teams are in (such as competitive/elite) and some randomness. Hell I think if 6 non boosting teams get to play each other in the 1st round that is a good thing, and possibly just luck of the roll but good luck !

No the underground teams did not sign up at the same time. What would signing up at the same time have to do with byes?
My suspicion is that someone had their hand in it. We have dealt with discriminate admin in the past. Would make sense for them to get rid of a big chunk of underground teams before the tourney really started.
It just seems to be too much of a coincidence, but maybe that is all it is.
coulda just got rid of them all tho

I thought so as well. Then 6 of the 10 prep teams who did not receive byes were all underground teams and all set to play each other. No way that was random.
As has been pointed out already, this is highly unlikely.
"Highly unlikely" does not mean "impossible," however.
Winning the lottery is even more unlikely. Yet there are people who win the lottery.
If this starts happening every season, then yeah, sign me up for a pitchfork and a torch. Otherwise, go Google the best tin-foil hat designs.

Here was the last game we played during our last cycle. It was a second round loss to an elite team. We put up a fight.

We were already lied to about trophies and now I was wondering if they are changing up something that is suppose to be random without telling us.
Wait putting up a fight is scoring 3 garbage time TDs?

I don't even game plan for tourney games unless we start closing in on the trophy rounds.

What the fuck do you want from me. I'm sorry I didn't win. Who the fucking hell do you dickheads think you are telling me I can't play? I'm not breaking any rules so shut the fuck up.
Does trolling players in the Player Guides and Newbie Help section of the forum really make you fell good about yourselves? Get a fucking life losers. Do you actually think fucking with players here who are looking for serious answers is helping anyone? You just pop onto any thread because you are extremely starved for attention. You guys realize this is not real right? You feel pretty fucking important huh? Well when your sitting on your death bed reflecting back at what you did with your life you will realize you wasted your entire life looking at little colored dots moving around on a little screen. Go you!
