LUNACHARM1037 Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Look at the bracket MD is in, they next closest team in overall standing is 10th!! Seems to me they should of been placed in the bracket with Mystery Island, that way DC and KD are together and MI and MD are together...or maybe they should of been all together. Either way they way but the second place overall shouldn't have it that easy while other teams like MI, KD, DC, LD, KI etc are fighting out against top teams IMO.

Azeruth Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 No. They wouldn't have put MD in KD's bracket in Round One, KD is going to win so MD can only get 2nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how the points are given out but MD was only 4pts overall behind going into this round and they haven't lost a game yet in round 4 where KD has lost a game of yyb and msn. If DC upsets KD in a ybb and a side and MD gets the sweep again wouldn't they win? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have barely changed all year, Krawk Island is playing without a single YYB win, gotten swept twice, and we're still 3rd in our bracket, it's over and Kreludor won.

Emily Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Supposedly which bracket the teams get sorted into is completely random. Like many others, I fail to see how this accurately gauges a team's skill, if a team is always facing traditionally weaker teams. I really hope TNT changes back to a round-robin system next year. Even one round(each teams plays each other ONCE), and then a day or two of tie breakers (if they were needed) would put the tournament at about the same length as this year's and would more accurately gauge a team's skill.

Azeruth Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Even if it's not based on individual bracket standings and is going overall, KD is probably locked in by now over Darigan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassia Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 The daily rankings this year don't even matter anymore I'm pretty sure...which gets rid of the facing-weaker-teams problem. The overall standings are determined by the number of points each team accumulates over the course of the AC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornstar Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 I was too focused on finishing my neoquests and altador plot that I had been slacking off for this AC! Going to try to make it up over the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassia Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Wait, whoops, my bad...DAILY rankings don't matter, but final placing in each bracket is how the points are given out...whoops...sorry... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azeruth Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 If you say its name three times, it'll appear :P It's some group that's says they're playing for Meridell this AC. That means they must be the mystery group I've heard about, and I've heard some nasty things about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn the Human Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 It is favouring MD to win MIshould've won the 3rd bracket and had a tie-breaker with Kreludor. But MD is still a good team dont get me wrong. This post has been edited by a member of staff (Spritzie) because of a violation of the forum rules. Please don't double post.

ashleagh Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Well, we lost the tie-breaker, so I don't think there was any favouring going on there ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
