View Full Version : Grand Slam #3: Random Units - Signups!
BaxVarlet
04-01-2008, 08:14 AM
That is correct! Sign ups for the next great grand slam tournament start today. There is no set date for sign ups to end. As grand slams require a double elimination bracket style tournament, there can only be 64 participants. So everyone has the chance to participate, every entrant will be loosely ranked according to their skill. The lowest ranked members will play preliminary games until we have just 64 people. I will then make brackets according to people's skill, and the tournament will begin!
Edit: Brackets won't be randomized, and this is obviously TAL Approved.

WaCk-HeAd
04-02-2008, 10:57 AM
Hahahaha
Somehow I have a feeling Mithrandir might have had something to do with that, seeing as he is too busy right now for playing such a tournament and wouldn't mind taking the victory in the Grey Grand Slam.
Rightfully so because it wouldn't be a Grand Slam without him.
Right, this should be fun.

How are you going to seed a "Random Units" tournament?
Mithrandir
04-03-2008, 12:13 PM
I advised Bax to use the results from the previous random units tournaments, and other than that to fill in the gaps with the freestyle roster. This is a fairly new style, so that's probably about the best we can do.
WaCk-HeAd
04-03-2008, 12:24 PM
I suck for not participating in the GS1.
All your fault, Mith. Where were you persuading me to play? Stupidface.
Mithrandir
04-03-2008, 12:34 PM
Don't worry about it Wack. I'm sure Bax won't put you as a last seed. He'll have freedom to fix things up. It won't be perfect, but I'm sure he'll do a good job.

Magician
04-04-2008, 08:32 AM
You said that in PSST3 too, and look where that got you.
Hoolwath
04-04-2008, 09:35 AM
I never said I will practice... and I did not practice for that game. I even refused to play anyone before playing you. Everyone was like: ":/".
I felt so cool.
I am saying I might actually practice this time and will play you with a normal formation. Not to mention I will have to have a game or four before playing Prof this time too.
Yea. If I get past Prof you are dead. Yea. You hear me?
Wack is gonna get DQed anyway.
Magician
04-04-2008, 09:38 AM
You trained with bludz in PSST - he told me. Nice try.
I like the "if" part. You're confident in beating Prof, eh? ;)
Assuming you pull a lucky win out of your ass, I'll gladly manhandle you in the Finals.
Hoolwath
04-04-2008, 09:47 AM
If Blud told you that he is a big fat phoney.
I played literally no one until before the game when I showed my form to Blud who again said: ":/ Are you sure?" and forgot to point out that the form sucks because of the stupid knight.
The game against you was the only turtle game in that week, I practiced with no clan mates. I am not lying.
And yea. My last game against Prof was a faux pas. I did not notice he is not using your form, then I forgot I did not get the first turn and sacrificed my muddy for... nothing... so I just killed his cleric and surrendered. I definitely need to play a game before playing him if not, I will simply beat you twice in a row.
Anyway, you have never seen my prime before, Mag. It was before you came to GL. When me and Noda ruled turtlers in GL. When DL was number one and never beat me out of those countless times.
Grey is still my best. I suck at turtle.
Magician
04-04-2008, 09:49 AM
I have played you in your prime. We went 2-1 to me. Kthxbye.

Hoolwath
04-04-2008, 11:12 AM
I have played you in your prime. We went 2-1 to me. Kthxbye.
No... Not really... I remember it clearly. Back when I used AOL and not played the game anymore, I got bugged by an IM, I do not know from whom, saying that you are good. I was like Gosh! I need to show this new kid around these parts his place! And I lost. I considered starting playing more for a while to beat you up, but I was through one of my internet hatred phases.
EDIT: I do remember the two losses, but I do not remember my win.
Magician
04-04-2008, 12:46 PM
You kicked my ass by 9 in the win. Tis why I was nervous to play you in PSST3.
Amusing you remember the losses but not the win. Usually it's the other way around. :)
Ach well, looking forward to playing you again, regardless if it's in a tournament or not.

Im kinda curious as to how people are gonna seed. It seems very subjective for this "style." The only thing we can base the seeds off of are those one day random unit tourney things we had. Hopefully we can have at least one more big one before the seedings go in.

Pffft now I see why you were busy earlier :p
Yeah I'm anxious to see how this is seeded as well.... I see some of the innovative players like AU being high up there, and then probably just really good freestylers and all around players like stiv and prof being pretty high as well...
Nitanius Nolund
04-14-2008, 09:28 PM
The other Random Units tournaments will impact the seedings as well. At least I hope so. I did decent in those.
Yeah I'll just be happy if I'm seeded high enough to keep from having to play prelim games. But at this rate we'll be lucky to even get 64.

I honestly think I should be seeded really low in this tournament. I did horrible in the other 2 random units tournaments.
Nitanius Nolund
04-15-2008, 03:47 PM
I don't know, maybe it's just an ego stroke, but I think I should be seeded fairly decently in this. I'm thinking around 20-25, like I was for GS2. But really, I'm better in this kind of stuff than I am in other styles. I'm not quite as crafty as AU, but I'm pretty good at making forms on the fly.

Sigh, this is majorly lame.
Fortunately, I got two offers by PM from very capable people, either one could run this and do a fine job I'm sure. As one of them is on the signups list, I'm going to ask Greed (who is not on the signups list) to take over until Bax comes back.
Please do the following three things.
1. Send me your e-mail address via PM, so I can e-mail you the excel documents.
2. Go through the thread to make sure no one else was forgotten, like allstar was.
3. Make the seeds.
The way you ought to do this is to look up the results from the one day random units tournaments. The winners should be seeded one and two. From there, use a combination of the GS1 seeds and the runners up etc from the one day tournaments. Feel free to use your common sense a bit to try to make it good. Once you have the seeds ready, PM it to me and I'll take a look. Once I approve it (which may or may not include making some changes), I'll send it back to you and give you the green light to get it started.
Once Bax returns, he will be eligible to take over again (though unless he returns in a day or two, he won't be able to change the seeds).
Thanks Greed. Apologies to everyone for the wait.

nice. Lets start this party.
Greed
04-24-2008, 12:26 PM
I assume I can cross BaxVarlet off of the list due to his inactivity, so if that is the case, we have a nice even number of 64 players! I've written down all of the players and will be comparing the rankings of the Random Units Tournaments and Grand Slam #1 (along with a few other variables) this afternoon to get the seatings. Hopefully, I can send in a rough draft of the seeds to Mithrandir for approval and adjustments by this Saturday, and have the actual thread up on Sunday. Good luck to everyone and thanks for the opportunity. Be active and I guarantee I can get this tourney to run along smoothly!
Awesome, I can't wait. :)

I'll sign up if it's not too late, I like the possibility of being seeded high :p.
If not, no worries.
Mithrandir
04-25-2008, 12:34 AM
I really must insist that Bax is put back on the list, and that Sol is added as well. Bax very well may return, and may want to take his tournament back, and he may also still want to compete. And Solingro clearly must be in this as well.

What about allstar? He hasn't been included in that list either.

This isn't really a style that's played too much, although it's considered a style deto. Seedings will go according to people's skill at gameplay, and seeing as how good they are in all 3-styles. I think Greed will also take in consideration stuff such as how people have done in this Random Units tourneys (such as Mags!).
Magician
04-26-2008, 09:03 AM
I'd assume Greed would seed those players at the top of the seedings. :p

So I guess DFP and I will be seeded high seeing as we've been the last 2 winners from Random Units tourneys? Cool! :D
Greed
04-26-2008, 12:49 PM
Alright, I've sent in my preliminary seeds. Once Mithrandir is done making any needed adjustments, I'll be able to post the official thread with the brackets (hopefully, tomorrow). If anyone is interested, there are 65 players participating in the tournament. Looks like we're on schedule so far.

Too late, sorry.
Lieutenant
04-27-2008, 09:53 AM
Eh Greed, some questions.
1) Do you have people doing seedings already?
2) If yes, are they finished?
3) Do you have a date in mind for when you'll start this tournament?
Nitanius Nolund
04-27-2008, 09:55 AM
Lieu, do you even bother reading through a thread before posting?
Or at the very least the last few pages. :p
Nitanius Nolund
04-27-2008, 10:37 AM

It was on the last page.
And Lieu even responded to Greed's post with the time frame xD

Mithrandir
04-27-2008, 11:46 AM
Until Bax returns, yes. Seedings are finished. As always, don't expect perfection, but they are good. Greed should start this quite soon. Apologies for the late start, I still have no idea what happened to Bax.

Yes, there are 65 people signed up. There will be two people facing for prelims only. :p

Very unexpected seeding :D
It was actually a pretty complicated process because I had to first consider who did well in the Random Units Tournaments, then regular freestyle, followed by total points, and the last players were basically a wish-wash of reputation and skill.
Nitanius Nolund
04-27-2008, 09:43 PM
Just out of curiosity, how are units going to be posted? Get a few rounds ahead or are we going strict deadline and no going ahead of the group?
Lieutenant
04-27-2008, 09:44 PM
Gs1: 1
Gs2: 7
Gs3: 14
Gs4: 21 :p
LOL, that's a funny pattern, I'm sure you're better than #14 though. :p
Magician
04-27-2008, 10:19 PM
Awesome.
Can't wait for this to start.
Prof? pretty much HAS to be seeded 21 for GS4 now. :p

I kinda hope its strict deadline, so no one gets an unfair advantage... =/
Lieutenant
04-27-2008, 10:25 PM

Yeah, otherwise it will be very hard to control each round. I must imagine there will be due dates for when Round 2 starts, and stuff like that, right?
Hatchet Warrior

11. Hatchet Warrior
This is a little higher than I actually thought I would be seeded. At least i'll have a good showing in this one since I probably won't get inactive members and be DQ'ed -_-

What's wrong with playing the person who beat you?
Isn't that the one person who's ass you want to kick the most at that time?
Hoolwath
04-28-2008, 10:18 AM
For elite players like me and you, Wack, yes. Because the person who beat you just got lucky and had a serious formation advantage.
For players who are not that elite and just want to get as far as they can, hoping that player gets unlucky against someone else, no.
Nitanius Nolund

Lieutenant
04-28-2008, 12:10 PM
Well, technically yes. But it doesn't apply with everyone. Go to GS1 and GS2 and you'll see that it wasn't like that in all the matches.
DarkfirePhoenix
