I sent a PM to TheChaser a few days back, but he hasn't been on since the 18th (at least last time I checked).

Likewise, I've pm'd conflict, and I'm waiting for a response.

Might be worth pming people on smogon. Chaser was on yesterday, and he will most likely be on again today. He may not realise pairings have been made..

Some people might not have checked back yet if they thought the sign-ups would still be open until the 22nd. We might get a little more activity now.

That's also true, and perhaps more still come the weekend.
But yeah, get your matches done when possible please! =D

Why didn't I get a bye just wondering?

The Byes were split 50/50 for RBY2K10 and Smogon/Other, and there wasn't quite enough for all of the top/highest placing players. To balance this though, the stronger players that didn't get Byes (you, Jorgen, Jackal, etc) got paired up with weaker/newer players for Round 1.
No offense to T-Dogg, but you (Chaser) should have no problem getting to Round 2.
Apparently though, Blim having played just a few matches of RBY was almost enough to beat Jackal. ;D

I PMed M Dragon but no response yet. Saw him on a few days before the tournament but not since.

As hipmonlee said, try pming him (or any other smogon regular) on smogon. You're more likely to get a response there.

Post by t3h Icy on Feb 23, 2012 19:36:17 GMT -8
Definitely do some PMing on Smogon if anyone is not getting a response here, but to be fair, the tournament is here and it makes much more sense to make contact here.
But regardless, as long as it's ultimately figured out when to play the matches, it's all good.

lol, don't be so salty, you have one of the easiest sections of the bracket! I mean really, if you beat T-Dogg, you're just as far as they are anyway. You said yourself: I don't like the idea of seedings based on subjective analysis, it should only be done if you had a clear numerical system beforehand. It should just be random in my opinion. (Excluded RBY2K10 regulars) I'll give you a little bit of time to relax before subbing you out because you're a pretty good player and we definitely want to see you in this tournament.

That's the problem of doing it by hand, rather than with random pairings and even random byes.

The bracket's mostly fine. I mean I'm sure it's just a coincidence that Icy's got the easiest section by far. But really the bracket looks pretty good. And I'm not just saying that because I'm set up to get a solid run through Loser's. :-P

No bye just means more asses to kick, the way I sees it.

I would be very appreciative if my luck could continue in this vein for the whole tournament.
Trainer was very good though, you guys were supposed to give me a shitty opponent round 1.
Anyway I won 2-0.

That's the problem of doing it by hand, rather than with random pairings and even random byes. The only parts done by hand were selecting Byes for 2K10 members, and then creating a group of good players without Byes to face another created group of newer players, since there were way more solid players than I anticipated and I didn't want anyone screwed over stupidly. Those two were randomly paired together, everyone else got randomly paired in Round 1, and those that have Byes were pseudo-seeded based on location (ie, each player with a Bye is against someone outside where they're from). lol you're forfeiting over a bye bro? come on thats an ass move. This really, and honestly, Chaser has one of the best spots in the whole bracket. The bracket's mostly fine. I mean I'm sure it's just a coincidence that Icy's got the easiest section by far. But really the bracket looks pretty good. And I'm not just saying that because I'm set up to get a solid run through Loser's. :-P I definitely have one of the easier sections this time, but by no means can I dick around; Majin and Jackal are very solid players. I also have both Posthuman and dbolt nearby, who I have losing records too. I'm still pretty happy about it though. Also you can totally beat Earthworm. So I guess Charlie will be replacing Chaser. Brookman, let him know that he's in the tournament now and is against T-Dogg for his first round.
