Origin Tetris Tournament [Sept. 2007], [Test Tournament]

What do you mean, like fi we screw up at first?

I think we should get 2 or 3chances each round in that case.

I'd limit chances to 3.

I think we should do double elimination.

Honestly, I'm not even sure the tournament feature works. If it doesn't, I suppose the thing can be done manually, right?

It doesn't work...? Jingy, don't break our hearts.

Manual is easy if it doesn't.

Sing, what is double elimination? I probably know but I'm just a little crazy right now.

I guess we could do it manually, but there's the whole issue of honesty. If there's any way we can officially record our scores, we can do it like that.

Anyway, double elimination means you have to to lose twice to be eliminated. Let me show an example bracket, we'll name 8 competitors each with a respective letter.

A]-
....|[A]-
B]-
.........|[D]-
C]-
....|[D]-
D]-
..............|[D]
E]-
....|[F]-
F]-
.........|[F]-
G]-
....|[G]-
H]-

This would be your standard single-elimination bracket, and in this example, D would win. Now let me illustrate the same case, but with double-elimination. This half of the bracket would stay the same, but the losers of each round go to a new bracket that gives them a chance to win at the end. Under the ----------------- is the losers bracket.

A]-
....|[A]-
B]-
.........|[D]-
C]-
....|[D]-
D]-
..............|[D]
E]-
....|[F]-
F]-
.........|[F]-
G]-
....|[G]-
H]-

-----------------------------------

......[A]-
[B]-......[C]-
.....|[C]-
[C]-
.................|[G]
[E]-
.....|[E]-
[H]-.....|[G]-
......[G]-

So now, you can see that G has won in the losers bracket, and now faces D for the championship. I hope this illustration makes sense, but I can discuss it in more detail if it doesn't. If we do this tough, I can take care of managing the bracket so as to avoid confusion, and I think once we get going, you'd be able to see how it works.

Let me create a tournament then right now, and see what happens.

EDIT: I just created a tournament using me, Singularity, Jinghao and Wrath.

Basically it's:

Me v. Jinghao
Singularity v. Wrath

The tournament is 3 rounds, with a finals, quarters, and a semis. You have 3 games. Best of 3 moves on...

What do you mean? We are waiting for 8. What about Roger, or Icey, what about Garlic? We only need one more, I don't think we need to cut it down yet.

Oh, I started one for fun. This one isn't official.

Oh, like a test? Ok I see.

Yeah, go play!

Does Wrath know about it? I mean I'd want to make sure he'll be ready to go through with the test fairly quickly.

That and I already played two (pathetic) games. I want to see what he sets for me to beat for my third score.

Same for me and Jinghao.

So what about my first question, does Wrath know about this?
