Movies, Actors & Directors (MAD) Tournament: TRAG WINS!!

[Mickey]

Very interested to see how tree underscore handles having an uneven number of teams in the second round.

From OP

Voting is head to head matchups for the first round and then we'll have a vote to determine the three best of the first round losers. Then we will reseed to do a bracket of 8 teams.

[Mickey]

You don't expect me to read all that, do you?

[tree_]

No, sorry.. what was I thinking? TL;DR: 3 best losers continue, making a total of 8 teams.

[Mickey]

So how are you re-seeding? Biggest vote margin in the first round?

[tree_]

Haven't decided yet. Probably a good idea.

[Mickey]

By that logic, the ranking would be:

1. Burt Reynolds +12
2. Ello Sailor +10
3. Vinyl Guy +4
4. Trag +2
5. E.H. Ruddock +1

Then 6-8 would be filled out either using smallest first-round deficit (epilogue, MD, tree, bada, Malloy), or by most votes in the second round (in descending order). Guaranteed Trag/Ruddo face-off either way.

[Mickey]

Overall, non head-to-head rankings, for my money:

1. Vinyl Guy
2. Trag
3. epilogue
4. tree_
5. Ello
6. Malloy
7. bada
8. E.H. Ruddock
9. Burt Reynolds
10. Monkey_Driven

VG and Trag could easily be switched, and 5-7 could also be re-ordered.

[Mickey]

Oh and my team would come in 3-4.

1. Burt Reynolds +12

Yeah this looks good. Thanks.

[Ello Sailor]

Let Mickey in only if he can defeat mine, Burt's and Anders' two post-draft lists.

Seeding

1. Burt Reynolds +12
2. Ello Sailor +10
3. Vinyl Guy +4
4. Trag +2
5. E.H. Ruddock +1
6. Monkey_Driven
7. epilogue
8. tree_

Burt vs. tree_
trag vs. ruddo
VG vs. MD
Ello vs. epilogue

[Mickey]

Why would lowest number be seeded highest from the loser's bracket?

[tree_]

Why would lowest number be seeded highest from the loser's bracket?

all the losers each were tied at 9 votes so i did a random number generator to determine the best of these winners

[Mickey]

Yeah but MD with 88 or whatever should be the #8 seed, this whole thing is fucked up.

[tree_]

Yeah but MD with 88 or whatever should be the #8 seed, this whole thing is fucked up.

No, lowest number means better seeding. Burt won by the highest margin, so he plays the lowest seed.

[tree_]

It's how I generated draft order too... so I'm not just winging it!

[tree_]

Your draft order:

1. Burt Reynolds: 1,031
2. Malloy: 26,817
3. tree_: 30,187
4. Vinyl Guy: 62,399
5. Ello Sailor: 69,160
6. bada: 71,186
7. trag: 79,302
8. Monkey_Driven: 83,215

[Mickey]

Yeah and look how THAT turned out.
