Rocket Knight misses the play off spot, it was in pretty bad form :(. Really gutted but I'm sure I can come up with new ways to make him stronger, other than that, next tourney I'll hope to be a little bit stronger. |

I'm wondering if there might be a rumble needed in the MW class as well, to determine who gets the byes into the semis. As far as I can remember, Depth Charge>Mimete>Harbinger>Depth Charge, and all are 8-3. Harbinger is ranked third on Challonge, but if we ignore the Judges' points scored, then should it not be a three-way tie for first? |

I think Badnik said he'd uses Judges' points as tiebreaker when needed. |

Well why is Scatterbrain not in the playoffs already then he's got like 80 more judges points than the other two ![]() It's Badnik's call, though, as you said. Just something I'd noticed. Edited by NFX, Jun 28 2015, 09:35 AM.

I think Id rather have them than rumbles, but at the very least I think its fine to use them for ranking tiebreakers, like whos 1-2-3, as opposed to who's 6-7-8 Edited by Siphai, Jun 28 2015, 02:52 PM.

You're just a voice pal, you don't know a damn thing about racing!

Yeah my thoughts are the same as Alex's. As long as playoff spots aren't decided by it I think it's fine.

also shouldnt #3 be fighting #6, and #4 vs #5? With the lowest ranked winner fighting #1 and the highest ranked winner fighting#2? |

lol losing a bye week because of something no competitor has any control over? The idea is still weak imo. |

its not like rumbles are a good solution. anyway a more dominant robot will have more KOs and win JDs by larger margin so there is as much 'control' for a player as there is for anything else in this game |

If that were the case, then why are we having a playoff between Scatterbrain, Conqueror and Dead, when Scatterbrain has scored over 80 more Judges' points than the other two? I've spoken to Kody on Skype, he think we should have a rumble, Josh thinks we should have a rumble, I think we should have a rumble. If there's a three-way fight to determine who makes the playoffs, I personally reckon it's only fair we have a three-way fight to determine who gets a bye into the semis. Plus, Depth Charge is ranked #1 at this point, so it's actually in my interest NOT to have a rumble.

... good point and I had not noticed that yet... if JD's are to count as tiebreakers as you said on skype why is there a rumble at all? that's at least inconsistent

idk, like i said I dont really like a rumble as a tiebreaker since its basically a different game entirely than a 1v1. that said, weve always done a rumble for a tiebreaker so we may as well continue. but it does at least make sense to just use Jpoints for non-vital rankings |

THAT bit doesn't make sense to me. Either you use an ordering system or you don't, I don't see any good reason to basically change your ordering system from a certain spot in the ranking onward. Edited by MadBull, Jun 29 2015, 07:23 AM.

Using JD points for something like this just doesn't feel right. In theory it's something that would be bias heavily in favor of spinners since they have a much higher chance at winning fights by KO (which grabs them the full 45 points) than pretty much any other kind of design since JD fights typically won't end up grabbing a bot more than low 30's in points at the very most (and often times even less). Now I know spinners aren't winning every fight via KO and other bots aren't always getting split decisions and whatnot, but like I said, it's not really a balanced situation. Also it's taking the ultimate fate of the bot completely out of the hands of the actual competitors. I mean they can't really influence how many points the writer decides they should end up with. There could be a good solid back and forth fight going, but one manages to flip the other into the OotA zone, or get them high centered late in the fight. So now instead of a 23-22 fight, we have a KO. That's more than a 20 point difference for both the winner and the loser. There's a reason for why points scored/points against is like the 12th tiebreaker for NFL, it's really arbitrary (and those teams even have direct control over how many points they score/give up!). |
