I can tell you that I won't run multiple rounds simultaneously again in the future. It's too difficult and confusing on my end when dealing with the bracket, looking for unfought duels, scanning so I can update winners, etc. Fortunately, that's about to end as all the competitors catch up and get ready to duel to see who makes the quater-finals. In fact, we wouldn't have multiple rounds going this week if not for this next situation:
There were two duels which didn't happen this week. They were:
Deviant
Hurricane Mk I
Manurin
Rud3boi
N1K2-J
SkyRock
All four players posted at some point during the week in this thread. By rule, a random draw should be held to determin who advances in each of these brackets. Instead I am going to allow a 48 hour extension on each of these match-ups before drawing a name at random. You have until midnight Tuesday, October 20 to get these duels in. As soon as these duels are completed or a name is drawn at random I will post the plane for the next match-up which will need to be completed by midnight Sunday, October 25. This means that
Tongs and
Qrsu will have short weeks to arrange their duels. Let's try to keep on schedule in the future.
Related to this, I've seen a rash of posts being made on Sunday's over the past two weeks to try to arrange duels. I'm sure people want to get their post in so they can avoid a random draw and advance. If your not trying to arrange your duel before Sunday afternoon it's probably not going to happen. This has me considering a change to the rules, either modifying or eliminating the "advance by posting" section. There's no change as of now. We'll see how this week goes.
In roster news, Rud3boi is hgtonyvi on the BBs.
This weeks byes go to:
4Fox
akELFY
B4Buster
boomerlu
RufLeak
Sunbatt
And the new bracket looks like this:
