With the Inaugural One-on-One Dueling Bracket Tournament underway who would like to see this become a regularly scheduled event and how often (your choices are 1, 2, 3 or 4 times per year).

but might have to be bigger as I am sure more people would want in
:salute Jimmy

2 because the planner would be under alot of pressure. otherwise 4.
-
I will take whatever you're willing to give. Just practicing for this event has been a blast :aok
-
I would say 2 or 3, but I would really like to see the format changed to something like a round robin in pools then elimination rounds. My reasoning is that a format that guarantees more then 1 bout will be more fun for the guys like me who aren't likely to ever make it past round one in the current single elimination format.
I realize that a format like I suggest would be far more complicated, which is why I think twice a year would be good... Three times a year would be great.

Weekly :)

top 16 for each round qualify for an end of year slugfest (TOC)
only issue: once you make the top 16 your out to make room for others

4 Would be great. I appreciate you even considering doing this 4 times a year. <S>

Looking at the amount of interest, It would be nice to have a built in match making system HiTech. :D

3 or 4 .........
also would like the matches extended to best 3 out of 5 instead of current best 2 out of 3........
all dueling ladders I recall had a 5 match set.......... YMMV
-
I think best out of 3 narrows the gap between the players' abilities. Like Superpole in World Superbike. Keeps the pressure on, makes the fights that much more valued by scarcity, and keeps more people stoked by thinking they coulda won instead of being beaten beyond doubt.
YMMW :P

If there's going to be a TOC, I think you'll have to determine participants by a "points" system. Something like 1 point for Round #1 win, 2 points for Round #2 win, etc.
Just allowing the top 16 for each tournament invites could lead to problems with a TOC bracket (maybe there'd be 17 people, etc.) With a points system, you can invite the top 4, 8, 16, whatever scorers to the TOC. If there are people tied for the last slot, have a mini-competition of some sort to determine who gets the last slot.
-
Maybe best of 5 instead of 3 would be better for this setup?
-
As many times as possible. This is a blast! :x :rock :salute
-
Considering my own quick demise :D any interest from the first round losers in something like this?
It could be implemented for this tourney, wait for the next or not be implemented at all. I played with double elimination brackets for future tourneys but they add a week or two to the proceedings and I'd rather not do that. This is a comprimise to help people get a couple more fights in and is relatively easy to implement.

I think 2 is realistic.
Do it too often and it loses its "sparkle."
Twice a year is just about right to make it an event that people look forward to.

Roll it BE I wanna play some more
-
loser tourny good...
but I will probly be loserloser..but wtf its fun
Bring it on
<S>

I think double elimination would a great addition to this setup. What happens when you get Batfink and moot in a first round pairing? Obviously they are both great pilots and likely to go a few rounds. A lot of tourneys are going to double elimination.....more work but more accurate results.
