GBAtemp's 10th Birthday Mario Kart 7 Tournament!

[Forstride]

Holy shit. 200? Damn, that's a hell of a lot. Looking forward to the tourney!

On the first page it says "your group assignments will be posted on Thursday 18th October" I assume that this means we will find
out who we will be racing against. Will the groups themselves be posted on this thread later today or will they be displayed elsewhere?

200 Players.
25 Groups.
2 Players go to the next round, that means..... 50 players.
And that means we have 2 players that don't have a group.
6x8=48
Does that mean 2 players are gonna go directly to Round 3?

Here's an idea:

Split the 25 people that came 3rd into 5 groups (HCF of 25).
The winners of each group get placed into a race with the 2 'remainders' to form a group of 7.

Or:
Simply split the 50 winners into 10 groups of 5 players.

You could make 23 of the groups have 2 people pass through, and 2 of the groups only have 1 person pass through, leading to 48, 6 groups of 8, then top 3 of those, 3 groups of 18, then 2 groups where top 3 goes to finals and 1 group where top 2 goes to finals, for the last top 8. That would make it 4 rounds total. Qualifying, quarter, semi, and finals. Just an option, there may be better ways of going about this that are a little more fair on the groups.

Simply split the 50 winners into 10 groups of 5 players.

Don't do this, 5 player groups will unbalance the item distribution among places.

 

[someonewhodied]

hmmm.

We could just enter 56 byes and have the tourney work out fluidly in 2/8 people passing through each round.

 

[LJMarv1]

You could make 23 of the groups have 2 people pass through, and 2 of the groups only have 1 person pass through, leading to 48, 6 groups of 8

That would be pretty unfair for those 2 groups, everyone should have the same chance.

 

[Kryzz]

10 groups of 5 sounds good to me. Also just to clarify it's definitely only going to be 1 GP per round? That doesn't sound like a lot, I think 2 or 3 GPs would better show the skill of the player

I have to agree. Almost everyone could win a GP with a bit luck, but a tournament with those prizes should be more skillbased.

 

[Rillomaru]

Can't wait for the assignments!

 

[CyberTails]

Can't wait for the assignments!

Neither can I

 

[linuxunil]

So, where is the list of groups?

 

[Janthran]

Didn't know we were supposed to add our timezone.
I'm in PST.
and again my Mii name is Jan.

 

[someonewhodied]

oh right. My time zone is pacific time.

 

[nixshadow]

Forgot my Time Zone as well:
PST, Small chance I can't play till the afternoon on Saturday, but don't plan according to me alone

I have a feeling i'll be grouped with the above two.

 

[Spiritofpower]

Assuming I need to post my time zone, it's CDT. Or, in case my information is wrong somewhere, it is 8:15-ish PM here.

 

[techfreak101]

I am so pumped! Lets do this!

The OP has been updated with the group Assignments. The race times will be set most likely tomorrow, in stone. The individual threads for each group has yet still been yet to be created, so stay tuned. Within that thread I will assign a community creator (the guy who has to create the community) For that community creator I will lay out very specific instructions for creating that community. If you fail to abide by these instructions, A new community creator will be assigned, the GP will be re-run, after you (the original community creator) are disqualified from the tourney. These threads are to organize and discuss the race, and to post the picture results of the race. You will have one hour to race the GP and post the results.

Everyone within a set will be racing at the same time. Meaning that there will be TWO race times total.

If anyone has any questions feel free to PM me.
