tournament rounds

[shido]

Yeah we started up back what i think 2 months after first quarter chunin we are now building up and receive 6-8 but we have about 14 registered but alot of new people .. popularity is building but again so hard to get away from the crack that is yugioh

Hey shido itgets boring watching everyone playing card games. Mean while as the meijin its biased for me to participate. Though rarely I do. Never the less this is a conversation we can have outside of these forums if u want. Also I will get my own computer soon. I still thank you for ur help.

we have about 12 people play consistently at my locals, and "top cut" was something decided by the mejin and players; we figured that everyone would get a booster for participation, and top 3 would get like an extra booster or two because we would want players to start up a collection and feel like they at least can walk away with something. that all depends on your locals i guess. majority of our players like that system and it works because they get something out of it.

With 8 people and three rounds, there is only one undefeated person at the end of the third round. This is the basis behind all of bandai's number of rounds. Having 4 rounds with 8 people would mean that every person in the tournament had played each other, meaning that guy that went 0-3 would be playing the person who went 3-0 in the fourth round >_>.

then why didnt you guyz go ID split the pot

I know how you feel. The 4th Round does help it, but if you guys dont get more than 8 people then it wont really work.

There should never EVER be a Top anything unless you have at least 25 or more players. Having even a top 4 with only 10 players is both moronic and a waste of time. This is not an opinion, it is a dedicated fact.

Please elaborate.

I think a top 4 is okay for a tournament of 8 or more players. When my home store still had the player base, we would run 3 rounds of swiss then do a top 4. This allowed those who may have lost 1 of the swiss rounds an opportunity to win the whole thing. I know its just a local but making it just that much more competitive made it more fun for me. I had a handful of times when I lost to somebody in the swiss and then beat that same person in the top cut. It happened the other way around a few times too, but that was only fair in my opinion.

Its not wrong if your player base wants it from what I can remember.

I know my players wanted the same, but I made the requirement 8 people for the top 4.

At my locals we have about 6-10 people, play 3 rounds, and the prizing is pretty good for locals. 1st gets a mat of their choice, the coin, and 3 packs.then 2nd gets the leftover mat and 2 packs.third gets a pack. The mats are only because the guy who runs the tourney has like a 100 and it's a better incentive than a coin that I lose within 2 days, every time I win one.
