I'd be more than happy to make a ranking system for tournaments to use as a reference for seeding. I would need to players to help me make it on skype but i think it would be a good way to start off.
Again.. This still doesnt work.

FGs have "variable seeding" because FG events are done via pools. In one pool a player could be seed 1 yet in another pool at the very same event the same player would be a 4 seed. You dont need rankings to know who is a top player and thus should be seeded somewhere in any pool they are placed in be it a #1 or #4 seed.

The issue that you run into is too many top players in 1-3 pools and the other pools end up with very little top players.

We have two of these already -- and I think people will start demanding that future seeding become more objective rather than subjective. Change is afoot and I don't think future TO's will be able to approach things the same way.

How does it not work if you base it off tournament placings? So what is a solution to fix this in your opinion?

better pool balance.
Its easier to do rankings in Organized Leagues because everyone is at every-same level event at the same time. Every team in sports plays the same amount of games before playoffs. In fighting games rankings are more... clouded because if someone goes to 5 majors and wins 1. Does that make them equal to someone whose only been to one major and wins it? Also the pool thing if you simply have 3 top players in one pool. It is guranteed that ONE will absolutely not place. Also "Balanced pools" would that be up to community interpretation or does someone make a judgement on that too? Bracketology is weird.
 
Its not just me, if it were only me then this wouldnt work. Its all of us that have contributed to it realizing just how dumb it was. We are ALL putting an end to it.

Its not just "New Leaf Tom" its "New Leaf Community Figureheads"
Again, all I have to say is we will see. Frankly, I don't ever believe a word you say. Just a day or two ago you said you were done with ALL podcasts, ALL posts on TYM, and that you were only going to browse TYM...and not post anything. Since that statement (one of many lies by the way), you have posted more than I have ever seen you post. I would highly advise that you take some good advice and not say something unless you mean it and follow through with it.

You come here spewing negativity because I and many others have changed our minds on how we handle things and all the petty BS that we do. Yes.. I changed my mind. Posing like I am now and all of us trying to change the culture doesn't count as "one of many lies", it should count as "its about time".

This is not a thread for you to be such a negative nancy.

I like where this is going, but there is no need to stop doing podcasts.
Podcasts help the community grow. some1 has to keeps the low gun down play on check.

Nooo keep podcast they are awesome! But i agree we need to stop blowing up who don't really deserve it. The Rebelo'd ones shouldn't feel pressure at tournaments nor should be blown up if they don't delver, unless they are really talking themselves up.

I feel that if we were to start a ranking system, either we use what information we have from past tournaments or start from a blank slate and use that information to seed players for future majors. Obviously it depends on the kind of ranking system the community would vote on.

Sorry Tom but with all your hypocracy, your words don't mean anything. I agree with TheBoyBlunder's statement until proven otherwise. The only way you can prove everyone wrong and this "New Leaf" thing to be legit is by your ACTIONS. And so all I have to say about this "New Tom" is.....wait and see. But if you truly do mean what you say (and back it up in time) then I respect that.
Sorry, just thought it was funny accusing someone of hypocrisy when you can't spell it.
