NEC brackets

So I'm not blowing up the 2 players I'm going to mention at all. This is strictly towards the to's running mk at nec

So mk was scheduled to start at 3, but since there were problems with the brackets it didn't start until about 5.i stood in the venue for 13 hours before I played my first match. While brackets were running most of the setups were being used for fucking casuals and not to run more matches. Then pimpluigi shows up with a story of why he was late. Whatever the case was he had gotten dq'd and they still let him play in a bracket. Riu48 shows up at literally 10:30pm. He was not pre reg and he knew he was late and came for casuals But was still was put into the last bracket. Them both playing effected the way brackets were played and outcomes. Riu48 beat and lost to top players and top 8 wouldn't of been the same. So your fucking telling me that at winter brawl I can show up 8 hours late and still be put in a bracket. I thought there was a start time and date for a god Damn reason. With all do respect to kombat network that shit is ridiculous. They effected the way the tourney results came out. Not to mention players like myself who didn't play a match for 12 hours then he comes as is thrown into a pool. Da fuq. If I come to winter brawl tis shit needs to change. Putting people in brackets when tournament is 70% over is retarded and un fair to everyone.

Everything was fucked up. I just assumed that's how it always is. It was pretty off putting standing there for 6 hours before playing my first match though.

The waiting isn't what bothered me, it's the fact the top 16 wouldn't be the same if they didn't put ppl in the brackets 75% through the tournament. There is a start date and time for a reason

I don't agree with adding people to brackets late into the tournament...I understand these guys are our boys, but that's not something TOs should be doing, period. No offense to the TOs at all, though.

I wasn't there, so I can't really get mad about this or bitch or anything. Just my two cents on the subject.

Delays are inevitable at times but adding late players to the later brackets is something that should not be done. This is a major tournament not a weekly where people can get treatment like that.

I agree the delays aren't the issue its the adding players to brackets 75% through the tournament

Showtime, you and everyone else at the tournament has a right to be pissed about this. TO's can't just be your friend and be nice about things when this kind of money is on the line. I don't just mean prizes either, travel money too. The fact is rules need to be enforced for our community and all of e-sports to be taken seriously. I've been saying this since UFGT7 when Justin Wong paused at the end of his fight vs Michelangelo. Keits runs the tourney and he should have said the round went to Michelangelo, not given him the choice. The problem with the choice is he looks like a dick if he takes the round (which was for the win). The TO needs to be consistent on the rules for everyone and have the balls to be the bad guy.

Same thing here, fact is they weren't put in the brackets the way everyone else was, they were just tossed in late in the game. Not cool.

I just saw this thread

This should be completely disallowed at tourneys

If you're not there when it starts like everyone else then you shouldnt be allowed to play

In a responsible world pre registration ends online and the day before the tourney (or hell even the night like friday) and everything is set to go without hitches on time following day

EVO only does pre registration - this is a grass root major in line with evo rules so why not hold the players to higher standards of excellence

Showtime has a great point

If this were a local sure

but this is a major

Hell, even CoCo, who "sponsors" m2dave from time to time moved him to the losers bracket at the last monthly in tekken tag 2 because he wasn't there on time (Fool). Whether top players or not, no one deserve special treatment in cases like this. I have nothing against riu48, I'm sure he's cool just like the rest of the VSM guys, just being real here.

If someone can be added to the bracket late while still maintaining the integrity of the tournament, then that is understandable, but if they can't be seeded properly, and/or if that option is not offered to all players, then I think it's unfair.
