Hi, I am TaC. The guy that did Mortal Monday, various Boon Street episodes, and has basically no major affiliation with any top players aside from STB (but the seeding with them would not be an issue). To expand upon my thread earlier here is a practical and efficient way to do this where everyone is happy.
I don't even care if I do it, if the scene is comfortable with someone else, then very best, but this is a hella efficient way.
1. All tournaments are Pre-Reg only. (This will also solve the time issue)
2. Pre Reg cut off has to be at least 3 days before the tournament (so seeding and brackets can be made)
3.Brackets must be made public BEFORE the tournament, and NOT EDITED FOR ANY PARTICULAR REASON. (If someone cannot make it, their opponent gets a bye).
4. Once the bracket is made public, the person who made the brackets is done. No more interference. Control is given to T.O.'s to update the bracket as the tournament goes so they have complete control at the events.
5. If we do it this way, all results for all majors will be easily trackable and there will be an archive for everyone to look back upon plus public record for seeding.
This is totally possible. I know there are reluctant players and everyone is subject to their opinion, but if you want an efficiently ran bracket + tournament, plus the ability to stop the slow downs during tournament, this would eliminate all of those problems, and keep the brackets fair.
If anyone want to kind of "Try out" this system, I am willing to do it for any local/major in the upcoming future for a test run. We can rate the performance on that, but I can already tell you, if done right, it will be seamless and very streamlined. No W.T.F. moments or coast bias.
