EVE Alliance Tournament Discussion

Seriously how hard is it to actually apply some common sense before posting an obviously wrong bracket in public?

The current bracket has the top four teams facing each other by their third matches which simply makes a mockery of calling it seeded.

At the very least Camel (seeded no.1) should not face any team seeded higher than 4th before their 4th match (Quarter finals if they win all the way) and should only have to face a team seeded 2nd or third assuming they make the final again or both win all the way and face off in the winners semi final where losing only drops them to play the winner from the losers bracket.

If you really cannot be bothered to work out a proper seeding system please just do a live stream random draw either at the end of each days play to set the next days matches or do it before the first match each day to set the days matches.

All you need for this is winners and losers hat/bin/box/tinfoil hat which teams drop back into depending on results ready for the draw the next day or round etc.

As soon as a team loses two matches they are out simple as that.

This would also introduce something interesting to watch and for the commentators to discuss before and between matches

nvm - mistakes were made and corrected. Thanks CCP Logibro

This is why I should drink more coffee when working late at the office. The correct brackets are now up. Sorry about that.
