Worlds 07 Single Elimination?

[rokman]

64 Players at worlds in each age division.

So, will it be a big bracket (64, 32, 16, 8, 4, 2, 1)??

Becuase... I think so. :-(

 

[Fireborn]

I highly doubt it. They wouldn't pay for expensive trips to get half of the people only having to play 1 game and then go home again :/

I'm thinking 6 rounds (is it 6?) and then T16

 

[Pidgeotto Trainer]

No. =/

 

[Luxatos]

If they did that, how would they determine who gets what seed? MAYBE they'll have Swiss to determine the seeds, and then have everyone compete single-elimination second day. But I don't see that happening either. Probably Swiss and then top 16.

 

[Poliwag92]

Swiss Friday 7 rounds. Days 2 and 3 No time limit top 64.

 

[KG1337]

They're just gonna do it normally with 6 rounds of swiss on Saturday followed up by T16 on Sunday. It would make no sense so run a whole tourney just to see who gets what seeding.

 

[Flaming_Spinach]

I've done this one before.

64

32 - 32

16 - 32 - 16

8 - 24 - 24 - 8

4 - 16 - 24 - 16 - 4

2 - 10 - 20 - 20 - 10 - 2

1 - 6 - 15 - 20 - 15 - 6 - 1


All 5-1s and 6-0s make it. 9/15 4-2s will make it.

Or, they could do it like the Japanese did it in the last two TMB's in 2001 and 2002.

- pre-constructed decks for swiss rounds.
- modified constructed for the playoffs.

- 8-player pods for the swiss rounds.
- winner of each pod advances to the playoffs.
- remaining 8 spots given out to other players based on records and tiebreakers.
- random playoff pairings.
- single-elim playoffs.

 

[icemelter1001]

ugh! VOTEKICK!

I highly doubt it will be single elim though =/

 

[David's Confused Pokedad]

64 players at a round table picking off each other till only one left standing.

 

[ninetales1234]

Mabye it will be six swiss rounds on one day, then cut top 8 next day, and they play round robin.
Or better yet, just make the whole thing straight swiss. Elimination is nooooooooooooooo fun...:nonono:

Vince: Congratulations, World Champion!

Of course, FS's scenario assumes we have exactly 64 players in every round.

???

I thought the tourneys were each player got the same cards, and each player had to decide what cards to use out of those, and then they played in 4 pod groups... best 1 moved one... (If 2 Were Tied) Prize Card Differential Was Used...

Um,

I think that if they did 64 best 2 out of 3
the pairings would be completely random...

Please no pre-constructed.
9/15 4-2s seems like a lot to get in. 7 rounds and almost only 5-2 or better seems better imo.

Thats it. I quit

Battle Royale!!!

 

[Poliwag92]

Something has to be on friday though.

[Burninating_Torchic]

my guess is swiss with a t8, MAYBE t16 cut.

 

[ryanvergel]

With so few people, they can maybe make it more legitimate. Perhaps double swiss?
