Pokémon TCG: Sword and Shield—Brilliant Stars

Chuck's 5th Place Worlds Report

Nice job, Chuck. Sorry you lost in T8, you had the favored matchups in T4 and on, and 7 worlds in a row would truly be record-shattering. :frown:
 
Oh my God, Gyms never stick against you! You're so GOOD!

You're such a cheatsac! I hate you!

GJ on the T8, vnh.
 
Your 7 Worlds Wins in a row is more ground shattering then Peter Ortiz's 14-3 record at Nationals in Swiss!!!!

OMG I H8 U SOOOO MUCH.
 
Chuck,

I had a similar situation where I was one turn away from winning in swiss but time was called... I know there's a DRASTIC difference between a swiss game and a game where a trip to Hawaii + majore scholarship $ is on the line, but who KNOWS what I could've done had I won this game... something like that could easily be the difference between missing the cut and winning worlds.

Simply put, each player deserves 2-3 turns after time is called... sorta comparable to stoppage time in soccer... it is simply a MUST... games that come down to such technicalities are so stupid and I'm surprised PUI hasn't fixed this inherent flaw by now.

Anyway, excellent job Chuck... excellent deck choice and quite frankly if I could do Worlds again I think I'd make your deck choice... it was fun meeting you in person (for the first time) as well... he's VERY SHARP PEOPLE... AND SINGLE LADIES!

WHISKEY DIIICK!!!
 
gratz sir,we played some fun games and you overcame the t1 pidgeot so i don't see what the problem is there. ;) anyways nice job again sir and u r one the better players out there IMO.

5th place?!

Couldn't everyone in the top 8 call themselves '5th place' as there is no way to determine who got 5th and who was 8th?

Just an FYI:

2005-2006 Tournament Operation Procedures document said:
2.3.5.1.Determining Tiebreakers
Tiebreakers allow a Tournament Organizer to order all of the players by how well they performed in the tournament. For the Swiss rounds, after players are ranked by final match record, tiebreakers are applied as described in Section 2.1.5.1.

The tiebreakers to determine final placement of the players in the Single Elimination portion of the tournament are simply each player’s final Swiss ranking. After each round of Single Elimination, eliminated players are ranked according to their final Swiss ranking, with the highest-seeded player taking the highest rank available for that bracket, followed by the second highest-seeded player, and so on. For example, in a Top 16 playoff, the bottom eight ranks are determined after the first round is completed (9th place through 16th place). If the player who was seeded 1st in the Swiss loses in that first round, he will finish in 9th place, as he is the highest-seeded player eliminated in the Top 16 round.

While not always necessary, a Tournament Organizer may have the players who lose in the Top 4 play off for 3rd and 4th place instead of using tiebreakers to determine the 3rd and 4th place final standings. This information must be communicated to the players before the tournament starts.

If you're not a TO, you can't see this document (though that may change next season). However, this section does outline how a player's final placement is determined in a Swiss + Single Elimination tournament. As Alex was the highest ranked player eliminated in the Top 8, he finished 5th. BigChuck01 is apparently the 5th best player in the world this year...
