How come sock has progressed past the knockout stage when only 4 games have been played in his bracket, of which he played 2 and lost 1, and yet all 6 games in my bracket are done, but neither I nor Mega`Adnan have progressed? I really don't understand cups...
it depends on moderator, if I was moderating this cup, the last game would have been meaningless to play. You were 2-0, beating the only person able to equal your win total. You had the head to head tiebreak, yet needed to still play a meaningless game that wouldn't matter in seeding? I guess this is how cups go these days?
It used to be moderated this way, based on wins and tiebreaks and not total games played, but lately even if players have an extra loss and lost head to head they get proceeded? I don't understand it either, but people can moderate these cups to their liking ultimately.
In some recent cup I was 3-0, beating shtaket head to head, he was 3-1 and got proceeded in first place while I was proceeded in second because I couldn't find my final opponent. If I were to do it all over again, I would have adnan report a freewin over me in the final meaningless game to increase my seed, I guess, since it's all ass backwards.
Something seems broken when giving someone a free win will allow you to increase your overall seed for knockout, or maybe that's just me.
