Finals Brackets
Posted: Tue Apr 04, 2023 2:58 pm
This is more one for curiosity. It's a decision I've had to mull over for other, non-CD tournaments I run. But which kind of finals brackets would work best, in general, in your view? Does it vary from game to game? Would CD be better with random?
From my view, seeded allows people to plot permutations of where there'll end up, which can create some interesting outlooks, and also provides higher seeds with 'easier' draws (in theory), thus rewarding them for their efforts to get high up the table. Random means then that people can't game the system (as I've seen it happen before) and also has the benefit of being potentially madcap
