Topic: SEEDING THE TOURNAMENT NO WAY.

Author: Lav3 Original Message Posted: Apr 30 2009 4:33PM

I don't think it is a good idea to seed this tourney. You have a majority base of non pros bumped into the pro ranks now. What seeding does (I'm sure other pros in Calgary want it this way)is eliminate the chance of having to play another pro ranked team, and forces the weaker team to play the high ranks, which in this tourney is extremely unfair. The newly appointed pro players are almost walking in 1 game down. If this is supposed to be a fun atmosphere and a small tourney let the draws falls where they fall seeding should not be allowed.

I smell a Poll... Seems like every other decision has been made that way. We would need to have an appropriate method of seeding though, which I don't think we have.

Now that I think about it I'd like the tournament seeded by geographical location. I want to play with the least amount of players from my local area as possible. That's what would make the tournament fun for me. I don't think anyone wants to travel all the way to Calgary only to be put out by players that they play in their local scene.

Just my $0.02

I think that we should have 2 pools- if the last # of your address is even u r in pool A- odd pool B.



I would appreciate another poll though- thanks 4 the idea Eric.

BTW

I thought that they added semi pro doubles- I must be mistaken(insert sarcasm here)
