i'd prefer public unless anyone would prefer private in which case i would prefer private

I like watching the replays a lot, please let it be public

I forgot to submit my team while I still had internet but I should have internet at this place well before the deadline in time to complete my match

Also, before you all start, I want to ask you about a potential change.

Would you prefer the match results to be public or private? In previous tournaments the matches were verified by publicly posting the replay in the thread.

What I want to know is: would you all prefer the replays to be verified privately instead? If done so your team isn't revealed beforehand to other participants, and neither is theirs to yours.

Personally, I would prefer private, as to keep my bad team a secret.

By the way, is this best two out of three, or one and done?

I think we used to let people decide between themselves each time?

Previous tournaments used to be one and done, so I'm planning on keeping it up. Pretty simple and straightforward.

Since we have a Losers bracket there'll be other opportunities for players to comeback. The only official match that can potentially have an instant rematch is the Grand Finals. In this type of tournament the winner of the loser bracket has to beat the winner of the winners bracket twice to win the tournament.

I think we used to let people decide between themselves each time?

I don't think we ever did, lol. That could lead to some awkward situations such as people trying to submit different replays as the match winner, or way too many.

 

[ExLight]

Since the majority of the players that did voice their preference wanted the match replays to be public, please post them them in-thread after finishing them!

I'm having a bit of a hard time updating Challonge on mobile, but some of the next round's matches can be done in advance in the meanwhile!

@thePlinko vs. @Pen
@The Dashing Darknut vs. @Ragnarokio

No rush to complete them yet, but if you don't want to have to wait for the other contestants feel free to do these matches already.

Hey that only means you now have more opportunities to find 10 minutes in your free time to do your match.

 

[Pokémaniac13]

As expected, I lost.
