HDR Online Remixed Tournaments []

Sorry I had to get off about an hour and a half ago and the TV is occupied. I’d feel bad if you got up for nothing :sad:.

I just figured that since this is Xbox only that I’d post it in the HDR Xbox 360 section instead of the HDR General Strategy section, where both 360 and PS3 coincide. I also take the general strategy title quite literally, so I try not to spam. Although with the kind of topics popping up there, maybe I should throw this one into the mix?

Thanks Sweet Poison. You know your help is always appreciated. If it’s not too much trouble and you happen to be free and online at the time we’re playing some of the final match ups, perhaps you could record a few them?

Haha, at this point it wouldn’t really make a difference since I’d have to default half your matches. Next time though Cvital, I know you’re pretty active and strong competition.

Anyways, the cut off time for the 7 match deadline is passed so I had to throw in some DQs (actually, a lot) for the people who couldn’t meet the quota (sorry).

PLEASE CHECK WHAT MATCHES YOU HAVE LEFT TO PLAY SO YOU DON’T WASTE TIME PLAYING IT JUST TO FIND OUT ITS ALREADY BEEN DEFAULTED.

The DQ Win/Lose thing was based on a combination of who didn’t meet the 7 match quota and the amount of matches played when being selected for comparison. Again, I’m sorry if you were the one on the receiving end of a defaulted DQ but it was needed to keep the train running, so to speak.

Just curious when does the semi finals start? There doesn’t seem like anyone wants to play anymore…I pm them & they just dont respond back…Do you think we should start the semi’s now?

I just realize i have a SF gathering at my place this Friday, im hoping we can that done before hand if its possible.

Semi-Finals are starting on Friday, unfortunately. It’s true that it seems people have slowed down or stopped, so I may be inclined to start the semis a lot earlier than the suggested time.

Who are in the semi-final?

Everyone will be in the “semi-finals”. It will be what determines your ranking placement for this tournament. I will probably start it Friday morning instead of waiting until night time.

So if it started today, who plays who? Still not understanding how placement are determine…

Come on Slater, it’s pretty easy. Whomever had the most wins get the highest seed and the least wins gets the lowest seed. From there it is 1 vs last seed and so forth. Get Kelly off that brain. lol

So there still a chance for the person w/ the least amount of wins to win this?

No, pretty much what Sweet Poison said. The amount of wins dictates your placement on the final range in the ranking ladder of this event. So say for example there were 20 people participating. After playing everybody, your record stands at 14 wins. Let’s say that puts you at the top 8 range, maybe even at number 8 out of 20. Now suppose another person also has 14 wins. You and this other person will have to compete in the “semi-finals” match to take 8th place. Say you play this person and you win, then you will have finished this event at 8th place, putting the other person at 9th. And that will be all, you would be done.

This “semi-finals” thing (notice I keep using quotes) is not really playing semi-finals to advance to grand finals and take top spot. It’s just a method to finalize the standings in case there are ties in scoring (and to prove you deserve the higher pedestal than the other… just kidding).

Anyways, it seems like people have lost the majority of their interest so we’ll finish up a little earlier. I have changed the schedule so that the “semi-finals” matches are started at 2:30PM EST (11:30AM PST) until midnight on Friday (Feb.25). Get all your remaining matches in before 2:00PM EST(11:00AM PST) on Friday. Any leftover incomplete matches are defaulted to disqualification and I’ll post up the “semi-finals” at approximately half an hour after.

Alright, so I’m missing matches from
Biiig OOO, evoanon, paulkachou, Real Decoy, & VOLTECH SRK.

If I see you duders online, I’ll shoot a message. If I don’t happen to send one, please hit me up.

BigO, Decoy, & Kidporet; lets try to get our matches done today…

edit

If i cant play these 3 matches are they consider losses or draws?

Well technically they are draws, but in fairness, they will count as win/lose depending on how active the player was.

K I’ll be on tonight in about 30 mins for anyone who still needs to play me. I’ll also be on tomorrow, but hopefully I can get all these matches done today.

Edit: I’ll be on at 7 PST. Sorry if I made anyone wait for me.

GG’s to rcaido. Went down to the last match and I lost. I’ll have to start doing more of your neutral jump shenanigans an practice reversal SPD’s some more. That empty jump super you landed made me feel so dumb lol.

Don’t forget to advertise the next event on the general HDR boards, even if only in the general discussion thread - many HDR players rarely visit the XBL boards at all.

I support a single-time event over an extended “flexible” one for all next events, things generally run much smoother in those.

By the way, the term “tiebreaker” would probably be more appropriate than “semi-finals” to describe what you guys are currently doing.

I’ll advertise next event in the General HDR board and see if I can get some more players participating. I try to advertise these events through my XBL profile too when I play around on HDR.

No doubt a one-time event will run a lot better than a flexible one. It seems interest dissipates after the initial three days. There were a lot of time conflicts which lead me to think it would be better to extend this specific event over a week. Still, I agree that it would probably be better if I continue doing this as a one day/night sort of thing.

I know, but they’ll be playing with semi-final rules and I thought that using the word “semi-finals” instead of “tiebreaker” would incite more competition when vying for a higher rank. lol

Anyways, “preliminaries” have ended. Had to throw out the DQs to a majority of matches. Time to put an end to this long and arduous week. “Semi-Finals” brackets are posted on the matches page or check the end of this post. DQ Wins/Losses/Draws do not count towards final scoring.

REMEMBER TO PLAY THESE MATCHES AS A FIRST TO 3 GAME WINS
THE OPTION IS THERE IF YOU WANT TO FORFEIT YOUR FINAL GAMES

Biiig OOO vs Kamui99 vs One8Svn
DNGR S PAPERCUT vs Sweet Poison
Champloo0 vs paulkachou vs ThatKidPoret vs VOLTECH SRK

oh man does that mean i get 2nd place? Damn you Decoy & Kidporet! I waited forever for you guys to get online…

I still think this round robin thing was pretty sweet…But i think you should make it a 2 day event like Silverrain did…Everyone plays everyone on day 1 to determine your placing…Day 2 is semi & finals.

Thanks geneijin, had fun & learn some stuff along the way…

Sorry guys I dropped the ball, I was just too busy to play. GG’s to baklakiller You won the battle but I won the war =P
