IFL - 2014 PowerHouse Party Invitational Tournament

Post by Kalamere »

PowerHouse Party!

With the regular season concluded I can now issue invites to the end of season tournament (consider this post your invite). This won't take place until Jan. 22nd (9pm start time) after we're through the playoffs, so it's a good long ways away still. No harm in announcing the names though and allowing people who know they can't make it already to let me know. Please do tell me so I can officially invite the backups. Having put the date up last week, I do know some who can't make it, but there are bound to be others.

Tournament rules:
  • This is a 16 person single elimination tournament.
  • A fighter must have 3+ duels to qualify.
  • Every team will have 1 fighter on the final list no matter how far down the PDPB list I have to go.
  • All other spots to be filled in order of rank on the PDPB list.
  • 1 character per player. In the event two characters would qualify your higher ranked character gets the nod.
  • I don't know everyone's alts, please use the honor system. You don't need to tell me who you play if I list a duplicate, but please bow the lower ranked character out.
    • Please do not out other people's alts here, no matter how well known you might believe the association to be.
  • Ranking in the tournament itself will be first by team placement then by pdpb rank so as to avoid as many team on team fights as possible. Other minor adjustments could be made to further that goal for the first round.
I think that's all the important stuff. Here's the list of invitations:

1.) Skid
2.) Jenny Chae
3.) Matthew Algiers Simon
4.) Hope
5.) Bane
6.) Vincent Smith
7.) Dust Cameron
8.) Darik Warchild
9.) Kheldar Drasinia
10.) Charlie Nine
11.) Jenai Ravenlock
12.) Kruger Allen
13.) Grace Frigg
14.) Salvador Delahada
15.) PJ Ramirez
16.) Random McChanse

These are the backup lists. If, on the night of the tournament, someone doesn't show then slots will be filled using the next in line. These lists are something of a plea for these folks to show up in the event they're needed.

Backups for teams w/ only 1 participant:

* Red, in the event Anubis is unable to represent HYD.
* Rick Spade, in the event Hope is unable to represent DRT.

At large replacements for any others that drop:

1.) Vanion
2.) Juliane Smith
3.) Melanie Rostol
4.) Eva Luna
5.) Rei

As changes are made this post will be updated to reflect my current understanding of things.

Tie Breakers:

I can't believe I've never needed to add this in before, but seeing as we had a tie for the next invite we needed to find a better tie breaker than alphabetical order. The following will be looked at to determine who to place over whom in the event of a PDPB tie.
  • Average Bout Class: If 2 people are tied but one fought IF matches while the other fought Anchor matches, presumably the first person had the harder time getting there. Think of it like strength of schedule.
  • PDPB w/out bout class points: Nearly the opposite of the 1st, this looks to see what 2 fighters would have done in a straight fight.
  • Team Placement: If we're still tied after the first two, then the fighter on the higher ranked team gets it.

This is sure to change as the date draws closer, but this is where the tourney bracket will live. Should be world viewable.

It's awesome Bob placed high enough for the invite, but I'd rather another player get in. I'm withdrawing from the tournament.

Kruger, you're up!

Thanks for the quick notice Bob.

While my original list did have Kruger as next in line, that was based on nothing more than the fact his name starts with a "K" and came before the "M" for Mav. With the introduction of a somewhat more meaningful tie break system, the nod goes to Mav and Kruger remains at the front of the line.

I would be surprised if PJ will be attending tonight, so the next person up on the list might want to be ready.

There are a couple on this list that I don't have high hopes of seeing tonight. I'd encourage the listed stand-ins and, frankly, anyone else that participated in IFL this season to show up tonight if you have the time. Probably a good chance of making it into the tourney.
