3 ways are out, They are majorly unfair on any bots that have to compete in a 3 way fight compared to a one-on-one, as well as complicating results. If people want to run 3 ways for grudge and exhibition matches fine, but the elimination tree must be consistently fair.
I dont mind the seeding of state vs state in the first round if the number of bots is roughly equal. I would say put the entrants into "state pools", then draw state vs state until the pools are empty, so the last drawn may have to fight a bot from their own state if the numbers dont match.
I see that randomising between rounds reduces the potential number of byes, and keeps a bit of anticipation in "Who will I draw next ?", but I dont like changing the way the competition is run between events without majority agreement.
Dont most elimination tournaments (in any sport, racing, football, etc ?) run a pre-determined tree ? _________________ Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people
