that is some good work, 'lok...but next time, can you do it in something other than excel, so we can get winners in the center of their pairings?

 

i can do one in Illustrator if someone can host it...

Once Nikos reveals who faces who in the next round, it will make more sense. Right now it looks odd because I have no idea where the seeds will be placed.

It's always going to look odd since the pairings are totally random from round to round, which basically means you're going to have to re-do the whole table every round. foreheadslap.gif

Once the pairings are announced, I just have to move the seeds around. It will be fine, really. yay.gif

very nice job, as always, Dice.............. thumbsup2.gif

 

hey just realized if Scott (FFB) loses the tie-break, the entire winning Team from the team-contest will have been eliminated in the first round......... 893whatthe.gif

 

the former teams are almost akin to conferences, ie., what team will place the most players into the final four?!?! any teams that have everyone through the first round or were totally eliminated??? (we went 3 for 4......)

 

Dice?!? man..... sorry.gif

 

That hurt me more than it did you. sumo.gif

You wish you were so handsome. acclaim.gif

well, if you wanted, i did a bracket in Illustrator and ported it as a GIF. Just in case, doncha know...

 

of course the second round is going to look really screwy, since the matchups will change and so forth, so you'll just eliminate a column and reorder

Well I'm the only one from my team to sign up this time(OsborneFrance, Stout1, and Savagetales are all AWOL at this time). So with my win we're 1-0, so I'm batting 1.000. 893scratchchin-thumb.gif

My former team has one of each:

 

mrwoogieman - advanced to R2

sterlingcomics - did not enter

DKB - lost to Red Hook

Zonker - tied with October Fire

 

Strange that we all relied on DKB the last time around, he really carried the team and now he's gone in the first round.

Ah, the thrill of victory and the agony defeat!!!!

 

Congrats to the victors and nice try and better luck next time to the eliminated.

 

Bring on Round 2!!!!!!!

 

I also saw the precieved color break near Cyclops arm, causing me to drop it to a 9.2. The old saying of trust your gut reaction-which was 9.4. The blunted and roughed up corners took it down a grade for me as well. acclaim.gif
