Seems like it'd make more sense for serious and meme to just be separate tourneys, if you're making a distinction, as I doubt even the best meme team beats a serious team any respectable amount of the time.
With 17 people you have an awkward number for bracketing. I'd suggest random/callout/experience based R1 and tiebreaker based further round pairing. For example, you could Tiebreakers be -> MW -> # Pokemans KO'd -> # Pokemans Unused -> # Surviving Pokemans -> Remaining % of HPs and play until one player has an undisputed MW.
That way, in R1 you get people playing against whoever, but in round two say wogurts crushes RC's meme team with only one Pokeman, RC doesn't end up paired with the winner of the super close battle between the worst and pine where they bitterly fought for supremacy in a pitched back and forth battle. It should correct towards balanced matches more and more as the tourney goes on.Last edited by Jingle on Wed Jun 19, 2019 5:15 am, edited 1 time in total.This is a Parachute.- Jingle

I disagree? Like, I doubt it'll come up often (If at all) but if a person manages to wipe a team with 1 pokemon, presumably they've got a scary team.
Similarly, if a person never manages to KO a pokemon, they should be better matched against others who only KO'd 1 or 2, as opposed to the guy who had someone on their last HP on their last pokemon.
Most of the time, the breakers aren't going to change much and the event is decided solely by W/L, but it should hopefully mean more exciting/fair/fun games for everyone.
If there's better stats that are more representative I have no problem editing that, btw. I just guessed based on what I remember of pokemon.This is a Parachute.- Jingle

Actually, if you were playing competitively it would skew the other way (You'd want to play against weaker teams to get more wins, so you'd want weaker breakers unless you weren't going for top place.)In post 141, RadiantCowbells wrote:Hard oppose that
Running suicide leads doesn't make your team worse and running the few pokemon that can 6-0 a team (who are generally rather win more and not strong picks) doesn't make your team better.
I'm big enough to admit I know very little about what would make decent breakers in competitive pokemans though.
The point of having the other breakers system would have been tiered pairing. The point of this would be if play extended past single undefeated player/ties were possible AND undesirable.animorpherv1 wrote:Just for the record, if we care about tiebreakers, my suggestion:
1st tiebreak: Total number of single-game wins.
2nd tiebreak: Number of the match wins vs. all tied players
3rd tiebreak: Single game vs. every tied opponent. Most games won wins.Start from the top again if necessary.
I very much doubt you guys are going round robin.This is a Parachute.- Jingle

This is exactly as much a problem if you're bracketing people based on meme/nonmeme.In post 176, PJ. wrote:This is a bad idea because what if I think a team is a meme but you think it's not a meme?
Also, wogurts has to win this, he's my champion.This is a Parachute.- Jingle
