"The Cogs" Season 2: Week 0 - Brackets

[N-Sunderland]

If you don't enjoy it, you don't need to be involved. There are lots of planned and upcoming independant tournaments which you'll probably like better.

[Squidslinger Gilder]

Where was Ghuu?!!! I'm disappointed!!!

[Strite]

Well done everyone, especially BFS. Last nights matches were awesome and you guys put on a great show.

So I've been reading some inconsistent information about seed positions for the week 0 cogs. Could I get a definitive answer where everyone is seeded?

[Xemkobankavareniya]

BFS - 3a
Raft - 3b
RM - 3c
G - 3d
MM - 3e

[Sammy B. T.]

I am not sure if that is right Xemko, but honestly I am not entirely sure. However, Swallow did say this earlier.

"The first of these round robins will feature the teams from the Week 9 Quarter Finals placed against each other for slots #3a, #3c and #3b.  In the event that one or more of the quarter-finalists are unwilling to participate, an additional team will be added to the Newcomer’s robin."

I interpreted that to mean.
BFS - 3a
MM - 3b
G - 3c
RM - 3d
Raft - 3e

The 3 e spot is functionally the better spot as it is basically in a better position to advance.

I think Sammy is right, of course, Swallow will be the one to say yes/no.

And even he gets it wrong occasionally.

[Xemkobankavareniya]

I made ​​an assumption based on the graphic table.

[N-Sunderland]

Swallow confirmed that The Raft will be playing in Week 1, so we have 3e.

[Sammy B. T.]

Xemko, it was then pointed out that in the cogs, the highest rank is the best but the second highest rank is functionally the worse as it means several weeks of rotating whereas the lowest rank plays a match and has the ability to rapidly climb.

[Surette]

Yeah, imo everything would be much less confusing if 3e was actually 3b, etc. 3b should correspond to the second highest seed, but it's actually the lowest. Everything would continue functioning as it already is, just reverse the lettering. My two cents.
