                      On the East Coast, Unforgiven (R2, S-195) won the Silver Group and I believe Spartans (R2, S-42) won the Iron. Not sure who won the Gold Group.

                      I'm still hoping beyond hope that the next csgb will have a better prelims matching that will allow the best guilds into the top-end groups and not have top-10 guilds (like Spartans) who get stuck down in Iron because they ran into the #1 and #2 BR guilds due to bad matching.

                            And I'm still thinking you just want a straight path to better rewards via automatic placement in diamond group. Earn your way into the group.

                              I'm thinking you're bitter.

                              As someone who's actually written tourney / matching algorithms for games in the past, I can tell you this one is awful, and if it were the model in any type of sport or real-life competitive event it would be soundly trashed. Again, to reiterate, it'd be like having all top-16 seeds in the Final Four be in the same bracket, rather than spread out into the quadrants. Where would be the fun in watching UConn vs. Eastern Miss St in the NCAA Finals when the only question would be, do they cover the 60-pt spread?

                              Finals are supposed to be the best competition, not the first round. Other than our 1st round loss to Helios, no one put up 5k Pts on us the rest of the Prelims or Silver Group finals. That's just silly.

                              And seeing as you jumped on my CSBG Matching Thread and said this exact same thing, I'll tell you here, the method described there isn't a freebie for anyone. Based on the enrollees in this last CSGB, any of the top-20 guilds would face another top-21 to top-40 guild - unless they were upset. In the case of us (Unforgiven), we'd actually have faced Spartans in the last round of prelims to advance to finals - assuming they'd won to that point. That's not a freebie. Any #2 or even #3 seed, with skill, can upset a #1 seed. You're talking a 20% Guild BR difference, but as far as the top-40 goes, who knows who's better - that's why you play it out.

                              People who are against an intelligent, weighted matching system just want an easier path to the finals than having to actually face a top-20 guild on the way there, much as 7 of the 8 teams in the Diamond group did this time around.
