RysPicz Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 What about people who already got an invite? Will they still be able to participate? I think it wasn't allowed in previous series of tournaments of that kind, just asking Link to comment
Sleepy Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 When you see Showdown and get excited, then you remember that you don't actually play this game Goldeneyes, RysPicz and Robofiend 3 Link to comment
GoldenSunIsaac Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 I don't think it's fair if someone already won an invitation to play again. like wtf, what if they win again?!? LuisPocho 1 Link to comment
Goldeneyes Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 I'd assume that they just give invites to lower places, like 2nd + 3rd if the 1st place has an invite already, and so on. Link to comment
Gunthug Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 I don't think it's fair if someone already won an invitation to play again. like wtf, what if they win again?!? The thought is by the time the last couple qualifiers come around, the talent pool will be significantly thinned if invite holders can't participate. If you win a qualifier with the best 10 players not allowed to play, did you really deserve that invite? I think the system sort of corrects itself though, since there's not a ton of incentive for invite holders to compete in every qualifier given the small prizes ShadowGary 1 Link to comment

But what if they win again? Do they get a second invite? or do third place and second both get invites and 4th gets a reserve ticket? Link to comment
NikhilR Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 (edited) My issue with invite holders being allowed to play again is that my chances of not playing in the tournament stays the same. Yesterday Bowser, Joey and myself didn't even make it into the first 32. The registration system cancels out the opportunity for good / invite-deserving players to get into the tournament. If you're not going to change the invite holder rule, then bring back the old system where you guarantee the first 10 reserves of the previous tournament a place in the next one.

Rulana Posted January 12, 2016 Author Share Posted January 12, 2016 Due to the popularity of the last tournament series we will not be allowing players who already have an invite to participate in the subsequent qualifiers. This does not include RESERVE invite holders. LuisPocho, Quint, Sashaolin and 7 others 10 Link to comment

Gunthug Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 I wish we could think of a better registration system for official tournaments. Though I guess if there was one, we would have come up with it by now, right? RysPicz 1 Link to comment

BurntZebra Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 what was the interrest to stack the invites? :) Multiple invites wasn't the purpose. The problem was that people who got invites later on in the series didn't have to deal with a lot of the top players who already had invites. Basically what Gunthug said above. Link to comment
