CWF powering down not a bad idea!

Having the bigger players fight earlier is good for the other challengers. It allows them to make it further in the tournament and collect more tickets. I really don't care if Fleur and Avalaria got eliminated before the finals, and nothing ever stated that they should get to the finals every CWF.

That being said, there is a reason why you all fought one another before the finals while many 200M-500M players made it far in the tournament. Herby said it: brackets.

And this shows you don't understand what is meant by brackets.

i agree with this and there is a valid point in lower power players making it into the top 8 while other top players get knocked out from the top player. you all where crying about brackets but when you get something similar to it (i dont think it was matched on purpose or anything actually changed) you start crying again that you get knocked out early. thats what you get when you have brackets then at the end the top players of all brackets play against each other. if you dont like that, well then you dont like brackets. you cant have it both ways.

When I face one of the top players on the early knock-out rounds and then some one that is 200 mil power lower than me that I could easily beat makes it into the round of 8, I am potentially missing out on rewards This happened to me on the last 3 CWFs. In one of them a player that I had a fairly good chance of beating made it into the quarter finals. Also, if one of the top players is knocked early, like Fleur did this week, he does not get any rewards.

The way that seeding and bracket assignments are supposed to work is that the on the first round the first seed faces the last seed, the 2nd seed faces the next to the last seed, and so on. The backrests are set up so that the top seeds do not face each other until the later rounds. Look at any bracketing system, and you can find several on the net, and you can see how this is done.

your system would assume that the top 4 power players are set up (into the oposite corners of the trees) to not face each other until the finals and will only play each other if one doesnt get knocked out early. however if you have a bracket system that categorizes players by power then the winners of each category will face each other in the quarter finals. so you are talking about different systems here and can only combine them if someone actually takes out the random factor entire and takes the time to completely set it up by power and brackets.

so you have to make reductions somewhere and if you randomize it so the top players face each other before the finals then so be it. i have faced for example kungfumonk last CW in the preliminaries and in the knock outs won both matches. this time again, won the preliminaries but lost the KO round battle. great matchup even tho he got almost 200m more power than i have. i dont cry about it. when avalaria, bubba, etc gets knocked out by blayd they dont cry about it, but for some reason all the drama starts over fleur... i dont get it. he knows he is not the best, not the second or 3rd best. but he knows he got a small chance at it unless he powers down... thats what this is really about and not about random players, top players or whoever making it or not making it into the finals.
its about crybabies and sore loosers.
