dV_Vb or xBillehx will win that format hands down.

I wouldn't stand a chance.

Strong players will win formats that require them to beat other strong players - leaderboards already exist which don't require that, but that isn't really what this is for. I was under the impression that this was not only about generating more PvP games, but also generating higher stakes games between top-level players - those situations are much better for illustrating the game's mechanical shortcomings and forcibly evolving the metagame than normal games are, which was a significant part of my goal.
That said, what sort of format would you suggest for avoiding that sort of situation? Or would you consider that an 'acceptable loss'?
Well in the leaderboards, I'm at 63/66 (and 1 of the losses was from my dad walking in the room on round 2.. before leaderboards existed.)
It seems in your system, I would very clearly lose to someone like dV_Vb who's won 193/228 games.. even if I never lose a single game in the tournament. o.o;
I mean, I guess it just depends how much it forces the strong players to play each other. I'd like to be able to "knock down" or benefit from other leading players by beating them, and your numbers don't seem to do that.
Wait.. you get 10% of your opponent's points if you win in round 3? This sounds more reasonable now.
cool
