I don't think taking pictures of YOURSELF is really the point of going around the world.

But what the ******** do I know, I don't look at your facebook. xp

What I want to know is if the three people who got byes have to fight for their chance to be in the second round.

And while on that topic, when does the second round start?

No, I just mean I dont want to simply go ahead and start giving people a thread to vote in like the last one because...

1. It'll be a breeding ground for arguments

and

2. I'd have to discuss it with all the judges first.


But if I were to make a vote on it, it'd be this. We would either...

A. Leave the grades for round 1 as is and then change it for next round, or.

B. Go through all of the scores and re-evaluate the matches by majority, such so that the scores allow us to break ties.

For example, if Judge A thinks one guy should have won, judge B thinks the other guy should have won, and judge C thinks they tied, you take their scores and add up the total.

I think that's a fair way of doing it, but since people will obviously vote for whichever will make them win anyway, I think this is something I'm going to consult with the other judges about.

I'm ON MY WAY TO THE JAILHOUSE NOW.

---

For the vote thing, yeah, obviously I'm going to vote for the option that gives me a majority win because... 2/3 Judges said I won. Again, I need to stress the fact that Iden was a great combatant and that I'd wholly understand if he won, because he really kept me on my toes the entire time... but if that was the case, I'd expect the 2/3 majority vote in his advantage, and I'd still want to know what the ******** was going on with that messed up grade.

In a three-judge system though, if A and B disagree, C isn't doing his job if he/she says they tied. That's the whole point of an odd number of judges, so that there will be a tie-breaker.

The Darth Vizzle
Point averages are great and all, but they should be purely secondary to the judge majority.

We added a rule to HoH I think 2, maybe 3 years ago that included majority rule on things so that one person grading differently couldn't overturn a decision made by the other two judges.

That said, 19 times out of 20 all 3 judges will agree on who wins and who loses, so the rule is just there in case one person doesn't "get it" where the other two did. Or if there's some other factor at play.



However, points are a good thing. It just shouldn't be allowed that the average is the end-all decision, because the average can be skewed in several ways. Categories and scores exist so that people can have their performance broken down into "you did well here, you didn't do so well here" and numerically (read: hopefully objectively) determine who performed better rather than just using 'it looked like he was winning'.



Hell of a day. *Goes back to being busy.*

Yes, yes I did.

@Vodka: ********, Vintrict and Riot must know each other personally.

They collaborate with each other to make intricate lies.
Why don't you tell him how your epic battle went and what measures you took to rise to victory!!!!

To be completely honest, after having the muscle/nerve injury, I probably can't come anywhere close to that anymore, either.

Ahaha. I'm just teasing you, man. I can probably only bench something in the range of 100-140lbs.

I'm 5'11", I ride bears. ( Canadian )

I can do chinups though, which is cool because many of my friends can't. They can bench a lot or something because of their bulk and the fact that they have good arm strength ( or whatever ) but they either don't have the power or are too heavy to lift themselves.

I weigh like 150lbs soaking wet, so I pretty much fly through everything.
