I'll try to come this time.
I'll attend most likely. If I can find a ride.
So, inspired by Uwik and his Asia Ranking thread, I wanted to provide the first installment of the:

Maryland Metagame Rankings

I decided to go with the Top 15 because we have a lot of "guests" who visit the area and I wanted to be able to include them as well. The points listed below are current as of 2/2/12, but do not include results from The Novem-Brrr Brawl, Holiday Hammer, or Ataque de Año Nuevo.

Maryland Metagame Top 15 (Click to View)


Let me know what you think!

Should we keep the guests in the list or purely limit the list to "locals"?
If we limit to locals, should it just be a Top 10, or should we keep the Top 15?
Purely limit for locals only

Also include:
1.Inactive bladers will not be on the ranking list witch goes too (Otsu)
2.Othellog used to be a local blader....So make a Virginia Ranking list for Angry Face and Othellog
3.If WBO made sub Ranking system or Skill system will change the metagame system

In matter in fact it up to othellog/angry face if he wants to be up the Maryland Metagame system
And isn't Dekailo a NYC blader? Unless shes attending monthly MD tourneys; Otsu is inactive and othellog is in VA o.o. Also, I strictly think the rank should be only for DC/MD besides we have the world ranking provided by WBO...
Well, several of our "local" bladers are from Virginia and don't blade anywhere else but here...

Breaker for example is from Winchester, VA. He should definitely be included!

He Been to almost every tournament in DC/MD so of course he should be on the list!

But we should give Breaker 4-5 tournament chances when ever the chance he can come!

First,No I"m not from VA I'm a Marylander


Also, for my lack of attendance...I have been feeling really ill lately but I am almost 85% sure I can make this one.

Finaly If I cant make this one it will probably be due to my lack of a ride.
Ah, my apologies Breaker!

Hmm... Someone's from Winchester...
I might come if I get good grades at school
no idea who another VA player :l

EDIT: MY PAGE and damn school grades :l
Block Round Robin or Swiss hah
im going to try to come

Joseph317 and I are in!!! Did a little shopping last night and worked on some new combos! Look out BIG BLUE is coming to town!!!

Fantastic! We look forward to seeing you here!
Alright Arupaeo it is your list though but I still dont think Deikailo should be on there, I mean, she got most of her points in NY/NJ tournaments. Still don't agree with it though.

Thanks for modding my post. I tried to delete it afterwards when I realized how big it was. The new WBO rankings got us both fired up!

I asked for everyone's input - and I'm glad that you gave yours! I hadn't made any changes yet because I'm waiting for other people to chime in and say what they think.

But I hear that you'd like to see some changes now, so I would:

- Take out Deikailo, MetalZoroark, and Like A Boss, as being from out of town.
- Reserve the right to add Like A Boss back in if he comes back to DC for the summer like last year
- Keep othellog and Angry Face in the rankings in principle based on their general proximity
- Remove bladers that haven't been to a tournament in 6 months (including Otsu and yujay9)
- Limit the list to the Top 10.

So the list would look like this:

What do people think about that?
