Hm, would it not be fairer if it was the person with the lowest vote percentage who had the ability to choose the theme ? If I had the highest vote percentage and chose Dir en grey for the theme, I do not think it would be fair at all ...

Cool. Hm...seeing as this is almost ending, I'll be glad to host one with fellow DeX and Xyo 'cuz I can't really go on during weekdays. Anyway, for the meantime, congrats Noodoo! Now to start cooking up another battle..aha! Get ready to battle BBS, DeX, Xyo, Vintage and etc.

Congrats Noodoosoup, I hope to play you in the finals. We all know what's happening in the blah vs Soul_ battle. So, ya........
You get my drift, but my finals spot is not official till that battle is over.
BP, I'd like to battle sometime, I'll work something out, just not this week. Tongue_out

It would be fairer in that sense, as it would even the playing field so to speak. However, I believe those participants with the higher vote percentage deserve a reward for demonstrating a strong performance throughout the course of the Tournament. In most sporting finals, teams which finish the regular season in the top 4 are given an advantage over the teams which qualify for the finals but place from 5th to 8th.

This system rewards strong performances and encourages persons to create their best work possible


RE: Graphics Tournament: Round 4 Voting/Round 5 Fixtures Released - Kai-V - Aug. 07, 2011

But if a person is that good, then they can still work well even with another person's chosen theme, while the other might not do so good with the "best graphics makers"' favourite theme ...


RE: Graphics Tournament: Round 4 Voting/Round 5 Fixtures Released - Vintage - Aug. 07, 2011

blah and Blitz Unicorno, if you're using the same software, then it's possible. Just complete half, and send it to your partner to do the other half. Pretty sure it's called collaboration.
Oh, and congrats Noodoo on making it to the finals. Smile

While this is a valid point, unfortunately I won't be altering the manner in which the theme is chosen in the finals. I strongly believe that those participants who have displayed strong performances deserve to be rewarded for having such a high win percentage. This method of giving the 'better' participants a slight advantage has been used in sport for many years, it encourages persons to create their best work. I believe your method handicaps persons who win by strong margins whereas we need to be encouraging strong win margins.

I think of it as having a home ground advantage in a sporting final. In sport they don't give home finals to the lower placed finalist, it's an advantage which is earned.


RE: Graphics Tournament: Round 4 Voting/Round 5 Fixtures Released - RAW - Aug. 07, 2011

Again...I will have another late entry as I was too busy celebrating to upload the picture last night -_____-

Sorry.


RE: Graphics Tournament: Round 4 Voting/Round 5 Fixtures Released - Fyuuor - Aug. 07, 2011

That's fine, just remember as of this moment you have incurred a 4 vote penalty. Each subsequent day your entry is late you will receive an additional 2 vote penalty. If I don't receive your Round 5 submission by the 10 th of August by 12AM/0000HRS Australian Eastern Standard Time you will automatically forfeit Round 5.


RE: Graphics Tournament: Round 5 Voting/Finals Announced 12th - 14th - Fyuuor - Aug. 08, 2011

I've updated the OP with the current standings, it really gives you an impression of how important Round 5 is for peoples chances of progressing towards the Finals.


I'm still waiting for a Round 5 entry from:

Hope
RAW

If I don't receive an entry from these participants in 16 hours, they will automatically forfeit Round 5.


RE: Graphics Tournament: Round 5 Voting/Finals Announced 12th - 14th - Greimatter - Aug. 09, 2011

I'll be turning in my entry soon, my laptop's new charger is to arrive tomorrow or the day after.


RE: Graphics Tournament: Round 5 Voting/Finals Announced 12th - 14th - Fyuuor - Aug. 09, 2011

As of this moment Hope has automatically forfeited his Round 5 battle against Greimatter.

Due to participants who consistently send entries late it throws the entire Tournament off. To be honest I'll be glad to have this portion of the Tournament behind us, as those who are a chance of participating in the Finals have always sent there entries in on time.

Just as long as you send me something. It doesn't need to be good as nobody else will see this entry, it's simply so that you have the opportunity to gain 3 victory points and make yourself look better in the standings.


RE: Graphics Tournament: Round 5 Voting/Finals Announced 12th - 14th - Fyuuor - Aug. 13, 2011

I’m going to announce the entire finalist list now, even though there is an active battle between Xyo and Callum6939 which is still open for 1 more day. I’ll explain my reasoning for announcing the finalist 1 day early.

In order for Xyo to progress to the finals he will need to finish his current battle with Callum6939 with a minimum vote percentage of 92.3 %, this number was calculated in accordance with Xyo’s current vote percentage for the Tournament which is 64.44%. If he achieves a win margin of 92.3% he will increase his overall vote average to 71.40%, this will be enough to overturn Omega from his position as his current vote average is 71.35%.

However, realistically this doesn’t seem likely. Calculating from the current amount of votes which Xyo has received from his battle against Callum6939, Xyo will need to gain at least another 110 votes in 1 day without his opponent receiving a single vote. As the battle between Xyo and Callum6939 is already quite close with a current score of 12 to 10 to Entry 1, this makes this scenario seem even more unlikely. Due to the extremely improbable nature of this scenario occurring, I’m going to announce the participants of each Group who will progress to the finals.

*There are currently 2 active battles, 1 each from Group B and D*

Technically, yes. Realistically, no. Unless you get 110+ votes today, you wouldn't.


RE: Graphics Tournament: Round 5 Voting/Semi Finalist Announced! - NoodooSoup - Aug. 13, 2011

Awwww yeah, it's battle time B) Pick your theme, Omega; I'm itching to start Eee

No problem, you can accept mine and othellog's entries. The earliest you'll need to create the battle thread is the 21st of August.

*EDIT* Thanks Temporal for explaining this.

It's still possible for you to get to the Finals, however it's incredibly unlikely. For you to progress to the Finals you’ll need to receive another 110 votes in 1 day, while your opponent cannot receive any more votes for the duration of the match.

Thanks, it should be a good battle Joyful_3

I'll make it that you and Omega have 2 days to choose a theme for your battle, though it would be preferable if you chose it sooner.

I'm cool with that.
I'm starting to think whatever theme I choose I'll just end up losing, lol.
If Fyuuor is Chuck Norris and I'm Brian Griffin,
