Some people enjoy that stuff I guess though so no dramas! "well if A situation happens I think this and if B, C, D or E happens etc."

I'm sure there will be plenty of feedback when the groups are released because then people actually can make sense of it all.

Group selection rules.

$0.02

If its not 1st, 8th, 9th, 16th in group A etc, there really needs to be a damn good reason for it, anything else comes down to bias which will screw over some players

lol, obviously what xgkingbenji said

having group selections on bias is just too silly to even think about it.

or just complete random but seed is better.

not like the 1-16 list is based on skill alone anyway so whats the point

Don't take this the wrong way, but I have no idea who you are ._.

Benji and (teddyoojo) are both correct. The way the brackets are going to be done need to be transparent. Well, more transparent than "The top 16 will be in groups".

Quick Comments

teddyoojo:

does it really matter ~ and it doesnt have to be just transparant, but also logic.

Guys, we formulate the groups based on season points first, seeds second. This is due to the fact points are your total collection of results across 2 events, where seed is just the average between the 2. We've done it this way since 2009. We're not just making things up as we go.

There is some discussion between admins at the moment confirming this and potential review, though everything will be fully transparent, publicly displayed.

The thing is, depending on my group, due to how open bracket is seeded, am I allowed to opt out of groups and play open bracket? If not, why don't I just unregister and rock up on the day? =/

Where as ACL site has Alpha as 16th Seed..

Frustration has more points.. so I guess there is just an error in the 'Pro-Zone' points listing?

I had a conversation with his manager and he will not be attending ACL Brisbane anymore due to personal reasons. Thus we had to replace him with the next available seed being Alpha.
