My qualifier was pointless. In my group was me (mid plat) and a guy so noob he wouldn't even be able to place in bronze, I was telling him what to do as I was roflstomping him he was so bad.
So I basically got an automatic pass to gold and the admin realised how shit he was and decided to put my fellow clan mate who is bette than me in silver.
Stupid no shows made haymarket qualifier pointless
kinda sucks there were alot of no shows from what ive heard both burwood and Chinatown's turnouts were fine ( i havent heard much from chatswood) cannot fathom why people would pay to enter an event and then not show up
in all fairness myth, you would have stomped through to first place in any of the other groups without dippa in it, most likely (I guess possibly not deL's group, but there'd be very few you wouldn't top)...
It made for some good games in our group, but it's a little silly when you have dj going through to the gold finals, and if our group was done 'properly' you'd be in the silver finals, and I'd have missed out.

Haha thanks. I'll take it as a compliment!
I think Del is right though very mixed overall but it couldn't be helped given that they were some no-shows. Disappointing really, if you commit turn up, otherwise tell them and they can have freee spots.
I don't like the idea of people switching divisions, it kinda makes the qualifiers pointless.
That would be true if the original format was adhered to but seeing there were a lot of no-shows at some of the locations you have to make do with what you have. In this case where some groups are a lot stronger than others you're going to want a bit of leniency.
For example at Haymarket some groups were full and some only had 2 players just because of the number of no-shows, which can't be helped. People in a group of 2 automatically qualify where they might not have otherwise so if they feel they can't compete and someone else would better serve their position I think it's a fair enough call to make a switch (just think, the switch could have happened in the group stage for the same effect).

Wow so many posts. I agree with TA Dippa (see above).
I would like to Thank CItyhunter, and in particular, Chris and Michael (assistant at Haymarket), from what i saw it was a well organised qualifier. I did have a hickup in the beginning my name wasn't on the list but that was fixed within 5 minutes. So in the scheme of things it went smoothly.
In terms spliting groups, i think my group was pretty even, we had 2 masters (TADippa, and myself), 1 Diamond (erasmus) and a not so good player (don't want to use the n word its abit harsh lol).
I was looking forward to being placed in silver but no they made me gold LOL. I'm gonna get stomped on next week.
You could seed me out of gold and into silver
I'm not really keen on driving up to get hammered in gold.
Ill talk about it with the team, our major concern is if we let 1 person, then it makes it harder to tell others no, if a spot opens up in the 2nd Div it could be a possibility

Well I think I have a good reason to. I got a free pass into gold because my only opponent had played for 2 weeks only.
I'm sure you could tell others no because they had a fair qualifier where I didn't get the oppurtunity. I was actually expecting to not make any finals when I came up.

That might be the intention, however its easier to sort out the first bracket due to there being few high GM's, whereas sorting through various Diamond ranks for the Silver division will take more time

No more than talking all day on sc2sea chat as Chris does ;D
