I'm not 100 % sure what you mean with "seed". Could you expand a bit on it? Is it like the favorite or so?

You can find me in The KOSs2 (TK2) discord while I'm playing. Feel free to come and say hi! TK2 discord

Seeding determines the tournaments bracket.

I personally wouldnt do it with a public vote though, I think the organizers of this tournament know the strength of the communities well enough.
a public vote will likely result in the community which has the most people registered on this forum getting a bye.

blahh its a great idea, crush kill destroy, we will see who the victor is, im a bit overly confident in st0rm but thats just me, tbh even know im not in this whole renegade tournament its quite exiting that the top leading rival communities are gathering for a, well global renegade showdown, bragging rights are at steak for the winner, i have a feeling that who ever wins will have its plastered all over their forums for some time to come, XD.

this should be a regular event at least once very 6 months

I have to say i think this seeding thing is a terrible idea :/

Just assign all the teams at random

and the host as random too... or even get get a dedicated host - Im more than happy to offer space a tsulutions to host this tournament.

it seems to be a bit coincidental that Mr. mom's team gets the first bye...

Anyway, let the games begin!

Also if the "top ranked" team gets a bye that just defeats the purpose and gives them an easier route to winning lol.

Random is the way to go.

I deleted that post. Goobers is an idiot.

I really don't care where we are in the tournament, as long as we play and get it over with.

Agreed with Wilo. Though I don't even like the idea of a community vote on "seeding". Just assign the brackets at random...

Wow there is a lot of chaos going on in this thread. Ok let me explain a few things since a lot of people don't seem to understand.

1. I posted on every forum to remind them the seedings are open and they can vote. The reason for this is because barely anybody got their rosters in on time and I wanted to make sure we got as many vote as possible in.

2. Anyway we determine match-ups is going to be biased, not fair, or inaccurate. The only way it is not going to be is if I put communities into a hat and then the last community in the hat gets the bye.

3. The #1 seed gets a bye because there is an ODD amount of teams in the tournament.

4. The worse seeded team in every match gets to be server host. I did that so it can kind of level the playing field.

There is another way we can do this.

#1, #2, #3, #4, #5 seeds get a bye.
#8 vs #9
#7 vs #10
#11 vs #6

Here is a visual so you can all see what I mean:

You could say this is a more fair way of doing it.
