mistaken Posted June 13, 2008 Author Share Posted June 13, 2008 so there are 64 + 8 = 72 entrants into this first tournament. each group has 16 + 2 = 18 entrants. 4 recently retired, 4 dead, 4 legends, 6 current supper stars. the current superstars round 1 berths will be contended under triple threat rules. after the first round we will have moved from 72 entrants down to a standard 32. each bracket has been staggered so hopefully we can see a good mix of each group facing off in at the very least round 2, but hopefully through out the competition. for round 1 i will post 1 match up from each group per day, for 8 days, you will have 2 days vote on each pairing. I will update the brackets above as we progress. when we reach the elite 8 i will condense the winners down, and put them into the first post. Here's to a great tournament!

mistaken Posted June 13, 2008 Author Share Posted June 13, 2008 Since i am playing referee, should i be allowed to vote? I know it sounds like a dumb question, but I don't want anyone to think i am trying to influence the results, and since i did set up the brackets would you see it as a conflict of interest if i voted? or should i just voice my opinion in the thread but refrain from actually voting? thanks mistaken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mistaken Posted June 13, 2008 Author Share Posted June 13, 2008 Rick Rules! um, yeah make that 73, we left a huge one off the list. Rick Flair is getting a pass directly to the top 32, and we will slot him in as wild card in a fatal three way of our choosing next round!!! (sorry rick! to be honest I'm not putting him in some where this round, because he belongs in 3 out of the 4 categories! he retired so recently i could put him in retired or active, and he certainly would fit in just fine in the legends pool) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistaken Posted June 13, 2008 Author Share Posted June 13, 2008 If some one has got an idea for how to lay out the brackets on the page once we get to round 2, either throw them up here, or pm me. i want to keep this looking a clean as possible, I'm thinking i may need to throw in HTML tables, but I'm also hoping someone might have an easier or better suggestion.

OK,not buying it? honest answer lack of preparation (about an hour) and more concern over setting up the brackets than double checking the entrants. (that job was farmed out, I won't name names though, I'll take full responsibility :o ) [QUOTE=theoutlaw321;441683]Amoung others? :([/QUOTE] Many Many others. (i have a general lack of knowledge beyond TNA and WWE, lack of knowledge of the 80's and earlier, and deceased. (again i farmed out about half the list) [QUOTE=Crychon;441686]...But Kamala and Tatanka are there, so it's all good![/QUOTE] Hey I stand by both and voted for both, Setting up the brackets has it's perks. beside i needed easy first round eliminations. If those goes off well, and i choose to try this again in the future, I will put up something before hand to 1) help select the entrants for each pool, 2) pre-rate them some how, to create a more accurate match up system. Until then all i can do is apologize, learn from the mistakes I was bound to make, and say i hope you enjoy the game despite it's inherent short comings. -mistaken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mistaken Posted June 15, 2008 Author Share Posted June 15, 2008 Day 1 analysis. A:1 - 16 [COLOR="Blue"]Hulk Hogan[/COLOR] vs Tatanka: [INDENT]the first 1-16 match up was a crushing, Hulk Hogan and Tatanka combined for 55 votes, and Hogan walked way with 49-6 victory. but his next round match up might not be as easy, since it looks like Kurt Angle will be his opponent in the next round.[/INDENT] B:8 - 9 [COLOR="Blue"]Jack Brisco[/COLOR] vs Jerry Brisco [INDENT]The battle of the Briso Brothers came down more to their roles in today's wrestling than their impact as wrestling legends of yesteryear. Jack going on to win it 27-17 for not going to work as a wwe lackey.[/INDENT] C:5 - 12 Kamala vs [COLOR="Blue"]Jerry Lawler[/COLOR] [INDENT] This was the first upset, but really it just shows that the rankings board has a few screws loose, as Kamala should never have been ranked number 5. Jerry Lawler not only one, he made the Ugandan giant look bad in the process, taking the victory by over 45 point, 50 - 3.[/INDENT] D: 4 - 13 [COLOR="Blue"]Bret Hart[/COLOR] vs Scott Hall [INDENT]This was the second closest match up of the day, but that's not saying much as the excellence of execution trounced the Chico, 43-11. But Hart should face a much tougher challenge in the next round, because unless a miracle occurs he will be facing the Perfect one, Curt Henning.[/INDENT] Day 1 is in the books, and we look forward the 8 contests that are still going on, and the 20 still to come in this round. the ranking committee despite it's short comings has had 75% percent of the match ups in it's favor so far. The game goes on, and as always thank you for your participation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
