That's what I want to do, but then what do we do with that one unranked guy? We could rank S.Livingston at 14 and have him face Karma, but that might be unfair to a newbie. We'd have to ask him if he's alright with it. <div class="quote_poster">Quoting GotSkillz92:</div><div class="quote_post">Give Karma or Mr.J the bye. And then rank those guys below Umair, 13-16. Just pick their names out of a hat. That would be fair.</div> We have 16 people, so we can't give out byes anymore.
<div class="quote_poster">GotSkillz92 Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">I dont think Someone can battle themselves. You meant Karma right?</div> Yes. The first seed in the playoffs plays the last seed, in this case Umair is the last seed so he should have to battle Karma.
Ok you guys aren't thinking this through or I'm not understanding it: AF's idea: So we have Umair face Karma, Gotskillz face MrJ, Carter face me, etc. Now we have S.Livingston14 as an unranked with no one to battle. And the #7 competitor (Iggy) has no one to battle. If you let them face each other its unfair to competitors ahead of Iggy who have to face harder competitor, when they should be facing easier ones. GotSkillz92's idea: You give a bye to Karma and MrJ, but that still doesn't solve what to do with the extra unranked. ---- This how I see it. We got a couple choices, and inevitably someone's going to get the short end of the stick: 1) We let the unranked face the worst ranked so that it's fair to the newbie. The winner of that battle faces the winner of Karma's battle. Obviously the second last battler gets it unfair here. (this is what I did) 2) We include S.Livingston14 as a ranked competitor, rank him last, and have him face Karma. Then Umair faces MrJ (2 v. 13), GotSkillz92 faces me (3 v. 12), Carter faces Air Fresh (4 v. 11), etc. Obviously the new dude get it unfair here, because he has to face the hardest competitor. The question is which is least unfair?
Last one I think. Like you said someone gets the shortend of the stick and who better to get it than a noob that's never battled here.
S.Livingston14 are you confident enough to go up against the top ranked battler? The reason we let Aznx and CPaul face each other is because they hadn't battled before and weren't sure how good they'd do. If you think you're up for the challenge of Karma, it'd help things out a lot.
Any chance I can see some of his freestyles? Oh and gotskillz I hope you mean a noob to battling on this site and not a noob to the site considering I've been here longer than you.

Let's just leave things the way it is. I wanna face Iggy and the bracket has already been made. I say we go with the current bracket.

I don't really care, I'm confident in my abilities. It doesn't matter to me who I face. Is it one loss and your done?

If you don't care Livingston, I'll adjust the bracket. Everyone alright with that? I personally prefer this way, as long as S.Liv is fine with it.
