    We all wish we could choose our battles but thats how the bracket goes. I really wanted to take Swish but they changed it up.

    Maybe you can just battle Carter before the tournament as a warm up if you want to take him that badly. [​IMG]

    Ahh man. I have one problem though. Since I was last ranked, and some people were unranked, shouldn't they be behind me meaning last would face first and second last faces second?

    Well the judges left them unranked for a reason; because they don't know their skill level. So its kind of unfair for someone new in the whole rap game to face the best when they havn't freestyle before. S.Livingston14 actually accepted being ranked behind you so he has to face Karma/Junoon. The other two unranked are facing eachother in the first round in all fairness.

    Can each judge post their individual rankings? I'm curious to see where I stood in each of the different rankings.

    It seems as if the judges based it on the last tournament, I don't think they paid any attention to the little warm ups we had. Or maybe they did, who knows.

    By the way, isn't NTC a judge to. Where are his votes at?

    NTC hadn't seen enough battles/didn't have enough time, so I made him exempt. I didn't want to have uninformed rankings in there.

    The 3,3,3 thing from MrJ doesn't look good, but you have to put it next to mine and AF's rankings. When you average it out, our lower rankings brought us down. Either way, I think our bracket turned out great, so I'm not sure what else we can do.

    I didn't necessarily agree with the rankings either, but there's really nothing left to do. When I created the bracket, it ended up looking a lot better than I thought it would so I just left it. Honestly, this is why I didn't want to release the rankings in the first place. Unless someone sees a problem as serious as the one that GotSkillz had, I don't want to have to adjust the bracket all over again.

    Naw I'm not gonna throw a fit about it..it'll just be that much easier to prove em wrong. Lighting a fire under my ass isn't really the smartest thing to do. [​IMG]
