TTH Super Tournament 2019

[Baz]

LATEST: VOTE IN THE FINAL! CLICK HERE FOR MORE DETAILS.



I’ve devised a tournament for us.

82 TTHers going head to head (sort of) to see who will be crowned TTH’s Favourite Poster 2019.

Here’s how it will work:

Qualifying Round
Everyone’s in! All 82 participants have been split into four pots, and a seeded draw took place. A list of matchups will be posted. You must copy and paste the list of fixtures and bold whichever person you declare the winner.

Example:

Joe Bloggs vs. Paul Le Shark
Gay Chavara vs. Clarence Gaydorf
Hammer vs. Harold Bishop

Get it?

Votes will be counted up and the winner of each tie will qualify for the group stage. (Exciting!) Any ties will be decided by post count, but hopefully this won’t come into play.

Group Stage
The member who gets the most overall votes in the Qualifying Round will get a bye (!) and will progress straight to the round of 32.
10 groups of 4 will be drawn. These will be drawn systematically using the results from the qualifying round, as follows:
The 41 winners from the qualifying round will be ranked according to how many votes they received.
The 2nd, 12th, 22nd and 32nd person will go into group A.
The 3rd, 13th, 23rd and 33rd person will go into group B.
The 11th, 21st, 31st and 41st person will go into group J.
etc.

The group tables will be posted and you must rank them from 1 to 4 (1=best, 4th=worst)
4 points will be awarded to the 4th place, 3 to the 3rd, 2 to the 2nd, and 1 to the 1st. In the results the LOWER total is better.
The top 3 from each group will progress.
Those who finish 4th in the group will be eliminated except for the best overall 4th placed finisher, who will qualify to the round of 32.

Round of 32
Head to head returns, and follows the exact same format as the qualifying round. From now all on rounds will be decided this way.
The matches for these games will be determined from the Group Stage results.
Group winners will face the 3rd placed finishers.
The runners up to face eachother.
Except for where the best 4th placed finish will face one of the runners up.
The member who received a bye will also face one of the runners up.
Winners will progress to the round of 16.

Round of 16
Head to head continues. Voting the same as before.
There is no longer any real logic to the draws. It’s randomised.
Winners will proceed to the quarter finals.

Quarter finals
Eight members remain, head to head continues.
Winners progress to the semi finals.

Semi finals
The final four! Still head to head. Voting as before.
The winners will progress to the FINAL!

Final
Last two standing, Who will win?
Voting same as ever (I won’t use a poll in case some nerd rigs it, plus polls don’t work on the mobile skin).
Winner will be declared.
Reward: bragging rights, pride, a go on Magic’s ex, a pint with igor and a tweet of the news on the official TTH twitter.

Who will win?

I’m aware there’s a lot of voting early doors but it’s so everyone has a chance to win. If I’ve left anyone out – tough. You’ve either not posted this year, have less than 50 posts or something worse.
