TTH Super Tournament 2019

[Pen]

Oi. Do some votes while you're here.

Too much effort on the phone. Would take forever to bold the names.

[Ian]

Do what somebody else did and just delete the losers.

Can the three winners be promoted back into Baz' tournament after the group stage? Lets make this more complex and annoying is what I'm implying.

No what you're saying is you're not taking your impending defeat very well.

[Baz]

Too much effort on the phone. Would take forever to bold the names.

Delete the losers, that's what Waffdon did.

Your votes could be the deciding factor for some!

No what you're saying is you're not taking your impending defeat very well.

A loss to IdiotMouse would affect the best of us, to be fair.

[SvN]

His fragile ego couldn't handle two consecutive batterings, so he's pulling out the stops to derail the plate tournament.

[phonics]

I'm going to find some Qatari businessman to sponsor my own Super Tournament and fix the vote.

[mo]

Not sure how I’ve missed this thread up to now, but it’s given me a good laugh. I’ll try and do my list before 2pm.

[Jimmy Floyd]

More votes won't help you Baz, most of the ties are well known regulars vs the posting equivalent of FC Levadia Tallinn. It's gonna bunch.

[Baz]

More votes won't help you Baz, most of the ties are well known regulars vs the posting equivalent of FC Levadia Tallinn. It's gonna bunch.

You've already voted.

You're right though, could've done with a few more tricky ties, but isn't that the norm for qualifying rounds? The top seeds earned their easy path to the groups.

And good lad, mo.

[phonics]

See that, @Pen?

He clearly fucked up one of the deletions. I think his ballot should be thrown out.

I'm bringing in Voter ID laws and gerrymandering into these.

[Ian]

Don't make me rig the losers' cup to see you on your way to an ignominious first round exit.

[Ian]

I'm joking, of course.

That'll take care of itself.

[SincereTheRebel]

Would a league scurture work where every poster has to face-off with another?

I have to say that I didn’t really enjoy voting as I somewhat agree what Panda said upthread. That said, I’d like to think we’ve moved past really caring about these things too much and that this is all just a bit off fun. Some tricky ties in there. Especially soz Giggles. There aren’t many I’d have picked to win against you.

[phonics]

Disgraceful and I'm real fucking mad about it.

[Baz]

@Guybrush @AyDee @five time

If you see this before 2PM, you should really vote.

Everyone else obviously welcome too.

[Samadini]

Lewis had invited me to that night club he goes to every Friday, but think I'm going to have to stay in to watch the inaugural Webly Shield draw.

[Spikey M]

I didn't realise me and Phonics had beef until this thread. Do I start calling him Moronics going forward? This is fresh terrain for me.

[Disco]

I think just remind him of it at every possible opportunity.

[phonics]

Beef is too far. This is at best a Soy.

[Ian]

Lewis had invited me to that night club he goes to every Friday, but think I'm going to have to stay in to watch the inaugural Webly Shield draw.

Trying to decide how best to do the draw for ultimate glitz and glamour.

[Disco]

Get Graham Kelly in.

[Mellberg]

Head to that night club with a hat and some torn up paper.

[SvN]

We should get this guy to do it

[Spikey M]

Get Smiff to live stream the draw for the next round.

[Baz]

Trying to decide how best to do the draw for ultimate glitz and glamour.

Put your phone on your fireplace and stand in front of it. Occasionally hold a cat up and make sure there are random bits of A4 paper stuck on your walls but never reference them.

Oh and the most important part: forget every single detail about each poster.

EDIT: I miss that Metro skin from SvN's video.

[SvN]

We can buy it if there's enough people that want it, I don't think it's too expensive.

[phonics]

28 bucks.

[Mellberg]

He's underselling himself there.

[Lewis]

Lewis had invited me to that night club he goes to every Friday, but think I'm going to have to stay in to watch the inaugural Webly Shield draw.

It's too wild a night to be every Friday.

[Baz]

The Qualifying Round voting has now CLOSED.

Group stages to follow soon. I’ll be using the same thread for every round so you won’t need to update your bookmarks.

[SvN]

I thought a few of those would be much closer. I'd have John beating Amigo so soundly as an upset, but I suppose Amigo doesn't post much these days.

Well done @Sir Andy Mahowry for earning a bye. He progresses through the group stage and into the Round Of 32.

Group stages for everyone else to follow.

[Ian]

Look at the positives, Phonics, at least he didn't double your score!

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Home field advantage was strong in that one.

Also a bye

[Lewis]

Surely I got the most overall votes because my winning margin was superior.

[Disco]

Look at Pleb almost missing the cut.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Surely I got the most overall votes because my winning margin was superior.

The bitterness

[Dave.]

Great work @Baz. KUTGW.

[Baz]

Group Stage

Here's how to vote:
Copy and paste the full list below.
You need to rank every member in each group from 1 to 4.
1 is the best, 4 is the worst.

The numbers given to each member will then be added to produce a total.
The lower the total, the better. (For example if one person is ranked 1st by everyone, and we have 42 votes again, he will receive 42 points. In this scenario the worst possible score would be 168 (4x42). The totals for this group would be 42, 84, 126, 168.)
At the end of the group stage, the top three from each group, and the best 4th place finisher, will progress to the Round Of 32.

The Round Of 32 will be seeded, as follows:
Group winners will face the 3rd placed finishers.
The runners up will face eachother.
Except for where the best 4th placed finish will face one of the runners up.
Mahow, who received a bye, will also face one of the runners up.

Discussion of the groups, such as hardest and easiest, is encouraged. As are further chimpouts.

So without further deliberation, here are the groups:


Group A
Lewis
Mike
Disco
Spikey M

Group B
Magic
SvN
niko_cee
Pleb

Group C
Boydy
Dark Soldier
ItalAussie
Waffdon

Group D
wullie
Shindig
Mellberg
Davgooner

Group E
Jimmy Floyd
SincereTheRebel
Mazuuurk
Gray Fox

Group F
Yevrah
Foe
Offshore Toon
Danny

Group G
Ian
John Arne
Raoul Duke
Giggles

Group H
Baz
Pepe
Bam
bruhnaldo

Group I
Kikó
dino
John
Pen

Group J
igor_balis
Queenslander
mokbull
randomlegend

[Giggles]

Surely I got the most overall votes because my winning margin was superior.

I was wondering this too. In what world is 41-1 better than 41-0?

[Pleb]

Surely it should of been Mahow versus Lewis for a Bye Playoff?

Group B? Amazing

[Baz]

Surely I got the most overall votes because my winning margin was superior.

Blame @Panda

I was wondering this too. In what world is 41-1 better than 41-0?

They both got 41. Mahow won the league on postcount. I did warn yas.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I was wondering this too. In what world is 41-1 better than 41-0?

We each got 41 WINS and I have the greater post count.

If anything blame Panda for voting only me and someone else rather than a full list.

[Dave.]

Group D proper old school TTH.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

There are some cracking groups in there.
