KO-Tournaments

KO-Tournaments - 8 players/16 players - single elimination/double elimination

Layout


This site is for tournaments in KO-system:

the winner moves one step up, the loser is out.

These tournaments are possible for different sizes:

either 4 players, or 8, or 16, or 32 etc.

either single elimination or double elimination.

So far I've only planned to create 8 buttons and 16 buttons tournaments.

(date: May 2016, Kaori undefined)

It's possible to raffle the buttons amongst the players,

or let the players choose from a given set or given amount of buttons,

it might even be allowed to have the same button twice in one tournament.

The newest tournament can be found at the top of the site. As soon as the tournament is finished it will get a grey background so it's easier to find what you're looking for.

and...then
Running from 14th July, 2017 until 30th January, 2018 (organized by Cycozar undefined).

I would like to run the Fantasy Button Set on this Tournament (Except the Dead Guy) as they are pretty vanilla, which puts everyone on pretty much the same playing field. As a double elimination, it gives everyone the chance to come back.

Fun First - Winning is a bonus!! That's my motto, so this tournament is all about fun. I want everyone to laugh their little booties off. So the story is a fake (absolutely made up) story.

Your story can start out with..... I was driving down the road AND THEN. The next player must make something up from there. It's somewhat like the continuation story line games of the past but these can be exciting, funny, full of bologna, way out and unreal.

This should be very interesting, because just when you THINK you know where the story line is going, your opponent says AND THEN......the story line is now going in a whole new direction.

We play KO system in single elimination. So it's the easy way: you win → you move up, you lose → you're out.

The theme is the obvious at this time of the year: holiday season. You may choose your own button (TL), but you need to explain why in your eyes this button in particular is related to the holiday season. It does not have to make sense, just find any explanation for your choice.

Anybody here who wants to beat up some buttons to prove that the own holiday hero is the best?

Buttons


 * Peace - because that is what I wish to you all, and also what I hope to have at work once the boss goes on holiday


 * Harry Pudding -


 * Holiday - self-explanatory


 * GreatWolf - because these days the holiday season seems to start at Halloween


 * BunBun - some background reading to explain this could include: |SluggyFreelance


 * Judah Maccabee - as Morris's bar mitzvah was, in fact, during Chanukkah & the text on the scroll is unique to that season


 * Reaver - in A Christmas Carol, the spirit of Christmas Future is often portrayed as a Grim Reaper figure


 * Nickie - the Jolly One's miscreant cat who likes to beat people up

Konami played by myself is the champion button from previous edition and I will try to defend the title. Players are free to pick form the below list any button, aside from the one they played with in edition nr 3 (if they played at all). We need 8 players in total.

Bruno is the new set and we have 4 new champions from other sets. All buttons to choose from are currently the best (champions) from their sets (stats from new site only). (BRAWL), (Brom),  (Bruno),  (Cowboy Bebop),  (Dork Victory),  (Fantasy),  (L5R),  (Sailor Moon),  (Samurai),  (Sluggy Freelance),  (Soldiers),  (Tenchi Muyo),  (Unexploded Cow),  (ZOECon),  (Zodiac),  (Blademasters). Once all players are in, AnnoDomini will run excel macro to randomly assign the pairings.

Winner will have a reserved place in the next tournament, will be able to play the same button and can name a new set (4 buttons or more, not Fanatics) to be added to the selection list.

Champions_No.3
Running from 7th July, 2016 until 28th July, 2016 (organized by AnnoDomini undefined).

The winner of previous tournament was irilyth with Sagittarius, so he keeps the privilege to play this button again and try to defend the title. We are looking for 7 players who sign up and pick a button from the list below (apart from Sagittarius). Buttons can not duplicate and if a player played in the previous champion tournaments, they can't pick the same button as last time.

We have Blademasters as the new set and a total of 5 new buttons. All buttons to choose from are currently the best (champions) from their sets (stats from new site only). (BRAWL), (Brom),  (Cowboy Bebop),  (Dork Victory),  (Fantasy),  (L5R),  (Sailor Moon),  (Samurai),  (Sluggy Freelance),  (Soldiers),  (Tenchi Muyo),  (Unexploded Cow),  (Vampyres),  (ZOECon),  (Zodiac),  (Blademasters). Once all players are in, AnnoDomini will run excel macro to randomly assign the pairings.

Winner will have a reserved place in the next tournament, will be able to play the same button and can name a new set (4 buttons or more, not Fanatics) to be added to the selection list.

The winner of previous tournament was AnnoDomini with Unicorn, so they keep the priviledge to play this button again and try to defend the title. They have also introduced new set which is Zodiac - it replaces Buttonlords, who's champion had the lowest win %. All buttons to choose from are the best (champions) from their sets (stats from new site only): (BRAWL),  (Brom),  (Cowboy Bebop),  (Dork Victory),  (Fantasy),  (L5R),  (Sailor Moon),  (Samurai),  (Sluggy Freelance),  (Soldiers),  (Studio Foglio),  (Tenchi Muyo),  (Unexploded Cow),  (Vampyres),  (ZOECon),  (Zodiac). Buttons can not duplicate and if a player played in the previous tournament, they cant pick the same button as last time.

Games - Loser's Bracket
Double Elimination: every player may lose one game before being completely out of the tournament

Player's Points
Scoring Points

Until we have better ideas we'll use a point system similar to BMGolf but increasing with the game levels for player's points. This is not the same as a proper ranking. Since in the winner's bracket are less games to play we'll count Quarterfinals, Semifinals, and Finals double as long as the player doesn't fall into the loser's bracket.

This is no official ranking. It's meant for comparing the own results with future tournaments.

Champions (8)
Running from 4th June, 2016 until 16th June, 2016 (organized by AnnoDomini undefined).

For discussion about this tournament see.

There are 16 buttons available to choose from. Those are best buttons from each of the 16 sets which I have selected - we can call those Champion buttons: (BRAWL), (BROM),  (Buttonlords),  (Cowboy Bebop),  (Dork Victory),  (Fantasy),  (L5R),  (Sailor Moon),  (Samurai),  (Sluggy Freelance),  (Soldiers),  (Studio Foglio),  (Tenchi Muyo),  (Unexploded Cow),  (Tiffany),  (ZOECon). Players who wish to join pick one of the above buttons. New players joining need to pick different buttons to the players who joined earlier.

Once all players are in AnnoDomini undefined will announce the pairing (random). For those who join please make sure you log in at least once every 24 hrs. If any player will not be online for more than 24hrs, he will loose the game automatically.

Zodiac (8)
