I read the first page. One guy said I don't want to face guys in the first round, and then you mentioned making sure they didn't meet in the second round. Is that it?

If we are going to have a bragging rights tournament, then second place and third and fourth will mean a lot to teams once we get there.
not really, we just want you to stop complaining.
I'm sure MLK Jr. was complaining.
I'm just trying to stand up for the right thing to do here. You're not trying to solve any problems, you're just trying to start fights. I'm trying to right the situation. The only thing I asked for was a systematic way to pair teams, not one that could considered manipulated by a person. That way at the end of the tournament no team could say it was an unfair system. You think I'm trying to cause problems, but I'm trying to head them off.
Yeah it caught me off guard that every round was going to be made up on the fly with what appears to be no thought of which teams were good or bad. I don't really want the best teams to play early in the tournament. I was unaware by what I read that that was the plan for the tournament.
not trying to start fights...you are the only person that has complained about the pairings...should i repeat ONLY PERSON who has complained...Jay's team is out of the tournament anyways so its not like there is a conflict of interest here...he busted his a$$ and even asked for input on how to do the pairings...didnt hear you speaking up then...so dont come back and try to make it sound like im in the minority in wanting you to stop complaining about 1) something you have already said you dont care about winning and 2) something that was meant to be fun...you act like you havent done anything wrong by not hurling insults when for the last two pages of this post you have complained about how jay is running the tournament when he is the one who is having to do all the work...if its such a big deal, dont play...your team already knows they are the best WE, so does it matter anymore what we think or how this tourney ends? this was meant to be fun, but your incessant desire to act like you are keeping things civil is actually having the opposite effect. just let the tournament proceed business as usual and be done with it. and im sorry but i have to agree with tothehouse its a little disrespectful to compare what MLK Jr. went through to a game that has no bearing on how we will live our lives.

The rankings for all of WEA are now updated at: http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=pOUigrsS32wLz2ey8lRrIbw
I've also re-ordered the different tabs/sheets, so the bracket is first, the schedule is second, and the most recent rankings (i.e., after Wk 7) are next.
Also, keep in mind that the rankings DO NOT take into account the results of friendlies. It would really complicate things and I don't have the time to re-configure all of it right now.
Thx.

Comparing yourself to MLK Jr. on a online football forum is pathetic. Quit complaining, quit whining and for real, dont compare yourself to a great great historical figure. You are pathetic.
Take a look around. YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE COMPLAINING ABOUT HOW THIS THING IS RUN. Contrary to what you may think, you are not important. You are annoying, but not important.
I'm making a point. I thought the analogy would help you understand my perspective. Why are you starting stuff? You guys are unbelievable. You act like you are such a decent person, but you continue to throw out insults at me for trying to get a fair tourney. You're not helpful you're just starting arguments.
Noone was arguing until you started complaining. You are not helpful. Noone but you is complaining about how the tourney is run. Stop acting like you are a victim when you are the only one in this entire thread complaining about how the tourney is run. Let it go.
If you want to insult my owner again, please let me know.. i would like to hear what you say, and i think Randall (spicy) will too. in fact i think the whole team would like to know if you want to insult him in public like this again.... we would be glad to have a..... "friendly discussion"...... to clear things up for ya.
