I dunno about the "updated" list. I just used the list posted at the first of this thread. As for how these teams are seeded, it was NOT random. I went through every team on the list and took into account their relative levels, record, and standing in their respective leagues. If you go through the list, you'll notice that all the undefeated teams are up at the top and all those who have lost this season are a little further down. However, if a team has lost but has a higher overall rating than most, they should still be pretty close to the top. As the seeding is somewhat arbitrary. I figure it's about as good as it's gonna get. Everyone will be playing against teams that are pretty similar in overall rating as everyone else, so you can complain if you want, but (1) this isn't the official seeding of the tourney (just how I have seeded the brackets that I've set up), and (2) it won't make much of a difference who you'll play. Everyone's between 42 and 48 in overall rating (with the possible exception of one or two of the bottom-seeded teams), so everyone should match up about the same.

Sounds good, im fine with being underestimated as I checked most of those teams out and there in no way better than us, but going by record is fine/scouting bars as I could understand not wanting to look deep into every team. Hopefully the tourny can start soon, and good luck to everyone in it.

Looks like you're gonna play the #1 seeded team in your upcoming conference game. That will be an indication of whether or not the seeding worked out ok. Nothing against your team. I tried to be as objective as possible.

Incidentally, I have included the Berlin Bombers in the seeding, even though they aren't "officially" entered until Tenks says so. Here's the updated list:

1 Italian Stallions
2 Prague Defenstators
3 KNIGHTS OF THE ROUND TABLE
4 The Forsaken
5 La Tourette Syndrome
6 Newcastle Seahorses
7 Valletta Vikings
8 Sicily Steelers
9 Fluffy Pink Bunnies
10 Manchester Mud Dogs
11 Amsterdam Pirates
12 Hollywood Warren Brotherhood
13 Stockholm Dynamites
14 Berlin Bombers
15 London Jaguars
16 Ingolstadt Hat Tossers
17 Cancún Sharks
18 London Rippers
19 Toro Toreros
20 Lords of Chaos
21 London Fog
22 London Hitmen
23 New Orleans Bayou Bengals
24 Belgian Beers
25 Starkvegas Vandersexxx
26 Munich Revolution FC
27 Wolverhampton Wolverines
28 TILBURG CHEESEHEADS
29 Svendborg Rottweilers
30 Athens Golden Eagles
31 Windsor Nobles
32 Chi-Town Hustlers
33 EuroTrash Talkers
34 West Seattle Wyld Stallyns
35 London Pulse
36 Mississippi Delta
37 Unforgiven Saints
38 Edinburgh Union Jacks
39 Ireland Drunken Irish
40 WV MOUNTIES
41 Barcelona Toros Grandes
42 Stockholm Lions
43 Dinwiddie Dustdevils
44 Reading Armed Centaurs

It's pointless to seed. It should just be random. The cream will rise to the top.

I'm not in charge. I'm just trying to help out...

Ya I know. I'm just making the suggestion that it is probably more fair to just throw them into the bracket randomly (maybe alphabetically or something) since there is no way to really fairly seed this tournament.

For example, your #19 team beat your #10 team 34-3 today.

I'm not saying it's bad that you're trying to help or anything, just that it is pretty much impossible to accurately seed 43 teams that haven't played each other.

you took way too long to organize this and hte thread starter barely has posted

50+ team tourney when there are minimal days left to schedule games and some teams might already have friendlies scheduled = not going to finish in time

it basically has to be set up and started by tomorrow or it will never finish

If he keeps waiting to start the tourny its going to take too long, you need to start the tourny now as everyone else is saying.. the teams that really want to play in it have seen this by now..

I've already sped up the process by cutting a day off for registrations. I will do the bracket soon. No worries. ^^;
I'm debating on how long the deadline should be. 3-5 days, not sure which though.

Atm its day 12, say you were to do a 50 team tourny(which wouldnt work out too well, but here would be the scenario)

Round 1: 25 Matchups
Round 2: 12-13 Matchups
Round 3: 6-7 Matchups
Round 4: 3-4 Matchups
Round 5: 2-3 Matchups
Round 6. Championship game/one more game needing to be played.

By the time all of that got scheduled and the time it takes to play all those games It would be near playoffs or playoff would start by the time it ends.

Teams needs to be cut down a bit or needs to start asap or it won't work as well.
