Night Cup Finals
Hi,
There have been a few changes and subsequent delays over the course of NSNC12, but finally the end is near.
There was some debate over how fair the original loser bracket format was, as it was effectively a back door into the finals without any real handicap to the "winner of the losers" or any advantage to the "winner of the winners".
So we have decided that the losers bracket will only go as far as a Bronze Final match. This leaves us with two finals to be played to wrap up NSNC12 but unfortunately we are out of time this weekend.
Finals: Flatline vs the clan
Bronze Finals: The sproggalots vs Not Really Sure
These games will be played sometime in the next week (next weekend at the latest).
It has been a learning experience for me running this Night Cup and I hope the next one will not be so messy. Watch out for NSNC13 in the coming weeks!
Thanks.
Update:
Finals to be played tonight (Sunday 27th July) at 20:00 CET.
Good luck!

So it's not a handicap, as you can't actually win the tournament if you get knocked down to the lower bracket, mu.

The disadvantage of coming from the lower bracket into the final should be that you have to win two maps, while the upper bracket team only has to win one map. That's how it's done in all the big CS tournaments, anyway.

Also the first round matches should be random instead of "strong team" vs "weak team".

you seed all teams
1 plays 8, 2 plays 7, 3 plays 6, 4 plays 5
Seeds 1, 3, 6 and 8 on 1 side of upper bracket, with 2, 4, 5 and 7 on the other.
If you lose you go to lower bracket. Winners of upper bracket play each other to get to finals.
Losers of that match play winner of lower bracket. Losers of this match take bronze, winners go into finals.
To win finals, upper bracket wins one round (and tournament) by knocking the other team out of lower bracket.
Since you can only leave the tournament by losing in lower bracket, the winners of lower bracket must beat the upper bracket finalists not only once to put them in the lower bracket, but twice to then knock them out of tournament totally.
