[QUOTE="shutyertrap, post: 214826, member: 134"] But it's not my randomizer! I go to random.org and enter all the tables that haven't been picked. Push the button, whammo. I will say this...considering how slow tables are to appear on PSN and Xbox, this has actually been a good thing, allowing more people to play every table in the tourney. I could always force the issue though, keep redrawing until a season 3 or 4 appears. Make sure at least one shows up per tourney or something. I have no intention of duplicating what FarSight does with divisions. I've set this up to mimic how my league plays, the tournament software Xanija made for me is designed this way, and in general I like the idea of players co-mingling. Also, it isn't entirely random, in that at least one top 10 (which ARE "A" division) is present in every grouping. Put Up / Shut Up let's those "A" people go head to head. As for posting to the forum instead of the link, well the link allows for all the scores to be collected in one spot in a formatted way that then is easily inputted into the tourney software. If I had to grab scores from the forum, it'd take forever. I essentially did that, manually entering scores, the very first tourney. It took me 3 hours to compile everything. Xanija's deal allows me to finish in 15 minutes. On top of that, we are trying to get players who are not part of this forum to play too. If they had to enter scores here, they'd have to sign up first. There is nothing that says people can't enter their scores onto the forum, as many do. And I get that people want to see live updates, but there is one issue with that; when people sign up and then don't play at all. Again, the first and I think second tourney, we wound up with rounds where there were only 2 players, and one time only 1. I need the flexibility to fill in the blanks of groupings, and that is done at random too. We one time wound up with the 3 top scores all in the same round, but that happens in my league too. I wish there were a way of guaranteeing that all players who sign up actually play, but we've yet to have it happen. [/QUOTE]
