Guess we won't be nominating VVVVVV, then. (I know you're not framing this as a hard rule, but I still want to try to obey the spirit of the contest.) if you can, try to. azuarc posted... Anyway, there's definitely some weird stuff that happens with use of the alternate. It gets played for first tiebreakers, which was the primary use, but then because loser's brackets inherently have more rounds than winner's brackets, it pulled double duty in the later parts of the LB. You may want to look at how the late rounds of the LB could play out, because there's room at that stage of the bracket for wanting multiple alternates. I know I pulled some weird bullshit for how to pick songs in those matches, like whichever song had the most decisive win earlier in the contest, or randomly making it a 3v3, etc. how about this. Given the philosophy "random is fun", you can select up to say 5 tracks as your alternates, and which is used in a given tiebreaker is a roll of the dice. Maybe with a minimum of 1, maybe with higher. If you can only field the minimum or only feel you can support it, that's what you do, but it carries with it the penalty of people getting fatigued of hearing the same song from it over again and having its performance crippled in any other ties it might get into. I do think the set of main songs and the set of alternates can be kept separate azuarc posted... Other than that, as long as I can infer that there is not a total redesign of the contest, I can begin preparing nominations and telling folks what to expect. I had held off until now for fear there might be some major overhaul -- which I would be totally okay with, by the way. I think uf8 had Opinions but those might've just been for VGMC. I think everybody was pretty cool with how it went, more or less, so I don't think many people are likely to pop up with radical ideas. You're probably safe to start advertising and planning --- Kneel... or you will be knelt <cite>NFUN posted [p:968364811] in BOST 6 Rul...
