I don't know who's doing results for round 2, hopefully I'm not stepping on any toes. I just wanted to see if the few I cared about won (they didn't, poor Noctowl). I didn't actually read most of the posts, I just went one match at a time and scrolled down counting. Because of that, I wouldn't claim that these are official. They're close enough though, especially since a lot of the matches were blowouts. I did notice that Chaeix wanted to change a vote on the first day but I didn't count that because the rules say changing votes isn't allowed. There's probably a better way to format these results but I couldn't think of it.
Cortondo Division (36) Golisopod/Mimikyu v. Electrode/Tapu Lele (11) (37) Sharpedo/Feraligatr v. Crawdaunt/Garbodor (10) (25) Rayquaza/Coalossal v. Drapion/Boltund (21) (27) Quaxly/Chi-Yu v. Wigglytuff/Blissey (20) Cinnabar Division (43) Gengar/Raikou v. Lairon/Hattrem (2) (25) Cloyster/Fuecoco v. Hippowdon/Scorbunny (19) (42) Suicune/Vileplume v. Nidoran/Deoxys (3) (27) Miltank/Ogerpon v. Noctowl/Arctibax (18) ...Are we doing star of the day and dud of the day for this round?

I can't even give dud of the day to any of the right side because it's like... the seeding is already so airtight and heavily reinforced by teaming two high seeds together with two low seeds, I don't think we'll see more than five total upsets in the entire round to be honest with you ...

The occasional chance of an upset would simply be heavily outweighed by the other half of each team a lot of the time.

Even though its likely going to be pretty predictable, I like that Round 2 is chopping most of the low midcarders out and cutting the field in half. Theres too many anyways.
Felt like Round 1 shouldve been the round that cut the field in half, so at least it happens a round later. We need less fluff so we can care more. And if these results are mostly blowouts it just means the next round will have that much better of matchups. --- Give 'em hell Ukraine. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Round 1 was like that because of UotY format, I'd say it's fine. I do enjoy field being cut in half, it would do that with 8 1v1 matches a day as well though. --- Guinness Book of World Records is the name of the diary that belongs to azuarc, the winner of the Game of the Decade II guru contest. ...

AriaOfBolo 05/09/24 9:07:10 AM #71: |
those were more snippy than I want them to have been
I'm sorry y'all don't like the tag round, and figured it wouldn't be super popular, but I'm also not changing it. It's fun for me, and this is a thing I am doing for fun, y'know? Y'all have my blessing if you wanna not engage with this round or the whole thing, or even if you want to make your own tournament and do it how you want. But I think the time to complain about the format was during the couple weeks it was made available before we started. I'll probably take a day off today and I'll probably keep going tomorrow. also, thanks Roba! should've led with that also I think y'all are overestimating how cookie cutter this round is gonna be. Like yeah the blowouts are gonna blowout, but I don't think Electrode was gonna beat Mimikyu 1v1 either. We've had a few close-ish matches, and they'll get slightly closer in seeding over the course of the round. I've set it up so day 1 is the 1 seed, and the X+1, 2X+1, and 3X+1 seeds, so that we don't start with all blowouts and end with all coinflips. Still though, that'll lead to slightly more debatable matches as 1 approaches X. --- New name, new gender, same great Bolo flavor! She is messy, but she's kind; she is lonely, most of the time ...

More unofficial results because no one asked me to stop and it's honestly kind of relaxing to scroll through doing this. I don't mind it, but I'll stop if someone better at picking stars/duds comes along.

Comfey/Archen (24) Star of the Day: Comfey/Archen These two came damn close to the upset! One vote could've made the difference.
