because we had 6 johns that have been there since round 1. I've tagged them multiple times and nobody's responded so whatever. We have a sub for the next round which means there will only be 1 bye in the semis.why are there 5 matchups lol
I don't see a reason to continue to give chances to players who fail to respond over multiple rounds. Rather, I would prefer shortening this tour to the select few players who care enough to, at the very least, contact their opponents. This tour's purpose is basically shot now, anyways, as the ORAS NU ladder is up and we know what the meta looks like. I've already contacted the sub for the next round and he said he wants to play which is already a step up from the 6 I kicked out, whether they intended to john or not. I took the necessary action so that everyone who wants to play can play.in that case you're supposed to coinflip them
the problem is that you now have a round with 10 ppl. next round there will be a bye (in semifinals!) and finals will be between 3 players (so a Bo3). I agree with FLCL that you should have coinflip, or if anything try to find the two most active one out of the 6 and pair them together so that there would not be a bye next round lolI don't see a reason to continue to give chances to players who fail to respond over multiple rounds.

there isn't going to be a bye next round, I have another sub I can pair with someone for next round. The round after that is going to have a bye, but that was the plan from the beginning when we decided to have a 48-man tour.the problem is that you now have a round with 10 ppl. next round there will be a bye (in semifinals!) and finals will be between 3 players (so a Bo3).

ok. it just seemed like it would be more worthwhile to sub in someone who wants to play instead of giving people who aren't playing more free rounds.you can't randomly sub in someone in semi finals Disjunction, and if you do sub someone in there won't be a bye in finals??? it will just be ex: flcl vs sg, sg vs zeb, zeb vs flcl. Please don't sub anybody in at this point of the tournament.
But tbh, I don't really feel like being a huge bitch about this because this tour is already a big enough pain with the very long list of things that has been going wrong with it.PS: if we get to ~48 ppl including subs, just pair all the subs together and have them participate in R1. we can deal with a 3-way final, too (48 -> 24 -> 12 -> 6 -> 3 -> 1). it should be like 42-ish (?) right now but i'm too lazy to count, so if a handful more people sign up we can have everyone who missed out on it get a chance to play too.
