Was his the best losing entry? No.

Would he win if we had to vote between the 16 losers? No.

Therefor the way it was done makes no sense.


he didnt need to be the best, only to get the most votes. Thats how the winners were decided too.

Exactly. There's always going to be a certain amount of randomness in these things. You never know who you're up against, you never know the source. I think choosing the person with the best numeric performance in the previous round was the most logical way to go.

The fact that Azionite toppled Anfa proves that he was an outstanding replacement for Chrispis.


that doesn´t make sense Cynn... hell beat Azi and is out now. It´s a matter of source and luck (where luck means the source made your opponent choke).

Anyway, disconsider any comment I make. Wink I really don´t wanna take part in THIS discussion.

Yep, DoaC.. Chrispis could not compete in the comp, so he emailed JMH and said that he wanted to drop out.

I had the most votes for a second place entry in Round 2, so JMH contacted me and asked if I wanted to take Chris' place. It was a decision made by more than just Chrispis and more than just JMH.

I think it was completely fair and by the book. Smile



Sad Darn. Now that I've learned about time zones I was really hoping for a do-over. Razz

In the end I think the decision was fair and worked out. Az's luck was just better than everyone elses that's all. 'Course we could all demand the entrance fees be refunded.

What do mean you didn't get charg..... HEY Shocked

I dont think it maters, at the end of the day if he moves to the next round and is not good enough, he drops out (which he didnt!) Also, it is not the best 16 that go on to the next round, the only way the best 16 could be choosen is by voteing in a standard contest. When you compete one on one like that, the 2 best enterys could be put up against each other and only one is going to get through!
