It's not "not fun", it's more the case that I got here late, didn't know what was going on and plus, having the Meaning of Life displaced (I refuse to say defeated) by Office Space thrust me into a state of perfect discombuberation. Now you know what I sound like when I'm discombuberated.
Anyway, as a comptetion these rules are ok. I was/am ignorant. But I do have an idea... At the risk of changing it from the competition format into a raw poll, if voting is ok on the final four, what about voting in the earlier rounds? I know that sounds like a lot of collating and counting, but you could sidestep the whole hanging chad issue by making use of your poll tool. Each level of the bracket could be one poll. Post the entire level at once, and let the voting be open for a short time (tick tock tick tock) and the votes accumulate and the whole level is decided at once. Really, it's not a lot different than what you have happening now, only the number of votes deciding the winner of a given match increases from one to something more than one, and the timeframe increases from one instant post to maybe a quarter hour? longer? shorter? Your poll tool still prevents ballot box stuffing with the one vote per member, and there could be cheering and jeering during the individual matches, as the vote totals accumulated. More time to enjoy the match in progress.
I dunno, just an idea. It is fun this way too.
And thanks for letting me come over to your place to play, sincerely. |
