nate 4,574 Posted February 28, 2017 I was not pleased with how life has tragically ended up, when I'm debating Miz or the Hardy Boyz, on my lunch break, at the age of 42. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My victory will be fair and well-earned. Now, to vote for every single person I picked and call everyone who voted against them stupid. Sigh ... it's like March never left.

RIPPA 28,469 Posted February 28, 2017 If you are going to enter a bracket it needs to be done by tomorrow morning 6 AM EST (3 AM Pacific) *cough* @CSC *cough* Also - @maciej - your entry is not complete Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oyaji 6,561 Posted February 28, 2017 If it goes as I'm expecting, it will be very fascinating to see how the Hardys do against the Revival. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RIPPA 28,469 Posted March 1, 2017 Polls should now be open in all the Play-In Threads (Assuming I didn't miss one) Polls will close tomorrow at sometime - I will give warning as necessary Polls for the 1st Round Matchups not featuring a Play-In Opponent will go up tomorrow Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RIPPA 28,469 Posted March 2, 2017 Couple of things 1) Just to make my life easier - the play-in polls will stay open till this afternoon (I will close them probably between 4-6 PM EST). ALL 1st Round Polls will go up tomorrow and run from tomorrow (Friday) through Tuesday. If it didn't require so much actual work I wouldn't open the physical poll part until Monday but it is what it is 2) I am tweaking the tiebreaker format this year - starting with the 2nd round of the tournament, first tiebreaker will be vote differential (of previous non-play-in game polls). The 2nd tiebreaker will default to my vote. What I mean is - Say a third round vote is tied. If Wrestler A won round 1 by 10 votes and round 2 by 6 votes their Vote Differential would be +16. If Wrestler B won round 1 by 9 votes and round 2 by 10 votes their vote differential would be +19 and they would win. This may or may not discourage pity votes. It may or may not encourage people to make sure they vote in each poll. Who the fuck knows? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cyanide 289 Posted March 2, 2017 It would be cool if, like the play-ins, there was at least a day or so between the topics going up and the polls opening so people can make their cases and whatnot, but I get how that's a huge pain in the ass (especially in the early rounds) if there's no way to automate it.   (no I'm not already thinking of my hills to die on why do you ask) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RIPPA 28,469 Posted March 2, 2017 I will be closing the play-in polls when I get home - so a little after 5 pm EST Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Niners Fan in CT 11,945 Posted March 3, 2017 Not a lot of upsets in the play in I think everyone who deserved to make it through did outside if a couple pairings where I didn't have time to watch enough of both dudes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RIPPA 28,469 Posted March 3, 2017 The 1st Round matches that didn't feature a play-in guy are up I already changed my mind and am staggering it again. The other 16 matchups will go up tonight/tomorrow because 32 fucking match-ups released at once is way too many Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RIPPA 28,469 Posted March 4, 2017 And since it seems like most people are wanting to use the extra time (I mean we are already at like 50 votes in on polls) 1st Round Polls that went up today close Monday afternoon 1st Round Polls that go up tomorrow close Tuesday afternoon 2nd Round Polls go up Wednesday Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RIPPA 28,469 Posted March 4, 2017 All the other matches are now up. They are all tagged with "1B" so if you click on that it SHOULD pull up just those polls. You have until Tuesday so maybe not race to submit a vote 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
