3. July 2007, 16:24:38 Subject: random seedings Great. I requested this feature for in some games one player hass an advantage. For example in a Mancala elimination tournament always the highest rated player wins. 3. July 2007, 16:33:55 Subject: Re: random seedings  joshi tm: Might depend on who is black and who is white. Or is the higher rated player always white? 3. July 2007, 17:06:36 Subject: Re: random seedings Gordon Shumway: Lets say we have an Eliminator 8. The seeding would be: 1vs8 5vs4 3vs6 7vs2 In fact a second best player you will always play Black, as first rated player you'll play White all the times. 3. July 2007, 17:15:21 Subject: Re: random seedings joshi tm: That's not nice ;) Well, when it comes to unbalanced games like Mancala I'd always prefer 3-wins-matches or something like that, so things get a bit more even. But why not let it be random who's white and who's black? 3. July 2007, 17:57:51 Subject: Re: random seedings  That's why I always make my Single Elimination tourneys now with 2 win matches to advance. Seemed like it just levels the playing field a bit....... 3. July 2007, 19:24:47 Subject: Re: random seedings Eriisa: In 2 win matches the same problem stands. 3. July 2007, 22:36:48 Subject: Re: random seedings joshi tm: But it indeed levels it up a bit.. In a normal game currently the Mancala stats are ca. 60% white, 4% draw and 36% black. In a 1 win match a player who starts with black has ca. 38% chance of winning (if we just look at the white/black advantage, not at player skills of course..), in a 2 wins match ca. 44% and in a 5 wins match it is ca. 47%, which is close to even. 4. July 2007, 00:30:13 Subject: Re: random seedings Gordon Shumway: I just created a Single elimination for 4 tourney (posted on Tourney board). I put in for random seeding, random starting (when applicable) & 2 wins to advance. I wonder how it will start that one out. 4. July 2007, 00:36:11 Subject: Re: random seedings  Eriisa: You can say that again lol  (Deja Vu)Monkeys  playing  4.
