[VGC] April VGC 2015 Forum Tourney (Canceled)
#9
I figured BO3 was the best way to go because RNG is still a detrimental factor in competitive Pokemon games and could potentially decides matches. Honestly no one IMO doesn't want someone to breeze through the tourney with a reputable amount of "luck" with say things like Rock Slide flinches, freezes, parahax, Swagger, etc without eliciting some form of competitive skill and decision making. That said, BO3 is the best compromise to mitigate the amount of "hax" in battle while give players a chance to get back in their series. Even though I haven't done Swiss Rounds for awhile now, we haven't had enough people to participate (like 16+) where I'm might do at least 5 BO1 matches and have the top 8 (or top 4) advance. Usually I find that people will leave the tourney given their circumstances and we'll have like 11-12 people left. Single eliminations likely encourages people to stay in the tournament and the opportunity to win prizes. Probably the only other reason why I might incorporate Swiss Rounds again is to mimic Premier Challenges but for the time being I'll stick with this format.
