Examples of invitational formats: Swiss www.start.gg/tournament/swiss-example/events Double elim/Round robin www.start.gg/tournament/summit-example/events
I know swiss format mainly from card game tournaments, I thought the main benefit was that people would fight other players close to their skill level in the context of a ~1000 player tournament. How would it work in a group of ~16 players who you would hope are around equal skill level.
@@Team-Eclipse6024 so in an invitational, there may be most of the top 10, some top 20, and usually a few top 50 or top 100 or not even ranked players. My format for Swiss does not eliminate anyone from the Swiss portion bc it’s such a small bracket, and instead seed the divisions that players will participate in later in the event. In a round robin invitational format, a lot of the time there are the same amount of winless players compared to double elimination, so giving lower seeds the chance to fight each other while still being able to play higher seeds if they win is better than forcing players to have to upset players much higher ranked than them just for the chance to play someone closer to their level.
16-player round robin and late choosing opponents is best because there are fewer jabronis to cause upsets and the top 5 players I like get to win more 😊
@@IsaacMidas I assume you mean corrin not cotton lol, and yeah corrins becoming more relevant in the meta so people are getting better against the character, interesting to see
i hope more TOs would watch this video, it raises so many good points for discussion. Invitationals are my favorite format to watch, i wish the best for such events!
Thank you for the kind words! The Cheat (TO for the last few Summits) and JeB (TO for Eggdog Invitational) replied and gave their thoughts on my Reddit post on r/ssbm, idk if JeB will change their format for Eggdog Inv 2 but I’m glad he at least noticed it. And local/regional TOs like myself end up hosting a lot of invitationals too, which I think can especially benefit from a 32 Swiss pool + double elim gauntlet stage. Ludwig and Aiden have already done Swiss a bunch of times (LSI, LACS5, SoCal star league 1-6) but I think their format can also be tweaked a bit to benefit lower seeds more, I understand their position tho. We’ll have to wait and see if Swiss starts to become more popular again!
I’m pretty sure morsecode isn’t gonna be on the list cuz he hasn’t attended enough, I’d also put magi somewhere from like 16-20 for winning low tide city, 2nd at combo breaker, and a top 8 at collision
Eh I disagree, rankings are not just trying to win the most events, it’s a report card if someone’s season as a whole. Amsa was more consistent and had a better spread against the top 10 compared to mango. And Hbox was more wins vs the top 10 and fewer bad losses than wizzy (I assume you mean hbox is 8)
@@fastfallproductions I usually agree with you but here you are overvaluing consistency here. It doesn’t matter that aMSa had a more consistent year when mang0 won a supermajor over Zain & Cody. Mang0 is the only person to say that they could beat both Cody and Zain in same tournament and also win the whole thing. AMSa has already lost to Cody 5 times, I would put aMSa over mang0 if he was able to attain a single Cody win.
@@fastfallproductionsyou can’t really make an argument for consistency to push amsa over mango considering amsa had 2 2nd place finishes and mango had a win and a second place finish, mango also attended a lot more PLUS his worst performance was at genesis with a 9-12 compared to amsas worst being a 17-24, overall it is very close but I really think mango should take it

To look for local smash tournaments, I recommend looking on smash.gg/tournaments. You can search for upcoming offline events in your state/country for pretty much any competitive game. Also, you can look on smashcords.com/ for a list of some local discords. Also, search on facebook, smashboards, reddit, twitter, and other social media platforms using keywords like a nearby city. Lastly, here's some helpful reddit links I found: www.reddit.com/r/smashbros/wiki/facebook www.reddit.com/r/smashbros/comments/6x0its/connect_to_your_college_2017_fall_edition/ www.reddit.com/r/smashbros/comments/4y6obc/connect_to_your_local_college_thread/
