Correct.

Also taking this post to say that proxies are allowed, provided they are in colour and unaltered from the original card.

have you considered cash prizes?

Considered but sticking to OverPower related prizes

Getting overpower stuff is harder than getting cash nowadays....LOL

My vote is for "Batman: Detective"

Any idea on what the turnout might be for tomorrow?

i'm thinking 10-12 people...i'm going tomorrow, but i'm cannon fodder...lol...

I had a great time meeting a lot of you Saturday.  Thanks for all the advice and encouragement!  Can't wait for the next one.

How did the tournament end up?

Complete details will be out later this week, Mike won the tournament. Garion came in 2nd, Pat came in 3rd with Sean taking home the 4th place. Rounding up 5-8th place were Jack, Henry, Greg, and Ed.

11 people made it to this tournament.

neither is 4th

I didn't know Garion and Mike were related...lol...Mike kept referring to Garion as the kid...now i get it! What's funny about the top three is that:

My deck beats Mike's deck, Mike's deck beats Garion's deck and Garion's deck beats mine..so it just depended on the pairings.

it looks like you took a bit of a beating on the playoff seeding, chuu. 

as second seed, you shouldn't have played the top seed until the finals.  using the rock/paper/scissors formula you came up with, that would have led to you winning.  the 3rd and finals games should have been the semis, with pat playing mike in the finals (but such formulas rarely hold up over multiple games )

The whole seeding thing was confusing, I was used to the NHL method where in the semi finals the teams are re-ranked with regards to their standings and paired in the same fashion as the quarters. In this case it would have been #1 vs #5, #2 vs #3. This is what I wanted to use but Sean said use (1 vs 8) vs (2 vs 7) and (3 vs 6) vs (4 vs 5).

I'm going to make it on record that the brackets I'll be using are:
(1 vs 8) vs (4 vs 5) and (3 vs 6) vs (2 vs 7)

Whoever hosts a tournament can decide otherwise.

Also, for tie-breakers in the Swiss Rounds, the method I use is the accumulated wins. So, in a 4 round Swiss, if you won in the first round it would be 4 points (the round 1 win carries its way to the end of the 4th round), won in the second round would be 3 points, etc.

Players are then ranked by wins, then points, then versus record into the top 8.

I agree, the second method you listed is the best.  the re-seeding after each round so the top seed always plays the bottom works as well, but i'm of the idea that if 8 earns the upset, he deserves the easier path

if 1/8 plays 2/7 in the semis, whoever wins out of 3/4/5/6 probably has an easier path to finals than the top 2 seeds!
