  • playoff format?

    how will the playoff format go? will it be like 8 seeds(teams) and the one with the best seed (record) have the advantage such as.. playing the weaker seeds.. like a homecourt advantage type? I think it would be pretty cool if it played out that way. :]

    adding to last post...

    Oh and I forgot to mention.. when i say 8 seeds.. i mean like 8 seeds from each respective conference. So lets say 8 seeds in the West and 8 in the East. We can start out with a sweet 16 tournament. and the bracket formula could go something like..

    1st seed VS 8th seed
    4th seed VS 5th seed


    2nd seed VS 7th seed
    3rd seed vs 6th seed

    brackets like that.. for the West Conf and the East Conf. reason why i like this bracket formula.. is because u could have a underdog team.. with a cinderella playoff run.. ofcourse this is jus an idea.. it'd be cool if u guys have some cool ideas also for possible playoff brackets $

                As I understand it, Acid has not decided how the playoffs for basing would work. I'm pretty sure that twlb season is only 11 weeks, though. That's what Mythie said anyways

                I wouldn't hold your breath on a perfect playoff system. I wouldn't be surprised to see it either be just a #1 v #2 or a playoff for final positioning (teams with the same record would play to see who is ranked higher in the final standings).

                  Unless crome decided to change the system I believe it is the following (at least for twlj and twld):

                  Top 4 teams from each conference make playoffs. 1vs4, 2vs3 within the conference.

                  Then the winners of those two games play eachother, and finally the finals where the two conference winners play eachother for the title.

                  I have no idea how TWLB will work.

                    Playoffs should be cross-conference. Everyone in the two conferences has played vs each other once. No need to make them play each other again. Top 4 squads in each conference should be seeded like this:

                    Quarter Finals:
                    (W1 = West conf #1 squad, E3 = East conf #3 squad, etc)
                    Game 1: W1 vs E4
                    Game 2: W3 vs E2

                    and

                    Game 3: W4 vs E1
                    Game 4: W2 vs E3

                    Semi Finals:
                    (W1 = Winner of game 1, L3 = Loser of game 3, etc)
                    Game 5: W1 vs W2
                    Game 6: W3 vs W4

                    (The following part is optional, it determines the 5-8 squads)
                    Optional Game 9: L1 vs L2
                    Optional Game 10: L3 vs L4

                    Finals:
                    Game 7: W5 vs W6 (1st, 2nd)
                    Game 8: L5 vs L6 (3rd, 4th)

                    Optional Game 11: W9 vs W10 (5th, 6th)
                    Optional Game 12: L9 vs L10 (7th, 8th)

                    Final standings:
                    # - Who it is - (Round 1-Round 2-Round 3)
                    1st - Winner of Game 7 - (W-W-W)
                    2nd - Loser of Game 7 - (W-W-L)
                    3rd - Winner of Game 8 - (W-L-W)
                    4th - Loser of Game 8 - (W-L-L)
                    (Optional)
                    5th - Winner of Game 11 - (L-W-W)
                    6th - Loser of Game 11 - (L-W-L)
                    7th - Winner of Game 12 - (L-L-W)
                    8th - Loser of Game 12 - (L-L-L)


                    This is how this would look with the actual TWLD standings:
                    East Conference
                    ---------------------
                    1. Siege
                    2. Sk8
                    3. Shriek
                    4. Melee

                    West Conference
                    ---------------------
                    1. Light
                    2. Elusive
                    3. Onix
                    4. Disoblige

                    Round 1:
                    Game 1: Light vs Melee
                    Game 2: Onix vs Sk8

                    Game 3: Disoblige vs Siege
                    Game 4: Elusive vs Shriek

                    You guys can figure the rest out =)

                      Posted on Twleages.org:

                      This wasn't an easy one at all but it is.........

                      British Squad

                      Congratulation to themm they will take Zero Hour's league status.

                      Once the 11 weeks are over the leader of the league = the winner.
                      There will be a tournement after the league, more on that later



                      NO playoffs sucks but congrats to Brits for getting in.

                        Yeah I like your idea also Topy, but the reason why I say 8 seeds from each conf. is.. because you give more teams.. a chance.. and prove themselves when it counts. for example witht he excitement of a playoff the team could make sure they have there best and have a feeling that they can have a shot for the title. and it adds more excitement.. and it also.. gives the winner at the ending a feeling like.. yup.. we beat out all those teams with there best players on in a tourny as opposed to jus a few. but if crome and ppl like a short playoff.. i guess thas c00 too.

                          So, this weekend's Light/Diso TWLB match could essentially decide who wins TWLB. Diso's toughest match after this would be against Pallies. Light's toughest would probably be against Cripples. I'd give the edge to Diso and Light in both of those matches (especially if winning TWLB was on the line).

                          So everyone show up to watch this match. Chances seem pretty good that the winner of this match will take the season. Again, good luck to both teams. Give everyone a good show.

                            8 seeds per conference would make the season irrelavant. The season is for squads to enjoy and have fun, the playoffs are for serious contenders.

                            Also cross-conference playoffs would defeat the purpose of conferences in the first place. You play within your conference so that you can earn your playoff spot amongst your peers and get a chance to play some squads twice.
