Now you know what to do for next timethe world is one where apa organizes tournaments. it wasn't true doub elim. in the winners bracket final it was all or nothing. the loser is out and does not get a chance in the losers bracket. so nobody wanted to play the team that was stacked with 3 players over 650 fargo. they wanted to go to the losers bracket where there was also a trip to vegas that was way easier to win (one on the winners side and one on the losers side). on the winners side it was an almost guaranteed loss against the stacked team...
my team (who was the second best team in the entire league other than the stacked team) got to be the lucky "winners" to get to the final of the winners bracket because nobody wanted to be there. even though our team is good it was really no match. fargo stats put us at about a 9 percent chance of winning. so we only had one loss and then out of the tournament. every other team got to take a loss and go to the losers bracket but us.
It was by far the dumbest playoffs I've ever played in.
I should add the team that dumped on us did in fact go on to win the trip to vegas on the losers bracket. so yeah
DOD fix.Fixed that for you.

no, no, don't thank me
Their clock is visible to them every time they go to sit down and turn it off. My experience in using game clocks is that it does speed up play. When the chance to lose the match if they run out of time is looming over them, the slugs put on running shoes.So it’s not a shot clock but a match clock like in chess. It doesn’t do much to improve slow play in pool.
A shot clock has to be visible to the competitors; a total time clock does nothing to improve pace of play.
