pclayton Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 Beat #45 Schuett tonight in the Spingold and earned the right to play Nickell tomorrow, since we get the 64 seed. Seems strange that the team that beat Schuett in the afternoon earns the 45 seed and the 65 seed (us) gets 64. Oh well. Its Han, Arend, myself and Brian Gilbert. Wish us luck :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtK78 Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 You were in a 4 way with 3 survivors, correct? Therefore, the afternoon winners advance and get an evening bye, while the two losers playoff for the right to advance to the next day. The two afternoon winners get the higher two seeds of the four team group, and the evening survivor gets the lowest seed. Does that make sense?

Walddk Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 Wow, will it be on vugraph? Not unless they make a last minute change to the schedule, and if they do, I think they will show one of the quarter-finals from the Wagar (women). Anyway, I also wish Phil & Co. the best of luck!

pclayton Posted July 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 You were in a 4 way with 3 survivors, correct?

The two afternoon winners get the higher two seeds of the four team group, and the evening survivor gets the lowest seed. Does that make sense? My understanding of this is since we were always the low seed in our 4 way that we would have made the 64 seed under any circumstances. Put it this way - if in the afternoon, 65 beats 44 and 64 beats 45, and 44 beats 45 in the evening, that under what you said - the 44 now becomes the 64 seed? That wasnt my understanding. Thanks for the good karma everyone (even Justin is secretly rooting for us, I'm sure :(). It should be quite the experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtfanclub Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 Huh. Seeding is such strange stuff! Best of luck to your squad! If you win, do you get a T shirt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glen Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 If you win, do you get a T shirt? If he wins (just this next match) he gets bragging rights for about 50 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jlall Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 Regarding Dick, he will recover and does not have anything life threatening. Beyond that I don't feel like it's my place to say. Also regarding the seeds of the 4 way matches, think of it this way. Say seeds 44, 55, 66, and 77 were in a 4 way. 77 beat 44 and 55 beat 66, then 66 beat 77. Now 55 becomes the 44 seed, 66 becomes the 55 seed, and 77 becomes the 66 seed. This is true even though 77 beat 44. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skjaeran Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 Good luck Phil, Arend, Han and Brian!!With some luck you migh beat them. But don't care about that. Sit down and play like you've never done before and have a hell of a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtK78 Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 Your explanation of the seeding is probably correct. The surviving teams retain their relative order in the seeding, with the eliminated team out, no matter what sequence of matches it took to arrive at one team being eliminated.
