It has been about 2 months since my original post about the replacement of RR. Although we know that obviously we couldn’t see how the BO1 bracket would have worked (especially considering virtual world finals was Bo1?)

This will not take any extra time because they will play in parallel on the other half of the division fields that would otherw…

Do what RECF / VEX did. Scrape the top 20 scores for each team and play them off in a simulation where you pick a random score out of their collection of scores. Do 100 runs of the matches and give us the results. It’s a nice picture, show us how it gets the top teams to the podium most of the …
