Hi everybody. It's your favourite Melbourne board poster Headless here.
As you may know, Supermercado successfully ran Demonbracket for nine iterations, from 2012 until 2020 inclusive. You can find past winners below:
2012 - James Frawley d. Nathan Jones
2013 - Tom McDonald d. Mitch Clark
2014 - Nathan Jones d. Jack Watts
2015 - Nathan Jones [2] d. Dom Tyson
2016 - Jack Viney d. Nathan Jones
2017 - Max Gawn d. Jack Viney
2018 - Neville Jetta d. Clayton Oliver
2019 - Clayton Oliver d. Neville Jetta
2020 - Max Gawn [2] d. Clayton Oliver
With Super's blessing, this season we'll run a similar activity, though with some slight changes:
- The tournament will be known as Dees That Pleaseā¢
- The tournament will run on BigFooty only
- Because it will be run by me and not by Super, it will be inferior in practically every single way
- There are some changes to seeding (see below)
For those unfamiliar, the basic idea is:
- Of our 45 listed players in the men's competition, I will post match-ups at seemingly arbitrary (actually arbitrary intervals)
- You make clear your preference in each match-up, based on literally any criteria you like
- Players are eliminated one by one until we find our ultimate champion
Of course, let me make it very clear that we love and appreciate all 45 of our players, and those that progress don't necessarily denote the most popular on BigFooty - after all, we'll all have different voting criteria!
To determine the match-ups, I Googled "knock our tournament draw 45 teams", found a tournament template, and then "seeded" our list in the following way:
- Most games for the club
- I realised that the resource I was using only highlighted those that had played this season, so amend the above to most games for the club assuming they've played this year
- If they haven't played this year, I then went simply by guernsey number - HEAPS of FUN!
