I tried posting in the PVP area of the forums with hope that since it's the forums that the PVPers frequent, that on a whim one of them might actually answer a kinda weird question I had, dealing with the Swiss Draw tournament rules.
I was part of a group on Justice the other night trying to get the badge, and after reading the rules both in-game, and on the wiki, we thought we understood it fairly well.
Not the case in the LEAST.
Mind you, we were trying to get certain people to win for a badge, but, you would think that would help you understand the rules... how to win a competition for which you've entered. The rules are overall downright confusing, and there doesn't seem to be rhyme or reason for the winning or loosing of a match. The rules state:
Quote:
Swiss Draw Tournament - This new arena match type is a two-phase tournament that returns you to the Battle Terminal between matches. During the first phase, each player who enters this tournament will square off against another player. Once a 'Top 8' has been determined, the tournament enters its second phase. The second phase is a single elimination style tournament where only the 'Top 8' can continue. Those who do not qualify are removed from the tournament. The single elimination tournament continues until the last player is standing and that player is declared the winner.
also tagged in the wiki:
Quote:
An 8 to 64 player tournament that will have players duking it out 1 vs 1 until the top 8 combatants are chosen. After this point there will be three rounds of single elimination to determine the winner of the tournament.
Now, we had people that would lose twice, then be taken to the final round, some that would win one, lose one, and be dropped, or the opposite, and the same outcome. It didn't seem to matter on arena rank, points, or kills. There was no pattern, and no explanation.
Can *someone* pleasepleasepleaseplease either help, or can we please get a better write-up on how to win this, or how it works? Because right now, I can only guess that it's broken or borked somehow, with no easy fix.
Thanks!
