Since I've gotten the question about 5 times so far, I'm gonna save everyone some time and answer it here. Heads up; the technique involves some nerd dialogue since I used nerd technology that I stole from the nerd side of my brain. Tape up your glasses and enjoy:


The way the teams are laid out uses a system I divised that rates everyone's skill level in relation to their ability to pass all the Events of the RG, provided no one stepped in to stop them, which they will. It runs from 0-10, with anyone rated a 10 being able to win every challenge without trouble. NO ONE in this tournament ranked a 10 and these ranks are all objective, so everyone has an equal standard of judgement. Some of the other paramaters factored are your average audio quality (no 10's here either or in any of the other cartagories) consistancy (since I did research on ALL of you that made it in) who you have beef with, who you're cool with, strengths, weaknesses, habits, post times, etc. A disturbing amount of info that all you guys put right out here months ago and never thought anything of it. And it's all put to a numerical value and factored in on the teams. See why this tourney's alias is "Saw" now? lol. I promise you, you ain't seen shit yet.

The skill and other attribute number's were added up per person, then I aimed to have equally scored teams, so I moved around people from side to side and still aimed to keep the number of members equal on each team. The system I utilized makes it possible to have say one team of about 5 minimum, and another team of 11-14 and still have a truely balanced competition. It even factors in the odds of each individual person's realistic range of elevation and any elevation they'll undergo as a result of inventive minds all working together. There was no random selection or names out of a hat. Remember this: NOTHING AT ALL IN THE RG IS RANDOM OR GUESS-WORK. This entire tournament has been fully planned out to any of it's 4 possible outcomes before anyone even knew it existed. Why do you think it was worth putting up about $500 in prizes? BTW, you only know of about $300 worth thus far, the other $200 rolls out as the tourney goes on.

Hope this answered your question. You can take your brain out of nerd mode now.
