Checking bid rules, noticed our new rule that past league champion is automatic #1 seed.
Give me a few minutes, hold up
OK, so panicked there, but we only have 1 playoff champion from 2024 as previously stated, and that is
Farmboy won BM
Therefore Farmboy is #1 seed BM this year. That makes @axis-dominion #2 instead of #1, and Adam514 #3 instead of #2.
Fortunately I didn’t hype up any of those matchups. Good luck facing the buzzsaws, boys
Bracket for BM is up to date for the new 2025 rule that reigning champion gets automatic #1 seed. Everyone may proceed

now, where oh where is former heavyweight @JDOW hibernating all these years… won’t you come back already?
JDOW occasionally lurks, sometimes even closely following a championship game occasionally. I think he would be very difficult but not impossible to resurrect. A truly remarkable track record here, and did you see his interview with @crockett36 that I think is less than 1 year old? Some real nuggets of A&A advice in there, along with all the generally fascinating/interesting thoughts all around them

@gamerman01 Thanks Gamer, love the annual write ups

@axis-dominion said in League General Discussion Thread:
still not happy that pac gave up his seat in the bm playoffs, but it’s what it is i suppose. glad he’s back, tho, and i’ll try to get a game or two with him outside of the playoffs
I’m going to say I have a lot of sympathy for this position. I really shouldn’t have played Adam and dropped my standing in the league, and also the second game with bobbarossa.
Anyway, it is what it is.

@BobbaRossa said in League General Discussion Thread:
Gamer, I generally prefer to bid up instead of down if I’m initiating the bid (i.e. I’ll take Axis and give you 40). I didn’t see anything in the rules against this, but would obviously preclude being able to specify what the bid is spent on. Is that ok?
Yes totally OK. If both players agree, you can agree to sides however you want.
However, if there’s not agreement, then the league “defaults” are there to make the decision for you. Even the league defaults do not specify bidding up or down, and certainly nothing about disclosing placements before bidding is over. I was just throwing in an idea now that OOB bids are quite high and some players prefer knowing what that +50 or +60 is going for before deciding. Thanks for the respectful question
Great! Thanks for the clarification.

@farmboy plays simon
@axis-dominion plays @fasthardI hope it’s straightened out in time that no one suffered
