D7 Should be split into two different groups

Re: D7 Should be split into two different groups

Not sure why you're being combative. I know a lot of time and effort goes into placing people to get them into the best division for their skill level. There was no critisizim of placement.

If anything, there was critisizim of lazy players!

It is certainly a good criticism on lazy players and I feel going soon into d6 that I'm one of those lazy people, I have like 10 AAAs in 8 years, idk how anyone ever places me. I also have alts, which are now outdated in terms of scores, but for assurance that may or may not have had to be checked, which is a nightmare for hosts. These are just (scattered) thoughts, I like thinking out loud I guess...

Re: D7 Should be split into two different groups

There was no sarcasm intended -- I very firmly believe that the divisional system is useless and have stated my opinion on it for a long time. However, I'm not going to change something that FFR has generally been familiar with, at least for the 10th official tournament.

People are way too complacent in a divisional system -- honestly:

since when has the meaning of tournament shifted from "let us find out who is the best" to "let us find out who is the best within an infinite and arbitrary set of population subsets the ultimate extension of which is to give everyone a trophy and a pat on the back and tell them they are a winner just by playing the game"

as harsh as that post is, I agree with this 100%.

Re: D7 Should be split into two different groups

to push it further it goes with the american school system mentality of "everyone's a winner" (also partially in sports, you just have "2nd winner" or something like this) which is utterly retarded and encourages destructive traits / patterns of thought etc


but hey its just fucking arrows tho i think my discussion is for another topic

Re: D7 Should be split into two different groups

all adding divisions has ever done is created more incentive to avoid becoming visibly good at this game (not that you'd ever want to anyway)

Re: D7 Should be split into two different groups

In my opinion, assuming the upcoming 10th Official Tournament has 7 divisions, there should be another division for the high d7 players to be placed in or d7 should be split into high and low groups based on skill.

no. the original purpose of d7 was for the very top players. if there is a large skill gap in d7, that means placements are wrong; it has nothing to do with the division itself. if this isn't possible, then the divisions below d7 need to be reworked.
