It's not just you! I think I've won like 20 packs at this point from tourneys and feel like I've pulled almost nothing above bronze.

I'm really liking these monthly opens. Not that I'm winning any of them, but I enjoy seeing the top whales just blast one another round after round. I also like the variability. For example, the Wilmington Blue Rocks, Stone Island, and Southern Southpaws (teams that have won previous big tourneys for elite cards) didn't even make the "Sweet 16" in the Hunt for 100 Dizzy Dean. You figure that the marginal advantage some of these whales have over each other is really taxed with so many teams and so many rounds.

Same. The closest thing we have to a Perfect-er level.

The 250 points (or 200 in the case of the 32 team bronzes I regular enter) are far more useful to me, but I enjoy the packs. I do still enjoy playing the lottery, even if I'm never willing to spend my own money on it. The results and contents of the pack are usually not worth it, but the pack itself still is. The process is fun and worthwhile even when the lasting effects of it are not.

Still? That's where it was stuck last time I was at my computer about 4.5 hours ago. This was the first tournament I stepped into in more than a week. This is really disappointing.

Yeah, I give performance an A+ until tournaments.

Since tournaments, closer to about what I might've expected. Some klunks + klanks that leaked into seasons, too.

Anyone else see teams like this being ubiquitous in various tournaments you like to compete in?
yeah, I've faced off against both of them in a bunch of different tourneys... sometimes I win 'em, sometimes I lose 'em... just hope my sacrifice to the random number gods is enough to get by

You'll probably see my bunch from Waffletown in a lot of the 16 and 32 team gold tourneys as well in the evenings/weekends (if I have time to sit and play for a bit); as they have a pretty solid roster of non-live gold cards... don't always come out on top, but won enough to make it worth the effort

as for pack luck from tourneys... pulled some gold cards out of the mix (mostly 'lives' but did land Sammy Hughes yesterday, so that was a nice addition to the squad)... handful of silvers here and there, and the usual mix of bronze/irons... only positive part from those have been that the bulk have been new to me (not a dupe of one i already have), so helps to round out the collection

Battery Point here. Yeah, the Energizer Bunnies specialize in gold tournaments --- that is essentially all they play (with the exception of an occasional bronze tourney when there are no gold ones available). They specialize in gold because the great majority of their regular lineup is still gold.

My Southern Southpaws are a better team (though still FTP) so you will see them in cap tournaments (1625, 1700, 1825 --- all except LIVE-only) and also silver when there are no cap ones available.

Finally, my Caspers specialize in Live tournaments. Since they have never been part of "Our League" they have gotten some decent Live cards on their roster (such as Trout, Rendon, etc.) so Live (of all varieties) is the natural place they end up. When they can't find any Live ones they also do Bronze. But, if given a choice, they would pick Live every time.

See my post about "Top 10 reasons you should be playing Live tournaments" --- come on people, LIVE is where it's at!

The one type that I generally avoid with any of my teams (with rare exceptions) is Open tournaments --- since all mine are FTP, we just don't match up well against the whales out there.

I had my best day yesterday! Won a Bronze 32, 3 Bronze 16-mans, 2nd in the Daily Early Silver, 2nd in two Silver 32s!

The Frisco Friendlies play lots of silver dailies and 32s. The Belltown Bums play lots of bronze 16/32s and some cap stuff. The Twitch.tv skepskepskeps play a bit of bronze 16/32s and just started gold 32s and the dailies.

It would be nice to have a signature or something in game where I could stick my twitch stuff. I realize having it in the name is kind of lame, but I'd like my opponents to know I'm streaming their game if we're deep in something.

Also, I've been trying to change my names/logos but the changes don't stick even after submitting them and having them accepted. I think there might be an issue wherein you can't register changes to your name/logo while signed up for or playing in a tournament. The Frisco Friendlies and Belltown Bums both reverted to their old names and now are using default logos (gross).

Great fun though.

Trying to figure out how openers work. I want a guy to pitch exactly the first inning of every game. Cannot select Opener as primary role so I've got primary role set to "None specified" and secondary role set to "Opener". This results in them either not pitching at all or pitching a couple games here and there (and I don't think they're opening). Any advice would be appreciated.

Have you got anyone in your rotation set as a follower? That might be the key here. To do that, right click on their name and select "Set Game Strategy" and check the "Use As Follower" option.

To me it underscores the random meaninglessness of the playoff systems in professional sports.

That statistics support that, too.

But when >I< win a Bo7 128, it demonstrates enormous skill and personal superiority. Right?

Or. Maybe not.

Side question for devs:
Do you suppose it would be possible to use the tourney system for grudge matches?

Imagine a best-of-99 series for the two best Perfect records annually for the Big Stick Trophy...

I mean, it's true that it's random, but that's also why it's entertaining.

Right now I just spam the silver and bronze 32s with an occasional 16. The daily ones aren't worth locking up a spot all day for. Maybe if iron ever has tournaments I will look into those. Usually end up with a dozen packs a day which is worth like 2000 points to me lol. It's a complete toss up whether you make the finals or lose in the first round with all the teams so close but I'm sure some people who are actually looking at the results can get some marginal edge. I get too annoyed at having to download everyones logo each time to open them.

Spamming the queues is definitely the way to go as far as prizes are concerned, but I like the bigger sweat of the dailies and weeklies. It is frustrating though, having to lock up two spots on my silver team all day long (the two dailies fill up so early). There's got to be a better system than capping tournaments at 3. I've suggested no cap on dailies/weeklies but a cap on queues. An alternative suggestion is no cap on # of tournaments entered, but a cap on # of tournaments played in a day. This would shift the focus from the queues to the dailies/weeklies.

Thanks again to mrbucket, my guy is opening and on fire.
