ya and it sux

You know, I’ve been thinking of this “ET, fix the damn bracket sorting mechanism” paradigm lately, and it seems almost impossible task now. You can’t possibly sort people by number of medals (which is necessary due “no-tie bracket” idea) AND by player’s account.

Look at current Dom rankings and bracket numbers. Top-5 brackets have ~100 alts capacity (bumuming 20 is max). 130 alts have over 5 medals. Let’s bumume 1/3 of them are inactive this week (which is about right). This leaves us with 100 alts in 100 spots – not a huge number of options, right? Now, if my alts currently have 7-6-5-6-7-6 medals, and only 5 brackets available, each active alt must be sorted into separate bracket. If you multiply this by the number of players with 5+ alts, you’d see this is virtually impossible to satisfy each one.
