Polyphony Digital GT4 Photomode Tournament

It seems to me that the simplest solution to the whole PS/2.0/no PS thing is to set it up so that when a match has two diffrent levels of PS, the lowest level of PS applies.

EG: USER 1 (no PS) vs. USER 17 (2.0)
PS ALLOWED: no PS

EG2: USER 2 (PS) vs. USER 12 (PS)
PS ALLOWED: PS

Must say I disagree. This would sort of give veto on the rules to those who don't want to use PS at all. Maybe in cases of coflicting PS levels the level would be chosen randomly. Or use the third level neither of the competitors want to use.

EDIT:

💡 < Idea

If Treefingers wants to select the PS level randomly when there are conflicting wishes between the two competitors there is a random generator that could do the job. It's fair, simple, verifiable, random and not open to manipulation by anobody. Works like this:

For example, in this first round Jacoja is paired with Brock. Jacoja wants to use 2.0 rules and Brock PMC rules.

You take the full forum names of these two and count the letters. If the sum is even the higher photosop rule wins, if not the lower wins. In this case jacoja06 + Brock5000 = 17 = not even = they use PMC rules. Spaces count as one letter.

Simple enough, people could figure it out themselves without even bothering TF with it. But of course this is only if a random method is used at all.

PMC PS overrides everything else, because its the basic rule for the main competition that most people enter.
I dont want to force someone to use 2.0 PS if they arent as good at it. That creates an unfair advantage for the more experienced ps'er. But the person using 2.0 ps would be fine using the PMC ps.
If there is an uneven number of people wanting no ps, then one of them is just going to have to use pmc ps.
When i match up the competitors i will try to randomly match up people with the same ps preference first, but there will be a few that i'll have to mix up.
It shouldnt be a problem. I just hope we have a nice even number of people at the beginning.

Awesome idea! 👍 Maybe this would wake me up to GT4 again

 

[Krame]

I can't wait for this to start. I think this is going to be really fun and make taking pics more intersting.

No more entries.

We have 36 entries for the tournament. After the first two rounds, we will have 9 competitors left, which will obviously complicate things a bit. We'll have to somehow cut it down to eight. Possibly with a round where all 9 competitors compete against each other, and whichever one has the least amount of votes in the poll is out. We could make that a phototravel round, but we'll have to have eight left, one way or another.
For now we just need to concentrate on the first round, and try to make this as fun as we can.
Matches and themes will be posted approximately 2 days from now.
Good luck to everyone!

Only because you will completely own them in the first match ... hopefully that isn't me.

Looking forward to this TF 👍

Edit: Ooh 4 days... that should be ok
