Re: Am I the only one who LOVED the seeding system this year?
Only one other person has disagreed with the system and I will be the second. In what world do you get/deserve awards for losing. In a game you either win or don't. The way it was last year and years before the was still ranking points for ties with win/loss records. Yet I see on this thread that maybe we should give the losers more points to show that they tried.
Be honest everyone. Did you not find that the elimination rounds were a lot more interesting and competitive than the qualifying matches? Not just because of the teams playing but because we all knew that you had to win.
I guess that I am tired of the "we need to make everyone feel good" approach to life. If we don't work hard, compete hard and strive to be the best then why should we expect to get rewarded? If I am getting rewarded for getting something I didn't work for then I don't feel right about it.
In the working world you will not be rewarded because you showed up. If you don't produce you will be pounding the streets looking for another job.

Now, I either need to convince Mike Martus to start the webhug early (or move it back 1 hour), skip the webhug, miss the first part of the presentation, or just clone myself. - Andy Baker [more]
