9B.6.4.1. Battle Assignments - Double elimination bracket
Comments about this discussion:
Started
As far as I know there was only 1 Unicon where we used a double elimination bracket (Unicon 17 in Montréal), and it took a super long time. In my opinion it is better to go with a simple bracket, but with more riders (8 instead of 4, 16 instead of 8). What do you think?
Comment
From an audience and organizer perspective, I like simple bracket better.
Comment
Agreed.
Comment
Definitely single bracket! Noone, like really noone understood what was going on in Montréal with that double elimination bracket.
Comment
Single bracket for sure, it was easy to realize it was a mistake at Unicon 17. Additionally, riders don't have that many trick so everything is already bit a of a copy of a copy with prelim + battles, adding more battles doesn't help.
Comment
Looks like we all agree. Let's make this a proposal.

@Mark, this would also be you who needs to make this a proposal.

Thanks for preparing it, I already created the other discussion to a proposal which includes this too. Currently waiting for a review.
