There were 32 players on day 2. After two rounds there would be 8 undefeated players. So the last 8 players would be 1-1.

Kennie went 1-1 in the top 32 to make the top 16 where he ended up winning.

TBH I don't see how you can complain about something you didn't even attend. All your complaints are based off hearsay of players who are probanly just butt hurt they didn't win.

Where are people getting that there were more than 32 people in the final event? From what I've been reading here and on facebook, there were only 32 people in the finals. Can someone direct me to a post from someone that was actually there that confirms that there were more than 32 people in the finals?

I was there. Top cut was 32 players.

Why on earth would they do two rounds of swiss if there were exactly 32 players?

I don't know. I wasn't paying attention to the finals very much. I assumed it was due to logistics. They were renting space and had certain time constraints.

Thank you very much

Hasn't it always been 2 rounds of Swiss and then cut to tops 16? I was at World's last year and I thought that's how they did it there too? I only played battle royales, so I'm not really sure, but that's what I assumed.

The top 32 onward is supposed to be single elimination. I think they even promised this in their Nationals announcement. Of course when I search for the announcement on Heroclix.com, it is nowhere to found on the WK site.

That was because they let 34 players into the championship, due to a math error.

What about the previous National's or the previous years World's?

We give more weight to the things that support our opinion and discount the things that don't.

"Oh, they misspelled their own name!? Just goes to show you I was right!"

"Oh, people still had a good time? Well, that means it was in spite of WK not because of them..."

No idea. Better ask the troll king himself.

I don't know what that means.

Are there posts from previous years here that mention how the events were run before as far as the finals are concerned? It'd be nice to get all the facts before forming an opinion on whether or not a player was actually screwed over with having 2 rounds of Swiss and then cutting to top 16.

I have not heard a single complaint from anyone who made the top 32. I don't think it was an issue with them at all.

Troll King is a reference to the previous RA (the new RA is Chris FYI) Brian Rupp. Some people had some issues with him, others did not... Go figure that could happen on Realms

So that means, if it was single elimination (which is what I was told by a wizkids rep) then I would've never lost to Kennie in top 16 and I would be the champion! I vote for an asterisk next to his championship title!
EDIT: Again sorry...found email and it didn't say what format so I was insane for thinking single elim.
It was to me only for the fact I was told there was no swiss and planned my flights accordingly. Granted I didn't make it far enough for that to matter but that could've been a $400 change (the only tickets left on the late flight was $400 more expensive)
