What do you mean by more than half? You are saying if no one goes 5-3 that you win? I hope that is not the case with just 8 games. Should have made nine if that is the case. If a great doubles team gets to play at a 50% rate and win a tourney with only 8 games per team they are playing --seems a bit too easy to me. Much more difficult to play for a 5-3 record vs playing for a 50% record.
That is what it meant. It means that you have to go 5-3 against us. If no one reaches 5-3, I think you can say that a doubles team is pretty good. That means the best team against them went 4-4. So far we have lost only 8 games in 5 maps. If that isn't dominant, I don't know what is. There is only 1 team with a winning record against us. And they are 3-2. If they can win 2 more, they'll be the tournament winners it looks like.
That is my point--you are a dominant doubles team--you should be able to go 50% against most teams--especially on your maps--thus I think it was too easy to win your own tourney. I would have suggested at least nine games against each team making it above 50% if I had read the rules when I signed up. I would suggest that if you do it again. No doubt you are a much better doubles team than my team and probably the best in this tourney==you should have made it harder for you to win the tourney.
I have now ran six tourneys where it was me against the field. I made it very tough for me to win because if I were to win I wanted it to be a great win, not just a tourney win on something I should be able to do. So far out of six I have won none and my winning percentage was over 65%. I am pretty sure if you took a consensus of good dubs teams they will win at better than sixty percent and against other good teams they would win at over 50% if they are considered good.
Like I said, no doubt how good of a dubs team you are, but make it a little harder for you to win next time. Even if you do not win this one.
With our team having no chance to be better than fifty percent there is no reason to send us any more games--thanks for hosting
