Since it's the final day, what would happen if two people did not have their match?

But what about Pokemon? Would it be a 6-0 win for Marethyu? If so then it would not be fair if Marethyu and someone else tied.
Round 3 matchups are now up. You have until July 28th to get these matches done.
One thing to note here: The only player who, as far as I can tell, is completely unable to qualify for knockouts at this stage is Shocari. That being said, under no circumstances will I accept players at the bottom of the tables losing their matches on purpose, as it's unfair to everyone else in the group to give one player a free ride to knockouts. As such, I will require replays from all bottom-of-the-table players for their matchups to enforce this rule. If I do suspect any player has thrown a match on purpose, the match decision will be reversed.
Have at it.

I win 6-0 vs. Jeydis. Gave KoL the replay as well.
If that's the reason behind your idea, I'd much rather use the RNG.
The group stage was to replicate the World Cup theme and nothing more. At the end of the day, you've given me all the reason I need to stick with the RNG if you think punishing a player for coming second in their group is a good idea, and that's the end of that.

If you are going to replicate the World Cup then Luckii's idea would make sense. Since in the World cup the winner of Group A battles the runner up of Group B and so on.
While that is how the World Cup is run maybe have one side of the brackets be the first placers and the other the second placers then have the best of the firsts vs the best of the seconds, just to rule out the "disadvantage" for second placers. Just an idea if the World Cup format seems unfair to some people

I just wanted to point out that if KoL wanted the tournament to be like the World Cup then Luckii's idea should be used.
I just think that if you are going to implement a World Cup-style tournament type then you have to go through with the first-plays-second matchups in the next round because the whole idea of having a group stage with points and a points difference system is rendered null and void if you don't. It doesn't reward superior play.

I think that are not really any advantages/disadvantages because the difference between first and second will ( probably ) be only by one win. Since we are not doing it we might as well change the name of the tournament -.-

I have a question to Kol. How are you doing with replays? I'm just wondering if most people have given you their replay or not.
I've gotten quite a large number of replays, I think I've been given one for almost every single match that's taken place so far. Odds are I'll have to categorize them in some manner so that it's easier to sort through them for people wanting to watch the matches.

That's some really great news! It should be really nice to see!
Just wondering something is there a mistake for Group A? Because through the comments it sounds like in the first 2 rounds Ekans won both yet it says he lost one. Also it says Rex won with no Pokemon.
Ah okay ^^; It just seemed a little odd that's all
