Sandstrom Posted December 6, 2017 Report Share Posted December 6, 2017 We've had some discussions in our team regarding the seeding system to the ECL playoffs. I just want to share our thoughts and hopefully start an interesting discussion. I'll keep it as short as I possibly can.. Problem The seeding system to the playoffs is based only on P/G (Points per game). Where you end up in the group doesn't matter at all. Suggestion Teams should be seeded by group placement first and secondly by P/G. Example LITE has 5 groups. The top teams in each group should be seeded 1-5, decided by P/G. The #2 in each group should be seeded 6-10, decided by P/G and so on... 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandstrom Posted December 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2017 (edited) Here's a clear problem with the current system. Look at Group 5 in LITE. Nordic Eagles finished #3 in the group – Seeded #16 to the playoff – They faced seed #17 in the first flayoff game. RAKETTIPUTKET finished #4 in the group – Seeded #11 to the playoffs – They faced seed #22 in the first flayoff game. EDIT: I didn't know about the missing game report. This was clearly not the case.

There is a game report (WO) missing in the system, resulting in RAKETTIPUTKET only having 17 GP in the standings. In reality, they got an additional 2 points and ended up as the #3 in the group and was then seeded #12 to the playoffs, facing sead #21. Nordic Eagles, finishing #4 in the group, was seeded as team #16 in the playoffs - that is correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for making that clear! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
