Week 136: JUDGEMENT NIGHT III - (Twitch VOD)

All right!
This weekend we kick off the second Showdown Tournament with two nights in a row. Here’s a few links you may or may not care about.

Announcement Video - Posted this last week.
Tournament Standings - Nothing’s happened yet!
Predictions ← This is probably the most relevant one

Pay special mind to that last link for the predictions up there. They will close a bit before the show goes live on Friday. Unfortunately since this is a round robin tournament Challonge does not accept predictions. It’s piss easy to set up though so I did it myself with a simple google form. This means you can’t easily see how much points someone has gathered so I added a spreadsheet to help you calculate that if you want your predictions to make sense for whatever reason (lol)

Week 137: FIGHT! - (Twitch VOD)
Week 138: Knockout - (Twitch VOD)

Yup, that’s two updates in one post, just in case there’s confusion. The below also includes the results of both nights.

After two nights we have the following standings

It’s too early to really say anything. It’s just two rounds after all. The first mathematical eliminations can only happen after Round 4, After all. What’s interesting with Block A is that Fomore ranks so low. This is calculated automatically due to tie breakers. It’s why Harmony is still ranked 3 despite also taking an upset loss against Johnny, but she has the tie-breaker over Bobson.

With Block B it’s more clear-cut. While there have been some surprising results, such as the destruction of Thunder by Mr. Shakedown and KAG being this dominant (I was personally sure he’d do well, but I didn’t predict this.) However, we’re still only two rounds in.

Here’s the current standings of the predictions.

You can also look at the tournament on Challonge. If you are reading this after the tournament has progressed past the first two rounds be aware that the following link contains spoilers: Challonge page

Week 139: With An Armbar!

Tournament Standings (Don’t click this if you’re reading this for the first time after the Tournament has progressed further.)

We’re entering the third round of the second ShowdownTournament. So far there’s no danger of anyone getting elimminated and we’ve had some upsets already so anything goes. But depending on what happens this week the stakes might be higher next week at the PPV.

Here’s the card for the next show.

#1-4 Showdown Tournament Block A - Round 3
Bobson Dugnutt (2) vs. Cocademon (0)
Austin Ramon (0) vs. Harmony (2)
Not Your God (4) vs. Fomore (2)
Johnny Fuckyou (2) vs. Angus McMutton (4)

#5 Singles Match
Grace Thoruson vs. Dash Rendar

#6 Hellweight No. 1 Contender Match
Ricc 2 Thicc vs. Kayu Zakisaka

#7-10 Showdown Tournament Block B - Round 3
Abby Lawrence (2) vs. Cock Thunder (0)
Family Man (0) vs. Kill Anime Girls (4)
Sgt. Sprinkles (2) vs. Harley Havik (2)
Sapp Ledesma (2) vs. Mr. Shakedown (4)

#11 Legion Tag Championships
The Fun Gang vs. Pineapple Pizza

Week 139: With An Armbar - (Twitch Vod)

No one actually won with an armbar

Tournament Standings (Don’t click this if you’re reading this for the first time after the Tournament has progressed further.)

All right, in a Round Robin Tournament with seven rounds statistical eliminations come at the earliest in round 4 and there’s a few people here, of course, who might lose all chances of winning if they lose another match. These people are Austin Ramon, Cocademon, Thunder and Family Man. It’s a bit surprising for me to see the former three in this position but I guess it had to hit someone. In addition to them having to win every single match to stand a chance there’s also tie-breakers to consider.

Austin was beat by NYG, Harmony and Angus. NYG would have to lose every single match going forward for Austin to remain a viable contender.
Cocademon was beat by Fomore, Angus and Bobson and has a little more leeway but he HAS to beat NYG.
Thunder was beat by Mr. Shakedown, Sgt. Sprinkles and Abby Lawrence. Easy, just win every match and somehow Shakedown has to lose them all.
Family Man, well, he’s been beat by Abby,Harley and KAG. He has to win every match going forward while KAG has to lose them all. Sounds doable.

But that’s not all. Fomore is also in Danger. NYG has a tie-breaker over them. If NYG wins his next match and Fomore loses then Fomore is out too because they can’t catch up anymore in terms of points.
The same is true for Sapp Ledesma. Mr. Shakedown has the tie-breaker over him. So in order for Sapp to have a chance at winning he needs to win every match from now on and Shakedown has to lose at least one.
KAG also has a tie-breaker over Harley Havik who is much in the same position.

So in summary, we have the following people who might be eliminated next week:
Austin Ramon (0) has to win all of his matches and NYG (6) has to lose all of his.
Cocademon (0) has to win all of his matches and Bobson (4) has to lose at least one.
Cock Thunder (0) has to win all of his matches and Abby (4) has to lose at least one while Mr. Shakedown (6) can’t get another win.
Family Man (0) has to win all of his matches and Abby (4) has to lose at least one while KAG (6) can’t get another win.
Fomore (2) is eliminated he loses and if NYG (6) wins one more match.
Sapp Ledesma (2) is eliminated if he loses if Mr. Shakedown (6) wins one more match.
Harley Havik (2) is eliminated if he loses and if KAG (6) wins one more match

And finally, here’s the standings of the predictions. 24 out of 56 matches have taken place, that’s not even half so anything still goes here.
