Are the draws truely random, or random with eleminating factors?  Ie after fighting fighter X will I possibly meet them again in the first round, because in a truely random draw I might, or am I not able to meet them again?

The pairings in PhaseII are completely random.  I have a script with makes the random pairs then runs the challenge script on each pair.
 
When the top 16 are picked, the top guy will fight number 16, the 2nd will fight 15, and so forth.  Assuming the top 4  always win, they will be the last 4 in the semi finals and 1 will fight either 3 or 4.   I have to look that up.  But that's the standard way to do single elimination tourneys such as professional tennis.  We just aren't seeding.
 
But, nothing stops you from challenging the guy in the sparring room because he cheated!  That is, if you both signed up for sparring too.

Quote from Taylor on Feb 14th, 2006, 1:26pm:
Competition matches are always to disarm I believe.

You can speak to K'Hare about other types of matchs, but remember what happens in the ring affects the game. A gash in your arm from a first blood fight stays with you Wink

And a death match... well one of you wont be bringing thier characters back to betleH next year Wink

Does this include our Joined Trill players with symbiots?
 
Meaning does the symbiot die with the fighter, or with the host dead is an attempt to save the symbiot allowed.?

So if it's completely random it is possible (though unlikely) for example to be drawn against the same person to be drawn against the same person 7 times in a row.
 
As for trills dying, I would imagine it would depend on the blow.  Most likely unless the symbiot itself was hurt or a new host could be found then the symbiot would live, but probably wouldn't come back next year.

Are all the first round matches a Disarm match? No First Blood or Strike?

The tourney matches have always been disarm.  One year K'rahl lost his match against ta'pez because pezzle got him mad and he threw his weapon into pezzie's chest.

then there's the whole point that nobody would fight in a tourney on first strike because the equivalent of First Strike is flipping a coin.  Whereas Disarm is a long arduous process.

First strike would have a more random outcome than sparring or disarm.
 
Maybe someone can dig up the URL to where I talk a little about how the match types work.  But Disarm is supposed to be a serious fight until you drop thing.  Sparring makes it easier to hit but you last longer.  First blood is essentially first critical hit (different hits do different amounts of 'damage') and first strike is just the first one to hit when the other misses.
 
Note that FS is not toally random.  K'Hare vs. Taj'vl 10 times should favor K'Hare but Taj'vl would win more times that way than disarm.  K'Hare should win more because his chance to hit and chance to block is higher... or so one would expect.

So are the winners of the Phase 3 match the ones who will move on to the second round? Sorry if I'm asking this in the wrong place

Think of it as like the Olympic Ice Hockey tournament.  We're in the round robin stage now, where we each have a series of fights and the top 16 based on Win/Loss ratio advances to the sudden death knock out round.
 
Currently we've each fought two fights in the round robin round, and we have five more to go (I believe).
 
Those top 16 that advance then fight one match and the 8 who win those matches move onto the next round and they all fight one match and the 4 who win move onto another round until the final is just two people and the winner of that gets the wine, women and tribbles.
 
The very first match on Day 0 was a qualifying match, and not really part of the tournament proper.  Like the English World Cup football team had to qualify for the World Cup, that first match was us qualifying for the tournament.

Right.
 
One more time.
 
Seven matches in Phase II.  Seven times there will be random pairings.   Everyone will fight 7 times.  We don't expect writeups since we are doing one a day for 7 days.
 
Next week, after 7 matches with everyone the top 16   (click the win button on the stat board) will move forward.
