21:17:19 <gamemanj> Well, I said "Insert Name Here", then...
21:18:41 <gamemanj> then whoever it was (I vaguely recall the name "oren", but I could be wrong) wrote "I. N. Here", presumably so it sounded like "the mad scientist in here"

21:53:20 <hppavilion[1]> Clearly, if we're assuming that, given 4 teams A, B, C, D where A plays B to yield J and C plays D to yield K, then J plays K to yield V
21:54:30 <hppavilion[1]> If we're using that logic (which is obviously flawed due to rock-paper-scissors-style games)
21:55:23 <hppavilion[1]> We put the teams in an order in a 1-dimensional list (presumably either at random or based on previous metrics)
21:55:43 <hppavilion[1]> We call one team L, and it is initially the first team in the list
21:56:34 <hppavilion[1]> Then, repeating until the list is null, pop a team and play it against L. The winner is saved as L and the loser is discarded
21:56:53 <hppavilion[1]> Once the list is null, L is the overall victor of the tournament
21:57:58 -!- MoALTz has quit (Quit: Leaving).
21:59:26 <hppavilion[1]> (essentially, if we don't require that the participating teams be partially ordered- which we clearly don't due to bracket tournaments- then we can do this MUCH more efficiently)
22:04:57 <gamemanj> The team at the top of the list?
22:05:06 <gamemanj> Also, this means all teams have to play against L.

22:05:57 <gamemanj> On the one hand, this means a minimal number of matches are played - on the other, can this be parallelized?
22:06:41 <int-e> the bracket plays the same number of games... it *is* the parallelized version
22:07:14 <int-e> every game eliminates one player or team after all, so you need n-1 games to get from n to 1.
22:09:36 <int-e> (bonus points if you find the connection to binary trees, and the number of their leafs and internal nodes)
22:14:48 <gamemanj> ...so basically, your system is a step backwards unless you only have one playfield.
22:14:57 <gamemanj> There is also the secondary issue of wear levelling.
22:15:08 <hppavilion[1]> int-e: I don't think that the bracket plays less games...
22:15:26 <gamemanj> For the defeater of L, this will be their first game.
22:15:46 <gamemanj> The bracket doesn't play less games, but it doesn't play more either because each bracket eliminates a team.
22:15:51 <hppavilion[1]> gamemanj: Yeah, but since when has real-world stuff mattered to the NFL or FIFA or the NBA
22:16:15 <hppavilion[1]> This system plays n-1 games, where n is the number of teams...
22:16:59 <hppavilion[1]> In a bracket... the winning team must play all the way to the bottom... but there are less steps...
22:17:23 <hppavilion[1]> If we have 8 teams, then 7 games are played in a season
22:17:33 <hppavilion[1]> gamemanj: It'd be easiest with an example, I think
22:17:44 <gamemanj> The brackets would be, as an example, [[A,B],[C,D]]
22:17:54 <gamemanj> A and B fight, C and D fight in parallel.
22:18:05 <gamemanj> The result of these two is A* and B*.
22:18:12 <hppavilion[1]> Using a bracket... each of the 8 teams is paired with another, so 4 games are played in the first round... then 2 in the next... then the finals... so 7
22:18:17 <gamemanj> A* and B* are equally worn out.
22:18:33 <gamemanj> You then have [A*, B*], and the game is resolved.
22:18:52 <gamemanj> In your system, we start with [A, B], as per usual.
22:19:09 <gamemanj> This is because then they go on, but worn down,
22:19:28 <gamemanj> So then [A-, C] happens ('-' because A is now worn down and C isn't)
22:19:50 <gamemanj> And thus who wins is highly order-dependant.
22:20:07 <gamemanj> Either way, 3 games are played.
22:20:20 <hppavilion[1]> But brackets are still broken because of non-transitive winning
22:20:44 <gamemanj> I suppose. It's less broken than sending a worn out football team against a completely fresh one, though.
22:20:52 <hppavilion[1]> gamemanj: Also, I think we assume that there's time between games
22:21:13 <gamemanj> If we eliminate the possibility of team morale and team weardown, then yes, the "list" approach is the best.
22:21:25 <gamemanj> (Though it cannot be parallelized as such without changing it intrinsically.)
22:21:37 <hppavilion[1]> Yes it is, unless you can parallelize, but you can't because all games have to be shown
22:22:02 <hppavilion[1]> (if you play multiple bracket games at once, then your ratings go down because you can't watch multiple games simultaneously)

23:06:54 <hppavilion[1]> "You have been found guilty of conspiring to solicit the incitement of attempted cheque fraud. The penalty is death." -- a real sentence that could technically said by a judge under US law, assuming that certain laws are interpreted in an uncommon (but still acceptable) way
23:08:07 <hppavilion[1]> Because conspiring to commit a crime, soliciting a crime, inciting a crime, and attempting a crime are all the same level as the crime (so paying a hitman is still a felony. Attempts may be treated less badly, but they're still felonies)
23:08:58 <hppavilion[1]> And under the Felony-Murder rule, if you kill someone (whether or not you intend to) in the process of committing a crime, that is counted as premeditated murder (though the common interpretation requires that the crime be violent- but it isn't shared by everyone)
23:09:47 <hppavilion[1]> So if, by conspiring to solicit the incitement of attempted cheque fraud, a person dies (in this case, we're assuming it's by the cheque fraud, not by the conspiring), you can be held liable
