    I like Jerome's guidelines and am enjoying the event even with fantastic movies being knocked out by crap ones.

    I'm fully on board with that, boss!

    And I wouldn't call any of the remaining 16 "crap", at all. Some of the eliminated 16 I would have preferred to see move on instead, true, but we're now in that time of the tournament when hard choices need to be made.

    My "crap" comment pertains to the whole tournament not necessarily just this last round. I'm still mourning earlier round knockouts.

    Me too. There's only a couple films left that I really enjoy. Hopefully one will make it to the finals, or at least close to it.

    Sorry Mae, you've probably said this before, but how do we know what films are up against what films in the next round?

    I have but I don't mind reiterating, I know it's important. Here's my post about the process from earlier:

    Sure, no worries, it is something that I've answered before, in this very thread, but I don't mind going over it. It's just a simple system I'm using throughout the tournament. Just in general #1 against #32 or #64 doesn't seem very fair. This is how, from my understanding, World Cup brackets work. It's not the best against the worst, because what's the point?

    The system I'm using is based on seeding across brackets or groups. In this round we have 16 groups, so I seeded the top 16 as the first spot in each of the groups, and then the bottom 16 as the second spot. It's easy and fair.

    Here was my post from a few months back describing this process with 192 entries (after the first round which is random):

    Quote Originally Posted by mae View Post
    Not sure if I follow, and maybe I'm just not explaining it right. It's similar to World Cup seeding, from what I understand (I'm not big on soccer), but here is a visual:



    So Round 1 is purely random. Then for Round 2 we are left with 192 films and they're all ranked by the vote percentage and then seeded into 32 groups of six from 1 to 192 thus. Fair and simple.
    I hope that makes sense! And you're welcome, it helps me in these dark times as well.
    For these final rounds the process is the same. With the Octofinals we had eight groups, so the top eight films were listed first in each group and then the bottom eight were listed as second in each one, from first to eighth both times. So #1 went up against #9, and so forth.

    Here with the Quarterfinals again it's the same. We have four groups, so #1 will go up against #5. Makes sense, I hope!

    And of course, the seeding itself is just determined by combining the vote percentage the film receives each round. So if in Round 1 it received 50% of the vote and in Round 2 it received 100%, its cumulative percentage will be 150% (out of possible 200%) and it will be ranked accordingly. In cases where films have the exact same percentage, they're seeded alphabetically.

    Well, at least I've seen 3 out of the final 4.

    The stats continue to mystify me. I hate seeing two great movies eliminated when they received more of the vote than one that moves on, especially when I like them both better than the film that moved on.

    I'm sure they are. I just never got around to Stand By Me because I haven't read The Body, and I haven't seen Aliens because I really wasn't blown away by Alien.
