Should Grand Arena adopt a Repechage System?

Definition of repechage. : a trial heat (as in rowing) in which first-round losers are given another chance to qualify for the semifinals

Reckon that winners and losers should be re-seeded each round.
If player wins 2x should be better result than players who lose 2 times in tournament. Repechage is common for round robins. Means 1st round should become a trial round for re-seeding. Wins can also be determined by total banners as well as wins. Fairest system for all and 1st round is a trial round for seeding. Essential to keeping player base happy as can have more motivation to place higher by the end.
That's how it's done for Olympics. Have trials first round, which is a Worldwide format.

    That is exactly how it is based.
    3-0 - 1 player gets top prize
    2-1 - 3 players (2-4) get second prize
    1-2 - 3 players (5-7) get 3rd prize
    0-3 - 1 player gets a bag of rocks

    The final record is all that matters, the path doe not. You can 1 loss can be your first battle or your last, you get the same prize.
  • This is not a true round Robin and the addition of this seems to overly complicate the system. They seem to have made this system to be more simple and straightforward.

    All players dont play each other, which is the definition of a round robin.
  • okay, thanks very much
    essentially what I have been looking for all this time
  • It is not included in game, and Kyno has answered a question none of you were able to
  • Starlord, that wasn't fair play, the fact that I am on the Forum searching for information does not warrant that kind of treatment.
    And I don't have to tell you or anyone else how deep my dedication to the game goes, I will not question yours, only your ethics.
  • Never said reward were unbalanced or that I do not enjoy GA, I love it, just leave it at that, and sorry for defending myself to you.
  • GA is awesome and any change to the system would be moving backwards instead of forwards. It’s GP based as far as I can tell. Some players focus their entire rosters for PvE and Raids. Some like myself focus our entire rosters for PvP. I don’t complain for HSTR to be nerfed so I can place higher, I accept that my style of play means I’m effective in other areas of the game instead. Expect it to be difficult when you face PvP minded players and rosters in a PvP event and be happy with free stuff you didn’t have to pay for or use crystal refreshes to farm. I’m happy with the free stuff, my word,
    I’ve 6*d two new mods with it and tomorrow at the finish I’ll 6* another 2. Look at it as something to work up to and perhaps, now that we can make mod sets, build some sets with PvP in mind to help a more focused PvE roster compete.
