split the seed/ranking/etc discussion into a separate thread so that this one can simply discuss the upsets. first time wielding the mod stick like that, hopefully i didn't botch anything.

the split/new thread can be found here.

Wingnut (44) upsets WHARF 2 THA BRIDGE (21). Wingnut draws fellow upsetter shraeye in the next round, so we have either a 44 or 53 seed through to the 3rd round over in the gardens division.

Even more impressive because in my experience WHARF 2 THA BRIDGE is better than his rank shows because he will often go weeks or months without playing. Then again, maybe that rust in part caused the upset? Regardless, props to Wingnut.

I just lost in the second round of the Chapel division to wesphys (38 seed).  As a 6 seed, I believe that makes me the highest seed to have lost yet!  At least I can be proud of something  :'(

Once you get to Round 2, nearly everyone has a mean skill at least in the 40+ range or defeated someone with a mean skill in that range, which makes luck much more able to overcome the skill gap.

I got bounced as a 3 seed in Round 2 last year.

In the 2nd round in the Thief division Simon (DK) (50) will play against Zappie (victory) (47). So far the match with the worst ranked best ranked player.

Uh, First got knocked out in the Chapel division. That's gotta be like a MASSIVE upset.

From what I can tell -Stef- is still in?

No, the player, "First." Not Stef.

Yeah, wow.

By far the closest I came to getting knocked out last year was playing against First.  He, if not for a very stupid and totally avoidable mistake on his part, would have taken me out.  Great player.

Though mith is a much much better player than the rankings would suggest, so there's some bad luck there, too.

This one got missed somehow in the Thief Division:
http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=5689.msg148619#msg148619

alex/werrew (52) over CopperCopperr (13)

alex/werrew has since moved through to the third round and will be playing lespeutere (4) or secret tunnel (29) soon.

In total there were 33 upsets (defined as any lower seed defeating any higher seed) in Round 1, with 7 of them being in the top 64 overall (or in the top 16 in their bracket).

Chapel: 8 (1 in top 64)
Gardens: 9 (2 in top 64)
Thief: 9 (2 in top 64)
Witch: 7 (2 in top 64)

This was a no-show, so it should not count for any contest. I am not even sure if I would call that an upset.

I am reporting the LowPants (49) over Titandrake (16) upset before anyone else does.

On Iso LowPants is level 19, but his/her play felt more like the mid 30s.

And he's in the witch division. My confirmation bias senses are tingling.

So, 3, 4, 5, and 6 all got knocked out on the second match of the tournament. I would say at this rate, Chapel is the upset division.

With a 4-2 win over Wingnut, I just became the lowest seed advancing to the third Round at #53!
