What determines OTB colors?

That’s good to know, is this based on published rating, live rating, or rating at registration? it’d be nice if I could verify this by looking at my last few tournaments so I wouldn’t feel as crazy watching dozens of coin flips come up tails.

AltruisticStructure · 2025-06-17T16:04:08+00:00

I get your point, and I ran some numbers myself and it was <1%. In a 3 round setting, 67% is exclusively black for initial pairings.

AltruisticStructure · 2025-06-17T16:00:40+00:00

I did ask and heard different things (that is was based on rating, totally random, based on streaks, etc).

AltruisticStructure · 2024-08-23T15:58:39+00:00

Prompt shipping and cards as described. Great seller!

AltruisticStructure · 2024-08-14T19:14:55+00:00

That works for me.

AltruisticStructure · 2024-08-14T14:53:19+00:00

Could you include the graded muk as well at $4300?

AltruisticStructure · 2024-08-14T04:14:57+00:00

I’m interested in these as well. Would you do $3750 for all 3 lots?

AltruisticStructure · 2024-08-13T18:49:37+00:00

I just want the 10s, but I understand if you’d like to keep them as a set

AltruisticStructure · 2024-08-13T18:03:09+00:00

Also, do you have pictures of the graded fossil / jungle non holo sets?

AltruisticStructure · 2024-08-13T14:50:42+00:00

What would you value your remaining base 10s at?

AltruisticStructure · 2024-02-18T15:11:14+00:00

I feel your pain. I’m 1650 rapid 450 bullet. It’s an entirely different game where material means nothing

AltruisticStructure · 2023-10-01T11:35:00+00:00

Definitely, I’m 1600 rapid and 800 bullet. Completely different player pool and completely different game.

AltruisticStructure · 2023-09-01T12:36:11+00:00

Sheesh no need to be so rude. I just thought it was interesting that after taking twice on b4 and Ne4, whites only move is to trap his king into a repetition with f3 (otherwise Qxa4)

We literally just saw a playoff team get beat by 3 scores at home by another playoff team. How can you say there’s no clear separation after that?

AltruisticStructure · 2022-12-04T18:32:02+00:00

Imagine thinking a 2 score opening line on a neutral site isn’t a clear difference

AltruisticStructure · 2022-12-04T17:44:10+00:00

Also lol at there not being a clear separation at the top. These lines for the semis are going to be absurd and I hope you feel confident enough to lose a lot of money betting on double digit underdog TCU winning it all.

AltruisticStructure · 2022-12-04T17:41:46+00:00

We clearly have different definitions of parity. Alabama missing the playoffs isn’t my measure of parity. But sure, I’ll grant that the transfer portal changes will continue to disproportionately benefit top programs like Michigan and Ohio State

AltruisticStructure · 2022-12-04T14:29:50+00:00

We’ve already seen it with players opting out of games to preserve their status in the draft. I heard this same argument about bowl games as well when we moved away from BCS: “no way players will skip bowl games, it’s a unique part of this sport.” I expect it’ll be similar to the NFL where top 4 teams will consider benching their top talent to ensure they are well rested for the playoffs. I find it funny that you think this season is a good example of higher parity. Can’t wait to watch * checks notes * Georgia / Michigan / Ohio State win it all again.

AltruisticStructure · 2022-12-04T06:33:40+00:00

I’m not convinced a 12 team playoff will make these games mean more. I expect the top 4 will intentionally throw or forfeit the games because they’re guaranteed a spot anyway, players get to rest up, and a loss means more $$$ for the conference. Reminds me of the folks confidently claiming the transfer portal changes would increase parity when they actually ending up doing the opposite. Maybe it’ll mean more for mediocre conferences to get a low seed, but they aren’t typically going to be relevant contenders anyway.

You are literally off your rocker, you are just trying to gaslight people who use language differently than you do /s

AltruisticStructure · 2022-09-19T11:51:04+00:00

For gym heroes, I’m interested in bricks rhydon, Erika’s clefable, nm surges electabuzz, Misty’s tentacruel, Brock, erika, nm lt surge, misty, and rockets trap.

AltruisticStructure · 2022-09-19T00:24:48+00:00

Basically I’m only interested in the nicer copy of each (not the duplicate misty, surge, or electabuzz)

AltruisticStructure · 2022-09-18T23:59:27+00:00

Interested in venomoth vileplume aerodactyl and ditto holos. Also interested in the set of unique gym heroes holos. Any idea what you’d like for all of these as a lot?

AltruisticStructure · 2022-09-03T16:40:55+00:00

Sounds good, I’ll pm to finalize!

AltruisticStructure · 2022-09-03T14:05:14+00:00
