    I think the idea is that we schedule each match individually. Depending on the number of teams we might do different formats as well.

    My sword and hammer are available for hire. I live on the west coast if it matters. Exactly how will we know when the battles will take place?

    Hey there everybody!
    So, thinking in the planning phase, I'm still confused as to what everybody thinks THESE elements should be:
    • Players: Anywhere from 3-6? Contrary, you seemed to have started the 3-man trend, heh. On the other hand, 3 people feels a bit restrictive...
    • Game Type: General consensus seems to be RCTF per Geti. Sounds like the best choice, but I'm not sure if we'd be doing this game mode with or without builders. I personally want all classes. Also, if it's Rapid, we'd need to do a "Best of X" format, I'd say 5.
    • Tournament Organization: I believe the while Pyramid format would be more exciting, Round Robin would be more fair--On second thought, we could do a two-stage tourney: First stage is round robin, of which the best X amount of teams move on; Second stage is pyramid, "the finals" if you will.
    Nixito, I'd like the date to be a few weeks from now, and using this would make finding an acceptable time much easier.

    Also
    Spit and I thought of exactly the same thing!

    We'd also need a formal team-app thread, shouldn't be too hard :)
    That also means Team Names :OOOOO MAKE THEM COOL AND AWESOME

    Builders with such small number of players will be beyond frustrating

    Builders are a must. They're such a huge part of the game. There should also be a pre-build time.

    @Carver;

    I kinda like the 3 player trend. The dynamic for that would be interesting, and everyone would really have to work together, but on the other hand, 3 players is a small enough number that one mega skilled fucker could slaughter the whole team. Nice balance I think. I'd be fine with whatever though.

    Builders

    Not at all bothered about them.

    Pyramid Structure

    All in favour of this.

    I'd like to see multiple types for each match, a best out of 3 perhaps? :)

    RCTF
    CTF
    RTDM
    Teams of 5 or 6 seems ideal personally (Harder to get together but 6 is the norm for most competitive online games, it also allows nice diversity (2 archers, 1 builder, 3 knights, the ability to have the 2 archers and still be decent on knights is important, as the change from 1->2 archers is amazing).

    The best of 3 allows the highlight of the different classes and shows a variety among the participants:
    CTF - Ability to catch flag, that's all that really matters is getting there and using what you have important, builders are important but so are knights/archers, limited lives added in if it gets too long?
    RCTF - Focus on mix of quick building, small premade map agreed upon for all that is even for both teams used universally throughout the tourney?
    RTDM - No builders, probably the funnest, just knights and archers (no bombs?)

    Personal opinion anyway.

    As for team names, gonna have to go with the One Eyed Wonder Weasels (or the Backstreet Boys), they're the only two choices.

    Haha, this is why I ask the question so directly. Maybe a poll is in order?
    Also, I seriously would like a Two-stage Tournament; You get a sense for competition, and I like people being able to participate, not losing and just watching :/

    i have solution for a tournament draw that enables teams to play multiple times in a standard knockout fashion, or pools/round robin depending on teams, if you are interested.

    Round robin for prelims, then have quarters semis and finals?

    (Also seriously having 3 different types would be nice for some difference in there, doing all R TDM or RCTF sounds like it'd be annoying, you'd see the same strategies more or less).

    christmas holidays are no good, as people will be using the time to be with families. We need to see when most people are on.
