    Going to wait for another 1-2 weeks for more signups until I post up the full standings for who plays who and when.

    Reason for the delay if to get more people to sign up, but also a lot of people are doing exams at the time so might be pushed off it. Signups are doing great so far.

    By the look of it i might split up the bronze-gold levels to one bracket and then the plat-masters to the other bracket,

    We currently have 8 Bronze-gold level players and 14 Plat-Master level players.


    If I can get 2 more plat-master level play I am gonna start putting together the brackets/rules/fixtures for this.

    Ok I may have dropped out of the last League attempt, mostly through teeth-grinding frustration at the game in general, but here I am still playing like an addled coke addict :)

    So I'll tentatively put my name down to balance the number of high/low level players:

    Throwing bronze player in with gold and plat in with masters seems pretty harsh, big jumps in quality. Maybe just cap it off at 24 and have 6 groups of 4 or something?

    well throwing wolves in with manchester united is pretty harsh too, but you gotta do it to have a league of any sort

    Baal you bastard!! i wanted to be the only random player! :p:p

    on another note, i think it should be like this

    master/plat/gold

    silver/bronze

    OR

    teams of 2 players, but 1v1 etc. match a master/plat with a silver/bronze or maybe 2 gold players together.

    3 points for a win. bo3 matches.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,812 ✭✭✭IRL_Sinister


    You're forgetting Diamond. There's also a MASSIVE skill difference between Gold and Diamond/Masters so putting them in a similar seed bracket is silly and I don't mean that to be a dick but it's the truth.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,824 ✭✭✭RoyalMarine


    oh yeah.. forgot diamond. hmmm

    perhaps then the team idea would work out?


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 36,711 CMod ✭✭✭✭pixelburp


    How about keeping it simple at 1 league, but with matches weighted depending on who wins?

    So a Bronze player beating a Diamond would earn more points than a Diamond playing beating a Bronze, and so on. Some kind of multiplier value per level above you?

    Seems like an over-complication. Just have four groups roughly split on rank basis and put the top two in each group through.

    Only part of it is the league, everything else is not seeded.

    Should be changed now sorry about that.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 492 ✭✭UnholyGregor


    Hows the league going to be organised? Like will there be separate tournaments for master and diamond? Then one for plat and gold, and then a separate one for silver and bronze?
    So like 3 different mini leagues? Also any rough figures when on when the fixtures will be made? so we know in advance if there are exams etc going on.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,095 ✭✭✭Columc


    Im gonna be breaking it up into 4 diffrent groups, those groups will be playing everyone in their group(unsure if I will do a Bo3 or a Bo1), when those are finished the results will then be put into a bracket format with seeds(ie 32 player bracket, first seed at top second seed at bottom and will arange via brackets) those will be a Bo3 round until semi which will be a Bo5 and then the finals will be a Bo7.

    With the massive gap between leagues I will try and organise everyone into a even group. There are a few ways in which I can do this, is ether haveing masters in each group and 2 diamonds in each group etc. OR I could have it so that the maters and high diamonds in a group, but that will screw up the seeding of the brackets in the playoffs. So I think the first way may be the best(granted that the masters will more likely win most their games)

    I am hoping to organise more tournaments/leagues for future and will be breaking them down into what their ladder placement is like. This is just a test to see who are the people that try and get their games going and post results and the people who just sign up but dont pla etc.

    Time wise, I am still not sure, I know it is coming close to exams, And i think most people will be finished their exams on the 13th of May and the latest I expect is the 20th of May.

    I will post the fixture up and the map pool and general rules over the weekend(wednesday latest). From there I will give 2-3 weeks(May 24th) for players to play their group games and post their results and replays.

    I think the format should be changed slightly. I think everyone should be split into two divisions ranked by skill. I can see bronze players dropping out quite quickly after getting pounded on game after game. The top two of the bottom division could get promoted after each season, with the bottom two of the other division getting demoted. It would keep the tournament short and sweet too. Thoughts?
