Its here...
While Maynarde and I haven't officially nutted out the format - we are going to have them to decided the grand champion of Tier 5. I'm writing to inform you of the proposed format and ask for your constructive feedback to develop a finalised playoffs system.
The format
- at this stage will involve an extra match (so there are no draws) (5 gates worth 1 point, 1 ace match worth 2).
- Playoffs will involve 5 teams, 1st to 5th..
Week 1:
1st has a Bye
2nd vs 3rd (Match A)
4th v 5th (Match B)
Loser of match B is out - gg.
Week 2:
Winner of Match B vs Loser of Match A (Match C)
Winner of Match A vs 1st (Match D)
Winner of Match D goes to Grand Final
Loser of Match C is out - gg.
Week 3:
Winner of Match C vs Loser of Match D
Winner goes to Grand Final
Week 4:
Grand Final. Winner Wins.. Loser is out, comes 2nd.. gg wp'd.
This format can be compressed to a shorter period if needed. and match time for all matches (excluding Grand Final) can be played when ever - with the GF on a set date (probably a weekend) and streamed by... someone?... I favour this format because it rewards teams final placement and gives teams an incentive to fight right to the end of the season!...
Note: I think I wrote everything right, but that format is confusing to write down.. T_T
Suggestions pls!?..
Additional Note
The maps for SEAL Tier 5 have been selected using the following format, each map is played 1st and as the Ace map once for the season.. however, there are 10 maps and 11 weeks..
So I'm asking you guys to vote on your favourite map(s) - If you guys let me know via PM your top 5 maps in order I'll work out the final map.. it will either be - 1st most popular played as ace and next top 4 randomly to the other matches, OR Most popular map will be first map for ALL rounds of the final week!..
Additionally, similar polls will be taken from the teams in the playoffs to determine the maps for the Playoffs..
