Hey there guys. I have been made the events manager today. I would love to get it started by running an in-house tournament.

Depending on registration I'd like to divide up the clan into divisions or leagues which is TBA.

The idea is to have some competitive games over the set out period I will be providing the prizes which will be coaching lessons with a coach of you're chosen race.

This would likely run over a week or so. Please post here with any advice or criticism also if you would be keen to play let me know here or on bnet.

My realid is itchymitch56@hotmail.com

Thanks and hope to hear from alot of you guys.

[KAshadowz]

sounds like it would be fun!

[ToRPandarine]

split it up into BSG, PD and MasterGM tho i think some admin-ing might be required as some of our boys (and girls? Do we have any lovely ladies in the ToR house? Speak up now ) are a level above their league and might need to be placed appropriately

depending on the timing I might join in cause A levels can be a bitch and take ur sc2 life away and bf3 and terraria with buddies :/ Hwaiting!!!

[ToRMaverick]

Yeah lets do this.... time to shine!

[Uglymutt]

I'm keen, splitting up leagues is a good idea methinks.

[Kringe]

Faroout just got masters as well now i have to do masters gm xD

[Recoil]

I am keen too...GL HF! hehe

[ToRDjvillian]

Hell, it's about time!

I have been pressuring spartaz for the past few months to get another one going. You can definitely count me in.

[TeZzA]

I'm glad to see a few people interested

[oo0zula0oo]

my body is ready

[AsylumofSouls]

I am interested in competing in this thing.

I was going to suggest one of these! I'm totally down

Can I suggest so that everyone has a crack at playing a few games, we have a group stage, followed by a double elim bracket just like many other tourneys use

If the groups are split into somewhat similar skill divisions, it could be like

A - GM/M
B - M
C - M/D
D - D/P
E - P
F - G
G - B/S/G
H - B/S

Then, once people advance, pair winner of group A vs Runner up Grp E, etc

That way, even though the plat player who advances probably gets knocked down by a GM, he goes into the loser's bracket and gets the chance to play on.

Doing this, it's just one tournament (which I think is better, I dont like the idea of splitting into different comps just so lower league people have a better chance to win prizes - get people motivated to improve!)

It's great for team building, there's the chance to play people far above your skill level (good practice and maybe cause an upset or two) and it gives everyone at least a few matches

Don't really see the point of a tournament where the games get worse as you go along. It's basically guaranteed that the winner of Group A wins the tournament with that format.

If you really want a format where the players are sorted by skill and everyone still gets to play a bunch of games, do a swiss tournament.

In any case, the lower masters/diamond players still only get to play their group games with your format, so if half the people still get that, why not spread the good players out?

Regardless, I will play.

ToRDjvillian:

agreed. seed the better players into the swiss format

[ToRSpartaz]

I like how you think son ^^

[Trusty]

Nice idea Tezza, I'll play

[breadfan]

Not necessarily, you could pair the brackets however you like to avoid that. So all Diamond-GM players basically play all the way through on one half of the tree, while Bronze-Plat all play all the way through on the other half. Then just the winners- and losers-bracket finals have disparity. I guess the point is it can be tweaked for whatever you want to make it, since it's in house after all. In saying that, I have enjoyed Swiss bracket tournaments before

On another slightly related note, I was going to suggest we could have a small mini tournament on a weekly basis for our Tier 5 SEAL team to pick who gets to ace spot for the week, as long as it will be optional

Sounds fun, I'm in.
