Lol that’s exactly what I mean.
Regarding the general feedback of TW’s, I think it would be beneficial to embed a youtube video of one of the matches that took place every week in your weekly roundup standings post, Frank. In fact, a better idea would be to make a youtube channel button on the site like HOME, ABOUT, SCHEDULE.
Don’t think WordPress will allow a link to it, but I’ll research it. In any case, I will add SOMETHING to link to the TW YouTube site.
For general feedback, I think the flexibility of the scheduling matches should be a little less, well, flexible, and a little bit more strict. I know shit comes up unexpectedly and is sometimes unavoidable, and hey I had to reschedule a match for plans that I had, but the schedule for ALL the tentative matches is up for the whole season. There shouldn’t have been as much rescheduling as there has been, in my opinion, since the schedule is up on the internets for everyone to see. Frank, maybe having it so that people have to let you know if they can’t make it to a match a week or two weeks ahead of the scheduled match.
And I’d go as far to say that the same goes for the timing of a match. I’m aware some matches go longer/quicker than others, but if a team doesn’t show up until 15-20+ minutes after they were scheduled and the other team is ready to go, shouldn’t there be some kind of penalty? Maybe something to do with the point system or something. I don’t know. Just my thoughts on the timing of everything.
Maybe I’m taking it too ‘seriously’ with wanting the matches to be on schedule and having people stick the the schedule that’s already posted. Either way, Tournament Wars is awesome and I hope it keeps going. That’s just what I think.
Tournament Wars overall has been a pretty amazing experience.
I would change the way the teams battle each other for the next season, as the OCV system is fine, but I’m not opposed to having the matches run like the regional exhibition 5v5 at Evo.
That would make things a whole lot more interesting in the long run.
I’m completely down for setting up streaming if we can do that. We could run this like a weekly TV show. Iplaywinner and FADC have streams with 300+ viewers and it’s just a bunch of random people playing random matches normally. In which it would have to be run pretty tight and on schedule, but it could be done.
Also, that would be a great opportunity for the Best Western to throw up some online advertising through our stream. Which would make them super happy and help us with support from them.
Otherwise, I just want to see it grow to be honest.
Are we going to be throwing in TvC for Season 2? That would be a easy (and cheap) game to practice streaming with, as it’s not HD and capture cards for that resolution go for less than 20, on laptops and desktops.
we could always just bring TvC and just run it, I’m not to sure if I want to juggle 3 games this go around…at least not yet.
I just might have to do that. Is anyone interested in playing? I don’t have any stick, as of yet.
Hey jacob…about that $5 dollar min thing…could I spend that on food?..I’m always hungry when I’m at twars I just get there so late I don’t wanna bother ya’ll…I’m ready to drop money on food…what time would I have to get there?
I’m pretty sure Josh said they’re closed at 10 and that you’re an asshole if you order after 9:30. So if you’re there at 9 you should be solid.
^^^this, and lately its been so slow the restaurant has closed at 9 but 5 bucks on food works out just fine. YOU AND EVERYBODY ELSE NEEDA HURRY UP AND TURN 21 lol
Oh and this is some good information about streaming set ups.
