I/m down whichever way you end up going but off the cuff I think sticking with the 8pm singles tourney is the way to go followed by the 2v2.
We are moving the singles tournament to 10:30 as apart of a ranbat. That’ll be going on until SSFIV comes out.
Danny I’d prefer to have the rules be similar to Season 2 (SBO style/pokemon style elimination)
I do like the option of both random teams and picking teams, I think a back and forth routine would be perfect.
For the first week, I’d like to have it 2 out of 3 just to see exactly how long it would take to finish it up. The bright side is if we do carry over, we can still run the singles in the restaurant w/o having to wait so much.
Yeah, I figured the first week was more to see how we organize the bracket and such, and we can fiddle with # of games and all of that later on.
Ok, so what are everyones thoughts on this:
2V2 TOURNEY FORMAT:
Most rounds - 2/3 2/3 for now, but may change it to 3/5(not finals):
Team 1 = A, B
Team 2 = C, D
A plays C - A wins
B plays D - D wins
Because one person from each team won, the two winning teammates lpay eachother, so
A plays D - A wins
Team 1 wins
It’s either this, or the typical format from TWars, not sure what everyones thoughts are on it.
For Winner’s Finals, Loser’s Finals, and Grand Final’s I kind of like the idea of the following:
A plays C
B plays D
A plays D
B plays C
If both teams are tied at this point (2-2), then each team gets to elect a team member for a final match.
Team 1 elect vs T2 elect for grand final.
Honestly, the main appeal of a format like this is that everyone gets a chance to play a fair amount, so you don’t have one teammate carrying the load entirely and the other teammate doesn’t just sit there doing nothing for the duration.
Also, since Tournament Wars ranbats are looking to be 10$/week (frank will have to confirm that), we will probably only be looking at mabe 5-6$ per team entry fee for the casual 2v2.
Noone wants to chime in? :\
I like the format. Only suggestion is that for finals, the team that loses a set gets to change their order for the next one. It’s a pretty standard practice in most team tournaments, regardless of whether it’s totem pole or pokemon style.
I dunno what the ‘typical’ twars format is, but i like the format you’ve suggested, Danny.
This is the most smooth format, imo. Having the finals this way or as you listed are both good options…though now that I’m thinking about it, I like your take on the extended match…since finals are like that anyways.
Yeah, I like the idea of it because it extends it without making like, each round 3/5 or something, and I like for finals to be distinct from other matches.
edit: Though now that I think of it it is potentially 3/5 because there is possibly 5 matches being played hah.
So Jacob just got done talking to me about getting the minors into that lounge area. More details when they come up.
I will but only to say that me and you are going to win the first 2v2 TW pre-funk tourney
The way that finals is planned, it’s essentially round robin, so this isn’t really going to need to happen.
Typical TWars match was 3/5 and had OCVs, so basically:
A plays C - A wins
A plays D - D wins
B plays D - D wins
(potential for OCVs and such - but I like the other format a lot better because everyone gets a chance to play)
The format you’re suggesting Jodo is a Mikado style team tournament. The Japanese run those a lot, at least in ST they do.
We can run a Mikado style for the first week if you want, but bear in mind TW’s season 2 will be pokemon/elimination style.
I’m jsut explaining what I was meaning by TWars style(during Season 1), but I don’t think we are following that anyway.
alright whats the interest in getting that room for the minors? basically the room would be 50 bucks and we could use it until whenever. are there even 10 people under 21 who want to enter the pre-tw tourneys?
rooms a good size with tables and chairs, pretty sure you could run as many setups in there as in the bar. maybe more…probably wanna leave the door open to let the stank out tho hahahaha
its in the works, talk to frank so he can talk to my boss
Damn I shoulda paid more attention, I thought TWs2 waaasss using Mikado style.
Is that $50 a week? i think if Carlos/Riki/Ghrrk/Ceramic/Joe?/Tony?/DeLucifer were down, we can work something out.
I have to say (and maybe im just crazy) but I like double tourney status. I like the early tourney (mainly cause the early guys never stay till the late tourney) and I like the minor late tourney (since they cant come into the early tourney)
Only a few people get the advantage of entering both, but I like it since its more practice. Also, everyone stays there till about 3am anyway, so its all good! All this talk about being to tired for 2 tourneys, shoot, thats bs cause Evo is much longer than a two tourney session on sat night. So actually its stamina practice!!!
Anyway, im probably solo here, but I like having 2 tourneys. Early and Late!!!
J-Cole
having 2 single tourneys would take away from the ranbat imo. The early tourney is a pre-funk for a reason. We’ll see how this 2v2 goes. Bokkin and company let me know if there’s an interest for that room. I’m sure we can find a way to get it to work w/o having the minors paying for the whole $50.
