Why dont everyone who is planning to participate post their preferred/available schedule? That way we can all have a general idea on a certain time…
Im available
Monday - Thursday 9am - 1pm
Thursday - Saturday all day
Sunday - afternoon
Since this online tournament, why the rush to finish it one day? Why not everyone in PST pool try to play each other by end of the week. Person w/ the most points goes to the championship to play against the winner of the EST. Then we can have like an East coast vs Westsiiiide championship. Or we can just start a league of some sort, make it 1-2 months long & tally up the points at the end to determine who goes to the championship round.
I thought about that. But SweetJV made a good point when he was afraid things would fizzle. I have no problem setting up a larger schedule, say, matches X, Y, and Z should be played this week, and drawing up schedules for everyone, and my goal is a league type format.
Pools play each other, take the tops of the pools, have them tourney, take points from finishes and have league standings. That’s my goal, I think though to get the league started, we need to have a couple events go smoothly, and for that I need to get as many people in as possible. If this league grows to say 70 or 80 people (which I personally believe it can be much larger than that) then we couild probably have PST morning pool, PST evening pool, EST morning, EST evening, etc. etc. etc.
My fear is without some sort of schedule structure interest would fizzle out or events wouldn’t get talleyed correctly, and eventually if it gets large enough, without schedules it’d be hard to allocate observer (recorders) appropriately.
Alright then, if matches are mon and tues, count me back in.
GT: PFW91
TZ: EST
I would also state that I prefer this two day set up over anything else. If the tourney is dragged out longer than 3 days, things fizzle out, as people have stated before.
Updated list of competitors so far: We could use more PST and MST players, but hell we’ll take anyone who’s up for some game time!

So how is this going to be communicated? Is there going to be one big Xbox live party? Or are the players supposed to just message each other and then invite?
I’m really looking forward to this, just wondering how it works.
How it will work, is on Pool Nights, I’ll post here and on our XBOX Live Thread the complete Pool Schedule. Matches start at 8:00 EST for EST AND CST players and 8:00 PST for PST AND MST players. On tournament nights, I’ll be sending out an excel spreadsheet to everyone who’s in the tournament and I’ve set it up so it fills itself out. I’ve got it already scheduled, which matches go together, how people move in the brackets etc. All you have to do is fill out who wins and loses what match number, put in the numbers into the # of wins column and excel does the rest.
(BTW, if you don’t have office, I may suggest you get a copy of openoffice @ openoffice.org. Its a free (and very good) office suite with a spreadsheet program that’s fully compatible. If I can post an attachment for download with a post, I’ll do that, if not, when I post pool results and who will be in that week’s tournament just send an e-mail to worldwarriorsleague@gmail.com and I’ll send you a copy of the tournament bracket.
Once the tourney starts, its just a matter of communicating with whoever your opponents could be and going from there.
So you’ll give us a schedual with who were supposed to play at what times? How do we report our results? And what do we do if we get into our first game with a person and realize its too laggy?
Yes, the pool schedule will be posted and the tournament players will get a copy of the bracket along with times. Pool results, just e-mail worldwarriorsleague@gmail.com with your wins and losses along with the gamertag of your opponents (preferably in the order in which you played them). I’ll tab that Tuesday morning and post the results and sent out the spreadsheet to the tournament players a little after that.
Tournament results you just have to get ahold of the two people in the match that would lead to your next match and ask them who won, and move on. You can update the spreadsheet as you go just by putting in the number of games won per person and it’ll give you the rest
Just reminding everyone, if you want to be eligible to play in our first event on September 7th and 8th, you must be signed up by Wednesday at midnight PST! Good luck to everyone!
That’s strange that you would have connection problems one on one. If it was in a large room its possible that someone in the room may have you as someone they want to avoid via XBLs rep system, and I know that can cause problems in player rooms when it comes to joining. Oh and come on Mavrick, we know… WE KNOW what you;re really scared of is getting drilled again to Bison’s knees lol…(or not).
If two people in pool play absolutly CAN NOT connect to each other for some reason, then in the report e-mails I will get back from everyone after pool play with their results, note in that match up could not connect. I’m tempted in that situation to give each player one point, but I’m afraid that there could be gamesmanship there and people gaming the system so we may have to see how that goes before I make a final decision on that idea.
Speaking of reporting results: Remember everyone after pool play should e-mail worldwarriorsleague@gmail.com In the subject line put your gamertag and your pool ID (EST Pool A or PST Pool B or whatever it may be). Report your results like so. I would like to say already, it feels like we’re going to have some great turn out. If you’re put on a pool list and you can’t participate that week, that’s okay. Let me know and we’ll either rearrange pools that week or we’ll use your spot like a bye that week so people can use the bathroom, grab a snack… whatever. (I’m actually considering scheduling this into pool play anyway, do people want to just play play and play or would people appreciate a 10 minute break? Let me know)

Silver Rain 007 (L 0-2)
Damdai (W 2-1)
etc.
etc.
etc.
Obviously CWheezy’s advice isn’t bad, if we’re getting people gathering together and making league play an event if they’re close together, great!
