Bimmer Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I'm finishing up development of a set of scenarios that I was going to put them out through the Repository, but it occurred to me that there might be enough interest to warrant using them for a small tournament before releasing them into the wild. What I'm proposing is a straight bracket tournament; no complex scoring, just winner goes on, loser goes home (mostly because it's just easier for me to administer). Four scenarios, all using the same map but each otherwise unique. This arrangement would require 16 players. Preference would be given to those with prior tournament experience; AARs would be required for every scenario completed; anyone who drops out would be publicly shamed. This is an informal testing of the waters to see if there's enough public interest to go forward. If there is, I'll post up a formal announcement/sign-up thread. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Javaslinger Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I think this is a great idea... there are several ongoing tournaments on 'A Few Good Men' but they've all started and are full. We need one for the rest of us! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranger33 Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I would be interested in participating. I haven't done a tournament before but this sounds like a nice straight forward one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LJFHutch Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 RT or PBEM? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bimmer Posted December 14, 2011 Author Share Posted December 14, 2011 RT or PBEM? PBEM would be the default; if both parties agreed to RT, I suppose it would be OK, but I never play it myself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Canadian Cat Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Sounds interesting. I would like to participate. I can turn over, on average, one PBEM turn per day. Over the holidays (from about the 24th to new years) things will get a bit sluggish. Hopefully that will not be any different from anyone else. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bimmer Posted December 15, 2011 Author Share Posted December 15, 2011 I can turn over, on average, one PBEM turn per day. Over the holidays (from about the 24th to new years) things will get a bit sluggish. Hopefully that will not be any different from anyone else. I don't think there would be any problem. These scenarios are all quite small and relatively short. Turns go quickly. Nonetheless, I think somewhere around a 45-day maximum time period for each round would be adequate (none of them are over 45 minutes in length). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bimmer Posted December 15, 2011 Author Share Posted December 15, 2011 I am in. Are battles going to be mirrored? If not, you better be prepared for some bitching about unbalanced games. I'm not planning on mirroring. I'm doing everything in my power to balance the scenarios, but I already know there will likely be complaints, or at least grumbling. I envision this as just a fun and relatively informal tournament, and I hope everyone will look at it the same way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bimmer Posted December 16, 2011 Author Share Posted December 16, 2011 I'm going to leave this up over the weekend to see if we can get to the 16 necessary; we're a good bit short right now. If it looks like we can make it work, I'll put the formal announcement and sign-up thread up on Monday. Anyone who's interested and hasn't spoken up, sound off like ya got a pair! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
