Tournaments

[KGB]

When is the next tournament?

What kind?

How about a 2 player Team tournament (I assume team tournaments are possible)?
OR
How about a progressively larger map tournament (round 1 on 50x map, round 2 on 75x map, round 3 on 100x map, round 4 on a 150x map)

Nicely looking both.
Group rounds or play-off duels?

[KGB]

I personally prefer group rounds because it helps a guard against bad luck in a single game.

I like both play-off and round robin. Final format could depend on number of participants.
Let's wait a week for Moonknight or somebody could post any offers, then to open tournaments for participation.

[Moonknight]

Would the 2-team tournament be ladder matches (meaning that you have to partner with someone you are on a team with)?

I am horrible at large maps, so I'll definitely sit out the 1v1's on those.

[Igor]

Games for a tournament should be ladder games for to count them as tournament games.

Additionally to KGB's two offers I think about play-off tournament on very small map like Lonely Isle.

[Igor]

May be also FFA tournament, should be funny. Whole already 4 possible tournaments.

[Moonknight]

What maps will be used for 2v2 tournament? Let's make sure the starting positions are balanced/pre-determined!

[Igor]

Any maps could be, I haven't special preferences. You may offer what you like. I know that KGB likes looking for maps

since larger teams would have multiple entries in a 2x2 tournament you'd have to do something about games with teams from same team. Say if my team fights moonknight. Would need to be a non-ladder game. Also seeding should be set to reduce chances of this type match-up.(Good guys vs good guys, cimmerians vs cimmerians).

And since games like that carry no ladder points temptation for players to throw games to advance their teamates to next round would need to be thought about. Again seeding would be key to try and avoid these match-ups.
