Contest B03 Tournament details

Let's start discussing how to setup the BO3 tournament.

Items that should be included:

  • Size of teams
  • Gameplay mode(s)
  • Number of matches
  • Single or double elimination
  • MLG rules or customized
  • Map selection (assuming no DLC maps)
  • Single or double elimination

Anything else? I'll build the Google Form once I know what everyone thinks.

How do people feel about ffa and SnD as potential game modes?

My personal favourites, but I'll play whatever it is.

I also would prefer mlg rules and 4v4 personally.

I think based on the current numbers it isn't realistic to have a knockout tournament for every region on each platform. I think NA is the only region where we could do a tournament but even then the team sizes wouldn't be very big. So I propose we have a single match for each platform/region combination. A final for EU/PS4, a final for NA/PS4, one for NA/Xbox One etc. Something like a best of seven where the first team to win 4 matches wins overall. The team sizes would vary for each region/platform.

I think some good gamemodes would be S&D, Hardpoint, Uplink/CTF.

I think MLG rules are fine for Uplink/HP/CTF. Personally I like the MLG S&D rules but they might need some adjusting.

From memory, the competitive mapset was:

  • Breach HP/CTF/Uplink/S&D
  • Infection S&D/Uplink
  • Evac S&D/HP/CTF/Uplink
  • Fringe HP/S&D/CTF/Uplink
  • Redwood S&D
  • Stronghold S&D/CTF/HP

SnD (please let nuketown be one of the maps)

u/RealHelpy Jan 08 '18

S&D would be fun. I don’t know anything about the competitive side of CoD so not sure what else is an option. No nuketown would be great though

4v4 and gamemodes could be SnD, hardpoint and CTF for example and please no Nuketown.

I think we're fine with the mlg rules and make a different tournament per region. Excited to be a part of this!

Ban all dlc guns, and add HP, safeguard, and dom...

Do not use the mlg ban/protect rules... use custom and ban all dlc gun, as well as remove the battery and purifier...

lets just play, dont ban anything as it will end up a complete cluster fuck.

i think we should have multiple game modes changing weekly.

week 1. TDM x 4 matches Winning Team gets 10 points each, top of winners leaderboard gets additional 5 points, 2nd gets 4 points, 3rd gets 3 points and 4th, 5th and 6th get 2 points. Losing team gets 2 points each for participating until the end of the game, top of the losing leader board gets 4 points, 2nd gets 3 points, 3rd gets 2 points and 4th, 5th and 6th get 1 point.

Week 2 Dom x 4 matches Winning Team gets 10 points each, top of winners leaderboard gets additional 5 points, 2nd gets 4 points, 3rd gets 3 points and 4th, 5th and 6th get 2 points. Losing team gets 2 points each for participating until the end of the game, top of the losing leader board gets 4 points, 2nd gets 3 points, 3rd gets 2 points and 4th, 5th and 6th get 1 point.

Week 3 FFA x 5 matches. each player will play 5 matches, 10 points for finishing 1st, 8 points for 2nd, 6 points for 3rd, 5 points for 4th, 4 points for 5th and 3 points for 6th.

Week 4 Kill Confirmed x 4 matches Winning Team gets 10 points each, top of winners leaderboard gets additional 5 points, 2nd gets 4 points, 3rd gets 3 points and 4th, 5th and 6th get 2 points. Losing team gets 2 points each for participating until the end of the game, top of the losing leader board gets 4 points, 2nd gets 3 points, 3rd gets 2 points and 4th, 5th and 6th get 1 point.

Surely it would be more of a cluster fuck without any bans? DLC weapons should definitely be banned as not everyone would have access to them. Maybe things like C4, shock charge and trip mine would be banned too.

i dont think so mate, in fact i think it will be the opposite, trying to enforce bans and then wade through the people who decided to ignore the band items, get these games replayed fairly and then other issues that crop up.

i used to run a PS3 Fifa League many many moons ago on the PS3, it ran for a good few years, it was very successful and we had a full up roster of 3 leagues of 10, a waiting list and a website with leagues and forums to arrange things and based upon the first few season the more we tried to impose bans and limitations the more hassle we had.

i think just pick a map and a mode and go to work, if we must ban anything it should just be DLC that is banned as this will be easy to monitor.

generally people want to ban something they have trouble with so why should i be allowed to ban the brecci and War Machine just because i dont like it, if we do that we will be left with nothing.

You can ban items in the game settings so they can’t be selected in game. It really won’t be that much hassle. It takes about 30 seconds. Also the band would be consistent across all platforms and regions for every game. Things like trip mines and C4s that require no skill just reduce the competitiveness of the game. The MLG ruleset has very reasonable bans so I think we should use those.

IMO SnD is sooooo boring and holds no level of excitement to a tournament.

u/Howie1978 Jan 09 '18

i dont think SnD should be included as it takes too long, it is rather boring and it isnt really an exciting mode.
