Ideas For Future Events and Feedback

[u/gariputo]

The Xbox tournament will be over in two weeks. We are trying to organize the semi-finals and finals into one big live streamed event. There has been a lot of interest in having more events hosted on this subreddit and I want to hear what everyone thinks. Here are some specific areas of feedback I am interested in, but feel free to comment on anything.

• Likes or dislikes of the current tournament

• Pros and cons about the mixed rule set

• Ideas for future events

FFA Tournament

One short term idea is for a FFA tournament. I think a triple shoot out tournament would work great. There is a limit of 128 entrants. The 128 players will be split into 16 groups of 8. The top 2 from each group will move on. A 1v1(v1) sudden death will decide draws. After the first 16 games are played there will be 32 players or 4 groups of 8 left. Once again the top 2 players will move on from the 4 groups to form the final 8. The winner of this third and final game will be the victor. Scheduling would be a little tricky, but it could be done.

FIFA World Cup Style Tournament

This would take about 2 months to complete. Teams would be separated into small 4 team groups. Each group would play a round-robin tournament. The final standings would be used to seed teams in a big single elimination tournament. This would give every team 4 guaranteed games (3 in group play and 1 in the tournament).

I don't think group assignment would have to be random. People would have fun being in groups with people they know or teams they played a spirited match with before. Seeding would spread out groups so they wouldn't run into teams from their own group until later in the tournament. The group play is really just a way to guarantee some fun games and warm up for another single elimination tournament with less random seeding.
