I was thinking, wouldn't it be a good thing to use the current PL format with no ace game? I think that goes really nicely with the concept of this league, and it allows one more dude to get into the line-up each week.

I took out the /dnd and no obs rules, it is just too hard for me to enforce and causing problems, so please use your head when you include an obs in the game. I also went back to a bo5. I really wanted to do a bo7 so more people could play but it doesn't look realistic for every team to get 6 players to show up to play every time.
I wanted to use the first week as a kind of test week to see how things would flow and a number of things stood out to me.
1) I need better communication lines with the team representatives. If you have been communicating with me for your team I'm going to send you a PM to get skype/IM info from you.
2) Holgerius suggested this before I got a chance to make this post but arranged schedules of players from each team would make things go much more smoothly and give people a matchup to focus practicing on.
3) I mentioned earlier that I had been thinking about introducing some flex time in the schedule. ie. if your team is mostly west coast players and making game time is really difficult for you and you can get the other team to agree to play at another time on the weekend that would be fine as long as you notify me beforehand. Please give me some feedback on this.
If these changes are to go into effect properly that means that the players have to be active participants. Sorry for all the upheaval.
Could there be some sort of formal way of upping it back to a Bo7 if both teams have the players to do so? I guess any sort of leeway is exploitable in some fashion, but at the moment most people seem to be using the lets just have everyone play approach.

I agree with that, as I had a walkover last week I was fearing missing the chance to play, it's a crappy feeling. Thankfully my team let me play the ace match. If it's Bo5 and 8 players per team there're already 3-5 people without the chance to play. The more players play the better.

If any team has a spot for me I'd like to join. Rank: D+ Iccup account: hollerado Race: Random

I like the Bo5 because new players (like me) who are very very inexperienced could use the league as a practice rather than being fielded and losing every week.
|
We will use the happy medium of Bo5 with no ace then. I have reps for all the teams but one so I'll be asking for lineups soon.

Well, the weekly game is just one out of many. Unless you don't practice at all for it, in which case... ehhh...
But I'm happy with whatever the head honcho decides, as long as the league goes on.

I think its impossible to make everyone happy, CobaltBlu is making himself very available as a host and this is Cobalt's baby so I am just happy and excited to have this opportunity to be part of the SCBW community. I am not saying that everything is perfect as there are many things that we need to fix but please I don't want to hear some of the common complaints that are getting ridiculously over abused.
Yes I have to play at 4am in the morning to play a game but I know that if we made it earlier most of the US would be a sleep or another country etc, Also Bo5 is a very smart decision especially with the constant loss of certain players week on week.
And I like what 'Theshimmy' said re bo5 it not about finding a winning player or finding the best players in fact, this is about getting D-/D/D+ players to get involved and encourage players to be part of a tournament without the discouraging pressure a Higher ranked tournament would have.

What sucks is that only two other people from his team came last week.

i personally think that bo7 with acematch is way better since more people can play and ace matches are quite awesome. teams can/need tp kinda recruit new player if the line up isnt deep enough and even if they are some wo s at first but there are still people intrested to participate in this league out there. There would be a bigger incentive to share our luv for bw and get more fresh blood in the scene. Furthermore i d like to see a changing mappool for each week even if u just change 1 or 2 maps per week and leave the "standard maps like fs and circuit breaker in the mappool. it d give the league a litte more variance and since its rather casual u could use 1 funmap per week

Hey I'm wondering, is this week's game the same time as last week's?
27th Nov, 01:00 KST?

People from Team 3, please get on Skype and let me know if you want to play and what maps you want to play on. Most of you I haven't seen on Skype since I invited you and R-Dizzle still hasn't responded to my PM. If you want to play in a team league, please try to be part of the team and not just show up in the iCCup channel when the games are there and ignore the whole point of this being a team based thing the rest of the time.

I updated the op with the complete schedule for teams that submitted them. I am trying to get two rosters out of two more teams so sorry to the guys that don't know what to practice for yet.
I'll probably update maps later with the new proleague ones if kespa ever lets us download them and any change of time will happen after the December 24/31 break.

I like the Bo5, it gives players a chance to take a break especially because its a bad time for some players. I can't be fielded every week as it starts at 3am Sunday, and obviously Saturday is a day I go out and do stuff haha.
