- DuncanIdaho This would definitely work, but I just wanted to show my support for the pro-league method. It gives more of an advantage to those who place top of the league (1st v 2nd v 3rd v 4th). I think the person in fourth place knocking out the person in first place right at the beginning is kind of meh. With this method, 4th place will have to win two games instead of one to get to the finals. .......________(WIN)________............... ....(1st)........................_____|____....... ...............................(2nd).......___|___.. ...........................................(?)........(?) - Can HybridFlow cast the games (maybe one a week, making sure everyone gets covered eventually)? - Do we have an official thread/website up? - Can we start our weeks on Mondays? I think it would be easier for people to reschedule say, from a saturday to sunday the next day. If that makes sense. Grouping the weekend together just seems right. - I will make a schedule with what DuncanIdaho provided, but with names. - Everyone go work on their profiles! | ||

And then are the matches going to be scheduled or if for some chance someone can't make the schedule time they can reschedule within the week? as long as they play it before next league week. Also I like the final set up you have. It would be a real shocker if player 4 beats out player one, and then it would be lame for player 4 to pretty much auto-lose(maybe) against player one, so I think that way is more fair for everyone but that's just my opinion. | ||

I guess opponents can decide when they want to play each week. | ||

get a few crawlers up and queens to transfuse either 4 gate yourself or 2 gate forge defend the push, collect your win because 4gate is a pretty all inish build and you can just take expos and outmacro | ||

ZvP is my worst match-up too. I'm a little screwed for this tournament. I'll be surprised if I win a single game. | ||

 Edit: And Gemini is 3rd alternate, etc... And Karliath, I finally understand the idea you put forth. When you first posted it I had no idea what the hell you were 4th and 3rd square off, then the winner plays 2nd, and then that winner plays 1st. You know, I think I like that better, and it allows for observing the games in the finals... Let's do that instead. | ||

I'll be sending conformations soon, to all of the players, after posting about it first. If anyone doesn't respond within 48 hours of me sending it out, +- gets the first slot, Gabeski the 2nd. Can you ask everyone to briefly lay out when they are available for games? Then, compile it all together so that we can get some sort of idea before talking to your opponents each week. Oh, and we should use one time zone (for this listing, at least) to make it easier for everyone. | ||

I know I have school, basketball, debate and guitar so... You know, I guess I didn't think the casting part through very well... However, I did think deeply enough to realize that there would be quite a few games, some potentially simultaneous, and thus we would need to consider, rather than live casting the season games, instead saving them, and casting them at an appropriate time. However, I just realized, with 14 Bo3 rounds going on each week, that's 28-42 games to cast... geeeeyyAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH! Hmm... Well, I still want a replay of every game available for the players to study their opponents, but I don't expect every game to be casted... I guess try to cast as many as you can, or perhaps we can agree as a community of fellow leaguers as to which games are cast worthy, while the rest will simply be the replay files, posted in the new thread announcing this league. Perhaps each week can have a poll, and the top 4-5 games voted upon get casted? Idk, but I'd like to attempt to showcase different styles of games, ie games with similar builds and so forth don't need to be casted ad nauseum. Perhaps I'll watch the games, and then group them into seperate types, and we can vote in each category, idk... (eg, the PvP 4gate on 4gate category, the ZvT muta-ling v biotech category, early cheese rush category, the weird strange builds category, etc.) As for the finals, hopefully we can agree upon times to play, such that they're casted live. I'd like to have only the casters and players in any final games, with the rest of us watching via ustream or whatever, such that there's no dc game delays (yes, I was a culprit myself, it can happen to anyone...). However, there is the chance that both flow and hybrid will be in the finals, so perhaps if we have a few others willing to cast, that would be awesome. I wouldn't mind casting, I have full confidence in my abilities to analyze and entertain, but my only problem is that I'm not sure how to setup the live show, link it to my comp, etc, yet I'm willing to learn... Perhaps if we can get more willing casters from you guys we can lessen the season load on flow and hybrid as well, provided they're willing to share with us their secrets of casting...  I think I'll be posting a new thread soon, with the banner, and announcing the league's commencement, along with confirmation emails to go out to all players, with a 48 hour limit for confirmation. I would like games for Week1 to begin this Sunday through Saturday (9/19-9/25), and I say contact your opponent, and agree upon a time to face off. If you agree to practice matches, that is fine by me, but agree before your official matches start. Also, if you have any practice matches you'd like to showcase, by all means do so. My email address is bchaney at psychology dot ou dot edu, (did that format to avoid webcrawling spammers :p) and all official games are required to come to my address. I'll consolidate the rules, line-up, etc in the official thread, and again, I'll post the link to it in a reply to this thread. Happy gaming! ~DuncanIdaho PS-And no, I'm not from Idaho, all of you who thought this will officially have your nerd licenses revoked.  lol | ||
