uncompetitive scrimmage day

(1/5) > >>

Skrimskraw:
By popular demand this thread is being made.

With all the events coming up soon, I have aired the idea of trying to find a fixed day each week for uncompetitive and training scrimmages. Teams in GOIO have had problems finding scrimmages in the past, due to the fact that it’s a 2-part procedure. First, you need to privately contact a clan, and then find an ideal date to get your crew together for the scrimmage.

So why should your team be a part of this?

First, knowing that once per week on a specific day you have the chance of doing scrimmages is an easy way to get your crew members to schedule their week. Additionally, It will be easier to find a scrimmage, since the other teams participating also knows that this specific day is scrimmage day. It also will be easy to find a replacement if one of your team members can’t make it.

This will not be competitive event, meaning that there is no penalty of trying out new tactics, before you test them vs. other teams in tournament events. – However if you want to use the scrimmage to gain points in the upcoming e-sport system, you are free to do so if both clans / teams agree on it.

There is no managing this other than both teams agree on how their scrimmage will proceed. We don’t care we just want to play more team vs. team based games.

Cogs had huge success in getting teams to show up Saturdays, so this could potentially work if we support the idea.

So if you are interested and have a team, the next step is to find a permanent week day. Have a word with your team members and then post back in this thread.

Skrimskraw:
I will take the liberty of giving a suggestion.

With cogs, and off season events being held saturdays, it might be an idea to have these events on saturdays.

usually most teams will be practicing at 2pm EST, 8pm CET. If we could make it saturday those teams not playing the current week, can do scrimmages anyway.

another idea would be to use sunday.

Shinkurex:
As rep for the Merry Men, I feel that Sat before Cogs or any tourney, will be the most ideal time for scrimmages like this. We seem to all congregate during this time anyway :)...

Captain Magellan:
Yeah, The Valiant hit the skies 12:00 PM EST on Saturdays.

I'm TRYING not to sound like an annoying broken record here; I find myself saying this same thing over and over... If everything is always on Saturdays, you will always have the same people involved, and always be excluding the same people. It's starting to get frustrating, since I'm firmly in the second group. Of course the majority of the current competitive players will be able to make a Saturday event. This is why they are the current competitive scene, because they can play on Saturdays. I'm unfortunately starting to believe that the single strongest skill set to have in this game for competitive play is a weekday work schedule or no job at all. That is not how it should be.
