Proposal: Newcommers tournaments.

<< < (2/3) > >>

Imagine:
I know there was a low-level tournament that was being organized at one point but haven't heard anything about it in a couple of weeks, so I'm sure there'd be some interest in it.

Skrimskraw:
yea itwin talked about, however we havent seen him since he was on vacation and never followed up, so it's free hands on beginners tourney.

if you need help phores, just ask.

You don't need 1v1 for single-crew competitions.  There is a very simple format for this being developed as a single-event contest that could be completed in a couple of hours.  The 2v2 format (four crew mini-league) is about to be tested to confirm the scoring system, the 3v3 format  (6 crew mini-league) which would permit CP/KOTH as well as DM is under-development but probably some way off.

Can't quite tell if that was meant to be a slight or not...
 If it's about casting and how people view it, a lot of people watch minor leagues just for the difference and breaking things up a bit. High end games in sport tend to see a handful of ways of playing with only minor variants and can get quite dull, lower end play you see a lot more risks taken and experimentation.

Also low end doesn't mean casual, I wouldn't be surprised if some serious competition came about from some of the games, the point is more about getting newcommer to "wet their feet". The idea of the seperate tournaments makes it possible for people to get on the ladder without just getting stomped as they would in the major contests (hence in real life you see under 18's and under 21 teams).

Not sure I quite follow, is there a link to this somewhere? (Another reason to wish for a community scenario editor :p)

Squidslinger Gilder:
Problem is stirring up interest in competitive events among new players. Many aren't that committed to the game yet to want it, and the others are likely so casual that visiting a forum is next to committing some form of heresy on their internet lives. The serious ones would get right on watching the vets play and it would likely turn into a pro match anyways. But it is worth a shot if you can find enough newbies wanting it.
