The match doesn't have to start at 10:30 EST on the dot, that's just when the Tourney begins. In terms of when casters will cast, the games will be run serially, one after another. This leads me into my next part of planning.
In terms of casters, I'd like to have 3 at maximum, and that being the preferred number. The first round will consist of 3 matches, leading in to a Semi-final, and then the Championship Match. I'll be contacting the streamers outside of this forum today and tomorrow.
Considering the serial nature of the games, there's only the need for two Judges. The Judge will check the loadouts of each team and make sure they correspond to the details sent to me in the application, and will work with the winning team at the end of each match to finalise their loadout for their next match.
I'll talk to the casters, but in-between Matches I'd like to run post-match chats with representatives of each team present in the stream. These would then provide enough time for the other Judge and Caster to set up the next Match. The hope would be that the Matches would run more or less smoothly between one another.
There's a whole bunch of other stuff, but there's little point ballooning this post beyond what's necessary. Expect the Brackets by 12AM 1st August.
