Sunday Community Skirmish #14 (Signups for Sunday 10th August)

[Velvet]

Leto has kindly agreed to run an additional stream. so hopefully we will have 3 streams and be able to cope with the number of participants.

We will have to push along matches pretty fast so please don't be late arriving to lobbies. also I'd like to politely remind all teams that it's inappropriate for non-organisers to be in the spectator slot in competitive matches - therefore it might be for the best not to make the match passwords available to players who aren't participating. Encourage your supportive clan members to sit back with the other viewers and enjoy the streams.

edit: Imagine reminded me he can't stream today. so let this be a warning that some matches may need to be offstream or streamed in Russian.
today/tomorrow is also going to stand as a little test to see if we can cope with 10 participating teams. if this goes too poorly we'll have to consider turning away participants after the first 8.

I dunno, but is splitting the matches over to another day an option? For example, have 4-5/9 matches this sunday and have the rest of the matches played on sunday of next week, if the teams think they can get their crews together for next week as well.

Assuming that:
Caster #1 will cast matches A, C, G and I
Caster #2 will cast matches B, E and H
Caster #3 will cast matches D and F
we should be able to make it more or less in the same timespan as it usually goes for SCS, where we sometimes end up in 4 separate BO3 series streamed by one caster and still managing to end all the matches in more or less 3 hours, same as here we'll end up with 4 BO3 series for one caster as maximum, so it won't be much of a problem.
So as long as we will have 3 casters (and little to no Dunes matches :p) there will probably be no need for splitting up the matches in the first place.

Due to some internal issues The Grim Reapers are withdrawing there bid for this weeks SCS.


We'll be back in 2 weeks to defeat the Rydrs ^.^

I think (hope) we actually have 4 streams available (Fourth Oracle, Swallow, Rob&Dan and Xemka). however one is in Russian and 2 of them can only make it in time for the second round. I'm reasonably confident that the event will be finished in manageable time. for those others than me who are confused by the number of streams, Letonator (Dan) has helpfully assembled today's various streams on the Rob & Dan Show website; http://robanddan.tv/live/.

@Dementio: the one-shot nature of the event is an integral part of its structure imo. If we find the number of participants unmanageable my first choice would be to limit the event to 8 teams on a first come first serve basis.

@Goldenglade: thanks for letting us know.
