December Drill; A Duck Divvying of Dclans (the D is silent)
Link to google doc
https://docs.google.com/document/d/10WKkoeHZOcCc_1FIjIPfkijSHLu2e67n3n9uvOfZpJo/edit?usp=sharingI wish to do a simple event as we head into the holiday season of December. My goals are simplicity, flexibility, and conciseness. While I love grand tournaments, as we move into December I know that many people will have restrictive schedules on the weekends. This obviously makes competitions difficult as teams will be unable to bring their 100% to the weekends. So here is what I would like to put forward.
Saturday at 4pm EST, 9PM UTC (Cogs time)
8 teams (6 or 10 also workable, as long as we’re even)
4 best of three matches
No time limit for matches
Random maps released prior to event
Live Stream each match for 45 minutes before moving onto the next with the main stream. If stream team is large enough, we may have people take over stream. Regardless the next pairing will begin 50 minutes (5 minutes to switch things) after the start of the one before it
No ladder, no champion, no reward outside of enjoying your matches.
This isn’t a tournament but instead just an attempt to bring together teams of players in Guns of Icarus for some streamed competitive matches. I think this would be fun and easy to put on some great matches. Also unlike other tournaments where you have to clear a whole afternoon as you might have to continue on in the tourney, you basically only need to clear perhaps an hour and a half around your match. While this loses the fun of a tournament, being free from that pressure could help for around the holidays.
Method of pairing will be first come first serve of teams signing up for a time. Privately contact me through the forums requesting a time and I will update this doc accordingly. Steam and Skype are also fine. Who chose what will be revealed once a time slot is completely filled.
4:00 a
4:00 b
4:50 a

This can be expanded if there is enough interest. Sign ups will open December 3 at 4PM EST or 9 PM UTC
Now this is all in a google doc as well as this forum post. Once the forum post goes live, this will continue to be updated as the official rules. Rules will be set in stone once sign ups open. Feel free to comment and critique as well as point out anything I have missed.
