Community eSports Sky League (March 22nd - April 26th)

We would have to create 2 separate pools for subs, instead of having a couple for both teams. This was discussed back when you had called everyone in to discuss, and if I recall a potential compromise was to lock the sub to the team for a couple of weeks instead.

RearAdmiralZill:
Well non co-op teams (ie, a clan team) will have a team and be done and dusted. If two clans wanted to make a co-op team, be it because they have extra people around or they are too small to field their own team, that stipulation is off-putting (to me anyway). With that in there, I have no want to make another co-op team with my extra members, and I feel itll limit who actually puts a team in.

redria:
I... want to be a fan of this, but I have concerns. Isn't this a tournament, not a league? A league implies regular matches that last for a season. This is an elimination tournament. Sure, it is spread out over 8 weeks, but if you lose out in the group stage (which I don't fully understand, and the graphic doesn't give a better explanation), you can only lose once more before you are out for the tournament season. To make a comparison, this is like american football doing away with the regular season, treating the pre-season as a seeding system, and skipping straight to the playoffs. Oh, and if you lose in the preseason, instead of just being poorly seeded, you are given a straight up disadvantage.

Am I just not understanding something here? Because I want to like this. But it doesn't really have a league or seasonal feel. Just another tournament: one that is dragged out.

-Edit-
Welp, re-read that and it calls itself a tournament. Huh. This is not really the direction I would have liked to see this go. I'll be honest on that. I recognize that COGS may have not been the best system, but for the premiere "league" to just be a slowly run tournament... Meh. I never had the opportunity to be part of the discussion on designing this, but I'm kinda bummed out that this is the big reveal. Oh well.

Urz:
The 'compromise' was that the subs are reset halfway (four weeks) into the event.

This is the same sub rule used in both of my previous large tournaments, and as far as I'm aware there were no significant issues derived from it. Subs will only become attached to a team after the first time they've played, so at the beginning of the tournament all your subs would be in the same pool. It's also important to note that a given team will play a maximum of either five or six (one team will play six) of the eight weeks.

Ultimately it is up to you to evaluate how many teams you are able to support.

You can check your skype logs for an example of a significant issue deriving from sub rules during the Anvalan Conflict.
