Ship swapping in Lobby before competitive matches

<< < (14/17) > >>

Queso:
Well I think a more formalized draft or blind system for tournaments is something important for long-time life of competitive play. If it means fewer double pyra builds than that is a different discussion. However the  informal system that just kind of happens in lobbies before a match is potentially problematic if more teams decide to abuse most tournaments lack of structure in this regard.

Sammy B. T.:
When you say abuse you mean what?

Changing ships quickly?

Queso:
Abuse may not be the right term. But if two ships enter a lobby and nobody is counter picking, and then somebody does it with a second left on the timer, it's not exactly sportsmanlike conduct. Now if a tournament has no policy on that sort of behavior and a tournament director doesn't like it, there is not really anything they can do.

All I'm saying is that if tournament directors are okay with this behavior they should be explicit about it's legality. If they aren't okay with it, they need to come up with a better system.

Imagine:
As it's been said, forcing blind picks will only serve to increase metamidion usage because you'd want the safest option available.

Urz:
FYI the Sky Tournament I ran over a year ago had blind picks. The team captain would submit their loadouts via a Google Docs form 5 minutes before their match. It went pretty smoothly, although I ended up not using it in future events.
