TimmyB Tournament Post Season One Suggestions

(1/3) > >>

Byron Cavendish:
So obviously, this is where you lovely people can discuss what you liked and didn't like about season one, suggestions for events in season 2, or just general suggestions on how to run the even better or what you liked.

I want to start off by asking a few questions to the community:

-Did you find the 3v3 format enjoyable, or would you prefer 2v2?
-Would you rather see this event aired pre-filmed, like the Anvalan Conflict, or live?
-Was the points system confusing or fun?
-What would you change about the points system (can be specific to certain weeks)
-Secret points suggestions

Imagine:
I highly suggest solidifying rules and and what to do in situations with in game refs. There were some avoidable things that happened, had a rather bad showing in terms of rules in a squid race for one, and confusion in the point spending in the last day where basically everyone thought once you posted your percentage on the forums it was locked for the other as specific things that could have been avoided.

Steve CZ:
First of all, I think the 3v3 format was fun, but it was usually over too quickly. I'd suggest making it a best of 3 (at least in some cases) or something like that. It wasn't very pleasant to try to get 4 people together and then play a match for 5 minutes.

Second, those rules need to be phrased more specifically. The confusion was out of hand sometimes.

And please, keep an eye on the time zones. Just use UTC for the love of god :D

Point system wasn't that much fun. For teams on the lower half of the table it didn't really matter much, since we got usually more points in random costume bonuses, than in any other way.

I'd suggest weekly challenges for bonus points.

Squidslinger Gilder:
Assist points so kill ships aren't the only ones to score high.

Honestly thats all I can think of. Keep the randomness to the event and mixing up gametypes. But at the same time, recognize which ones work and don't work. If something needs Muse support to make viable then I'd avoid using it. Going to get more problems from those that isn't worth making folks upset over.

The best thing of the tournament was to respect the original idea of this by our beloved friend Timmy. That should also be the most important thing, rest is really secondary.

Please keep it casual, simple and for the players in it to enjoy. Endorse fun and make it less serious as it felt some weeks. If points are focused too much it easily becomes less casual for others.
The crazy ship builds were fun. Squidrace needs some work. Reward teamwork and effort but keep it fair. This Season was a good first one.

3v3 is great because it's not always that easy to play certain larger maps and there's enough 2v2 matches. One ship team is a good idea. Makes it easier for new teams to join which is always nice to see. That was probably the second best thing imo. To see Flibustier join mid-tourn and have a blast.

Good job!
