So... no idea?

Although another CA was kind enough to copy-paste the generic contents. I believe that is the Leviathan Seasonal / Fabria Conclusion?


I'd recommend reading the tournament format of each. The Leviathan Seasonal was basically getting random-ishly paired up with another team, fighting them and getting points. There was a lot of other ways to get points, such as setting up your own skirmishes; and even winning matches in official events. Then the teams with the highest point values were put into brackets for a tournament.

The difference with the seasonal is pretty apparent, we don't have teams accumulate points over a season. We have a mini-tournament (normal bracket style) with a single champion. They win the season. They cannot compete in the next seasons. Then we have another mini-tournament in the next season, another single winner. Then after we have four (4) unique season winners (this happens after we complete the four seasons) we have those winners (and replace them if they've stopped playing) compete in a round robin style tournament to determine the ultimate victor. We even throw in a wildcard fifth team.

So we don't accumulate points, we don't make teams set up their own matches, tournaments only last a few weeks at most and are not continually happening for an entire season. We're similar in that it's broken up into two parts, and the top teams from the initial part of the tournament are placed into a champion tournament.



A simple way to look at is considering each season to be unconnected to the others, a very simple bracket tournament. Not a league or competition for points.

DJ Logicalia:
I, for one, like this idea a whole lot. The SCS is fun and all, but getting some new competitive events going would be really good for the scene. Expect StarBard to sign up /o/

Surette:
Okay, I guess I was thrown off by the use of the word "season" -- it sounds like each season is actually just a single tournament.

Thomas:
Bad news everyone!


So Howard talked to Tim, and Tim talked to Howard, then Howard talked to me, and we can't do workshop items for prizes! *sadface*

So it's only going to be badges for each season and the final. We can do a 'name an AI' and/or even physical items for the championship winners. The most popular is the bullet USBs. Then artbook, pins, or even t-shirts. Or that's what I've been told.


So the current plan is continue working on the badges and get those out. For the championship prizes, we're looking for feedback on what teams would want as a prize, and we should have that settled well before that time comes.

Thanks~

Skrimskraw:
just so you know for physical prizes and people living in other countries there is an extra fee of receiving you package. so probaly not worth it
