Sunday Community Skirmish: New optional blind pick mode
Lueosi:
Hunter's suggestion made me think of an external tool we could use for advanced pick systems. Do you know of any existent pick/ban web solutions not bound to any particular game?
What we would need: pw authentication for team captains (no signup), live updates (draft system is publicly visible and immediately updates when changes are made), customizable system or code access, web space maybe

Still trying to find something that fits the bill, but most the stuff I find has only been bracket generators (similar to challonge which is already used for scs)
Though in theory..
Perhaps using something similar to Shivtr.com or Shivtr itself to create a tournament page and forums, using the tools it offers to make something like this...
The home page becomes the webspace, and it is very versatile in its arrangements, just use it for organisation rather than guild hub.. Just a thought.
Dementio:
External software might be a turn off for people, including people new to the competitive scene, so watch out. There would probably be less turn off for actual big tournaments that want blind pick too.
Hunter.:
As I said Lue, I wouldn't mind spending a few hours making a Google form with the required criteria for a solution. All I need to know is how detailed you want the form to be. Do you want it to include crew layouts or just ship loadouts?
Thomas:
Isn't that just a more complicated version of PMing the ref your loadout?
What benefits does this offer over PMing the ref?
How much time is it expected to be used between matches filling this thing out?
Some potential benefits is not having to keep track of refs, which isn't really an issue when they're the ones PMing you the match password. Wait for that then respond with your loadout. Then it's just easier on the ref since they have a reference sheet instead of trying to scroll up in the chat or quickly writing down particular builds. The consistent format would make it easier as well if it includes gun loadouts.
It's going to frustrate a lot of people who just want to play the game and don't want to deal with this kind of thing. Will make new teams less likely to be interested. Might actually take more time between matches to navigate to the form, fill it out, and hop back in.
