Sunday Community Skirmish: New optional blind pick mode
Hunter.:
Pros: feels more professional, makes it feel like a "real esport"
Referee inboxes in game can be cluttered due to lots of messages and a "not so robust" messaging system, this removes steam friending from the duties of a ref and allows this organisation to be done from a single link available to all as opposed to having to friend each ref.
Cons: We have to make the form
Filling a form online from a link is more hassle than friending referees for newer players?
Will fix formatting when I get back to my PC, hope it is readable!
Urz:
The Sky Tournament which I ran over two years ago used Google Forms for blind picks.
I've included some screenshots:

I'm of a similar opinion to what Thomas wrote above, in that I'm not sure it would be more efficient or is suitable for the purposes of SCS.
Lueosi:
I was looking into the Google Forms idea myself and played a little bit around with it. It definitely puts a lot of organizational stuff away from the referees at cost of slightly more interaction of teams. But what I was missing (maybe I didn't find) was the possibility to view live results after the pick stages (and not earlier).
Also I asked the mods to update this topic with a new ruleset for this week's SCS. Since that hasn't happened so far, here is the text template (forum syntax maybe hard to read). Basically as I said before: two stage pick this week (still optional)
DJ Logicalia:
As a regular point of contact for a regular team, I'd be willing to fill out a Google doc if its what is going to work best for the SCS

Well here is the alpha version of my form, not too complex to fill out quick but shows a full loadout to the ref which is saved and viewable. Also easy to update between weeks to clear the database.
(also reminded me that next week is SCS #69.. get it? 69? teehee)
