"The Cogs" Week 8 - Discussion

(1/9) > >>

Moriarty:
This is going to sound critical, so keep in mind I'm not intending to give offense.

This idea automatically enters 80+ people into what is likely to be a 5hour event. Which is a thing I'm not sure i want to go through again, especially if its forced on me without the  courtesy of consultation - and the secrecy regarding rules is a bit of a cherry on top in this regard.

Needless to say i see a people management problems with this approach.

However to help discussion and add something constructive i would propose that if and when these problems occur you might like to consider a classic 2v5 3v4 winner face each other to see who plays the minor premier (fairly standard, and has the advantage of only being one match longer then a normal cogs week).

Or any other system really - Leave the tournament as a separate thing.

Chango:
yeah, I do agree with Moriarty. Less people are going to be able to show up to such an event. Most clans have troubles getting people to commit a couple hours on a saturday, let alone this much. I don't think you should change the rules of the Cogs mid-season. The Cogs were never ment to be the only event. If you want a final tournament blow out celebration, it should be scheduled as a different event.

I just think that part especially is what gets people a little bit.  There's no shame in asking the players and captains about wether or not they agree with format changes;- after all they're the ones participating and without players you have no event.

Trying to bring variety and a change of pace is good and most will likely applaud that effort;- it's just the tone of it in which people are presented with changes forced upon them without room to leave feedback prior to changes to figure out wether or not everyone is on the same page.

I agree with zitrus:)
Our team is having organization problems even now, on normal Cogs, and such big tournament isn't possible for us now.
Current Cogs are nice in case of it's shortness - anyone can play, having any amount of free time.
