December Drill; A Duck Divvying of Dclans (the D is silent)

I wish to do a simple event as we head into the holiday season of December. My goals are simplicity, flexibility, and conciseness. While I love grand tournaments, as we move into December I know that many people will have restrictive schedules on the weekends. This obviously makes competitions difficult as teams will be unable to bring their 100% to the weekends. So here is what I would like to put forward.
Saturday at 4pm EST, 9PM UTC (Cogs time)
8 teams (6 or 10 also workable, as long as we’re even)
4 best of three matches
No time limit for matches
Random maps released prior to event
Live Stream each match for 45 minutes before moving onto the next with the main stream. If stream team is large enough, we may have people take over stream. Regardless the next pairing will begin 50 minutes (5 minutes to switch things) after the start of the one before it
No ladder, no champion, no reward outside of enjoying your matches.
This isn’t a tournament but instead just an attempt to bring together teams of players in Guns of Icarus for some streamed competitive matches. I think this would be fun and easy to put on some great matches. Also unlike other tournaments where you have to clear a whole afternoon as you might have to continue on in the tourney, you basically only need to clear perhaps an hour and a half around your match. While this loses the fun of a tournament, being free from that pressure could help for around the holidays.
Method of pairing will be first come first serve of teams signing up for a time. Privately contact me through the forums requesting a time and I will update this doc accordingly. Steam and Skype are also fine. Who chose what will be revealed once a time slot is completely filled.
4:00 a
4:00 b
4:50 a
4:50 b
5:40 a
5:40 b
6:30 a
6:30 b
This can be expanded if there is enough interest. Sign ups will open December 3 at 4PM EST or 9 PM UTC
Now this is all in a google doc as well as this forum post. Once the forum post goes live, this will continue to be updated as the official rules. Rules will be set in stone once sign ups open. Feel free to comment and critique as well as point out anything I have missed.

As Sammy and I discussed, the Gents and the Hatters will face off against one another in the 5:40 slot. Do let us know if anyone else steps up!

Alright at twenty hours out I will go ahead an say this it for teams which means there will be three pairings. I will be streaming the first match between The Glowater Thralls and Sacreligious at 4:00 PM as well as the third match the Gents and the Mad Hatters at 5:40. This will be streamed at the Guns of Icarus channel at twitch.tv/gunsoficarus (http://twitch.tv/gunsoficarus). Helping out will be The Rob and Dan show who will be streaming the second pairing of Aeronautical Knights and Cake on their channel at http://www.twitch.tv/therobanddanshow (http://www.twitch.tv/therobanddanshow) at 4:50 PM EST.
I'll be in touch with all the teams in to set you up with the organizers. Enjoy your next twenty hours of peace!
-
And we've wrapped up the event. Thralls beat SAC, Cake beat AKs, and Gents beat Mad Hatters and awesomeness happened!
-
Just wanted to pop by and express how much fun I had today.
Knights, those were gosh darn fine matches.
Ducks, great idea. A few of my crew could only clear just over an hour today, and we probably could not have attended if we had to clear a whole afternoon.
Fun was had, fires were set, and it took me a good 5 minutes for the adrenaline of that last match to wear off.
GG HB Ducks.
Oh, and Sammy?
I'll take any Happy Meal toy that doesn't squirt water.
-
So we were thinking of doing this again this week. Any interest? I'll post a sign up tomorrow evening.
-
Possibly, but not this week. We need time to test the new patch.
-
just to be clear: I didn't sign up for this.
