Community Events / SCS change in management
« on: May 06, 2015, 06:32:37 pm »
just a notification to anyone interested that myself and Skrimskraw will no longer be running SCS. I think both of us have had our fill of GOIO, but of course Skrim can explain his own reasoning. To me, I never really planned how long I'd be with SCS but I never really imagined it'd last a year and now seems like a good time to call the job good and done. It's been a good run.

Right now it looks like DJ Logicalia and Ayetach will be taking over here from now, as always with the support of the many streamers, referees and others who've made the event possible to run. Best of luck keeping competitive alive without us. ;)

Thanks to the following, who have all in some way supported the event:

Skrimskraw
Fourth Oracle
Alistair Macbain
Mezhu
Mattilald Anguisaud
Imagine
Letonator
Ayetach
Daniel
Hunter
Urz (sorry for copying :D)

Sunday Community Skirmish on Facebook
SCS VoDs
The Sunday Community Skirmish is a double elimination tournament event that runs every week with occasional breaks. All matches are 2v2, time limited best of 1s and are normally streamed live on Twitch. Any team of 8 players is welcome to participate.

This signup thread is for the Skirmish at 7pm UTC on Sunday 3rd May (3pm EDT) The event is normally streamed by Fourth Oracle, as well as other streamers who vary from week to week. The details of all streams will be made clear on the day of or day before the event. The event has an expected runtime of 2-4 hours.

Signups should be posted in this thread and include a Steam/Skype contact and team name. Signups close at midday (UTC), or 8 AM EDT, on Saturday the 3rd of Mayl. Please try to avoid last minute signups.
The bracket and map rolls will be available soon after signups close. (brackets at http://goiocommunity.challonge.com/)
Participants will be contacted when their matches are starting, although it's encouraged to consult the bracket and keep track of the streams so you have a decent idea of when you will be playing.

The complete rules can be found in this document. There is now also a brief summary of the ethos behind the rules and structure of the event.

Please only sign up if you are confident of your ability to produce a full team of 8 players.

The event will continue to follow DOUBLE ELIMINATION format with best of one matches!
Time limit per match remains at 20 minutes, without extra time. Have a look at
this if you don't know how double elimination works.

New Teams Guide:
  • A team needs at least 8 players, all of whom should be available at the event's start time and for the duration of the event. You do not need to include an official roster in your signup. Teams are not required to have any clan affiliation and players are not required to always play for the same team (however playing for multiple teams on one day is not allowed).
  • Signups close at midday (UTC) (8 AM EDT) on the Saturday preceding the event. Your signup needs a team name and at least one contact, preferably with an emergency steam/skype contact. At least one of your contacts needs to be in-game when your matches start, otherwise we may be unable to find you and have to skip your matches.
  • The event bracket, map rolls and a full schedule will be available in this thread on the Saturday preceding the event.
  • When we are preparing to start your match, an organiser will contact you in game with the password and invite you to join them in the lobby. We normally start preparing lobbies 10-20 minutes before the event start.
  • Matches do not start at a set time, so it is best to be in game and ready to go for the entire duration of the event until you are eliminated (or win).
  • The stream links will also be made available in this thread. It's often helpful to watch the streams to have an idea of when your match will be starting.

Community Events / [NEW EVENT] SCS Grand Slam Tournament
« on: March 31, 2015, 07:58:32 pm »

SCS VoDs [UPDATED!]
The SCS Grand Slam Jam Tournament is a triple elimination tournament event that runs every week and will never have breaks, ever. Most matches are 2v2, time limited best of 5s and are normally streamed live on Twitch. Any team of 8 players, except, quite a lot of teams and players, are welcome to participate.

That's right, a new event! Not only that, it takes place on Saturday, one of the 6 days of the week previously unfortunate enough not to have its own SCS event.
The new event will take place every Saturday at 3PM EST. In light of the success of the new double elimination format, we are upgrading to the inherently superior triple elimination format and hope to implement this in all of our events soon.

We have arranged that each week the winner of the event receives a trip to Disneyland Paris with all expenses funded from previous SCS profits. You will be joined by the entire GOIO dev team.

Signup Rules:
  • All players must be in-game level 30 or under. This is part of our initiative to draw in the real players of GOIO, people who can't afford to spend their whole lives grinding up a high character level and the associated advantages, such as skill, which imbalance competitive anyway.
  • Ryders and SPQR may not participated under any circumstances, they just try too hard.
  • Mad Hatters get a bye to the final because they are obviously the best team but just not tryhard enough to claim the title.
  • Signups end in 24 hours, at midnight UTC 1/04/2014.
  • Signups must include a team name, three (3) captain photos and billing address.
  • Parental consent is required.
Event Rules:
  • All matches are on Paritan Rumble, we feel it's the most stable map and will minimise the recent problems due to slowdown.
  • Following the success of the double elimination event, more elimination is obviously better. The new event is triple elimination.
  • Event is best of 5 because a problem of Bo1 SCS and indeed many Bo1 events is that it is apparently too "random" and Mad Hatters keep getting knocked out early by flukes.
  • 10 hours are allowed for the event to finish as signups are unlimited and we are expecting a lot of interest.
  • Teams have been under stress by the short lobby timers, so we're extending it to 20 minutes.
  • Many games have been finishing without hitting the extended time limit, so it's too long. Match time limit is 5 minutes.
  • Only allowed ships are Goldfish and Pyramidion in order to minimise gimmick playstyles. You can still fly galleon if you need to be hipster.
  • Streamers are the only guys who seem to know what they're doing, and are held back by the limited perspective of spectators. They will now commander ships in-event to help you guys get your shit together. This rules also applies to referees, our job is too boring.
  • In light of recent complaints about the rules, there are no rules.
  • Skrim also told me some other rules to add but I forgot them. These will be phased in across the next few weeks of the event's inevitably endless lifetime.
  • only servers are EU and Oceania
Please only sign up if you are confident of your ability to produce a full team of 8 inexperienced players who aren't Ryders or SPQR.

A word from the SCS team:

Hey guys!

At SCS we take all our participants' feedback seriously. Keeping our fingers firmly on the pulse of community opinion, we've identified what is missing from GOIO's competitive scene right now. An event that is both open to all non-tryhard players and eliminates the threat of constant stomps by Ryders, or having to play against the Ryders, or SPQR who are, when you really think about it, quite similar to the Ryders.
We've noticed a few events targeted at the Saturday slot that reminded us that people actually play GOIO on Saturdays. But there don't seem to be a lot of uptake of these events. I mean, billions of people are awake on Saturday. Surely they could be playing GOIO? Maybe there just aren't good enough events on that day?
Hopefully this gives you a little insight into the long-planned event that we're introducing. We hope you are as excited as we are.

We'd like to apologise for the continuing VoD delays, we really shouldn't have got your hopes up because there are no VoDs, SCS is faked it's been a busy week with the preparations for the new event.

We should also note that we are taking art admissions to our tournament logo for 24 hours. Tournament will not run if there are no logo submissions.

Every match has a base time limit of 15 minutes. However each Bo3 has a "reserve" time of 10 minutes; if a match runs past 15 minutes it will draw on the reserve time for that Bo3. If a match passes 15 minutes and all reserve time has been expended, it will end immediately.
If a match is left tied by this system the effective winner of the match will be decided by the first kill, or a coin toss if no kill was scored. Scores will still be recorded as they were for posterity. This should ensure a Bo3 is never left tied.

Teams are allowed 5 minutes of lobby time after their game is scheduled to start. In a situation where a team do not make a fair attempt to be ready within this span it may be counted as a forfeit depending on whether the event is already running behind schedule.

Substitution/Disconnect Rules:
  • Nobody may play for more than one team on the same day.
  • The match referee is authorised to call pauses and allow substitutions midmatch at their own discretion - but NOT during engagements or situations that could easily break into engagements. A guideline is about 2 minutes for pauses/substitutions per team per match. However the referee can allow as many pauses as necessary at their own discretion. Only pauses clearly instructed by the referee are valid.
  • In the same way it is up to the referee to judge when a match restart is appropriate. Generally restarts should be avoided if kills have already been scored, however it is still an option in situations where lag/disconnects are severely affecting the progress and/or outcome of a match.
  • The timer may be reset or bonus time may be added in situations where time has been lost for reasons beyond the teams' control eg. disconnects or match restarts.

Additional Information:
  • All participants are asked to maintain the utmost respect for their fellow participants, viewers and event organisers. Referees are authorised to penalise teams for inappropriate behaviour of any kind, although in most cases this should be preceded by some kind of warning.
  • Please only sign up if you are confident of your ability to produce a full team of 8 players.
  • We attempt to balance the event bracket to create competitive, closely matched games. Unfortunately by doing so we cannot please everyone simultaneously. We will continue to try and make everyone's matches as enjoyable as possible; this includes doing our best to avoid repeated matchups from week to week.

New Teams Guide:
  • A team needs at least 8 players, all of whom should be available at the event's start time and for the duration of the event. You do not need to include an official roster in your signup. Teams are not required to have any clan affiliation and players are not required to always play for the same team (however playing for multiple teams on one day is not allowed).
  • Signups close at midday (UTC) on the Saturday preceding the event. Your signup needs a team name and at least one contact, preferably with an emergency steam/skype contact.
  • The event bracket and map rolls will normally be available, in this thread, on the Saturday preceding the event.
  • When we are preparing to start your match, an organiser will contact you in game with the password and invite you to join them in the lobby. We normally start preparing lobbies 10-20 minutes before the event start.
  • Matches do not start at a set time, so it is best to be in game and ready to go for the entire duration of the event until you are eliminated (or win).
  • The stream links will also be made available in this thread.It's often helpful to watch the streams to have an idea of when your match will be starting.
