Muse have suggested that in the long term they would like to implement the features that were mentioned as stretch goals.

As you may see, we now have an SCS VoDs link. The uploads are by no means complete (afaik we have partial recordings for most of the events to date) but uploads should be done for the last couple of Sundays during this week and after that we will aim to keep up to date while gradually working back to cover all past content we have. Thanks to streamers for the recordings and especially Heldigris for managing the edit & upload process.

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 8pm UTC on Sunday 22nd March (4pm 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 21st of March. 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.

Fourth Oracle can not cast today. Hopefully Urz will be able to stream instead at http://www.twitch.tv/urzy. Otherwise there may be a casterless stream on Fourth's channel.
Streams will be confirmed just before the event.

We're aware of issues with Paritan Rumble and Duel at Dawn.
Since the Paritan issue is definitely a bug, we will be keeping an eye on it and it will not be in the map rolls if the issue is still common by Sunday.
As a balance issue, Duel is less clear cut and we're not eager to restrict the already small pool of maps. We will be making a decision on this map over the next couple of weeks; further feedback is welcome. Don't forget to also submit balance feedback to Muse, as that's the only way to a permanent solution!

If anyone has any feedback on our first event with the double elimination structure here is a good place to put it.

Yes, there will be a second finals match if the Match G loser was previously undefeated.

Ok so this week we are switching to double elimination format (so if you lose a match you get a 2nd chance against a different team). It is something of an experiment but one we are hoping we will be able to retain. We are hoping this will alleviate some of the issues the event has had with mismatched games as well as allowing teams to face a greater variety of opponents in a shorter timespan. Mainly it's to ensure that the event can fill its primary goal, of giving all teams an opportunity for weekly matches, more effectively even for teams that are defeated in the early stages of the event.
Given the major structure change it shouldn't be a surprise if some fine tuning is necessary over the next few weeks. In particular we'll be observing whether a further extension to the match time limit should accompany the switch to double elimination. Please bear with us.
