Awesome, that's great news, cheers Badorties. And everyone else who has shown support for this. I've been a little busy the past couple of days but I'll post here my initial ideas about how I envisioned this thing running.
My idea was to have one big league that everyone who signed up will be in, all fighting against each other for the top spot. Stonebergftw posted some clever ideas from his CS tourneys (cheers mate!), but for now I think I'd like to see what one big league feels like rather than dividing it up into seperate divisions and leagues within a league. I like the idea that anyone can win, no matter what their rank or previous record looks like.
Basically, I was planning on setting it up in Rounds, a bit like survivor but with no voting or immunity. Each round will have different Groups (Group A,B,C etc). These groups consist of players randomly chosen at the start of the round. At our current numbers, it would be about 10 groups in round one, if it was 5 player games, seeing as we have around 50 people. Each round you could change up things like amount of players in each game, maps and settings. But within each round every game would have the exact same settings as each other to keep it equal. After all the games of the round are complete, new randomisation occurs and we move into the next round with the new groups.
The goal is to reach a set number of wins, say 5, to be crowned the ultimate winner. If more than one person hits 5 wins within the same round, then it moves on to being 6 wins required. If it happens again it goes on to 7, and on and on again until The One emerges. Hopefully it will be exciting stuff whatever happens.
A scoreboard would be posted somewhere seperate, with everyones names listed up in order of wins. After each round we are going to have a lot of winners if the games are small, but I like this because it makes it really anybodys game. Perhaps we could make games get steadily larger as it progresses to make it even tougher. There would also be a place for the All Time Winners.. because this thing doesn't have to stop after one run-through and I really hope it doesn't. After a winner has been named, people are free to go on their way or stick around and go again. Anyone else wanting to join up would be accepted in at this point, OR maybe can just hop in mid-way if people are cool with it. Not like they get an advantage by doing so, just the opposite. I really want to build this thing so it's as fun and inclusive as possible.
