19 10v10 Spring Tournament 2020

I just want to say, despite all some of drama caused in this tournament it was still good to watch from an outsider PoV, I watched mainly all the games live and if I didn't I would catch the VoDs. Somethings I'd would like to see different in terms of structure of the tournament is the point system was iffy deducting points for caps against etc. A Game 2 should have been scheduled between Spacebar/CWS has it would have dictated potentially one of teams not landing in 1st. Or since there were no actual rules about what a draw would lead too it's either a W or L therefore it should been a Loss on both teams.

Tournament ofc was rushed maybe some weeks notice and people could of scrummaged up a team and add more teams potentially in the tournament or ones that would have been more reliable ie Best in Show no showing round 1, etc. But any event is good for the bracket and it is hard to run and manage a tournament. A 3rd Place match would be nice as well and do no harm btw.

Also to all the drama regarding CWS playstyle, it's all within T.O.S / not breaking any traditional premade rules. You can't tell a guild not to play a certain way that works for them to help favor yourself. It is like telling Shaq he can't dunk a ball cause no one is tall enough to guard him on your team. Regarding the specific 3 Hour game, I think it's a pride issue also due to the structure of the tournament and the point system. The game had its opportunity, and their coulda been a cap at one point in favor of spacebar and from their morals of players change on both sides for good and bad, and then who knows where the game leads from there. Also, take into consideration the multiple bathroom breaks and dead time in the game helps adds up to those 3 Hours. To think a game again would go that long with 0-0 scoreboard is absurd it only goes that way if you make it that way.

People should be willing to play whenever possible, should be thankful thanks to classic their are multiple teams to fill 10 to play. It has revived twinking.

A suggestion I would do is each leader/team (cws spacebar) do an anonymous vote to see how much of there players are truly down to play and how many refuse. bandwagon effect where maybe a hand select few are against it, and others that want to still play, shouldn't exclude each others guilds from playing cause each other leaders have differences. This is something that CWS did to me with Havoc by not signing up for Mankrik Pugmades for whatever reason, and now Spacebar is doing a Similar thing to CWS.

I hope your guys silly differences doesn't affect Mankrik Pugmades leading forward or the bracket in the general, you guys will eventually have to play each other again at some point as well so best to make up somehow.

Shaq example is silly. Sports are for entertainment and plenty of rules exist to maintain a high level of entertainment. No one has said CWS is cheating/breaking rules, but that some people find their style of play not entertaining. Classic 19 premades aren’t some organized esport so of course it would never be easy for rules to be created to address certain things affecting the entertainment of games, so the best thing players can do is police it themselves which is what Spacebar is choosing to do. I’m assuming everyone is playing this game for fun, and if some part of it isn’t fun it would be stupid to participate in it. It’s no different for CWS and thinking splits aren’t that fun, just stupid to do anything in this game for any reason other than enjoyment
 
Fair warning. Do not post a sports analogy unless you're supremely confident in it. It will be analyzed and picked apart by a representative of the QB Room.

Hass, how is that final tally for the FUN awards coming along? JohnnyU is dying of suspense.
 
Gonna be removing the sticky from this thread now that the tournament is over, to free up some space for future events or resourceful content. Great work on the tournament even though the finals didn't take place, the main objective was to have fun and host an event to encourage more games between guilds!
 
a few ideas, not sure if they are good or not and you dont need to impliment any or all of them for all tournaments..
  • not having either of these 'contentious' guilds in the next tournament. Maybe some of the players from these guilds can spread around to help skill up other teams / fill out slots or at least not play 'under a guild tag'. I realise there are server issues here but a lot of players have multiple toons. Remove any guild ego and just have some enjoyable games.
  • other sized tournaments, 5v5s etc
  • 'anything goes' tournament with no consumable restrictions.
  • class limits such as no druid/pally or no class limit
  • elimination game - you die, you're out
  • sudden death - first cap wins
  • random other limits that might mix up compositions
I dunno about you guys but i just want to play.

Also, if you guys are all worried about a 3h stalemate, why not just set a time limit at which point you call it a draw if it's still 0-0... just sayin.

Deathballs are diminished in effectiveness the more burst you introduce to a bracket. If you're concerned about Deathballs, allow all engineering 19 options.

I personally told you that my excel document is corrupted and I'm not going back and counting all over again. Screens are there for those that would like to do that.

Work on your warsong game instead trolling/wearing masks ya PLEB :rolleyes:
