I keep having this idea that I think would be really cool. I think this bracket would be great for it too, it seems more balanced and it’s on a much more even ground then 20/29s. And 19s seem to be doing fine with the Twink Cup. Let me know what you think…
I want to bring the idea of a professional sports league to WoW. Much like the NFL or NHL.
I want to form teams, draft players, stream the games, and have a playoff system.
Here's how it breaks down:
Team Leads
You are the owner/coach. I think this should be appointed based on bracket standing, how much do you contribute. But anyone that is willing to put the time in; form groups, watch film, plan strategy, etc should be able to apply. We’ll have a set amount, maybe 10 teams, depending on how many players we get. You will be in charge of drafting and scheming for BGs and players must respect that role.
Players
This I think is the coolest thing. You want to play a bad ass tank everything character, declare yourself to the draft as such. You want to play support, declare as support. You can play more than one role, whatever characters you have. I think most people tend to favor one and the Owners would be looking for that.
Ex.) Hey “name” this is “name” from the “team name”, we love how you play support. We want to bring you in as a Lock class to run cc for us. We also love your healing abilities, so we’d like to have play your healer if we are vsing a damage heavy comp.
And then during the draft it would, yes, go like:
With the 1st round overall draft pick, the “team name” selects “name” from “server”.
Teams
The draft would go as such until every team had 20 players. We would randomly pick a draft order first go around, with successive drafts based on your win/loss ratio (lower teams get a higher pick to improve). You team is run by your leader. We would have to have rules about what constitutes a “full team” for a match, maybe 80%? I would just sync Qs to pick up randoms as needed. They are sort of like undrafted free agents. If you are under 80% staffed you team sacrifices the match. The next game would start 15 mins after maybe, just like if the game was actually happening. This would give people more time to log, so it isn’t 3 quick losses in a row.
Contracts
You would sign a contract to play with the team. You don’t have to actual sign but you would pledge your allegiance for the season or 2, whatever you guys had worked out. If you are “under contract” you will be unable to move, unless the Owners agree to a trade. We don’t want people just jumping ship randomly. If you absolute hate your team the season will be over in 4-8 Sundays, it’s not a huge deal. Enter the draft again and see if you can get picked up.
Season
I want to do short seasons, maybe 1-3 months. “Games” would actually consist of 3 matches, one after the other. Win is 2 points, Tie is 1 point, Loss is 0 points. There would be a predetermined schedule at the beginning of each season listing opponents and battleground. 3 matches a week for 4 weeks so a possible 20 points you could get. There would be 1 day a week you would play your games, against the same team; so it wouldn’t be a huge commitment. I think it would be great to coincide each season with the actual seasons of the year. A winter session and such. I’m sure the summer one would be the most popular but that’s ok. That would be interesting.
Playoffs
We take the top point teams and host a playoffs. I would do best of 9 I think, with games working the same as regular season, 3 per week, all in a row. The first team to win 5/9 moves on.
I would love to see [MENTION=11761]Hunnybuns19[/MENTION] get involved as I think it would grow the bisnation a ton. You could host podcast much like a sports radio program, I think that would be awesome to hear. Also I think [MENTION=7986]Livingforce[/MENTION] is big in this bracket.
These are just ideas and I’ll have limited involvement really. So if someone wants to take this and run with it be my guest. I can offer a game scheduling/picking program of some type if we get there. Thoughts?
