Hi all,
I'm looking to get another Reg tournament off the ground within the next month or so but would just like to gauge interest here and also have some input into some areas of rules, assuming such an event is of interest to the reg population left in the game.
I'll keep this post as short as possible but essentially the format I would like to host is a 2v2 (lines), general outlook of the tournament below.
- 8 teams (16 regs needed)
- 2 groups, 4 teams each (each team fights only 3 matches in group-stage).
- Proceed on to upper and lower brackets for knock-outs (each team fights 1 or 2 matches in knock-outs).
- In theory tournament should only take 5-6 weeks, much like how I ran NWBC last year (except the final but lets not talk about that...)
- Match rules very similar to those of typical 1v1 tournaments.
- Camping should be less of an issue in a 2v2 but a warning based rule can be included to keep this under control.
- Min. attendance to matches of 25-30? (ie. 12/15 minimum per regiment).
- Roster based sign-up to prevent double regging.
- Preferred 1 ref sign-up per regiment; there would only be 18 matches played in the entire tournament so if this was the case then each ref would only need to ref 1 match (in theory)
I'm hoping that such an event would strike a good balance between a typical 1v1 tournament and NWBC and I'm very interested to see how such matches would play out! Hopefully the short and snappy format would keep the event from dragging on too long. Please either leave a vote in the poll or a reply staking your interest/skepticism. Assuming there is an appetite for this please do raise your opinions on the various aspects up for discussion
Cheers all.
