[RGL9] Introduction + Applications (Sign ups Deadline 19th)

[John Price]

Another year has come and gone and it is once again it is time for NW's premier Regimental Groupfighting League to host another season. This season myself and the organisers were discussing how we can improve upon the last, which as I am sure many of us know its quite difficult to innovate upon something as cut and dry as Groupfights. We even had some suggestions such as allowing 1 sword per side to spice things up a bit. Although that would have been quite funny, its naturally not acceptable for RGL. One thing that will be done, is once the first few weeks are over, we will have the most important match(es) of each swiss round streamed with some commentating. Something that we did do a little during RGL8 and EIC which was quite fun. Last season was unfortunately fabled to be one of the biggest RGL's to date with some ambitious goals in mind. Now unfortunately as we all know, that season almost did not happen until myself and Kore took over, resulting in many things having to be cut. Notably, the previews and player stats. Since last season however I have brought on new moderators to assist in the hosting of the tournament, which I am happy to announce brings the return of Player Stats & Leaderboards! Special thanks to Yovko for offering to take up the task (although that load will be shared where we can). In the previous few seasons the way match seeding was done (even though it was round robin) was by selecting the matchweeks based on match "excitement". Keeping the biggest matches for the end of the season to make it feel like there is a final. Instead of this very roundabout way of doing a standard group format, we have taken the decision to instead change to a Swiss system format. This means that matches are seeded weekly based on regiment performance. One criticism for this format is some teams may have an match or two with not as much meaning to the league table standings. However, this issue would exist in the old format as well. Part of the reason I have pushed to try out this change is because I do not expect nearly as many sign ups as RGL has had in previous seasons. Last season League 3 was a joke due to the amount of drop out regiments. I would prefer to have larger groups of quality games than that alternative. Depending on sign ups, RGL9 will be comprised of one large Swiss group, or 2 smaller round robin groups split by Leagues (same as the old format). In order to have 2 League's we would need to aim for roughly 16 sign ups.  The number of Swiss System rounds will also naturally depend on the number of sign ups. The key thing is to allow all regiments an adequite amount of time on the server regardless of your skill. Sign-ups Opening: 2nd of February First Week Matches: 20th of February **     Hosts: Chriseh, Kore Moderators: DarkTemplar, Gi & Yovko Format: Swiss / Round Robin (15 +)

Below is a short list of positions on the admin team that I am looking to fill. Note that this would just be your main focus should you be interested, you can helpout elsewhere as well if thats what you want.

Writer -> We are looking for writer(s) with experience in the tournament community to create previews, interviews and other similar content. Although I am a writer by trait, I am not involved enough in the comp community now to write pieces like this. Graphist -> The RGL Gfx have not been updated in a while, if there's someone out there who would like to throw some things together for us, that would be great. Statistician -> Yovko will be heading the stats side of RGL9, however it would be good to have a pair of hands or more to assist with this as there are a lot of names to go through. I am attempting to write a fresh script which can dump stats from logs, into a basic Access DB but as the servers are not mine, its a little bit tricky to do this effectively.

I am not the best hype builder ever but thank you for taking the time to read. I realise that not everyone will appreciate the change to the format (if it does happen), nor do some people really like me hosting tournaments but I hope you respect me enough as an organiser to know I will see it through, as I have done with every other tournament I host (we don't talk about that CSGO one ).
