This is fantastic. Good news.

 

[Juve]

Huzzah!

 

[Calamity]

Everyone should thank Cradoc for putting the time to do stats. It will be updated every week. No tournament to my knowledge has done it like this. 

 

[Gelden]

Yeah it's really good news.

We're still picking through all the stickies and making sure they're organised/easy to read/worded correctly etc.

Any suggestions would be welcome to make this awesome for you guys.

Happy 4th of july btw muricans.

Suggestion: The wnl does this thing where they have like transfer days. The rule is you can join a team at any time if you're not on a team, but you can only transfer from one team to another during a "transfer period" which happens every 2 weeks. Obviously this works more because they have a ladder system, but you might want to think about something because I remember some controversy of people from knocked out teams joining new teams in the last tournament

 

[Gelden]

Yeah I figure some sort of rule will be made to block the type of transfer you mentioned (transferring from a dead team).

As for the "transfer market" idea, I kinda like it.  It sort of works like the transfer market in Football (soccer).  We don't have a lot of players moving about though with the amount of teams we have, so would you say there's much point for it?

Also, about the roster rule that substitutions take 24 hours after a PM to William or Calamity. Wouldn't it be better if it was 24 hours after a public post, so that way the teams fighting will know and not have to rely on William or Calamity to post about it? Also it would be publicly timestamped.

I know this was posted awhile ago but i'll go ahead and +1 this just as a reminder.

So, 1.157 is being released on Monday. It has a lot of changes to multiplayer, so this will majorly affect the tournament. My question is, what should we do?

We could keep playing on 1.153, but I don't think people want to be playing an outdated version for four months. We could just switch to 1.157 when it comes out, but that would make the first round completely different than all the other rounds of the tournament. Or we could delay the first round and have the matches already played be the "warm-up" round. What do you guys think?

Also, I would like to officially solve the map issue once and for all, so could we have another meeting to discuss both of these issues?

 

[LeRoux]

Since matches have already been played, I'd make week one 1.153 for sure.
Could always change afterwards.

 

[findecanno]

Well, since Monday will be the steam update, just make week one on the old patch, all the other matches on the new patch.

 

[Nord Champion]

Fair 'nuff.

Posted this in maps, will post here again.

However, I would suggest removing Port Assault and adding in Village. Port Assault is such an atrocious map. Village is much more balanced, has a lot of tactical maneuverability and a huge number of choices for feasible archer/infantry positioning.

Well, I should rephrase. I'm not talking about the map additions (whether to keep them or not), I just think that only having two categories (open, closed) is not ideal for this tournament. I would like to get Open, Closed, Mixed categories back which would mean more leniency towards map choices. In fact, I would rather just choose from all of the maps available than choosing four maps from two categories.

With the Khergits getting rebalanced in the new patch I think it could be wise to try them out in some matches and see if they are more viable and see if we want to use them in this tournament and please don't reply about how bad and unbalanced they are until you've tried them out in the new patch

I agree.

Unless I misunderstood Calamity, UNAC will remain a 1.153 tournament. As such the khergit balances won't be in this tournament (this may be incorrect information)

Even if it was updated, I don't think we should consider bringing Khergits into UNAC. Testing them out for next tournament? Absolutely, but not this one as its already started.
