i may be jumping ahead here but.... do we know who will be the top 5 in each participating areas.

this way we can get an idea on who will and will not participate and if the players want to be listed on a top 5 nation wide.

If you want to do full round robins between all the teams that's 31.25 hours of gameplay assuming a SF4 match takes 3 minutes.

Once a format for the event would be decided it wouldn't be too hard to assign top fives - maybe a little harder in Dublin, what with the larger player pool. Realistically every area knows who their top fives are, even if they're too polite to go shouting about it. Hell, that's pretty much what the Seed Lists from the various events are for.

If one of those five doesn't want to to go, then someone else can be picked.

Making team of five isn't remotely the difficult part here.

That's only assuming every game takes the maximum amount of time.
Munster will OCV every other province, so it'll go nice and quick.

I said "full round robins" meaning you play out all the games, not just first to 13.

edit: And 3 minutes isn't the maximum time for an SF4 game, I took it as an average.

Can any team of 5 enter? or is it restricted to only one team per area?

Points for most creative team name!

Jaysus you're no fun at all.

This sounds like a really good idea!

31.25 hours divided up between even just four set-ups is just under 8 hours per set-up, more than doable considering how much time we had at the last DoC.

Would like to see this in action. LESSSSSSGOOOOOO MUNSTER!

Pokemon style would be the most practical with one team from each region.

SAIRUS! I CHOOSE YOU!


What's Pokemon style?

ayjayirl

Character Lock?

Seems fair since there are 5 on a team.

Fcuk off, I'm not getting into a pokeball for anyone.

UberPrinny_Baal

Is Pokemon style where one player can OCV an entire other team?

It seems that or doing round-robin long term over several event (league style) are the only options.

chopperbyrne

Yeah, one person can OCV in five straight games.

If we do this with a league between all teams it could be done in a day no problem.

K.O.Kiki

IIRC, there's also Gods Garden-style:

Winner stays on, BUT team captain can switch them out 2 times even if they win.
Or something like that.

Doyler01

Maybe Pokemon style, then top 2 teams Round Robbin for the final?

Winners should all earn the win.

Silver Steeez

Sounds good , id tweak the format abit tho id say the dublins team go's half health , know that sounds like a tournament !

Why limit to one team a region?

bin round robin*, and limit team members to region specific but multi teams.

That way useless ****s like me can still play on the rejects team, attending the event otherwise, without hope of even getting a casual doesn't really appeal.


*This brings up the problem of OCV's which we shall call Kiki's paradox.

To get round this, the format could be each team member plays one game, win or lose. The order chosen by team captain.

Shokashi

just an idea. if this is sticking to a 5 man team for each region Inc Dublin and this may be done every year. why spend all that money to make your way there just to get a trophy, why not each member of the team put in 50 euro each for the winners to get a good pay off. that 1250 euros in total. only once a year and and it wont be hard to save up 50 euros in a year.

if more team are joining then the pay off will be better and worth fighting for.

I am totally not up for paying €50 into a tournament :pac:

You do remember that it costs us €25 to even get to Dublin too, right?

It should be part of a bigger event. Look at the international tournaments that get West Coast v East Coast, USA vs the World, Good vs Evil, etc. It's something different. ANY event could run a 5v5 tournament / teams tournament...This should be part of something bigger and different. eg. EVO Qualifier.

Why not just gather all the money we can and burn it? I don't mind putting in 15 euro to play in tournaments I have no chance of winning but 50 euro no.
