Lads, I'm sorrry but i simply can't give the time for this.
I've exam's now in less than a month.
If i have to forfeit my games, then fine by that.
Anyways,
I need to request that next month's ranbats (May 18th is the 3rd sat) be moved to the final saturday of the month anyway, since i have an exam that day (the 18th) and another 2 exams on the 20th and 21st, so, i won't have time for it the wkend of the 18th either.
I'd like to request that we have have a double session on the last sat of May, but, ofc, I'm aware that might not suit ppl.
If it doesn't suit, then it doesn't suit, no-biggy!
Here's some numbers for you guys to mull over:
Since we've 9 competitors, and everybody has to play everybody once, and going with the current number of games to win the set (max of 5, min of 3) in a set, and with the round time @ 80 secs you have:
Max time:
(36 total sets x 5 games x 5 rounds x 80 seconds per round) / 60 seconds [to convert the answer into minutes] = 1200mins of total play.
Min time:
(36 total sets x 3 games x 3 rounds x 80 seconds per round) / 60 seconds [to convert the answer into minutes] = 720mins of total play.
Obviously, the actual amount of play-time will be somewhere inbetween that, since not all games will go to the wire.
So,
Giving 60mins for warm-up, and 20mins or so of delay time (this is time allotted for chopping and changing of ppl coming on/off a set-up) We have a total time of;
3 set-ups: 266.6~426.6 mins, which is 4hrs 27mins~ 7hrs 7mins .... (obviously the real time will be somewhere inbetween that)
2 set-ups: 400~640 mins, which is 6hrs 40mins~ 10hrs 40mins ...
3 set-ups: 6hrs 37mins~ 9hrs 17mins
2 set-ups: 8hrs 50mins~ 12hrs 50mins
Conclusion;
1) Personally, I can't afford anywhere near that time at the moment, so, sorry.
2) Clearly having 3 set-ups is REALLY gonna cut down the play time
3) Having it first to 2 instead of 3 will drastically reduce the total play-time ( i can post the numbers if ppl wish)
4) Since the unchanging factors, suchs as time allotted for travel is so great in comparisson to the play-time, its well worth it , for myself atleast, and i would argue the same for anyone who has a bus ride of close to an hour, to do a double ranbats session on 1 day.
Apologies for the long post.
I aint trying to put anyone of going or anything like that.
You guys all know I LOVE playing the game, and personally, I'd gladly sit in the XGC and play all day anyway, but, I have to prioritize.
And, I know a lot of you weren't happy with the amount of time spent playing the last day so thought i'd give you some real numbers to work with.0 -

@Fergus:
Yeah, the times i had originally posted where quite off....sorry. I've eddited them now.
It would be more accurate if i was to take the average set time and do the calculations that way but i just wanted to give ppl a rough idea.
In all honesty fergus, it will probably take that 6hrs (for a normal ranbats session), unless we were to add another set-up.
Regarding the "first to 3" issue:
I can completely see your point.
To compensate we could add more points for winning a game/set?
Having re-done the calculations(see above), it would be almost impossible to do a double set in one day unless we were to add another set-up and/or change the number of rounds to win a game and/or change the number of games to win a set.
@ or current format, adding a fourth set-up would mean the max time would be 5hrs 20mins, minimum time of 3hrs 20mins.
Basically, it takes off 2hrs.
So, the question is, is it feesable?
Well,
We get charged 2.50 an hour, so, to play for 5hrs with 4 set-ups would be 50euro.
We're 5euro short!
However,
To play for 7hrs with 3 set-ups is 52.50....we're 7.50 short!! lol! (hence why we all had to give a bit extra to myself the last day!!
)
No matter what way ya look at it guys we need to cough up an extra ~50cent each.
I'd gladly go out and buy a copy of tekken for PS3 (mind you, i dont own a PS3) if ppl would agree to play on 4 set-ups.
(i'm hoping also that you (fergus) bought a copy for ps3 too tho! ) 0 -

I think we're best with our current format and 4 setups. Timeouts are rare enough anyway so I don't think changing the timer has a massive impact. This is all assuming that all rounds go down to the last second which h isn't really that common. 4 setups is the way to go imo. Extra euro a head isn't gonna hurt anyone. Also we need to be stricter with times. We started pretty late last time.
I propose that we start 12 noon (sharp)

I'm perfectly happy to keep the format as it is.
Was simply presenting the option(s) and their likely results.
I gave the maximum time since it gives a better idea of the time to be allotted.
Not that it would actually impact anything or that timeouts were a factor, but, in the absence of some actual average round time i felt it was the best data to put forward.
I am a physics student after all!
Neways,
I'm with you fergus on the 4 set-ups.
As for a starting time....
Well...
We tried to get ppl to come in @ 2 the last day and sure we didn't get started till after 4.
If ppl want to finish earlier then they need to come in earlier.
To be fair, and without meaning to sound like a p***k...
We all need to acknowledge that doing this ranbats on any given day is going to be over 4hrs long.0 -
