Suggestions if we're going to make this serious...
1. If we're going states, we need to do pool play AND THEN SINGLE Elimination
Why?
Because doing single elimination would be WAY too drawn out. Plus we dont have the server capcity
Maybe something like the UEFA Champion League where they have group play and then go single elimination.
That way we can assign match dates for states...
As far as tiebreakers go.
COMBINED POINTS!
I would hate for people to move on in a close match because Snuts was the highest or Cyn happened to get more points then the next offensive class.
-----------------------
2. If we're doing regions (which would put the ease on us), lets get some region captains going and do either one of 3 things
-do it up pug style from people available in their regions
-do tryouts for the regions
-Make thread and then discuss who's going to play for their region.
3. Servers and Game play type
-----------------------
We'll need to either do this on days where people can show up or make it a week period where anyone would play
Maybe weekends?
I would be nice if we could get another server or 2 just for the event
Also, I think 8v8 would work proper for something like this
-----------------------
Explanation of format for the people who don't understand
Break down into groups with even number of states
Group play makes states in the same group play each other once
Top x in group move on, others are eliminated
After group play, states that move on from group would be randomly seeded and play single elimination until
winner is determined
