(... as mentioned in Thoughts and Conclusion on MoAre5 - from an Admins Point of View )
For a few weeks, I have been thinking about hosting (/co-hosting) APAC, a 1v1 Arena Tournament , but most likely smaller and less prestigious than the Master of Arena Tournaments.
The idea is to have a tournament mainly for Arena players, but that doesnt necessarily mean that any "non-Arena player" cant participate. That also means there is not as much focus on the viewers (compared to BoA for example).
Some major questions arise and I would like to know your opinion. (If APAC will actually happen, then the players will be asked to give their opinion about the rules/settings and only then decisions will be made.)
What do you think:
- time: now / in a few weeks / in a few months / Arena TG tournament first / etc.
- Duration: one weekend / few weeks / few months / etc.
- Signups: Open Signup / Invitational / Open+Invitational / etc.
- Number of Players: not limited / limited / depending on number of signups / ...
- Seeding (probably a tough one): 1v1 Rating / Highest Rating achieved / Number of Arena rated 1v1 Games / Success in 1v1 Arena Tournaments / seeding done by players poll / how to seed overall Top Expert 2k4+ / etc.
- Tournament Mode: Qualification Stage / Round Robin / Group Stage / Single Elimination / Double Elimination / Swiss Format / Loser Bracket to fight for 3rd and 4th place (I have some idea on that one) / etc
- Civilizations: Random Switch / Mirror / Draft / Ban-Pick from Pool of "fair" Civ-Matchups (Switch in 2nd Game) / etc.
- Wall HP: 900 / 1800 / somewhere inbetween
- Streaming&Spectating: Completely Open / Official Streamers / PoV-Streams allowed? with or without delay / Spectators allowed or not / etc.
Did I miss some important points here? Let me know any suggestions you have!
