Pick a civ between few civ avaible
Pick a civ between few civ avaible
Or something like that
Anyway not an 1v1 stuff let’s 2-2 or 3-3 . If an arina player think he is better than another one that don’t agree he is free to challenge him into some BO 1v1, ez
Rank the signups by regular elo.
Highest elo gets to pick his opponent in first round.
Then next highest elo gets to pick his opponent from what's remaining.
and so on till everyone has a round 1 opponent.
Each play a 3 game set.
If a player loses all 3 games they are knocked out, if they win 1 they can continue.
Then you rank all players left by their win ratio, and next by regular elo for ties.
Highest winrate+elo gets to pick his opponent in 2nd round.
and so on till everyone has a round 2 opponent.
Each play a 5 game set
If a player doesn't win 2 games they get knocked out.
Then you use that last win ratio for seeding the tournament, where tied you use the previous win ratio, where tied you use regular elo.
(or you could keep going with this until the end or another round longer)
What this does:
1) This basically lets the players rank each other because they choose the opponent they think they can beat which leads to the seeding
2) Should cause the strong players to stay in the tournament unless there's a serious upset (which would be entertaining)
3) Allows these games to happen faster as their is no dependency till the round is over
4) Allows the games between top players and lower players to still be entertaining because they don't want to get knocked out, and the top player would want to get seeded higher so each game matters
5) ty gman
I don't know anything about tournament structuring, maybe there's a name for this.
Map: For me, you need a custom arena map, you can´t get 5 golds in ur base and other guy 1 gold fwd, is just imposible in most of the cases. (fair map)
Civilizations: for sure captain mode, all the games, there is many many civilizations and with hidden civiliz the strategy and mind games are just great to watch, and make everything exciting, if maybe is too much, maybe i would just leave the decider game for a FREE PICK hidden, never mirror (even mirror can happen)
Rounds: Never Round Robin, Never Double Elimination, Swiss into semis + grand final, or what i think still probably the best, single elimination, win or go home.
Players: Best 32 make the main event, if you want open for more just make some qualification, but this community has not 64 super strong players, and if it has they don´t sign up arena tournaments, so 64 is in most of the cases a waste of 1 week, 1st round of a great tournament must be competitive, not a waste of time (no offence for anyone, but viper vs a 17x in 1st round was only good for the 17xx cuz he got the chance to play theviper, but tournaments in my pov must be great competitive events, not a "charity" were you can meet your idol)
To Kereon and all admins thanks so much, and thanks for ur words about the coverage mr. kereon
