SWGO Tournament-Game Modes Poll

[Hobo]

We could talk about prizes, maybe.
What greater prize is there though, really, than bragging rights as best of SWGO?

"The winner gets SWGO admin powers"

that would get some people going.

Yes, that does sound better. Thanks for pointing that out, Doves. Please check the post again and see if that's all right.

I dont want to sound like a nag here, but i would suggest 3-4 flags and you should have a specified number of reinforcements, like 150-250.

You're not a nag, I want people to give feedback so I can build a tournament that the majority of the community would enjoy. Do you mean 3-4 flags on each team, or 3-4 in total? And we can specify any reinforcement numbers when game modes are chosen.

4v4 is out of the scope of the current community, I'm afraid.

When creating the poll, I had similar thoughts, but went away and put it in anyway. Right now, six people have voted for a 4v4 which means 1 and a half teams- this obviously isn't viable.

I really want to create a tournament that the whole community would enjoy, which is why I want (pretty much need) feedback from anyone on this. There's no point in me dictating that one tournament will be 1v1 Heroes, and another 2v2 Conquest. That would be ridiculous and not everyone would play. Please post any feedback on this thread and, if necessary, I can always create a new poll with amended game modes. Let's take our time making this happen, and that way we'll have a solid tournament.

I'd be in for any conquest match. Make the prize 1,000,000 imperial credits. Or SWGO bucks.

Couple questions though:
Are we playing SWGO rules or is TK on for the matches?
Also are heroes going to be on? I hope is they aren't :P

When does the tournament start?

CTF scrims are played with 2 maps. Team 1 plays "white" first 2 rounds and team 2 plays "brown" first 2 rounds, then they switch sides. White is empire, and clones, making brown rebels and cis. Each round is 3 flags, with a 15-25 minute timer. If you only wanted to do 1 map the flags could be boosted to 4 or 5 with no timer.

What happened to red and blue?
Brown and white are so bathroomesque...

I see what you mean now. However, if a 4v4 tournament was going to happen, I reckon we'd get no more than 5 teams, which isn't really a great tournament. You're probably one of the people here with most experience with competition, so do you think that a 2v2 CTF would work well, or would it be best as normal conquest/kills?

Are we choosing teammates or are they going to be given out randomly? I also think we should have tournaments throughout the day, for some players that are on different times zones (and continents). I would also like to add that I might be able to get more than one server... one for CQ and the other for CTF, but all this depends on the amount of participants....and times.

[SWINE FLU]

What I was planning was to take the highest votes for CQ/CTF and Heroes, and create 2 tournaments. That way, the whole of SWGO is covered. Participants can pick teams and they will be put into brackets. The first being called round 1. Participants have 1 or 2 weeks to complete that match. Sorry about grammar, using this on the phone

2on2's are usually done with kills playing to 30. ESL had a 2on2 ctf ladder but i really didnt like it.
