Would be interested to see how the use of swiss format will turn out again.

Swiss Group Stages!​

​

Please no

 

[Static]

Please no

Agreed.

 

[swifT]

Please no swiss......I think a lot of people after Nintendome just want bracket......I sure know I do

Calamari Cup had a group stage that worked really well. I hope that's what they mean with swiss groups.

No, that's Round Robin. But i think they already decided against Swiss but haven't had time to update the OP yet. Not 100% sure though.

Suggestion.. how about Squid Boards starts making tournaments for none top 20 ranked teams. As in to give these other teams more practice and more "tournament matches" to play in, considering that's what people are trying to do with Swiss Group Stages!

 

[Symph]

Let's be real here, the swiss style can work well. It only gets messed up when there are a bunch of DQs. Don't want to diss Hank either, but the tourney was not managed that well.

Booyah Battle 2 had 3/46 teams DQ'd (at least half having participated in past tournaments)

Nintendome had 13/58 teams DQ'd (most being very inexperienced about tournaments)

Swiss can work if there aren't any disqualifications (which is why this works more for LAN since there will be less no-shows). We shouldn't take Nintendome as the only example of what Swiss is like. It can work really well if the TOs manage it correctly. Hank only hosted his tourney because it was in celebration of having 10K subs and wanted to do something with his money.

Very true, but at this point I don't think it's a matter of weather it can work or not.. but rather what the players prefer. Of course there is going to be a chance that the majority is going to be =against what most of the high end competitive players in any community wants.. considering that in any community the level of elite players compared to the rest is vast different in numbers. I think all these TO's of up coming tournaments need to evaluate what the high end of the community wants. Don't get me wrong we need the rest of the community for things to progress, but don't walk over the current players who don't want a Swiss Group Stage. By all means if most teams want to switch over then I'm on board, but like I said.. there's ALWAYS a way to appeal to both high end competitive players and new players!

 

[Static]

I mean.. at this point everything is going to be trial by fire. As in people will want to try new things and do it anyway! So ehhh guess we just have to sit back and go along for the ride!

I think this will work very well for 2 reasons, one the TO has been very careful on how the scoring works to ensure it is fair to all. You can watch the video and see him go through multiple scenarios proving it works.

Secondly it will be broken up into groups at first, this means instead of waiting on every match to finish you are only waiting on the matches from your group to finish. This should hopefully mean that rounds won't take a full hour. Added with the TO's experience from previous tournaments, he will know when to nudge a team to get them moving or DQ someone for taking too long.

 

[swifT]

As long as things are run properly and organized well. I guess I'm not really opposed to it.

Theres still a lot of room for experimentation in that way. Nintendome could have been run smoother. Thats all I'll really say on the topic since
this isnt necessarily the place.

I enjoyed participating in BB2 and trust the TO'ing so for now its just a waiting game i suppose. oL will most likely compete regardless~

Suggestion:

1. one rainmaker maximum per round in Swiss ONLY. IMO RM is the most luck based mode between the 3 legal and the most exploitable.
2. If you're going to do Swiss, make a cutoff at TOP 16, not 8.

Yes, yes, and yes please.

Nothing wrong with swiss, that's why you get subs to last long. Or at least group stages.

 

[BestTeaMaker]

Da bump: now with actual information.

 

[Leanny]

Still need a date for the tournament xD

Edit: Just found it. But the google forms still says Booyah Battle 2 in the text

 

[Kosaki]

At what time will the tournament begin for each day ?
And how long will we have to play roughly ?
