This is HUGELY ambitious. I LIKE it. This is not a criticism, but an observation or three, and a couple questions...


1> Division Structure, Individuals: Will the individual divisions be the same as the team divisions, only with both team members in the division? i.e. if there's a team division with teams "AB", "CD", "EF", and "GH"; will there be an indie division with players A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H? Note that if individual divisions are randomly scrambled, some folks will gain an advantage playing their teammate more times than others...

2> I REALY LIKE the way you've approximately balanced team and indie points. On lookingit over, with team negatives, and higher indie points, you've made it quite difficult for a great partner to carry an indifferent partner into the INDIVIDUAL playoffs, something I was concerned about at first.

3> 131 games, 4/week. 33 weeks to run, plus playtime. I KNOW you have maps and cards set to random, but I'd seriously suggest doing something to manage game length. All you need is for one week, especially one of the late ones, to come up 'Circus Maximvs, no cards' and we're on the road to nowhere. Simplest solution would be to make Escalating a mandatory lock-in... but you could leave it this way and keep fingers crossed.

4>*Multiplier* is only when playing teammate... so why is there a chart for it in team standings? Your team can't play itself. I would suggest just making games against teammate (already 4 points, in-division, if question 1 is as I suspect) doubled?

Thank you, was going for something different, currently running a smaller tournamant, so looking to do more. Thanks for input.

You are in the same individual division as team division, exactly explained as above.

Yeah I was trying to design it to fit the theme, hopefully the system will work. Strong team will help, but overall invidivual peformance will win out.

This something I will probably be changing before games starts. I do want random maps for sure. Thanks for input, I will ponder this for sure.

This is in individual play because you will have to play your teammate same amount of times as ever other individual in your division this is to seperate each individual or strengthen one single individual the whole theme idea.

Fireside Poet!? I thought you died or something.

on another topic khellendros and peanutsdad will take on all comers as The Dragon Lords

Well, that gets us to 10 teams... Of course, tentamu has had to leave CC (see other threads), so we really need another tourney organizer.

Now, don't look at me, I've never run one before, I'd like to start a bit smaller, with less recordkeeping than this one will entail. In fact, I have a general plan for one, but there's a lot going on at the moment with work, the holidays, and at least one tournament more than was wise... So it'll happen, just not right away.

As for THIS one... Anyone interested in taking over?
