Shalom noble denizens.
I have decided to launch Season 2 of the Prestigious RPG Codex Dawn of War Tournament (tm)(c)(r).
But before I post the actual thread with the signups, I'd like to discuss some things regarding the tourney rules.
1. The general rules are more or less not going to change. It will still be best of 3, everyone picks two races, first map in a match will be drawn randomly, league structure will be playoffs leading to semis leading to finals.
2. Map selection will remain the same, but with one proviso: Ninjerk's Demise led to some butthurt last time, so it will be removed from the first map random selection pool to make the experience a little more ~balanced~. However, it will remain in the general map pool, so players will be able to pick it when they want/can.
3. This time there will be an actual regulated match day structure, instead of a free-for-all play when you want with whomever you want system. This is because experience has shown that fags can't be trusted to be reasonable, so they need to be familiarised with the taste of the jackboot.
4. Folks have also complained about the power stacking of divisions last time, so I've decided to take measures against that too. Initially I thought about doing some sort of weighted seeding (like e.g. "there can be no jaedar and roxor in the same division"), but judging player skill apriori might be tuff if we get newfags.
So instead, after a discussion with the Inner Circle (tm), we've come up with the idea of a reverse draft - the divisions will be divided into the top playaz from the previous season (e.g. Jaedar and Deso), and they will take turns to pick players from the pool and assign them into the other player's division. So, for example, deso has first pick, he sees roxor in the player pool and says "nop, let the swede handle that guy", so roxor is assigned to divJaedar. Then jaedar sees rk47 and says "nop, i dont wanna go up against koreans", so rk47 is assigned to divDeso. So on and so forth.
Anyone have any other suggestions or comments or butthurt that needs venting? Discuss!!!
