kamoh Posted March 23, 2007 Author Share Posted March 23, 2007 Two big changes: SCORING 1) Matches must be completed in full to count for points. 2) 5-3-1 system returns. TOURNAMENT FORMAT 1) Undecided. I may adopt the system I'd like to see for the other two tournaments here (round-robin --> top6 bracket), or we may see a double-elimination thing going on. It's up to you. --- I've lost a lot of interest in playing matches for the chess league and running the thing. I think we've lost a lot of the spark that made it interesting, and everything is just too damn predictable nowadays. I really want to add to the spark that is the OCRCL, but the best ideas that come into my head are to play a bunch of different variants. The league is no longer fresh, and we keep playing the same 8-10 people over and over again. WWJDD? In all honesty, this is step two of my attempt at streamlining all three OCR tournaments (OCRCL, OCR Emulation, OCR Arcade Games). We had to do this early to jump into the staggered schedule now, instead of in a month or so. Friday is the day we need to use and that's the day that we will use for all deadlines from now on (I'm hoping). So what do YOU want to see from THIS tournament, and others to come? It'll only be three weeks, which I feel is a good time limit. Input please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

damathacus Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 Can't participate in this one. Teaching full time for the next month (and then graduating, finally). I'll catch you guys in the next one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamoh Posted March 26, 2007 Author Share Posted March 26, 2007 I think we need some fresh blood to add to the game here. We'll do round-robin for now (I'm at work so I can't make a new table), but let's do the round-robin --> top6 thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broken Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 I may participate. I need something a little less intense and a little less laggy than emulated 2D fighting games at the moment. Just tell me when things start up and you know I'm always on aim on the weekends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamoh Posted March 26, 2007 Author Share Posted March 26, 2007 Yeah, the videogame tournaments are a lot of fun but lag ends up ruining the authenticity of a lot of matches. In chess it's just the same results over and over and over again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
