Brainstorm

[Krillin]

Alright, we've got a spiffy forum now, so we can really start putting things into place. For that, let us brainstorm.

Here's what I've currently got planned as regards the League:

1) Tournaments. This one's pretty obvious. I got the go-ahead from Staff to do a Zenni pot sort of system on these. So, for at least a few of them, there would be an entry fee of a certain amount of Zenni, and the winner would receive the pot (with maybe a side-pot awarded to the runner-up). Not all of the Tournaments would be set up this way, and the buy-in price certainly wouldn't be anything extreme. Just a little something to add flavor to the match.

2) League Matches. Win = 3 points, Draw = 1 point, Loss = 0 points. Matches would be scheduled, not necessarily for a specific time (I realize a bunch of you have hectic schedules, myself included), but a certain amount would need to be fulfilled. Something like, each person plays every other person ten times. Or more, or less. Each of these should have a full match summary listed, as well as one witness that is not fighting, just to keep tabs on the whole thing.

3) League Rules. Final Smashes during Exhibition matches are fine. But are they fine during a League match, where an entire round can be completely flipped through what amounts to a little bit of luck? What about those hammers, which can potentially be equally game-breaking? We'll need to come to terms with what the rules for this should be. Personally, I think items like Final Smashes and the Golden Hammer both need to be banned, but I don't think we should ban them all. As for Stocks, typical Tournament play dictates 4 per game.

What do you all think about these? Things you like, things you don't? Things you'd like to see?

I stand by everything i said on AIM. This is a kick ass idea and we should totally keep records of statistics. Such as Knockouts, Deaths, Most Damage ever recorded without dying, etc. THIS WILL BE AWESOME!

You can get a draw?

That, and the zeni tourneys sound awesome.

[Krillin]

It is possible. I've seen it once in Melee during a Stock match.

I was thinking Draws would be more applicable during Time matches, though.

[Uno]

Sudden Death?

[Krillin]

Dunno if that's possible through online.

We may just not have to worry about it.

[Krillin]

I think for now we should stick with tournaments, until we get enough people (I'm going to say 8 at the minimum) to do a League.

[Bujin]

When's the first/next tournament?

[Krillin]

Soon. I'll post up brackets either today or tomorrow, as long as everyone (read, the 6 people) are active enough that it can be completed in a week.

If I'm scheduled in a match, I'll make sure to have time for it.
