With the completion of the Championship game between Primitive and Rex, (congrats again to Primitive), my thoughts once again return to the planning of the next great tournament adventure. I know there's still a few games left in the Bash Tourney 1, but they are just consolation matches really. The winner has been decided.
My thoughts for the next one are a little different then the first. How does this sound to everybody?
Open to anybody, but all tourney results will go on the SE4 Ratings run by Slynky.
All participants to get put together in a pool. All players to play 3 games against random opponents out of this pool to qualify for second phase. Top 8 planyers by win/loss ranking compete in a single elimination bracket.
Obvious problem with such a system of course is the possibility of ties in the rankings. We could have some sort of tiebreaker arrangment with head-to-head, and record against common opponents, and strength of opponents (Based on their opponents tourney results). It might be possible we'd still have ties at that point, I am not sure. I'd have to run some numbers. If so I am sure we could figure out some system that would be fair and yet not slow us down too much. I would even consider adding to the final phase bracket as neccesary with the top x number of players getting a first round bye.
The other thought I was having is that the we could limit the empire setup choices. Go with vanilla 100% settings maybe, like the Mediocrity games?
Anyone interested in such an animal?
Ratings Bash 2?
