The throw down pvp tournament

I vote 10.

I noticed you said 12 week league based on 6 teams. I just want to point out that long, drawn out leagues tend to be a bad experience. People get burnt out and the experience gets soured. 12 weeks is a long time to be committed to something like this.

I would try to limit it to 6 weeks or something around there. If this means we need to do multiple matches a weekend or something, then you can figure it out once schedules are more well known (and an expanded roster cap would probably help people be more flexible for this specifically).

But yeah, a slightly bigger roster cap is probably a good idea, I just mostly wanted to point out that little detail. Long leagues tend to be bad just because of the natural tendency for people to get bored or burnt out, or otherwise lose interest. Also gives a much larger window of time for various RL issues to become a problem. That is all fairly obvious of course, but in any event. Try and keep them as short as possible.

I agree with Katalyst with reducing the length of the league. I know for a fact I won't be here for 12 weeks due to moving out and starting university sometime in october.

Secondly I think the original post needs to be a bit clearer on when the league starts as i've heard two dates now second and ninth of september. You should probably also make an official rules list on banned powers etc (perhaps just copy and paste from Kats old league with a few adjustments) this way there will be no confusion on what is and isn't allowed, also easier to get rules during practices under way.

Another thing is rules on trading players across teams. I also disagree with the rule regarding internal ringing. All globals listed under roster should be allowed to play whenever as long as members of the team are playing the accounts, no one here is stupid enough to believe that internal account sharing isn't going to happen so just drop that rule and let first and second accounts be played at the same time.

Lastly I would deff increase the roster cap to at least 9 if not 10, in previous leagues theres been times where a 16+ roster couldn't even field 8 during match nights, just because this is a 5v5 league doesn't mean there wont be no shows at the same quantity and frequency as 8v8 leagues.

I vote more for more flexibility....9 or 10?

Also, you definitely need to clean up the rules if you can Evo. It looks like some of that stuff is outdated/changed as well. Figure out a cleaner way to format things.

Im fine with having a roster of 10,

also is it safe to say that this league wont even start up til middle of sept with all this debating of rules and such still going?

I do agree that the rules on bansies, roster size, and everything else needs to be put into place and minds made up before September 2nd if that date still stands. I would be fine with a later start date so that our team can actually get a few 'lol'practices in and so that 'you' people can make up y'alls table flippin' minds.

10 points for griffendor..the rest is negotiable.

Hey guys here is a update on the older post to just give you a better view of where things are.


The setup:
This will be a 5v5 PvP League.
Travel suppression and heal decay will be turned off. Small inspirations only.

Incarnates:
ALPHA ONLY.

Power and AT limitations:
No TK.
Only 2 stalkers per lineup
Only 3 masterminds
No Steamjump/jump pack
Dark Control Set Holds
Arachnos ATO %100 Chance for Fear
Electric Control Set Holds

Roster setup:
Teams will be limited to a roster of 10 members. This will be the maximum size of slot alloted to teams for the roster posting.

Match times and ranking setup:
Officials will be held on Sundays @ 9 eastern. Teams must be in listed arena event 15 min after start time of their scheduled match. If that same team has still not showed up after 30min have elapsed from the time of the scheduled match then the absent team will be disqualified. If both teams agree to have the match a little later than normal schedule, that's fine. A Print Screen copy of the agreement from the two teams with approve this. Like everything else, this is also up for discussion (the official match times). If most people feel 10 pm eastern is better, that can be adjusted; but it's probably unlikely considering many people have to work Monday morning. Regular practices between teams can be worked out between each other. Our hope is that each team will battle each other two times during the regular season. So if we get seven teams then there will be fourteen weeks of regular season matches. If there are eight teams then sixteen weeks of regular season matches; pretty awesome!! Rankings will be simple. Each two out of the three Sunday night matches won, is one win. Teams with the most wins at the end of the season will get the playoff spots. Playoffs will consist of semi-finals and then the finals.


Match Dates:
Officials will be poushed back 1 week(meaning Sept 12) to allow some of our teams to return to the game from trips and work situations. this will also give you time to perfect your team into the way you wish to have it for the tourn. Practices are expected to be held weekly. we will also be meeting with the Team Leads to discuss any matters that need discussing and to give updates on Tourn matters so that they may relay that to there teammates.
Your Official Rosters are to be posted by the 5th to unsure a spot for your team in the bracket.
A posted Fight list for all teams will be posted by Sept 8th so that everyone can see who they will be fighting and when.

The Fight:
Each team will fight Twice. Each team will also select their own map pick. There will be no scoring system straight up wins and loses. if the teams Draw within those two matches they may choose to fight for a tiebreaker and seal the deal. Scoring will be in 0w-0l-0d for this reason.

The rewards for the winning team are TBA. Stay tuned for that one!(working hard on these)

If any other questions or concerns pop up, or if you feel we may have missed a power to ban or included that would make the tournment more fun, you know where to find us.

Can we ban barcode or same name teams?

I don't know where you go to get set up for this kind of thing, but I would love to join. Only thing is, is that I can't start sept 9th because hubbies b-day so that means no computer. I would love to join though and have two toon sin particular that have proven to be formidable opponents on my home server. (vitrue) as soon as we get league times and practices up, i'd love to join. i'm @watermuse . I don't mind being one of the back burner characters either. I love pvping but no one ever wants to pvp on virtue. I have transfers built up and spunk! I'm not trained heavily in pvp, but can maneuver well and have only lost 3 times out of 15.


disregard all the above. poste din wrong section. may the odds be ever in your favor sugahs
