About the tournament...

The situation:

People have stopped playing the games. Since november 3rd there have been 2 games played. If there will be a future tourney there need to be groups.

Solutions:

  1. Have all teams play until everyone has 8 or more wins, or more, incase all 9 teams reach 8 wins. Like this the top 8 can be determined.

  2. One team of the top9 could withdraw from the tourney, and we could get on with the top8 right now.

  3. Make deadlines for completion of the games, with punishment incase some teams fail.

  4. Cancel the tourney.

  5. Do nothing, and just let this tourney go the way of many other wargametourneys... I am not a fan of this.

Edit: just checked the group again, apparently there was an update:

Dragoon75 Quote: My apologies to all involved in the tournament. I have become insanely busy in my professional and personal life, and that has taken my attention elsewhere. Fear not, the tournament will progress. I am, for the most part, here to stay.

The current stage of the tournament will be terminating this Thursday at 0000 UTC. This means you have until that time to complete any last minute games. The way teams will be selected to move on will be based on how many points each team has, equaling wins after loses have been subtracted. Of course, this benefits teams that have played fewer games, so that will be taken into account. If it appears that your team may have been loitering for too long or not working with other teams to progress towards the intended goal, you may be dropped for a more proactive team with less points.

I wish you all luck. end quote

I think this is a good solution, depending on implementation and possibly 1 or two cases need to be looked at closely, depending on whether it makes a difference if a team gets into the top4 or only top8. If that is the case I think teams should be compared to each other 1-1, for example top 4 and top5, to compare them only teams which both of them played should be considered and also whether they played each other should be considered.

Hey everyone! So far we've learned a lot about how the tournament should be run, and there will be changes to following tournaments. With all things, the first time is bumpy, but I appreciate your patience.

I will post the announcement I just made in the Steam group for transparency's sake:

The following teams will be moving on to the Double Elimination part of the tournament: #ANZ, Crna Buksna, Steel Balalaika, Creating Cognitive Dissonance, RED [Chieftain], Team EuroAsia, Warmongers, and The 'Refugees.'

Please see the Challonge bracket to see which team you are facing first.

Please refer to the rules for how to proceed. Remember, these are now best two of three games.

Replays and screenshots will be placed in a new folder, to be created immediately after this post is read.

Good luck to you all.

Generally, I am open to suggestions, so feel free to message me if you would like. That said I find posts like this semi-unproductive and confrontational in a negative way, so if you want to speak with me about it, please contact me directly. If I/we hear a good idea, you can bet we'll hold a pole, but this opens up a negative sort of forum. Thanks!

Hi

I am glad to hear it, really looking foreward to play in the tourney again.

It was not my intention to be unproductive or confrontational or to create a "negative sort of forum". I disagree that this is unproductive, there might have been good discussion on the topic. It was my mistake to not check the steamgroup for anouncements before I made this post. And I did message you on the 14th with pretty much the same as this post, since I had not heard anything since then I just assumed nothing had happened, my bad.

Thanks again for hosting this tournament, I have been enjoying it a lot so far.

I think the tournament should have a talent portion. Maybe singing or poetry reading.

Getting a sense of déjà vu here. In all honesty the organisation & running of this tournament has been sub par to say the least. Who is in the lead? Who has been eliminated? Can we get a basic tournament progression chart? We don't even have a stickied thread anymore where we can find out what's going on. At this point I'm going to VulcanHD YouTube page every couple of days to see if there is any progression. Can someone or whoever is supposed to be running this tournament get their shit together please. This is supposed to be the largest wargame community and we can't even run a tournament to completion, twice. Guess third times a charm?

There's plenty of resources to see all of those things if you spend about 5 minutes looking them up.

Why isn't it posted on reddit considering it is the reddit 3x3 tournament?

Because it was an option. Mentioning it is not me saying I would like it. I do not "make" options, I listed possible options.

You posed the option to everyone by making this thread. Why would you be mad for someone to answer your question?
