New tournament idea

**remedy1502** · 12-7-2007, 09:00 PM

Kay so I've been thinking of something that relates to volleyball (my fave sport of all time). And I was thinking that I would try to run something like a club volleyball season. I still need to fix this up a bit, but this is how it will start:

First I divide all the entrants into 3-4 groups.

Tier A
Player1
Player2
Player3
Player4
Player5
Player6
Player7
Player8

Tier B
Player1
Player2
Player3
Player4
Player5
Player6
Player7
Player8

Tier C
Player1
Player2
Player3
Player4
Player5
Player6
Player7
Player8

Tier D
Player1
Player2
Player3
Player4
Player5
Player6
Player7
Player8

Each Tier will be divided into 2 pools (you only play the people in your pool).
There will be a round robin playing against all the people in your pool. After this the players in Pool A and Pool B will be ranked A1, A2, B4 etc. based on their record in the pool play. Ties will be broken by the differences in scores between you and your opponent.

After this the top 2 players from each tier will be placed into Tier 1, 3rd and 4th into Tier 2, 5th and 6th into Tier 3, and 7th and 8th into Tier 4. Note that the placements aren't final. There will be 4-5 tournaments throughout this season, in each successive tournament, the top 2 from each tier go up a tier (tier 1 stays) and the bottom 2 from each tier go down a tier (tier 4 stays). 3rd-6th remain in the same tier. The top 3 players in each tier will receive a small amount of credits in these tournaments (to represent medals), but the final tournament will have big(ger) prizes.

The season will be relatively long, I don't know how long it would go right now, but I'll make a spreadsheet for this with tiers, pools, players, and schedule of who you're playing when. Hopefully it will help.

It may seem confusing to you right now, but as it goes along you will get the hang of it. I'll try to help everyone out by answering any questions. This is exactly how my volleyball season is run, so I know pretty well what's happening. We can see the improvements of many players over time if we use this idea.

Comments? Suggestions? Criticisms? I would like to hear from everyone on FFR of what they think of this idea.

I like it, this could be very intresting.

This is a really good idea. Im surprised noones done this before, since this is the way almost every sports tournament is run.
Ps: im in if you make this

**remedy1502** · 12-7-2007, 10:41 PM

I won't be making this for a while, at least not until the huge tourney is over. Phynx's tourney. I'll need more opinions than just 2 if I'm gonna do this lol.

**Phynx** · 12-7-2007, 10:43 PM

F'ing A it sounds great, I'm gonna rape my tier level

Oh yeah, forgot, my tournament is huge uber pwnage out the max hardcore slaughterer of all other unofficial tournaments. XD So yeah, I'd wait till the credits are distributed then try and beat my record credit pot.

I hope someone does. XD

Oh yes, I did quite slaughter the record. Now people will be grating everyone else for credits to out do my record

Have fun, besides, you'll be able to beat me. You're far more popular and people will donate to your cause' more.

Edit: BTW Remedy, what ever happened to you leaving?

I don't think anyone can unless they're gonna like DIE or something lol. Anyway, I probably should have had a better thread title than 'New Tournament idea' if I wanted to catch people's attention.

**Gun92** · 12-8-2007, 12:34 PM

I love the idea, its awesome

**Nu0n** · 12-8-2007, 12:37 PM

I love this idea, I was going to try and have FFR Admins run a full season just like how you said maybe a few changes but similar.

If you do this and it works out pretty good, i think that FFR will sponsor the idea and try it out.

Good Idea, if you make it i am in!!!!

I wouldn't be living in an arrowless world, I'm playing ITG a lot now.

And I will be making it, but not for a while. I'll try and make it flawless

**remedy1502** · 12-8-2007, 08:41 PM

Bump. I need comments and suggestions. 2 people have said it needs some tweaking, and I haven't hread any suggestions. I can't make it perfect by myself guys.

**EnR** · 12-8-2007, 08:47 PM

Well you need like some sort of mini tourny, or practice song to see where everyone goes, so then D being lowest division, A being highest

**remedy1502** · 12-9-2007, 01:25 PM

Kay since this isn't going very well I'm gonna make a new thread with a better title lol. And signups are basically open until the end of Phynx's or EnR's tournaments.
