Tournaments in 2016 and after

I believe it's time to rethink our whole tournament grid.
Let's say that NC is untouchable (could be 2 weeks shorter).
1. Which tournament used to be interesting and are not any more?
2. Which tournament take too much time to be enjoyable?
I believe New League/Euroleague has reached its goal of making players of the same level play each other.
What about combining League and SPWC/ Euroleague and EMC to make each a single tournament (to save some time and let other tournament breathe a bit)?
A suggestion with a base of 60 players for SPWC.
a. First phase 10 Groups of 6 players according to TELO.
TOP 2 of each group move to GOLD (or whatever) level, 3rd/4th to Silver level, 5th/6th to bronze level.
b. Second phase. 4 groups of 5. Top 2 advance to KO
c. Third phase: KO: QF/SF/Final for each level.
9 matches - 12 matches for everybody instead of League + SPWC. Everybody plays for something.

I would play in any tournament but for June (due to extra work-load). Format should is an issue only in terms of scheduling. Especially for multis who are dying out (and steam has contributed a lot to that due to lack of past moves box), the only chance would be different geographical divisions: US vs. Europe (with few others in other continents deciding which one suits them best) and then a single final event withe the best from each continent. To avoid claims that one division is easier than the other, everybody should be free to enter any division they wish.
We would be happy to see more of you trying steam's other maps. 2ers are fine and playable. Actually they're better than web.

It would serve a forecast by all the players.
for example:
dandee 2017
nation-fusion-spwc-emc-multi usa and europe-league usa e europe.
so we could decide which tournaments give more attention

In other side of combining Single and League we have that for example I haven't time to play League, but could play EMC. In new system I have to skip all events. May be it doesn't importatnt, but just another point of view...

D'habitude, en tournoi des ADR (T2R), vous jouez 6 matchs (1;0,5 ou 0 par partie pour un maximum de 6 pts pour un affrontement) et celui avec le plus de points est déclaré vainqueur.
Moi je suis Québécois et la culture du hockey (plus populaire encore que le foot/soccer en France pour donner un aperçu) est très dominante. En séries éliminatoires, deux équipes s'affrontent, non pas en matchs allers-retours comme vous avez l'habitude, mais en match 4 de 7 (2 premiers matchs à domicile, 2 matchs à l'étranger, puis alternance pour la petite histoire ). La première formation à avoir 4 victoires remporte la ronde (dès que 4 victoires sont inscrites, l'équipe est déclarée gagnante, seul le résultat final d'un
match importe).
C'est donc le format que je propose! D'autres questions ou commentaires sont les bienvenus!!

For English people, it would be fun to have a «friendly» (as it can be) tournament on Swiss map during Christmas.
Anybody interested?

I read registration threads, and there's still that discussion new platform/java going on.
Here's my final take:
1. All the USA map tournaments on Java
2. All the other maps tournaments (including Fusion if it ever happens) on the new platform.
Regarding multi tournaments, I think this would be a good way to discover the other maps such as Pennsylvania, or Germany coming.
Multi US tournament on Java.
Multi euro on new platform
All maps mixed tournaments on the new platform (something replacing AAT and multi asia).
Ex: 5ers Euro - 4ers Asia - 3er Pennsylvania - 2er Nordic or India or something like that.

I wonder if we should put this in its own thread to discuss how Fusion will work this year. My two notes on the suggestion above are:
With Europe, we found people wanted more options than only Europe. Thus for the last year it was: *) A 2 player match of 6 games: USA, USA, Europe, Europe, USA, Europe
And with the AAT dimension, we left it to the AAT person to choose whatever maps with the choice being alternating. That may be an important distinction since all of us have not bought all the maps on Steam. So if a person calls for a map on steam, they must be the one who owns it. Last year rule *) A 2 player match of 6 games on all the TTR maps, using 6 of the 7 different maps.

It is a nice debate, but first question is :
how many players do you expect to be able to play this AAT on steam ?
(Able to play, and ok to play only the AAT for the duration of the fusion tournament.)
Just start with that.

I think a clear decision has to be made now for all tournaments.
Which maps are played on Steam and which are not.
Once this is figured out, then you just have to worry about what you need to play.
1. USA on Java, rest on new platform
2. USA and Euro all on Java, rest on new platform.
3. USA/Euro/Swiss/Asia on Java, rest on new platform.
4. Everything on new platform
I believe 1 is the best choice. Most players who play US only like to play on Java. Most Euro players are usually OK to try new things and can make an effort to go on new platform.
2. 3. would not change much to the current situation
4. It's a risk to take, but the community would lose a big chunk of its members.

At present, I think the plan is to hold SMC starting in January again this year. Holiday season is often difficult to get players.

Yes, yes. Look at your nice score. Very wonderful. The reality, however, is that there is more than one event going on for TTR community and we can't just move an event for one player who has a preference. If you want to run a swiss tourney, go ahead. The issue is getting enough people to participate - especially during the holiday season.

Not to diminish your achievement, but #1 on the rankings page doesn't mean you are the best or even close. There are many top players who just don't play the map enough to get their rating up.
I am just below the top players these days. I seem to get to the semi-finals of the SMC quite often (4 times in last 7 years), but have never won.
I am willing to play you on steam in a best of 7 series if you like over the holidays. If you beat me, then you would have at least some point of reference to how good you are.

Hopefully for you, I cannot play competitive after Christmas because I have a lot of school' exams... You'll have a chance to win YOUR tourney... But does your victory will worth sometime, since the #1 isn't in?
I do like to play competitive, do you?
Ask yourself this question...
Happy Holidays!

Hello.
I would like to suggest you a new form of tournament, which I would be glad to organize, at least for the first editions.
The short KO tournaments already have quite some success when they are played, but they don't feel quite satisfactory to me.
I thought of a form of tournament that would be very short (fixed duration of 3 to 4 hours) but would allow everyone to play for the whole duration of the tournament and against an interesting opposition.
I would basically like to organize a swiss tournament, with 4 or 5 rounds (depending on the number of players joining). This is the way chess opens are played in their vast majority.
The principle is to play a fixed number of rounds with the following principles :
- everyone plays every round (in the case of an odd number of players one player gets a bye ; this could and should be avoided on first round as the organizer can eventually play) ;
- all players can be matched only once against other players
- everyone is matched against a player having won the same number of games (if it's impossible there are rules to match him with as close a player as possible)
- in a group of players with the same number of points, players are seeded (with TElo or any other system of elo) then divided in two halves : strong ones and weak ones. The stronger player of the strong group plays the stronger player of the weak group ; the second of strong group plays the second of the weak group etc..
This tends to ensure interesting tournaments for everyone, with a close to guaranteed number of games.
My idea would be to use the clock feature of steam (which is really the biggest advantage compared to java) with short time limits (5 mins per player on USA which guarantees a game in 10 minutes) and a limited number of games per match (4, 5 or 6 depending on the number of rounds to be played).
The schedule of the games would be known in advance, as an exemple it would be something like (in case of a 4 games match 5 rounds tournaments ; well suited if there are 18 to 32 players) :
- 8 pm : first round
- 8:40 pm : dead line for the end of the first round
- 8:45 pm : second round
- 9:25 pm : end of 2d round
- 9:30 pm : 3rd round
- 10:20 pm : 4th round
- 11:10 pm : 5 th and last round
Of course, this needs a good organization, but I have done it in chess and am sure to be able to do for a small pool of players on TTR too..
This would also possibly allow steam chat to have some extra animation, and could drag new players to competitive play (consider some players might be interested but don't have time for longer tournaments).
This would also allow some tentative tournaments on new maps.
Thoughts ?

Hello.
I would like to suggest you a new form of tournament, which I would be glad to organize, at least for the first editions.
The short KO tournaments already have quite some success when they are played, but they don't feel quite satisfactory to me.
I thought of a form of tournament that would be very short (fixed duration of 3 to 4 hours) but would allow everyone to play for the whole duration of the tournament and against an interesting opposition.
I would basically like to organize a swiss tournament, with 4 or 5 rounds (depending on the number of players joining). This is the way chess opens are played in their vast majority.
The principle is to play a fixed number of rounds with the following principles :
- everyone plays every round (in the case of an odd number of players one player gets a bye ; this could and should be avoided on first round as the organizer can eventually play) ;
- all players can be matched only once against other players
- everyone is matched against a player having won the same number of games (if it's impossible there are rules to match him with as close a player as possible)
- in a group of players with the same number of points, players are seeded (with TElo or any other system of elo) then divided in two halves : strong ones and weak ones. The stronger player of the strong group plays the stronger player of the weak group ; the second of strong group plays the second of the weak group etc..
This tends to ensure interesting tournaments for everyone, with a close to guaranteed number of games.
My idea would be to use the clock feature of steam (which is really the biggest advantage compared to java) with short time limits (5 mins per player on USA which guarantees a game in 10 minutes) and a limited number of games per match (4, 5 or 6 depending on the number of rounds to be played).
The schedule of the games would be known in advance, as an exemple it would be something like (in case of a 4 games match 5 rounds tournaments ; well suited if there are 18 to 32 players) :
- 8 pm : first round
- 8:40 pm : dead line for the end of the first round
- 8:45 pm : second round
- 9:25 pm : end of 2d round
- 9:30 pm : 3rd round
- 10:20 pm : 4th round
- 11:10 pm : 5 th and last round
Of course, this needs a good organization, but I have done it in chess and am sure to be able to do for a small pool of players on TTR too..
This would also possibly allow steam chat to have some extra animation, and could drag new players to competitive play (consider some players might be interested but don't have time for longer tournaments).
This would also allow some tentative tournaments on new maps.
Thoughts ?

Um.. gen7. I don't think Voj means Swiss map, he means swiss tournament organization method.
But, could be any map.
Voj, I suspect you'd get some interest. Look at the tourney map and see where it might make sense to run one of these and give it a try. why not?

I like the idea but for Swiss tournaments, but you need a good number of players. Like everything, we will have to start small and hopefully grow.
Let's do it for alternative maps.
I'd happily participate when possible, on any maps.

I believe you can post without reminding everybody of your rank on the Swiss map, especially when a good chunk of your game were won because your opponents ran out of time...

C'est à ce moment que tu réalises que votre intervention n'était vraiment pas nécessaire...

Do you want to loose time with players 1000 to 1400? Me neither.
