Use this thread to arrange your games. No response by the deadline = disqualification.

P.S. Forget what I said about why che qualified last season, I was wrong MI makes the decision based on winning ratio, points and activity together (winning ratio being the most important). If you don't like surprises, try to meet the PO criteria!

Hmm? I don't see how my expectations for this cup are in conflict in any way. As mentioned, I wanted

1. get feedback on this scheme version compared to TUS scheme
2. have a high level t17 cup

In both cases experienced t17 players are desired, and in both cases a prize is useful.

Not all players in this cup are experienced t17 players. I could reselect 12 players based on ratings, then select the rest 4 randomly out of the remaining 7 players (using RandomBot in WN) and replace players depending on the result. How does that sound to u?

@Kradie

I had no idea how experienced u are. Tus stats are pretty much the only source out there and u hadn't any stats. That indicates u haven't played the tus scheme version much.

A prize is involved because obviously not many would be interested in pure scheme testing. At the same time I wanted a high level competition, which wouldn't be possible without a prize.

I thought about closed signups and at first I had "players will be chosen based on T17 ratings" written in the cup details. But then I realized we might not get enough players that way

@spleen17

Imo it's totally fine to have signups open for some days and then choose players based on objective measures (rating/played games). It would be stupid to just give the spots to those who surf on TUS sites several times per day. This arrangement indeed was fair because it gave everyone a chance, not just for the most active members. I could have selected players by random instead but obviously I didn't want to exclude the best t17 players.

Sticked to 16 players. Those who were excluded haven't played T17 in tus/trl or had the lowest rating.

Group stage deadline is Sunday 2015-10-25 (2 weeks).

Group 4: host, sponsor, mafioso

Nope, MI didn't like that idea. He sets up playoffs with 4 clans manually when less than 4 clans have 50% winning ratio. Season #46 PO thread will be opened soon (there might be an error so I'm waiting for a confirmation).

With so many handguns/bats/crap weaps in it's hardly possible to do any serious harm before SD. And with the low TUS scores on SD weaps.. it's likely you end up with many drawn games. 
I can see this only working with more time on the clock tbh.

That's what I said about Chicken23's scheme

I guess there is a reason for the current crate probabilities. In your scheme probability for powerful non-SD weapons is lower so it's more difficult to kill the opponent with non-SD weapons. That means games will be more often SD weapon battles than before, or?

Wasn't water rise also slower when all weapons had the same probability? You had then more time to kill the opponent with non-SD weapons than in TUS scheme.

I think the greater number of shitty weapons doesn't affect that much after all. But we'll see about that

How many early kills do u see with the TUS "boom boom" scheme anyway? A worm gets attacked once by a big bomb and then it's moved to a cover. No TUS game ends before SD and usually u have at least 3 worms left heading to SD.
