But I do lke the idea about schedule by schemes / pick. So if cfc agree, just name us your first pick and we arrange a date with you.

Sure, it destroys some character of a final by playing it in parts, but I dont see an easier way yet.

maybe playing all games in a row rushed without the best players destroys the character of a final even more.
as a last resort, it's probably fine to rush if you're up against the deadline, but hearing you guys scheduling each pick I think is healthy and good.

just roping around, but no real formal teaching, I learned from playing with a few people like alienelite, earthwormjim, even goaty (strange guy)
then there were the popular ropers that I tried to play with to get better like marco, thesheriff, jmoberg, illazz, pointblank, tenchi, even komo ;p

we all just sort of learned from each other, watching everyone's styles

(edit: current playoff seeds if the season were to end right now)

If only one side is making good effort to finish playoff games, that side will advance.
If BOTH sides make poor effort to finish playoff games, BOTH sides will get kicked out.

Any player who fails to finish their playoff games and is kicked out will be disqualified from the next playoffs of that league.
After that, they are free to qualify again.

I don't see why this is even a problem for Clanner Playoffs, Clans today consist of players skilled at different schemes, as an example, I am extremely good at BnG/Roper/Hysteria, pretty good at TTRR/Shopper/WxW, and around average at Elite/T17, other members are strong at schemes others are not, and usually cover all schemes for all clans.

When participating in PO all clans SHOULD have all members on standby as theres 8 legal schemes, so it shouldn't matter what rule there is for who picks what, I honestly feel that the most important thing about PO is who gets 1st pick, and the clan who put in most effort and played the best to win the Season deserves this.

I don't see an end to this discussion, and I'm left wondering if this rule is even needed. Again, I say just get rid of it.

"In the Classic League, the first four games must include two rope based schemes (Rope Race, Roper, WxW, Shopper) and two normal schemes (BnG, Team17, Elite, Hysteria). The last game is picked by the higher ranked player and can be any of these schemes."

who decided on this rule anyway? it being there isn't even worth all this discussion on which schemes qualify under ROPE or DEFAULT. I'd just get rid of the rule and hope for the best.

only the top rated clans who often make the playoffs are affected anyway, so they could voice their opinion or maybe even vote on it.

since the best possible move at turn 1 is damaging your opponent's worm and killing the worm you just played with.

best possible move? sure it's one way to play hysteria, but I disagree completely.
if people enjoy playing hysteria by killing their own worms, let them. they can enjoy the game however they like.

just don't reduce hysteria down to only one "best" strategy.

CLANS Round1 has ended.

I know I complained a lot about the treatment of playoffs so far, but I didnt see it getting any better so far. It's a shame and kinda takes away the last motivation for me to play singles. ;d

Thank you for speaking up. This definitely will be looked into.

Random00, after some discussion, this rule was added to penalize players who treat the playoffs passively or with disinterest.

"Any player or clan who fails to finish their playoff games and is kicked out will be disqualified from the next playoffs of that league. After that, they are free to qualify again."

Agreed, I always use infinite tele's if I'm the hoster.

I don't play bng much, but when I'm forced to host, I do like dubc. I just use my old FB bng scheme, inf everything.

so yea, either inf tele or just unanchor, either way (though unanchor is probably too controversial)

After some discussion, the rule below is being added to penalize players who treat the playoffs passively or with disinterest.

I don't know about you guys, but I'm annoyed by all the jetpack-plop-suicides in hysteria

I can understand sometimes going for some nice grave damage with a 5hp worm, but all the suiciding of 30+hp worms is counterproductive in my eyes. I wouldn't call it annoying though.. more power to them if they think it's best.
