BarrysWorld FFA League New Re-Structure

[athena]

OK folks
Here’s the new re-structure for http://leagues.barrysworld.com/bwq3l/ffa .

Simply: 4 Divisions each with 15 players

I’ve devised a little FAQ

1: 4 Divisions
Why? Combining groups in the past has been impractical for both players and admins.

2: Why not 3 Divisions?
The skill level is too great between players

3: 15 players per Division
Why? The past 2 seasons figures have shown 15 players per Division is ample

4: 4 time slots on 1 server
Why? This means I can run the League on my own and free up other servers and admin time

5: Which Custom Map or Maps will we be using?
At the moment: BloodRun/ZTN3DM1

6: Will we be using the OSP mod next Season?
I hope so


Your comments please?

Lo Athie,

Some thoughts;

1) Sounds good given the number of no-shows that have occurred in
certain groups, but;

2) On the off-chance that you do get a full or even say 80% 12 player
turnout, you will need to choose maps wisely as some of the non-custom ID dm
maps are far too small for this no of players For example, one of the
maps we played in week 2, DM10 i think it was, is pretty much maxed out with
6 or 7. 12 would be a lottery as anyone who has played on the Demon FFA
servers can testify.

Something like Kaos (as you suggested in an earlier post) would work
excellently though.

3) If its 15 players per division, how about increasing the no of games to
say 6 or 8? This might keep it more interesting as some of the divs are
effectively over after 2 weeks. This could be accentuated with larger games
if the current scoring mechanism is used, even though I think 15 player
games would be closer in general with more peeps having a chance of doing
well.

Other than that, go for it

Cheers

Some good points there Quorthon, I will be taking notes In reply....

1: Covered

2: Yes various maps will be pulled from the pool. We would be looing to play maps such as DM8, DM12, DM14 and DM15. I'm not expecting more than 12 players on any one server at a time but a map such as Bloodrun/ZTN3DM1 may be too small. I'll have to re-think that one.

3: I have spoken to BigFoot and Season 4 (next season) will be extended to 6 weeks.


Hope this is of some help
