BWQ3CTF - Enable coaching?

[inqy]

The only argument I've seen against this before is another 2 connections per game for busy servers to handle. Are the servers/BW network able to cope with an additional 2 players per port on league nights?

If they are I would say 'yes', enable coaching. This could be very good for clans in timing items or new tactics to be called as needed.

Also Qoach, should that be allowed if coaching was enabled.

Thoughts?

Coaching is definitely something we are looking at. Qoach would be allowed as it doesn't interpret q3 output / input into q3 afaik.

We're thinking of using that if its allowed and if we get into the BW league. When will you post a decision?

If you mean with regards to coaching it'll be sometime around when the divisions are posted, which will not be for a week or so at least as i have yet to contact the waiting list clans for CTF.

If you mean about using Qoach then as far as i am concerned it is allowed under the current rules in the DM League.

Said it elsewhere, but I think it's a godawful idea.

tbh sometimes the servers dont feel 'great' for 10+ admin. I don't think the coach is a good idea for this reason.

That depends really on the server though. Both teams having a sub on the server makes for less hassle if someone drops.

It shouldn't be a strain on the server, and i should also point out that several of our game servers are being replaced soon by new ones.

Thats good news then.
Out of interest whats the spec of the server? How many sessions can they host..I have no idea..lol
