Hi all..

Nice idea VK. Sorry i perhaps been a little behind posting, as i see today you have started something off. I have 1-2 suggestions for the event if i may.

1st - I will assume referees will be needed to make sure no-one breaks the rules. Perhaps a little referee recruitment would be handy before the competion starts?.

2nd - Who holds the entering fees from the players? . Could i suggest a Moderator . Little details i'm sure the entering players would find useful knowing.

3rd - The entering fees themselves seem a bit high to me - perhaps to lower the entering fees to allow more players to enter the fun? .Perhaps even just a standard entree fee used for all BB tiers - 2mill / player .

4th - I do not see prizes? - Is there a prize?, i will assume the entree fees added up, will split into 1-2-3rd places? . Or just 1st place prize? , etc . Or no prizes at all? . Teams will certainly want to know this before paying entree fees.

The final idea of having different tier BB battles i think is a good one,(i was going to suggest this before i noticed the lastest post saying entree open), Perhaps to just do 2 tiers to get the event started, and i would suggest - BB4's and BB2's . I do think BB2 should be the lowest level tier ,for the new BB players to enjoy, and because i think it would be fun, just a suggestion. Also i think 1 tier BB event per week/weekend, otherwise that sounds like a lot of effort running all tiers in 1 weekend, kool if you are up for it vk.

Dates and Time as stated above - I think players will not enter until they know if they can attend the event. Dates and Times need to be stated clearly.

Hmm, can't think of anything else right now, and i may also volunteer to be a Ref if you decide to recruit Ref's, i'll keep an eye on this post to see what happens :).


GL with it all.
No1shero

Editted-
I forgot about the event set-up. This certainly needs working out and posting before the event actually starts. lol, i just had a good idea. You(vk) could randomly write a number 1-10(20) beside each team which entered for a random draw. It could be held in Clan area , were perhaps a Moderator could random guess numbers from 1-20(20) to make the draw. You(vk) could then write in room chat the name of the team as they are drawn, so no cheating can happen. Thus making it a straight knockout competition from the start. Similar to world cup final stages.
If you wanted to try to allow each team to play each other, then i think a league/point system is needed. I.E. - 3 points a win - 1 point draw(ran out of ammo) - 0 point for loss .All teams play each other once. Top 4 teams go into a 4 way shootout - Team#1(position 1, top of the table) plays Team#2 for 1st/2nd prizes . Team#3 plays Team#4 for 3rd prize.
Still a bit more to work out, but theres some ideas.

All valid points to consider No1shero at the moment I will look into a mod holding the credits for entry fees and yes lets make it 2m entree for this first one and we will see how it goes and it is a knock out tournament so the one who gets prizes is the winner but I may add some credit from my personal lot to give more incentive to join in and maybe some prem items to. I am glad for your ideas on the topic and I am looking at setting a def time it just depends on my work and other issues that may come us. I believe it will be a fast run event so we can have say 3 weeks for each tier which would mean more people throughout a month and such win but I am thinking of adding a rule about doubling up in tier tournaments because we don't want 1 team winning everything. but you are right and have shown me some things that need to work on.

I have updated the Information on the original post to give more information on times tiers and fee's please feel free to ask questions.

Thanks,
-Vk

I'll post a link to this on the Kaiser FL boards to draw some more interest.

a mate of mine just gave me a good idea for this kind of tournament, I will also add a PBB and EBB tier battles to the list as we all have at least one of these we never use :D

Yes I understand that there are 3 EBB's but I think we could do it like EBB1 and EBB2 event or EBB2 and EBB3 if u get what I mean.

I have 2 points I'd like to bring:


1st - Scouts


T6 scouts are currently unbalanced. Some nations can mount a lot of them on lower level ships, some cannot. But overall, they also are quite imbalanced. I'd heavily suggest limiting them to T5. Also, T6 can shoot down any other scouts quite easily, excepted another T6.



2nd - Time.

If you want your event to get any success, don't forget this is NFNA. I understand your frustration at the server main events being centered around times that aren't ideal for you, but 11 pm EST would mean you'd lose a lot of people potentially participating.

Not making it in the middle of the afternoon, I can understand. But know that past 5-6pm EST (2-3 PST server time) you lose Europe. Past 8-9 PST its the east coast that won't be there also.

I'd be quite curious to see the amount of players that come from the Americas and Europe, but I'm quite sure they make a good chunk of the server population. Its the reason FL at the time its currently held.


Server peek times are normally around 4 PST through 7 PST. (server time). I'd suggest keeping to them.

Oh and saturday can mean HA day. So some team might be unable to attend due to one or more of their member being stuck in an HA.
