Next event?

Basing cup + MMR

[Cape]

pepper in a revitalized Elim IMO

DONT NEED NO FRIGGIN TEAM.

[viop11]

TWL OR TWDT N1 BISINK CIP

[HellzNo!]

Should do another DT where captains for the draft are all 7* under

[RageRitual]

BC + some sort of MMR for dueling leagues would be ideal. We certainly need to get this announced as soon as possible since teams are already being knocked out of playoffs.

bump. we're still looking for volunteers.

6* caps would probably be too low, they should at least have basic understanding of the leagues, 7* caps could be interesting though.

[QUOTE=zidane;n1362159]Basing cup + MMR [/QUOTE]

We're definitely due for a [B]Basing Cup[/B]. I think Basing Cup 2021 + TSL last December was a success, and maybe there's a way to have some sort or league or playoffs with MMR to replace TSL?

[Ekk0]

I think it's best we do a basing cup and something like the following:

[U][B]MMR All Stars Cup for Jav and WB[/B][/U]

You can only have people on your team that have played a minimum of 20 games in that division.

4-6 or even 8 teams depending on how many people qualify. Captain spots are awarded to those with the highest rating in each league by a set cut off date/time. Players can decline to cap which would mean the next highest rated at the cut off gets offered the captain spot until filled.

Then a regular draft would occur for all remaining players with the 20 game minimum played.

Or the draft could be done in tiers, like if theres 4 teams/captains we could have first 2-3 rounds of the draft limited to only those who made top 12 or top 16 in ratings.

A lot of people are talking about MMR league, but how in reality that would work out? It is sort of ongoing rating system, which is definitely better than the VP-system based on couple of ppls opinions, as its based on actual results, but putting in a league context, how would you determine who wins?
Here is my proposal:
MMR is more individual rating, similar to elim. There is time period, lets say 2 seasons per year, one starting in November, ending at end of March with league (will describe logic of that also). Second season ending at the end of September with league going until late October. Everyone has min amount of games u need to participate and top 3 after that time period win the award. No tournament here, but definitely far superior alternative to obsolete twd system. Both seasons end with draft style tournament and best players in both seasons are awarded with possibility to lead their teams:
On fixed day at end of season, everyones rating is converted into VP, seems pretty ez to do, looking at current ratings, maybe this would make sense:
4500+ [B]10 (currently 4 players in wb as example)[/B]
4200 - 4499 [B]9.5 (currently 6 players)[/B]
3900 - 4199 [B]9 (currently 4 players)[/B]
3600 - 3899 [B]8.5 (currently 4 players)[/B]
3300 - 3599 [B]8 (currently 12 players)[/B]
3000 - 3299 [B]7.5 (currently 18 players)[/B]
2700 - 2999 [B]7[/B]
2400 - 2699 [B]6.5[/B]
2399- [B]6[/B]
Top 8 players are offered cap position (taking both wb/jav into consideration, so top 4 from both and if they match, next in line). Currently captain candidates would be lockdown, racka, iron survivor, geio, saiyan, ease, greed and steadman.
If someone declines, next one in line will be offered that until we get those 8 teams and then regular twdt style draft and later tournament with vp limits per freq starts. Preferably short tourny with playing each opponent once with 2 games per league during weekend, so 1 month main seasons 3 weeks playoffs.
So we got more relevant (hopefully automatically bot-hosted arena) daily activity, which then culminates with 2 leagues during year.
TWL can then commence at end of year for continuity purposes and other leagues like basing cup etc can be hosted during times when there is no end-season tournament.

Anyways my 2 cents.

Edit: i think resetting MMR is not really a good idea, as it would fck up games for quite a long period. However, at the end of season, ratings should be stored and locked, so there is database per each player that also has fixed "touchpoints". At the end of next season we can then see who has improved most, declined most, played most games etc also per season.

I like that, Lee.

The existing way to determine Player ratings for Draft League has been through the feedback of ~5% of player participants (5-10 player participants). Part of the existing process also includes asking for feedback on Forums from other player participants.

Splitting players into ranges by mmr ratings adds a layer of objectivity to determine Draft ratings of participants.

It won't be perfect, but the immediate & long term accuracy potential is greater than relying strictly on feedback from 10 participants, imo.

Use the data collected & mmr ratings created with an objective, in addition to human insight.

beam said he's willing to run TWDT again.

[RageRitual]

[USER="956"]ogron[/USER] any chance of you running basingcup again?
