  • Rounds Should Never End in a Tie

    Let me start by saying I'm basically reiterating my long-standing viewpoint and some of you can tune out right now. Which would be much better than adding your garbage input (Paradise).
    Also, I mean no disrespect to any players or efforts on the part of the staff.



    The last two Jav league finals have gone to round 4. I understand no one really cares, but I still want to point this out.

    Having the ability to refuse fighting and end the game on time or prolong it to an extra round should not be a viable strategy. Even if it occurs naturally, rounds should never end in a tie or by time.



    Proposed solution:

    When the timer runs out and the game has not ended by score, players get warped to a small box with no walls and continue the round via a 1v1 shootout until the round is decided.
    This will be disadvantageous to the team with more players remaining, but they will have squandered an opportunity to end the game in regulation time.


    Think of it like a penalty shoot out from soccer.
    In my opinion, this will be more exciting for the players and spectators.

    A possible ancillary benefit of this type of game format is the potential of raising the skill level of mediocre players.

    I'm sure there are some variables I am forgetting and this could be a coding nightmare for a situation that rarely occurs, but it is still worth considering as it would drastically alter the end game in many rounds for the better.

    I would add that winning by running out the clock should also not be an option.

      I dislike round 4 because it delays basing - everyone already knows I think basing is too late for uk/eu.

      That said, I'm not convinced that this suggestion is a better system for determining which team deserves to win a league.

        The timer should be removed from competitive warbird and jav matches

          Rather than creating a shrinking map system like Cape proposed, why not just place a flag (once the timer expires) at a strategic location. I don't know what specific number would be best, but either make it sudden death with a short flag timer, or allow possession of the flag for, say, 30 seconds to add one death to the enemy.

            Seems like the easiest and fairest suggestion.

            Need to define how to handle the scenario where someone runs, to avoid a 5 hour Jessup.

                It wasn't the last two finals by the way, there were two DTJ finals between TWLJ and this cup. You might have mixed it up because I was in all four finals, so you're forgiven.

                this is extremely flattering though, we should call it the zidane rule and we should rename TWLJ to zidane while we're making the change

                  Oh I'm sure no one can recall that other than you and SS historian Ogron, but congratulations on your achievement.. Before this thread gets derailed by Zidane's small dik energy let me bring it back to the point.

                  Rounds should not end in a tie or by timer. I'm proposing a pub-duel style spawn system for a 1v1 shootout in a small box with no walls to finish rounds that exceed the time limit.

                      My proposal:

                      If the round finishes in a tie the two players get teleported to pub, if no one dies after 30 seconds they are prized with rockets. If after 60 seconds no one has died, pub votes on the winner.

                          Almost made a post without triggering someone. Fail. Back to silent.

                            Once time is out,shrink the map. Javelin is way too easy to "jessup" the clock, especially in a 1v1.

                              Just shorten the timer if you are talking about MMR. I can't believe people get so upset over timed games and the strategies used to win them. That is and always has been the format for TWD. There is nothing wrong playing defensive and is fact smart under the TWD system. It's so odd in 2023 people are suddenly offended by it.

                              If you want faster paced leagues don't ever call it TWDD please but make a league with 10 minute games and team with most kills wins. No knockouts . 5 vs 5 the whole way.
