Reviving the league

[LtSpinx]

So, I was thinking it would be nice to get the league going again with some regular play. Any takers?

[Raveen]

Perhaps a fairly short lived tournament would be a good idea? I think I could make time for a few games but maybe not for a long term thing.

I can't remember what tournament options are available in BB but I think it either has league and play off or straight knockout options.

One thing that would be nice would be a highlander arrangement where there can be only one of each race.

Work out how many games it would require and start a sign up thread.

[Adept]

I could be interested.

[LtSpinx]

OK All, I am considering making an 8 team cup tournament.
So, the main questions;

Who is in?

Should we have only one team per race?

Should those be picked first come first served or random allocation?

[Adept]

I'd prefer to play with my sillly halflings 

[Idanmel]

I'm in and I don't care which race I get.

[Raveen]

Idan just volunteered for the all snotling team!

[Idanmel]

Well...
A cup of 8 teams means that everyone plays 7 games before playoffs. Only 4 people managed to squeeze so many games.

Maybe start with a cup of 4-5 people?

[LtSpinx]

Sounds like a good idea. Let's make it 5 teams.

[notjarvis]

I'll bring the Orcs if you will have me... :-)

[LtSpinx]

OK. So we have;

Notjarvis
Idanmel
Raveen
Adept
Wyld Karde
Myself

Looks like we have enough people.

Now to decide on how we pick race and when to play.

[Adept]

What point value do we take? Do we start clean or can I bring the stunties from last time?

[LtSpinx]

I think a clean start would be best.

[Idanmel]

I'll take humans than.

[Gandalf]

Count me in, though I will be picky with timings.

I thought some people liked the freedom of playing whenever they wanted. Are we now saying that we'd rather have to play everyone once? It will at least provide some structure to the whole thing, so I would generally be in favour of such a thing.

I got quite good with the Skaven so I should probably play someone else. I'm thinking Vampires or Dwarves.
