speed cup suggestions

since i might be hosting the next one, dunno, haven't talked to Rhand yet, but Thomm is busy, do you guys have any suggestions? I mean its obvious that the redo option should be put in. but actually put in some input.

Thanks

Make a slow cup, too.
the redo is ridiculous
it's like a running contest: if you fail it's not like they're going to restart the whole run ?
have a looser brackets just in case some one his unlucky and maybe they can redime themselves
would probably take too long but I'm not sure

we need 2 runs and the avarage of that!
No.
We need 2 runs but the best time count..

winner bracket & loser bracket. redo option = gay imo.
doesnt matter cos ill win
best suggestion is get rid of rhand
I only specced him

We would have used two runs too, but it would have took so much time :/

Another option we considered was a total time system, every map time would be counted as one total time, then a fail in one map couldn´t destroy your competition. And one wildcard-run on that system too. But it would still take time, unless you got good admins and 4-5 servers which you can use.

I give you my support psychee, GL.
doo it on minastirith
input does always need to be image: putin_wal_DW_Berlin_509432g
change the maps for a obvious start :P

either do two runs and you add the times together or two runs and take the best time.

or a loser bracket.
the cup on sunday took way too long, if there would've been more servers there was no such problem

oh and replace radar, put adlernest in orso
Adlernest was in, it was used in the semi-final.

you're right, my bad

i think, it should be a race against time, or apponant. you give 1 person to another person, and you have to beat there time, like a 1on1 race

could be nice :)

Only allow reruns or LB if you got AT LEAST 1 server per 10 participants because otherwise it will take WAY too long. Especially as admin it's really boring, You just sit on a server more than 3 hours doing nothing except noting times.

Maps were okay, you need maps with as little engi-stuff as possible. I mean you can't use Supply or Goldrush for obvious reasons. Perhaps Oasis could be used since there are quite some trickjumps n stuff but otherwise the maps were fairly okay for it.

I would minimise it to 1 try per participant though, you just don't have to blown it. Gives the competition an extra edge imo. Only failures ask for a 2nd run. I never saw voiler asking for a second time for instance.
