CG / ET United Cups for 2016

Normal


e: I think the "new" admins did a good job with hosting United Cups etc...
But there is a comminuty which would love to participate aswell.
If you could make these cups for the entire community it would be awesome.
Like Ohurcool's cups where always with a group stage and a division stage.

Normal Tournaments, although I suppose I'm a bit biased since it's the only competition I'd participate in myself. "Special" cups are fine, but it is the regular cup seasons that matter most in terms of keeping ET active. Don't forget about the teams & players who are still playing ET but aren't good enough to compete in United Cups / NC / Allstars.

Normal Tournaments +1

Draft cup baby

Why just one pick?

all of the above. this isn't directed at only Foreigner or CG, though.

3o3 one day cup every sunday from ~1/2/3CET
6o6 one day cup every sunday from ~6/7/8CET

3o3 NC (ODC): one per 3-4 months to replace any of the sunday 3o3, and possibly 6o6, one day cup dates (insta bracket cup, 4-5 players per team, no mercs allowed)
6o6 NC (ODC): one per 3-4 months to replace any of the sunday 6o6, and possibly 3o3, one day cup dates (insta bracket cup, 7-8 players per team, no mercs allowed)
6o6 draft (ODC): one per 1-2 months to replace any of the sunday 6o6, and possibly 3o3, one day cup dates (insta bracket cup, 7-8 players per team, no mercs allowed)
Allstar cup (ODC): replace 1 of the sunday 6o6 one day cup dates (insta bracket cup, 7-8 players per team, no mercs allowed) - imo this one should come after drafts, NCs and whatnot have been tested out.
Normal tournaments: run in spring/autumn (3o3/6o6) - attempt to avoid sundays for match dates to maintain overall activity @ ODCs.

this system will bring more opportunities both to people who a) are available every week and b) who are only available for short periods every few weeks or months. it'll also allow teams to scout easily for more reliable players when the normal tournaments arrive (+ LAN later in the year.)

ps. if activity is good, THEN host actual 3o3/6o6 NC tournaments (one each in the entire of 2016) to not coincide with the 3o3+6o6 spring tournaments

*bottom line* (literally)avoid cups that rely on people showing up regularly during summer. that's the time for ODCs, ODCs and more ODCs.

put my ideea that Ross stole from me back into game.

meaning, 6on6 teams in a tournament to help not only the less skilled people get some tips and tricks from the very skilled, but also getting people to know each other, thus creating stronger bounds in a community that shrinks with every day

I think you guys should focus first on these three cups:

• 3on3 and 6on6 NationsCup.
  
• 3on3 and 6on6 Cybergames Seasons.
  
• Community Draft Cup
  

I think that is the Top 3 most interesting cups.

OneDayCup's everyone can host them i shouldnt pay that much time on it because i also used to host some OneDayCups and im kinda motivated to start hosting again.

Community draft cup is almost never done since i play ETPro and i think its good for a little change.

Allstars Cup would be nice to watch but most of the community wont play except for the skilled or known ones.

ET United Cups not everyone gets his chance to play in this cup , Its only based on skilled teams in my opinion.Maybe you could make a little play-offs for that.

community draft: let IGLA be one captain and finally see hodor playing

Every two weeks showmatch of 12 drafted players who would play 2 maps outside standard 6on6 mappool. Not counting igieu.

normal one day cups are the best, full best of 3s

(3on3 and) 6on6 NC
