Amateur Tourney: Scheduling Question in General Discussion
Josh  :D

    Hey everyone,

    I'm putting together an amateur tourney for folks that want to take it a level above team MM, but aren't going to be getting in a league anytime soon. To that point, scheduling is going to be an issue. I was thinking about trying to have more mini-tourneys and just crack it out over a weekend under the thought of it being easier to get people to commit to a weekend of availability vs throughout the week, especially when you consider timezones.

    If you were thinking about joining a tourney, what type of a schedule do you think would work? Is the weekend idea viable or would you want another option?

      Definitely weekend. Could start in the early afternoon (like 2 p.m.) and end in the evening. Ez Pz

        Just let the two opponents (for each game) figure out between themselves a time for when they can play.

          I like the weekend plan. Letting the two opponents each schedule a time makes things way more convoluted. Folks that participate are going to have to commit to a schedule. Asking 10 people when they're free is probably worse than trying to get 10 people to all try to agree on a movie. Some folks simply won't be able to participate because of schedules (I sometimes wish my whole life could be dota too).

            And then what does a schedule accomplish? You clearly have no idea what you are going on about mate, keep in mind that people who are signing up to a tournament are not going to be busy all the time, or they would not have signed up in the first place. And the only interaction between the two teams is done between their captains. You can set a period, maybe the weekened for when the match has to be done by/within, but other than that, this has been the best method for amateur tournaments.

              I'm not sure I follow what you're saying. It seems an awful lot like what you're saying is that because you don't agree with the way I want to do this, that I don't know what I'm doing.

              Do you have info on other amateur tourneys? I haven't seen much about them.
