[ANNOUNCE] Seeking tourney admin(s)
« on: February 14, 2006, 04:41:21 PM »
HOW ARE YOU GENTLEMEN.

As Kobra has expressed a desire to be relieved as tourney admin, we have proceeded according to his stated wishes...

As always, many thanks to KobraKlaws for reffing dozens of games in the last tourney.

Meanwhile, if any of y'all might be into helping admin the next tourney, please let us know.

Viva Q2, etc.

I'd give it a go, not because I have experience running a tourney, because I don't, but I am here ALOT so it'd be easier for me to keep up with everyones time schedules.  Not a big deal though, it shouldn't be difficult.

Due to certain disputes with the admins, and factors involving issues on here and outside of this online world, it would be for the best if I resign.  Never actually made it official that I was stepping down, it was assumed that I was, but it's probably for the best for everyone if we start off fresh with someone new who has dedication and is someone who can represent this community well.

I personally would like to see Defiant! take over as an admin.  plastik would be a good choice as well.  Someone who has experience in tournaments and is able to make it enjoyable for everyone as far as rules go would be welcomed too.

With that said, I now will join Laurelin as a retired admin.  God Bless.

yes, defiant would make a good admin aswell.  no matter what, I would still like to take place in the tourneys, and since I am already co-admin, I see no reason for that to change, unless anyone has any objectiions.

Thanks guys.  I don't have time both in being busy and also having to travel. I do want to help such as if there are brackets, running one bracket.  But there needs to be someone running the show.

I'm disappointed to hear about Kobra.  As I've posted before, I thought he did a great job in Tourney3.

I can referee some matches in Tourney 4.

So who is taking over?  The deadline is in a couple of days.  I recommend you push it back or you will jeopardize the potential success of the tournament.  Make registrations end on the 1st of March and try to come up with a plan on who is going to do what and how exactly this thing is going to be set up.

Not that I care or anything.  But if you want a successful tournament, now is the time to take action instead of doing absolutely nothing.

Hi Kobra,

The lack of caring was kind of the problem.

But anyway, how to proceed has been an ongoing topic of conversation among concerned server admins for a little while now.

I'm pushing for automation, because I've played fully automated tourneys before that I had good experiences participating in.  But they did provide a web-based interface to help scheduling.  I dunno if the forums are up to it (well i mean I dunno if the forums can be a fully-automated solution).

Still, suggestions from tourney refs have been along the lines, hey, why not have each team be responsible for recording a demo and taking a screenshot.  With that, many matches could reasonably take place without a mandatory ref, for ex. (if we can solve the problem of providing access to an adequate server free of players who don't realize a tourney is going on... password-protected tournament servers maybe where the password is published on the forums, and maybe changes each week, or whatever seems to make scheduling matches and playing them on a provided server go most hassle-free.)

Anyway, . . .

All the comments from admins and refs so far are that everone definitely wants a successful tourney, and the tourney will be either automated or postponed until everyone is confident the tourney has the best chance of being a success from the point of view of those taking part in the whole thing.

I don't want to postpone it if there's any way to work out the logistics of more automated:

  -- scheduling
  -- reffing

I think we have a good start on possibilities for automated reffing - but the scheduling, being forums-based, may need some TLC.

Anyway, that's my understanding of where we are.

To all participating in the tourney, your feedback is most welcome.  (For instance, do password protected tourney servers sound useful for getting matches played?  What about no-exception policy for taking demos and screenshots of your team's match if no ref is available at the moment you're able to get everybody together to play?)


Thanks!
