Well I'm not sure if we should do random mirror per each round, or set the civs for each round. This is the first post asking questions about civs lol

I wanted to keep it simple and do random mirror.

Added/Edited the first post.


Start Date


When
  • Please arrive at least one hour prior (06:00am) to the start of the tournament. This will allow you to organize your team and to practice.
  • You are allowed up to one hour after the start time to play. If you have not started your game before 08:00 (-7 GMT), your team will be disqualified. If you're team is ready to play and the other team hasn't shown up, please message a VCOM Host prior to 08:00 (-7 GMT).

Where
  • The VCOM Ladder must be used for all Tournament games. If the game is launched without selecting the VCOM Ladder, the match will be void and will be repeated.

Hmm not sure if I agree with the dictated times to play, I realise the tournament must flow and can't be held up because people need to scheduled but I mean a team of four people (most likely from different countries) all having personal lives, school, college, university, work, socialising time etcetc I'm sure more games will be forfeited rather then played if a time is enforced. It might seem un-organised and chaotic but the way the SY cup worked seemed to go well. allow the teams to come up with their own times to play? Yes the tournament might last longer then you expect but it means more games will be played. I realise teams have an hour leeway but it still might not be enough, if someone have education/work 10 times out of 10 they will obviously go to education/work rather than play a AoE game, and if it's a BF game chances are it will be 50 mins long. If you haven't got atleast an hour free you wont even think of starting a game, eg if a game is meant to start at 5pm (GMT) and I'm at work from 6pm (GMT) I wouldn't consider playing because I wouldn't have time to play and fit in getting ready for and getting too work.

Where as allowing players to independently organise their own games gives them the ability to schedule more appropriate times for everyone, if an outcome is not reached by a week then tournament hosts will award an Admin Win (AW) to the team who was more active on the thread?

And what if it takes players a month to complete the first round? Other players that have moved on to Round 2 will have to wait for them =/

I thought about that too. Yes, I will give this more thought lol

Well allow a week to arrange the games? Like I said if the game isn't played within 1 week the tournament hosts should decide the AW whether that's to the higher rated team because they're more likely to win, the team which tried the hardest to arrange times (most active offering numerous times) etc etc

I agree with you, teams should have some time to schedule the match but a limited time (one week for 1rs round could work, and as you said in another post, if they dont reach an agreement admin could make the last decision)

Is lamming allowed? Besides rushing in the Intermediate ladder, is stealing sheep, killing deer/boars, walling resources etc allowed?


I think it is allowed since it's not really in the banning policies.

GENERAL GAME VIOLATIONS

(Warning, -150 points, Temporary Ban, Permanent Ban)

Any actions concerning a player who behaves in a manner that is deemed against the spirit of the game.
These offenses apply regardless of the game's outcome (win or loss for those affected). Evidence showing further violations of this nature in an attempt to combat the original offense may warrant a warning or full punishment themselves if deemed equally disruptive to the game.
Examples of such conduct include but are not limited to:

Walling enemies to prevent allies finishing the game (game delaying)
Walling allies (i.e. using a villager to build walls around a player's base or buildings)
Using siege units to destroy your ally's base
Repeated creation of smurf accounts to team known allies, in a clear attempt to gain extra points and beat up lesser skilled players.
Using AI Scripts or Computers in replacement of players.

I suppose one week before the tournament begins the players should check the tournament brackets and start organising if they can play at that time ,if the match must be delayed then a tournament host must also be online at that time or not.

I agree Full Team Random is the best setting for all players ,no team will have superior civilization over the other (I can see it now both Persian players colliding with mass elephants lol)

+1. Not only will people have other conitments (education, work, social loves etc etc) for some people I'm sure it's just a terrible time to play, people from all over the world will be playing so it could mean some players will be playing at 4am or something silly like that.

I personally think allowing people to independently schedual their own games over the time span of one eeek would be better.

I had a look at the sign up page for division A


"If a player has dropped during the game, it may or may not be restarted based on the current game standings.

If a player from the winning team dropped, then the match will be restored. (should be resumed? )
If the game is still undecided at time of drop, match will be restored.
Dropped games have to be restored within 15min, else the player having a technical issue will be disqualified.
If a player from the losing team dropped (and it is clear he is losing), then the losing team will have the option of restoring ( resumed? ) the game and play 4v3, or they will be disqualified.

Well this probably should have been in the suggestion thread but Banality and myself talked about something like this idea.
Imagine winner of division A Vs winner of division B in a super final ( they will get their original prizes of coarse)
That winner faces theviper+ 3 top players as part of advertising and promoting Voobly or something similar.

I like the idea of winners of Division A vs winners of Division B, I mean metaphorically it's like the Europa cup and the Champions league for any football fans out there. The Europa cup symbolises Division A and the Champions league division B. The winner of each face off in the Supercup. And for all those sceptics thinking "Oh Division B would dominate Division A winners" well not necessarily, maybe on paper they might have a better record but it's down to the day, someone might play badly, maybe Division A winners being the underdogs will find their key form and really try to prove they deserve their 1st place etc etc.

Also with this being a long shot, how many of us NPL players will EVER get the chance to talk play with/against and or even talk to a 2k+ TyRanT player? It'd be a little fun to face the best the NPL can offer (BF) wise against some of the best player on voobly, yes okay it will be a massacre (unless maybe the pros have a handycap) but it's a good opportunity to take part in, I know I'd love to play against a world class AoE player just for the experience and fun.
