Well with the recent player boost, thanks in part to the monthly, ctf madness was hosted again tonight with some quality players, instead of lots of UN noobs.
So some of us got to thinking about another ctf tournament.
So if anyone has any suggestions about a new CTF season, post them here.
Right now we're thinking a month or two time range, with 4 teams. GCs will obviously be on the teams, though if they will be the captains has yet to be decided.
A draft will probably be used this time rather than "signing" people with contracts and poo.
The main problem with most of these leagues are the following: A) people get busy and aren't able to make the matches, so nothing goes on and the league stagnates B) people lose interest when their team starts losing, so they stop playing and the league stalls
So the plan is to make everyone who wants to participate pay a free, such as 10 tickets. The winning team and the runner up will get some of their tickets back (winner gets all, run up gets half back). That way people can stay interested as having something to play for.
So why would the last place team still have a reason to get on and play?
Not sure yet, trying to solve that problem.
So throw in suggestions as you see fit.

Ok first of all you do realise only Game Coordinator ranks can post in this section. Anyway first things first need to get the timings sorted. If im correct the last CTF League Season times were at 9pm Est which will make it a sunday at ur american zone and 2am on monday at Gmt time zone. Anyway 2am would be abit late for Brit people simply cuz its late and people would have school,college or work or w.e earlier the same morning. Maybe putting it an hour back or two?

Lame @ gcs only.
But w/e.
TBH those matches are very late and often run into other things.
Finding a compromisable time will be tough. Maybe weekends won't be the only day we compete but who knows.

Maybe we can have skilled GC's being the captains.Meaning the ones who have fundamental in ctf/have a bit more experience such as Me, Gladius, Clel, maybe even Thor but he isn't exactly a GC but can host and tix. Timings can be 7 or 8 pm est on fridays and saturdays. I'd say a little late on friday since thats the day where everyone most likely stays up late.

I remember from the last season that you and Oni were Captains at the same when you were non GC's so I don't see why a non GC can be a team captain.

That was trips league, and that was a highly biased/fixed league, though it did work.

Somehow.
Each team should have a GC on it, so that guarantees not all the gcs will be playing, and thus hopefully one can host.
The only issue would be if another team's GC couldn't be on to host, but then again thats the main problem anyways (having people on for games).

Usually a GC is always on.

Then why do people complain that events aren't hosted.

Then why do people complain that events aren't hosted. Because they give the GC's too much grief.

Then why do you tell me to hurry up when I'm trying to get a ctf started.
