Before the 2nd US-International Tournament, I'd like to try something a little different. Namely, a VOOT team tournament!
1st Oratan.com VOOT Team Challenge
Logistics:
Date: Saturday, October 17, 2009
Time: 9PM Eastern
Location: Xbox Live
Open to: Everyone
Tournament Info:
Team Size: 3 players
Team Point Cap: 5 points (see below)
Format: Single-elimination tournament
Seeding: Random
VR restrictions: None
First place prize: A warm, fuzzy feeling
How Team Matches Work:
In a given match between two teams, one person from each team will play exactly one person from the opposing team. The team that wins the most games will be the winners. Here's an example match:
Before a given match between two teams, the captain of the team with the lower point value will decide who plays whom.Team Red = Player A, Player B, Player C
Team Blue = Player 1, Player 2, Player 3
Player A vs. Player 2, Player A wins
Player B vs. Player 1, Player 1 wins
Player C vs. Player 3, Player C wins
Team Red wins
If both teams have an equal number of points, then one team will pick the first match-up, and the other team will pick the second match-up. I will flip a coin to see who picks first
Points and Point Caps:
The Point Cap for this tournament is 5 points. That means the Team Worth of all members of a team added up cannot exceed 5 points. Here is the current points list, generated from the results of the previous tournament (USIT1):
anikingVOOT: 5 points (special case, not actually in the rankings)
MentholMo0se: 4 points
Schooly D: 4 points
DeltastrikeX: 2 points
Sixfortyfive: 2 points
SolarSonic: 2 points
DaveRudolph: 1 point
Lnbot: 1 point
Neo Helbeast: 1 point
Shamanic Beat: 1 point
WyldstyleNeo: 1 point
All other players: 0 points (free!)
point cap formula: (points held by #1 player [MentholMo0se]) + ([n-1]/2)*(average points held by all players)
n = team size (3)
point cap = (4) + (1)*(1.9) = 5 (rounded down)
So, for example, a team consisting of MentholMo0se (4), Sixfortyfive (2), and Shamanic Beat (1) would be illegal (4 + 2 + 1 = 7 > 5). A team consisting of MentholMo0se (4), Shamanic Beat (1), and a player not listed above (0) would be legal (4 + 1 + 0 = 5).
Special Cases:
- If a team member is missing during the tournament, the team may replace him, so long as the point cap is not exceeded.
- In the event of a tie, the team with the lower point value will be the winner.
- The minimum number of teams for this tournament to happen is 4. Any less, and the tournament will be cancelled!
