@Critical, this is what I had in mind for how the games would play out, with the point system I would put in place:

Win 2-0 = 3 points
Win 2-1 = 2 points
Loss 1-2 = 1 point
Loss 0-2 = 0 points

Lets say for arguments sake, there is 3 teams.

Team EU: cactus flagg and fr stack
Team Virginia: BeatDownMao88, Treadmill and Travokane
Team Austin: Squirrel, Tama Tones, Luxu1

Now when Team EU meets Team Virginia, it means I have to play against every member of Team Virginia once and so does fr stack. Here is hypothetical outcome to this encounter using the point system I suggested earlier.

Treadmill vs cactus flagg 2-0 (3 points to Treadmill)
Treadmill vs fr stack 2-1 (2 points to Treadmill, 1 point to fr stack)
Beatdown vs cactus flagg 2-1 (2 points to Beatdown, 1 point to cactus flagg)
Beatdown vs fr stack 1-2 (1 point to Beatdown, 2 points to fr stack)
Travokane vs cactus flagg 0-2 (0 points to Travokane, 3 points to cactus flagg)
Travokane vs fr stack 1-2 (1 point to Travokane, 2 points to fr stack)

Now the outcome here is that Team Virginia came away with 9 points and Team EU came away with 9 points.This demonstrates how a smaller team has just as much of a chance as getting as many points as the larger teams, and the importance of not dropping a game in the best of 3. As I would try and arrange for every team to meet twice, this would count as one encounter.

Now, Team Virginia plays Team Austin and the outcome is:

Treadmill vs Squirrel 2-0 (Tread gets 3 points)
Treadmill vs Tama Tones 2-0 (Tread gets 3 points)
Treadmill vs Luxu1 2-1 (Tread gets 2 points, lux gets 1 point)
Beatdown vs Squirrel 0-2 (Squirrel gets 3 points)
Beatdown vs Tama Tones 0-2 (Tones gets 3 points)
Beatdown vs Luxu1 1-2 (Beatdown gets 1 point, Lux gets 2 points)
Travokane vs Squirrel 0-2 (Squirrel gets 3 points)
Travokane vs Tama Tones 0-2 (Tones gets 3 points)
Travokane vs Luxu1 0-2 (Lux gets 3 points)

Even though Treadmill dominates Team Austin and comes away with 8 points, the grand total for Team Virginia is only 9 points as Team Austin make short work of Beatdown and Travokane, and Team Austin comes away with 18 points despite dropping so many against Treadmill. This is an example that having one really good player on your team does not guarantee automatic success and it means EVERYONE has to perform well if they want the whole team to do well.

I think using this system still generates hype, because there is then a massive amount of pressure for everyone to do well AND to get as many points as possible from everyone they meet. It also means if two teams are tied for points, every encounter they have really matters as everyone battles to get as many points as possible to come out on top. In this sense, it almost works like running a small league.

I will respond to your previous post when I get a chance to digest what you're saying, but does that make sense? In fact does that make sense to everyone? It's actually quite simple when you look at how it works.

Off the top of my head, if teams were made of 2-3 players, I can think of at least 5 teams that would probably be up for this, and that's not including everyone else that has been in the last tournaments.

SAIX, i've been looking at a couple of programs and I could make something in office or excel, like a very simple League Table, and copy and paste it into the Official Thread. This can be updated every week so everyone can see how their teams are progressing. Even something as simple as (but it would of course look nicer in a table of sorts):

Team
Austin 18 points
Virginia 18 points
EU 9 points


If everyone plays two teams a week, say a Wednesday and then on the Weekend, this means everyone is in a team battle once every 3 days aprox. Three days is good, it's quite a bit of time between Battles, but not long enough that people get impatient.

Right so like I said basically a round robin lol.
 
I like the idea of a team league, causes team mates to play with each other more often to practice, makes playing more exciting, and having more of a league setting then a tourney I don't feel as impatient for the next match. "Oh it's Thursday, time for matches."
 
Well I know what a Round Robin is now, but over here we just refer to them as League Tables, where points matter the most.

I like some aspects of what you suggested before, and I quite like the idea of having "subs", and even like the idea of having a round count as a life, but im not sure everyone would go for it. It would mean that if one guy was on his one life, plays his next match, loses in the first round, he is expelled. That's fine, but that means then waiting for the second round to finish quickly, and a bit of faffing about. Im not sure everyone would be down for that, but maybe we'll see what people say.

Okay, perfect! Check this out:
http://bluebones.net/table.php?id=104082

Now ignore the "pts" column and the "A" column as this is a League generator using English football rules. What is important is everything else. It shows that Austin has played 1 game, Won 1 game, Drawn none, Lost none, and have 18 points as shown in the f column (this is based on the hypothetical match outcomes I displayed in post #269).

So is there anyone else in texas who wants to be on a team?

I'm not sure yet whether to make teams consist of 2-3 or 2-4 players. I know Squirrel, Lux and Tones will likely be on the same team. I think SterlingXSilver may also be Texan. If I put a "sign up sheet" in the next coupla days, then if people at least sign up, teams could be arranged after. Unless you have a friend or two, Zoid?
 
Dont think I have anybody in mind. Im sure it can be figured out, maybe me and vital could be on a team since he lives in georgia which isnt too far.

Not far??? Then Team TATAZ gets mike since he is in PA and PA is within shouting distance.

I'll put something up over the weekend like a sign up. If people list their region and timezone then we can sort the teams out after without anyone jumping the gun. I think teams should probably be no more than 3 players.
