Rules Update For Round 3 Feedback Request
Posted: Tue Jan 31, 2023 7:37 pm
Hello everyone,
Round 2 is wrapping up and we're gearing up for the next phase - Round 3: The Semi-Finals.
Since we are ahead of schedule with the tournament overall we have thought of offering players the opportunity, for the next round, to play mirrored matches, so that everyone gets the chance to play as either side. This means instead of single elimination, the two players who get the highest cumulative score in their two games will be deemed the winners and go to the Grand Finals, while the remaining two will go to the Small Finals.
We'd like to pose the question to the contestants - would you be interested in such a modification to the rules?
You're not obliged to accept this new setup. If some players want to go through with this new setup, while others don't - we will accommodate to ensure all players are playing in a setup they're most comfortable with.
Also, for any contestants considering playing mirrored matches, if you choose to accept, this means you'll have two games running instead of just one and we understand that that may be a significant time commitment and that our standard 5 weeks might not be enough. As such we were thinking of adding an extra week or two for players who choose to play mirrored games in the upcoming round. Is this additional time needed? Is it sufficient?
Please use this forum thread to respond to the above ideas.
Ultimately, the tournament judge, Joel, will make the final call on how to proceed based on contestant feedback.
Stay tuned for further updates as we prepare for the next round!
