Our next big tourney will start in a few weeks but I’d like to get some of the details worked out. This will be a 2v2 tourney… that means 2 players will take on 2 other players with allied victory enabled. Sounds simple… now the details (please post your comments so we can finalize things, just remember… the fewer comments the more reasons you have to gripe at me for just choosing something you don’t like ).
Teams – how do you want to select the teams? Do you select your teammate or is it random? How many teams can you play on… 1, 2, 3?
Map – I’m working on this right now and have already received some recommendations on some classic older maps that play well. I’m also looking at some newer ones (from the recent mapmaking tourney) and maybe even one that hasn't been released yet. Please comment on types of maps you would prefer to play (small, slugfest, epic, no other AI, lots of AI, etc), feel free to recommend maps too or reference maps. Example Riverland Wars is an excellent map (and a classic) with lots of options for 2v2 setup.
Tourney Scoring/Brackets – what does this look like? Is it a single elimination, round robin, change teams around for future rounds, change maps around for future rounds, etc. We got 16 for the last tourney, we can probably expect 8-16 for this one.
Timing – hope to get the details figured out this month so we can start the first games in Feb
