Have you ever run a Swiss tournament before? It would have been cool if there were enough participants to try it out. Let me know if you want any help with brackets or round robin set up, but I’m guessing you’ve got it
That's very much appreciated. With just 9 people though, I think I got it. And yes, I'm a little familiar. Thank you very much for the offer!
Ha, yeah, I know, the drama of spectacle and all that, the building of tension ratcheting all the way up to the finals.
Sadly, there's no real way to reserve the "best" matches for the final rounds in a round robin.
The most interesting matches may not be between the best "opponents", however. So that's something to keep in mind.
Streaming likely isn't conducive to everyone's schedules, so for now, the plan is just to hold the thing over the forums.
The plan is, at present, to record everyone's matches, and then hosting them, I'll probably just use Youtube.
I'll also post a log and a general description of each match, the combat log, and images from each of the matches on the forums.
So this should probably satisfy things?
In terms of the schedule, the plan is to write up and record a single full round every day. This allows people to check in and see how their creature is doing. Since we'll be doing round robin, the event will go on for slightly longer than one week. I'll post the character bios, art, and a blurb on each monster at sometime on 10/6. And ideally, if I can, I'd like to be able to record and then host the matches for the first round of the tournament, do the write ups, and have those posted together by sometime in the late evening~ish of the same day. From there, we just keep chugging along till everyone's matches are completed. And it'll continue till its over!
Again, thanks to everyone who has submitted creatures thus far!
