Riot has agreed to provide some prizes to this tournament. They do require us to have at least 40 players (8 teams), so if there is not enough people for (draft mode), we may lower the requirements until we have enough (normal mode) :
If we only have the 5 teams would it be more fair to run a round robin tourney in place of the single elim? I was crunching some numbers. If we have the full 60 signed up at an average of 30 minute games the 12 teams would take about 2 hours. A 5 team round robin at the same 30 minute average would only take an additional 30 minutes for a total of 2 and a half hours. Not to mention that each of the 5 teams would be able to play 4 games making it feel more like a tourney.
No.
Team creation will take about 30 min.
The game itself can easily last an hour, then drafting characters takes more time, then setting up teams to actually play each other in a custom game takes even more time.
I'm looking to start and end the tournament within 4 hours (6pm) so we can gear up for the next tournament COD4 / Dinner.
If we could get at most 5 volunteers as fillers, and they understand there is a chance that they will not be able to join the tournament, I will consider it.
I will also require the filler team to be lvl 30.
I'll sign myself up for the filler team as last to join (I'd rather concentrate on running this tournament but will join in if that means to prevent someone not playing).
Ok, so lvl 10 AND 16 champions available (there is 10 free available each week) is the requirement.
Its been mentioned before, however the teams will be completely randomized (random.org).
At the lan, going to do a roll call (2pm) of who's there and construct the teams right there. I will need everyone who is going to be in the tournament at least signed up with their summoner's name an hour before (1 pm).
The tournament will be single elimination.
Some teams may have an extra player and those teams need to decide who's playing. To balance this a little, the extra people will go in order of the teams and the last odd team will get a first round bye if there is one.
So for example, Team A, B, C, the first 2 extra people will go to team A and B, and C will get a first round bye because A vs B and C plays the winner of that match.
On Deathmatch there is also just one winner. The teams would still be randomized on each side mode because I think you can't set free for all ( not sure I can make it free for all by turning on friendly fire).
There may be a team deathmatch mod, however it doesn't look like it is standard.
Depending on what mode wins here, we can test out on this upcoming mini-lan.
