The 2nd PA Open - Doubles Championship

Three days left before we get started. Any more takers?

Thats not the problem, the problem is that if the divided players have less starting mexes than the combined. It is a hard thing to judge though, so i think only obvious situations need restarting.

I might agree with you if you can describe those obvious situations.

Where the spawns are so unbalanced it is highly unlikely one team will win. Example: One team spawns next to one mex with a long walk. The other team spawns next to 4 mex each with good, easy, close mex expansions.

not many more obvious situations that that.

Although a good example, this can still not be so obvious: Divided players have 8 with good expansions whereas combined have 9 with bad. Believe it or not there are maps out there with 9s .

Think players should make that call; since it's subjective what constitutes a good/bad start in a team game. Only time where a re should be forced is when one side spawns on a HUGE patch with expansion whereas others spawn on a tiny, isolated patch (with no possible expansion).

Awesome job again oxide. Looks like we have at least 16 teams now .

its impossible for the players to make the call at the start of the match, and will make it a huge waste of time playing it if one complains afterwards. But like i said, only the truly obvious situations (if there are any more than the one i mentioned) should require a restart.

Grrrr, why does this have to be on a Friday at noon! I will be at work...

That time is only the official start. You can play your game any time you want.

When the brackets going up?

Here it is, it was randomly generated (promise) no complaining please

I have to go out tonight guys, I'll be back later to make a round 1 system. If you want to play before I sort this out go ahead, but do so on a 2 planet system of any configuration. Cheers!

No complaining from me ^.^

Polish off the noobs and then the Ultimate Duel against BurntCustard the Kingslayer.

What's the deadline for round 1 games? Maybe Monday?

Oxide mentioned Friday in the IRC today if I recall correctly.

Actually, I think Saturday will more reasonable. At least thay way people will have 1 weekend day to complete their match if weekdays aren't possible.
