Points of Discussion (that I remember at the moment)
- Team Combinations/Number of teams for USA
- Overall tournament format
- Deadlines/Dates
- Americans playing for different teams
- Determining team captains
- How to choose the starting/subbing players for larger teams
1) I'd say one team for the USA, with a good amount of subbing to give a decent amount of players subbing time.
2) Group + Finals seemed fine
3) Last two weeks of November was the time last year, same thing should work.
4) Don't think this really worked out last time.
5) Voting?
6) I'd be against team captains picking, lots of bias can occur.

Re: Fort Cup - Discussion Thread
I think everything should stay the same except making only 1 US team. :)
btw was the last fort cup really seperated on 2 weekends? can't remember

Re: Fort Cup - Discussion Thread
@Slov yes it was, we had a group stage (4 groups of 3) and then 2 from each group went forward to make 8 team elimination style bracket (like quarters of ladle onwards).
I agree with desolate's points. I think to play for a team you either should hold that nationality or live in that country.

Re: Fort Cup - Discussion Thread
we should do this with the ladle once a year to. I mean, have regular teams, but do a group stage and call it something special, spread it over two weekends
Re: Fort Cup - Discussion Thread
Question: do you have to play where ur from?
If so, that'd be a lot of U.S....Maybe we could do east and west?

There are literally 10s of pages arguing this point over in the previous thread if you want a "fun" read.Slickster wrote:Question: do you have to play where ur from?

Basically, some people (myself included) last year pushed for multiple USA teams due to the numbers, which would allow the first tournament to have more participating teams, and more people would get to play. However, if I remember correctly, the general conclusion was that this year we should try tame it back from 3 teams to 1, and at the very most 2.
@Concord, someone should bring it up in a ladle (voting) thread then

Re: Fort Cup - Discussion Thread
Like last one with 2 usa teams instead of 3. (east and west yeah)
Re: Fort Cup - Discussion Thread
I'd personally be in favor of 2...Don't know how much that matters.

Re: Fort Cup - Discussion Thread
I still don't think East and West works out even if the community agreed on two teams, the Eastern players outnumber the Western players.
Re: Fort Cup - Discussion Thread
I think having a lot of teams in the US is fine, but the people in the US should be able to choose the teams for themselves.

I like that idea..owned wrote:I think having a lot of teams in the US is fine, but the people in the US should be able to choose the teams for themselves.
I don't know why we would have to limit to 1 team
Re: Fort Cup - Discussion Thread
Deso, I think you should create a thread similar to last year where people sign up, so we can see how many potential teams/players there are before we tackle a few of those points above.

I planned on opening it a little later, but I see how actual numbers would help-*inS*- wrote:Deso, I think you should create a thread similar to last year where people sign up, so we can see how many potential teams/players there are before we tackle a few of those points above.
Re: Fort Cup - Discussion Thread
Ok cool.
Also I'm wondering if moving it forward a week would be good(?), the last weekend in November is thanksgiving weekend so a lot of people are spending that time with their families/flying back to school on that day.
I remember because I was super late last year, when I opened up tron and found my team playing in the finals lol

Re: Fort Cup - Discussion Thread
I vote for 2 U.S.A. teams.
East Coast
Rest of U.S.A.
This game is supposed to be for fun right? Why eliminate the majority of American players just because they aren't up to par with a select 8 or so.
Two U.S.A. teams FTW!
BTW, I remember there being 3 U.S.A. teams last time. Are there not enough players anymore for this?
