If you want to change the ranking system to TrueSkill (put everything up on Sheets a la CSL, and I'll write the code you need to rate players using TrueSkill + pair teams), you can re-randomize teams after each game to eliminate that cause for the most part.

Love this idea! And you don't need to write TrueSkill code, Fizzer already posted a tool for that!

A win could be simply counted as 3 wins for each player, one against each member of the other team although there may be some order issues (which player gets the win against which player first), but these could be somewhat randomized out.

I cant speak for the LEA, since im not the leader. I just have some questions.

How do the teams get randomized?
I would assume once the teams are set, they wont change anymore between the games(unless you need to replace someone). Though the last replies made me not so sure anymore - i kinda like the idea of new random teams every match but then there is no point in a team ranking, right?

Do the team get randomized within their own clans or all participating players (so mixed teams may appear)?
Edit: Already answered in the opening post :/
If the latter one is the case why do you need clans to sign up anyway? ... you just need groups of 3 players no matter what clan they are coming from or am i missing sth?


However it is worked out, this really looks pretty and i definetely would like to participate. Ofcourse I have to wait for the Captain to decide how its going and if i join with the LEA or as a freelancer (still dont really see the difference).

Another Edit: Btw Europe may be my least favorite map in team games. Can I get a lobby here for changing that to any other map? XD

I'll play on team outlaw, then :)

Buns157 and me form Icelandic turtles I will try and get another

I'll play.... From Icelandic Turtles team though.

A win could be simply counted as 3 wins for each player, one against each member of the other team although there may be some order issues (which player gets the win against which player first), but these could be somewhat randomized out.

I don't think even that would be necessary. TrueSkill's got an algorithm for handling team games that rates players individually. I mean, randomized teams are probably the bread and butter of TrueSkill, given that it was made for Xbox Live, so we can simply roll with what it already has without applying any logic of our own at that level.

Yeah, the LEA would like to participate in this. Definitely if Benjamin is running things.

Silas, I designate you in charge of assembling the team.

yes silas my thoughts exactly...you are our official rep for this one... thanks Doc

Count us in

we have extras from illuminati:
Zappyelf
Gimil too (look down)

me too :-)

I'd like to play, but I am confused at how the matchup/team process will work.

So I play with 2 random people against 3 random people. We win. What happens next? Those 6 people go into the pool of random players and form new teams?

Yes and somehow we get rated and eventually get paired up with ransoms of our rating....

I'm following MW and knytes advice, so yes.

The tournament is almost full, I will only take 2 more clans. May add some next round but here is what I am thinking:

-Teams are Randomized
-INDIVIDUAL players are ranked using trueskill (knyte + MW are going to be mailed soon)
