im thinking of either having several judges making a list of the players, and using that for groups, or having a normal amount of groups (however many their would be) and all of them equal, the better players in each group are in the highest groups in season 2

or just have the first 6 who signed up in A the next 6 in B and then they could work their way up. Hence promotion relegation...

yeah, thats another idea, would be easier :)

Did you count my entry on page 1? I said I was in as long as it is changing formats.

You should think of a new name for your league.

I think the name is fine. Anyways here is the order of people joining
Seahawks(if you're going to play)
Arun
Apollo
Jsa
Miyagi
Frank
Kszyhoo
Pinky apex
Chris
Pushover
Blue Monkey
Gnuffone

I think you should dividev player on base of skill...at least this 1st season.

poll.pollcode.com/isbx1, poll to vote on, the seasons will change templates every season, with the winner choosing the next templatte, out of a list of choices of well known strategic templates, i will create first season in about a week when more people join

for those who are too lazy to copy paste the address, http://poll.pollcode.com/isbx1

Voted.

The third option (Make groups equal) sounds as close as possible to what Chokecherry started with, so might as well go with that.

... also I'd like to join.

I vote for the players to be divided by skill. I would rather play in Group B if Group A was me, Frank, Apollo, Arun, Miyagi, and Seahawks. There's just not much competition there, the winner of me and Frank would almost ceartainly win the tournament.

But if you have me, Frank, kszyhoo, Mr. Pink (especially on Guiroma), Gnuffone, ChrisCMU, that would be much better because it would be against players who were closer to my skill level. Group B would then be Miyagi, Apollo, Pushover, Seahawks, Peace, Arun, Bluemonkey which apart from possibly Bluemonkey, I think it would be guys that are of similar skills.

Looks interesting. Count me in, even though I don't like straight round.

I voted skill, but I have an added twist. Don't worry about making groups even number of players (say A and B). Instead, make tiers of players and use those as the first groups. Then you are letting season 1 sort out those players which seem to be of similar skill.

an example:

Tier 1
JSA, Frank, Gnuff, Mr Pink, kszyhoo

Tier 2:
Blue Monkey, ChrisCMU, Miyagi, Pushover

Tier 3:
Arun, Apollo

If you don't get more for Tier 3, just push them into Tier 2.

That would need to be adjusted once signup is complete. But like I said. focus more on tiers so that everyone is fairly evenly matched. Then you will have a complete ranking 1-n.

Just divide that ranking into whatever group amount you want (5 or 6 maybe), and you have your divisions for season 2

I'm in.

Chris, I'd put Apollo into Tier 2 then and put Bluemonkey into Tier 3. Arun could go either way between 2 and 3.

Yeah, I have no idea who plays guiroma from tier 2 and 3. I know Miyagi does, but that is about it. It was just an example :)

Also, you need to add rento and Ironheart into tiers.
