Rainbow Schlitz: Vegas 2 League

[BullJunior]

<p mce_keep="true">Here we go again:
<p mce_keep="true">If we are going to have an AGE league for Rainbow 6, we need to get it rolling before summer vacations start up and matches become difficult to schedule. I have collected alot of your thoughts about future events. A league gets plenty of support, but I've heard that others get burned out by leagues or just straight up prefer one-nighters. In an attempt to keep evolving and improving AGE events, I would like a little input.
<p mce_keep="true">I'm thinking of a slightly shorter league. In an effort to accomadate different schedules, I propose 2 divisions: EST and PST (or 9:00 and 11:00 divisions). At sign-up, you will be allowed to sign up in a squad of 2 or 3 and state which division you can or would like to join. Regular schedule would be within division only, then playoffs would mix. (This setup will allow scrimmages between divisions).
<p mce_keep="true">Rules (which will be debated and possibly modified):
<ul>[*]
<div mce_keep="true">5 or 6 playing members per team (depending onsign-ups)</div>[*]
<div mce_keep="true">Each team chooses unique Home Map</div>[*]
<div mce_keep="true">One match per week</div>[*]
<div mce_keep="true">9rounds:4 Home,4 Away, 1 tie-breaker(visitors picks 2 gametypes, flip spawns) (tie-breaker map and GT determined by admin)</div>[*]
<div mce_keep="true">No restrictions, default settings except A&amp;D will be set to 2 respawns</div>[*]
<div mce_keep="true">Playoffs: Seeding determines match-ups</div>[/list]<p mce_keep="true">The purpose of this post is to measure interest and give a little more feedback. I'm assuming a majority of event AGE'rs are down with a league and will start sign-ups on Saturday-ish. If it seems an overwheming majority want one-nighters, then I will start a series of themed one-nighters. Also, when sign-ups begin, I will start a Live message campaign.
<p mce_keep="true">So, let me hear it. Want do you want, and I'll put it together.

1) I wonder if we'll get enough interest in a PST division.

2) I like the rules

3) League gets my vote

[jigsawhc]

I'm in the PST, but I would be ok with either division.

I'm down for a league for sure (and more tourneys)!

Rules look good right of the bat, but I'll think them over and post again if I think of anything.

I am in. I am EST.

<P mce_keep="true">EST/PST could also be 8:00/10:00. If the CoD4 league were going on right now, I wouldn't be able to participate. I'm starting a project with a further commute, and I have to wake at 5:00 am. So, I can't start a match at 10:00 pm.
<P mce_keep="true">That was a longer bit than I expected. PSTmay also a good division for east coaster that work a little later, have to help thier children with homework, etc.

<P mce_keep="true">If you have an EST nOOb team, I may be interested (or maybe get on a team with some pros). Although I've been around AGE for about a year now, have not tried any league play before and my skillz on RSV are still improving [:$] very slowly.

<P mce_keep="true">I'm definitely in for a league. I rarely get to participate in tourneys b/c the weekends are usually a no-go. As far as rules go, I liked the settings from the 1st league where incendiaries were the only explosives allowed and GPS was restricted.But, I'm in no matter what is decided. I'd be in the EST group.

i am definitely down. if there's concern about the PST numbers, i may be able to help. depending on the night, i'll probably havta play later rather than earlier. but, everything sounds good to me so far.

[BoomerBrian]

<P mce_keep="true">I am in on the EST.
<P mce_keep="true">Rules look fine.
<P mce_keep="true">I like the original times proposed. The 2nd time proposed puts Central folks playing at 7:00 in the EST bracket which is too early.

[FlipMasterFlash]

I'd probably be in. I like the idea of a stream of one nighters too though, maybe build teams as you would for a league and if someone can't make it that week you can fill them in? Just trying to think of a way to include people that may not be able to make it consistantly week to week (or don't want to play every week) but are interested in being involved, guess they could just be subs tool.
