a decision about game schedule - olivercamel - 2012-02-21

As someone may already noticed, a while ago in this post I announced the game schedule for all Round 1-3 (i.e. which team vs. which team)
http://btanks.net/forum/showthread.php?tid=3108

I also copy it here
Code:
Group A:
Game_A01: Anal-Elite vs. Team TBBK  (round 1)
Game_A02: BuG vs. Boozers           (round 1)
Game_A03: Anal-Elite vs. Boozers    (round 2)
Game_A04: BuG vs. Team TBBK         (round 2)
Game_A05: Team TBBK vs. Boozers     (round 3)
Game_A06: Anal-Elite vs. BuG        (round 3)

Group B:
Game_B01: BTF vs. KCTZ              (round 1)
Game_B02: DevTeam vs. Heroes        (round 1)
Game_B03: BTF vs. Heroes            (round 2)
Game_B04: DevTeam vs. KCTZ          (round 2)
Game_B05: KCTZ vs. Heroes           (round 3)
Game_B06: BTF vs. DevTeam           (round 3)

Group C:
Game_C01: Sieg-GeiL vs. BeerTanks   (round 1)
Game_C02: OldSchool vs. OldScotch   (round 1)
Game_C03: Sieg-GeiL vs. OldScotch   (round 2)
Game_C04: OldSchool vs. BeerTanks   (round 2)
Game_C05: BeerTanks vs. OldScotch   (round 3)
Game_C06: Sieg-GeiL vs. OldSchool   (round 3)

Group D:
Game_D01: Revoltek vs. BeSh         (round 1)
Game_D02: WH3B vs. Trollforce       (round 1)
Game_D03: Revoltek vs. Trollforce   (round 2)
Game_D04: WH3B vs. BeSh             (round 2)
Game_D05: BeSh vs. Trollforce       (round 3)
Game_D06: Revoltek vs. WH3B         (round 3)


When making the schedule for the 3 rounds, without thinking too much, I did it in this way for all 4 groups:
Round 1: strong team 1 vs. normal team 1; strong team 2 vs. normal team 2
Round 2: strong team 1 vs. normal team 2; strong team 2 vs. normal team 1
Round 3: strong team 1 vs. strong team 2; normal team 1 vs. normal team 2


But after some thinking I noticed a problem for this arrangement. Based on the results of Round 1, most strong team can win a game agains a normal team. (only bug's game was draw).

So if we keep doing this for the Round 2, many strong teams could already recevie 2 wins, and many normal teams 0 win after the Round 2.

In this case, the 3rd round game which strong vs. strong, normal vs. normal will become less fun/exciting. Because no matter how is the result between 2 normal teams, both strong teams will go up anyway to next phase.

Therefore I am thinking to make an important decision => switch round 2 and round 3 games.

It means in Round 2 (strong vs. strong + normal vs. normal), and Round 3 (strong vs. normal + storng vs. normal)

In this case the rank of a group will be even harder to forsee, and all teams have to take care of the 2nd round and the 3rd round more seriously.

I think this would be a right thing to do. And it benifits mostly for the normal teams.

p.s. I don't think this would benifit team bug (the one i am in), because next round if we lose to anal-elite, and if Boozers wins TBBK (just an example), in the last round team bug will have a lot pressure. (we must win tbbk and hope boozers loses to anal-elite).


But still i want to hear opinions from everyone, if there is no strong against we will do this.

This is a very good idea. However this also means that the loser of any of the normal vs normal team matches is basically a garunteed elimination though.

Well, good idea, i agree (as a member of Boozers teamTongue and as a playerSmile) ! The more important is to keep playing for fun !

But if both strong teams win both normal teams are out, so the change is good and make it more interesting
