The 2nd Demigod Community Tournament - Decision Making Panel Discussions

from Stardock Forums

The purpose of this thread is to contain discussions made by the decision making panel pertaining to the 2nd Demigod Community Tournament.  Per the rules and registration thread http://forums.impulsedriven.com/396231, here are some more details about the panel.

Decision Making Panel

This tournament will be governed by a decision making panel consisting of pacov, McShane, hedgie with jongalt as an alternate.  The panel's purpose is as follows:

  • Review any scheduling issues and making the final decisions with regards to disqualification. 
  • Reviewing replays as required (crashes and desyncs)
  • Resolving any disputes that arise

The panel's decision on all matters will be the final word for this tournament. And last, the members of the decision making panel will not make any decisions on the games they are playing in.  We didn't have a panel in place for the first tournament and that was a mistake.

So, if you have a game that requires reviewing, etc, please post here.

Current discussion:  What team combinations will be allowed in the final 4?  Discussion over.

quick summary

team 1 v team 4, team 2 v team 3

All games are best 2 out of 3 elimination. So, we only have a semi-finals and finals round now.

Whatever team is on light in game 1 will choose from the list of acceptable team combos.

Whatever team is on light in game 2 (teams will rotate sides) will choose a different option from the list of acceptable team combos.

If there is a game 3, the remaining dg combo must be used.

Here are the combos:

QoT, erebus, UB
Rook-Reg-Erebus
ub tb erebus

So, we'll just make this quite official, then - and I think its a simple compromise that should keep all parties quite happy.

Teams in the final 4 portion of our tournament will have the option of 1) sticking with the original character selection rules or 2) going with the mirror match selection.  Before teams start their games, they will briefly discuss the option they want to go with.  If the teams do not agree, then they will stick the original demigod selection rules as listed in the rules and registration thread; however, once the teams have agreed on the character selection rules, they will stick with those rules for that match (eg either you stick with the old rules for the best 2 out of 3 or you stick with the mirror match rules for the best 2 out of 3).  These rules apply for both the semi-finals and the finals. 

That should hopefully take care of it. 

The semi finals MUST be completed by Tuesday at midnight (or at least be in progress at that point).  If you make it to the finals, you will be expected to play in the finals no later than Thursday at midnight.  If the games have not taken place by that point, disqualifications will occur.  Disqualifications will be determined based on teams making a logical effort to get their games in.  Hoping you get your game in and not being willing to schedule will result in a disqualification if you do not meet those deadlines.  The easiest way to avoid that is to simply speak with your team and make a post in the scheduling thread based on your availability.  I'd hope to see a little more effort than "we hope everyone is on when we are" because if that is all the effort that is put into it, you will likely be disqualified.  Avoid that by making an effort. 

edit - and just another reminder, all teams MUST use the latest version of uberfix 1.03 for the semi-finals and finals - linky:  http://uberfix.googlecode.com/files/Uberfix%201.03.exe

Quoting Zen_God, reply 247

Lol I'm not threatening you, I'm just letting you know that what would happen if you don't play has already been decided. Orcun told everyone 3 weeks ago when he was leaving so there was plenty of time to come up with alternates and get playing. This didn't just pop up out of nowhere

"i will probably be leaving US for some backpacking during Christmas break around 20th of December for about 1-2 months"

That was Orcun on November 22nd did we agree back then to this due date? NO! Also looking for an alternate back then was not an issue because we were actually trying several times to find a common date. And i'm tired of repeating myself, that those did not work out because both pacov's team and my team could not find one date together!

Yes we did actually. "

Thanks for the heads up, Or-chin. 

So, the final goal will be to have the tournament completely over by Dec 20.  I think that should be quite do-able."

That was Pacov the day after and of course I agreed, so that's 2/3 decision panel.  Also we've been talking about it in this thread consistently since then.  Mith hasn't played since November 5th so clearly he doesn't care and your team is the issue here.  Yea you're going to have to scramble a bit now to meet the deadline but so did Jona.  If you didn't see this coming than I'm just really at a loss for words.

I have been reading all of this, btw, just not talking because since I'm inactive I have less input. Plus, usually by the time I do read it everything has been decided (:

Another thing to keep in mind, zen.  Even if we played previously, we'd still need to play now in the finals.  That we didn't play earlier is somewhat moot now and really isn't being held against you in any way.

There you go, Hedgie wanted this thing done by Christmas too.  No one wants it to go into the New Year Zen.
