sergentzimm Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 Howdy I have updated my thoughts on running a Club championship. I hope this is a more condensed and easy to figure out version. I am not sure if we were meeting this month so I figured I would put this out there. On dates, I would like to start this by the end of February. Starting with a TLDR: Play one game every two weeks. Game types randomly determined at start of Season. Single Elimination playoffs at the end. Winner claims title to Club Champion Club Championship The intent of the Club Championship is to crown a champion of gaming for the year. This event will encompass the majority of the types of games we play as a club. A short season followed by a tournament. Each round players meet and play a game in the Category of the round. The club championship will run for 3 months, typically in the spring. Two months for the regular season. The playoffs will take roughly a month, depending on participation. Season Starting in Round 1, players will be randomly paired. Round 2 and beyond will be based on standings, with players matched with similar winning rates. Each round will have a game type theme. The game types will be randomly determined at the start of the season. Players will need to determine a game to play in the category for the round. The game categories used for the Rounds are as follows: (See Appendix A for games and category suggestions): Long board games (4+ hours) Standard board games (1-3 hours) Short Filler card /board games (less than an hour) Card/ Deck-building games Miniature skirmish games (20 models or less generally) Miniature Battle games The players are tasked with determining the exact game, within the category, to play for that round. Games are not required to be on the game list in Appendix A, it is merely a guide to the categories. If you have a question about a game, contact the organizer. If no consensus can be reached, the Organizer lead will determine the game by whatever method they deem fit, coin toss, battle royale, etc. Multiplayer games are allowed to be played in any round if agreed on by each participant. In such case, the winner will be the player who scored the most points in such game between the two participants, even if they do not win the overall game. This may be murky for each game, contact the Organizer with questions before the round is played if possible. Players will be tasked with playing at least one game in the category per round. Players are allowed to play more games if they wish, ie play best ⅔ or ⅗. If the players cannot agree, then only one game is played. Each Round will take 2 weeks to complete. The season will consist of 4 rounds, taking roughly 2 months to complete. Each player is expected to be able to commit to at least one game session in each 2 week period. Playoffs The playoffs will determine the club champion. The number of players in the playoff will be determined by the overall number of participants. Typically this will be ½ or ¼ of the participants based on size. For example a 16 person season would aim for an 8 team playoff. A 32 person season would aim for 16 players as well. 16 players would be a single elimination round, with rounds lasting only 1 week. The aim would be to have the playoffs last roughly one month. Players who cannot play during the playoff week will need to get the approval of the tournament organizer or forfeit that week. Games will be determined at the start of the playoffs by all participants in the league. The playoffs will use specific games, though each round will give opponents two choices to play. Each option will be from a different category than the other in the round. Some options may duplicate round to round. For Example: Round 1 Pick Warhammer 40k or Blood bowl Round 2 Pick Twilight Imperium or Munchkin Each tournament round needs to be witnessed by two individuals outside the game that belong to the club, though do not have to participate in the league. Should any questions arise about the legitimacy of the round, these individuals will help to give a witness account. TLDR: Play one game every two weeks. Game types randomly determined at start of Season. Single Elimination playoffs at the end. Winner claims title to Club Champion Appendix A Game Categories and sample games (Note: Some categories you may observe that are missing such as the RPG, modelling and painting. These are too difficult and subjective to determine a ‘winner.’ Such things should have their own event to determine) Long board games (4+ hours) (Can be played with multiple players, if one of the tournament players is not the winner, go by points scored) Twilight Imperium Decent Star Wars Imperial Assault Medium board games (1-3 hours) (Can be played with multiple players, if one of the tournament players is not the winner, go by points scored) Puerto Rico Agricola Kill Dr. Lucky Hive Short or Filler board/ card games (less than an hour) Fluxx Love Letter Coup Tsoro Get Bit Card/ Deck-building games Munchkin Dominion Star Realms Dominion Netrunner Cocaine Cowboys Miniature skirmish games (20 models or less) -Infinity -Mordheim -Blood Bowl -X-wing Miniature Battle games (Larger battles of over 20 models a side) -Warhammer 40k -Kings of War -Battlefleet Gothic -Warmachine / Hordes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smashthedean Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 When is Sherbet's Warlands campaign going again? I think maybe a week after the conclusion of that would be a good start time for this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
