2v2 Round Robin Tournament

Post by abbadan »

In order to gauge who the best 2v2 players are it might be useful to make some kind of a 2v2 round robin tournament, so that each player pairs at least once with every other player. I have no idea how this could be made to work, but there are people who are a lot smarter than me in this group and I bet it could be done.
Thoughts?

I think it could either work or it could either not work.

Insight Studios plans on hosting a round robin or Swiss tournament at some point.

indeed, Sir cullun has confirmed OP's thesis " there are people who are a lot smarter than me in this group", after a solid analysis of the situation he has covered 100% of the possible outcomes. very gud sir callen +1, where is the double like button.

eh if you expect us to be productive, you came to the wrong community :P

site gave you a decent reply tho, they are doing a lot of tournament stuff around here besides the official esoc tournaments, also you can always organize one yourself if you want one and post it here :P

Yep! It's mostly a staffing thing really. I don't have the manpower to run simultaneous tournaments in addition to Fight Night. And once the New Years Invitational is over we will be in the middle of the 2v2 Invitational and soonish after the seasonal tournament. I'd rather focus the Studio Resources on Fight Night for the time being, though a round robin tournaments is something I very much want to do.

Players would not like a tournament like this as they would want to chose their teammate, and prob have grudges with some players so they wouldn't want to team with them. With that said putting a cash prize can change that. Most players would also not want to sign up for a tournament that didnt have hunts, but put a cash prize and some players will sign up for it. (not all top players tho)

Wouldn't it be more like every team facing each other? I think it'd be better than having individuals switching allies and enemies constantly :hmm:
