Clan tournament ideas

[Cheva]

Hello,

As we now have a clan system we can start to think of some cool tournament ideas. I will outline my ideas below then hopefully people will come in with other valid ideas. I am still unsure of some details and I may need to stay neutral myself in order to host this.

The idea would be a Clan fight with levels. Each clan could submit members into each level. Then each level would have 4 rounds with a winner / loser bracket. (matches would be a mix of 2v2, 3v3 and 1v1)

Level A - 1900+ (a player cannot join more than 1 level)
Level B - 1700 to 1900
Level C - 1400 to 1700

The goal here would be that many people could participate and win their division. In addition in the end the winning clan may be determined from every level of play meaning that all the matches are important. (incentive to train others etc)There could be achievements at all levels as well such as most wins or best snipes.

This is obviously a lot of work but it could be fun. The real challenge would be playing games. All maps would need to be declared a head of time. Next a round would be declared on Monday which you would have all week to practice while the actually games must be played on either Friday,Saturday or Sunday of that week.

If people have interesting ideas or tips on how we can get games played more efficiently please make suggestions.

That sounds good, how would it work - Kind of like a clan gets so many points for winning each round? And the further you go the more points you get, and then and the end you have a total tally? The only issue I could see if a clan has say 20 members instantly it would be at an unfair advantage over one with say 5. IMO anyway

I like the idea of a clan tournament/war since it would be the only real motivation for me to join a clan- so i hope we can follow through with this. I would say your current idea seems good as long as the top 10 players are evenly spread out. Perhaps a clan league in the future if a normal tournament is successful.

I can help you organize anything, if and when, this tournament occurs.

Though this idea is okay, I really like to see 4v4 Clan League (Seton's Clutch would be the map of choice for first season, then we would think of changing one).
There would be normal playoffs. Each clan would be able to play one match with one clan in first playoffs part (3 weeks). Then there would second part of playoffs (2 weeks). In the end, we would put everything to table. After that best 8/16 clans would be chosen for quaterfinals/semifinals etc.

Btw. disallowing people to join some tournament because of rating is nonsense.

First of all I want to implement a clan description in the clan app
(https://github.com/IDragonfire/faf.webapp/issues/44)
Clan Leader can maybe use that to show there skill level (e.g. We have 2 Player Division A, 4 Player Division B).
Maybe the clan logos are like the player avatars of faf ... you can only win them

Emm, defenitely no. I hope you were joking.

I think we should make one tournament that consists of every player in a clan fighting every player on their team and the team with the most points wins. Or we could do it in a similar way that WCS works and its a best of 5 or 7 and send out each player 1 at a time. I know this would be unbalanced between low and high average rank teams but could still work.

There is a clan war format for supcom that was working great some years ago.

- 2 BO3 1v1.
- 2 BO1 2v2.
- 1 BO1 3v3.

The two 1v1 were played at the same time.
The two 2v2 too.

And the 1v1 players can't play the 2v2 but everyone can play in the 3v3.

Each clan was fighting a different clan each week, until every clan has fight every other clan.

Let's add one 4v4 since Seton is very popular and such clan war would be very competitive.

Btw. 1v1 (or even 2v2) doesn't seem very clan match.

Lol, dont know about others but im 100% sure i wont participate in any clan war where i have to play 4v4 setons
