[Suggestion] Warpath Cup 2012

Also on a check of a PM you are correct on any cap grants a +1, however that is a moot point seeing as how the other team received the same free points, effectively nullifying the fact that it was capped.

Technically we did not receive as many free points because, as tthreaz stated above, we did not allow any teams to cap out on us.

Gotcha, however on that same token it looks like you guys didn't cap out at all (or very little).

Agreed, but I don't think a team should be punished for having a better defense than offense. And on the other side of the coin, a team should most definitely not be rewarded for having a bad defense and allowing a team to cap out several times.

Agreed and I understand what you are saying, I goofed my numbers looking at the points not realizing they were added. Having CP2 not add to point totals would of solved that problem altogether, and only benefiting those teams that cap points / cap out.

(I know looking at my PM in my inbox the rules say +1 for every cap point, but something in the back of my head keeps telling me we didnt count that, call me crazy, find the demo! Especially with that 4-3 score, that means that 4 of the 7 points were scored on CP2 caps and 3 on mid change)

Sorry, was typing a reply and I noticed you added some to your message. I'll get back to finding the demo!

Back on topic though I would like to see this happen again with some of the scoring changes discussed, as well as a few class limit changes.

Im game for helping with the event or participating

Another thing that would be nice, would be if it was a true highlander (1 of each class). I know we ended up running more then that due to player interest, but having an extra team or two would help spread the players out.

As with all events (not just at the Ville), understanding the scoring system is critical to success unless you can just dominate every round and not have to worry about it. The 2011 Warpath Cup was neither the first nor the last Ville event where teams have been incentivized to get points in ways other than straight up wins.

If we do this again I'd prefer to just see Ws and Ls, and break ties with whoever owns the middle point when time runs out, but I am the kind of person that likes simplicity in my systems.

I also would like to see the true highlander actually happen, if I had my druthers.

I'd also much prefer to have more teams and do 9v9 rather than 11v11 with 4 teams. I understand that it's more work to organize something for more teams, but a big part of the reason I played in the Warpath cup was for the highlander mode organization. (I became a TV8 regular in preparation and afterwards)

I found my demos and watched both rounds of the PB v HB match and we did indeed receive points for an initial cap on CP2. Without those points, the final score of the match would've been 2-1. Like you mentioned above, not giving out points for an initial cap on CP2 would solve the problem and ensure that every point was earned.

I think having the matches be 9v9 highlander is a good idea. I didn't mention it in my initial post though because according to the official rules for these things the events, other than the Ville cup, are supposed to be kept short. I'm not sure if adding two more teams and a third weekend would be allowed and that may be why it wasn't done last year.

[Checkm8]

Think of player availability in this. The reason we had less teams with more people is because of scheduling conflicts. Last year, I remember my team (giblets, represent ) playing down a player or two even with larger sized teams.

Mmmm... true highlander. Good stuff.
