I’ll take it as a given that you are here because you want to play more Yomi. But there’s no one hanging out in Quick Match (because there’s no one hanging out in Quick Match), and IYL just kicked off, so there won’t be any more tournaments for 4 months, so what’s a body to do?
Forum Quick Match
Goals:
Be able to sign up for ongoing weekly matches, without committing to any particular period of games.
Get matched with other players of similar ability.
Play against new and interesting opponents.
Proudly display your forum rank!
Mechanics:
These will be subject to change as we figure out how everything works best, but to start:
Games will be Best of 5 (first to 3 wins)
Standard counterpick from the full cast
Matches will be played on a weekly basis.
Any match where the players can’t find a common schedule will be no-fault, and no one will gain or lose ranking.
Any match with a no-show will be forfeited by the player who didn’t show.
Match pairings will be generated by the organizer
As of this writing, the following will be considered in order when pairing
Number of consective wins
Current league
Preferred play times
Current rankings will be reported to the thread at the end of every week.
I’ll be adding more description of the exact details of the matching algorithm, but for the moment, feel free to sign up. I’ll start sending out match invites when we have some level of critical mass, hopefully starting within the next couple of weeks.
My inclination would be to track them, since they are played under conditions that are not-unlike other tournaments (Bo5, full cast counterpick, assigned opponent).
