I was thinking I am playing to little Yomi lately. I was thinking Yomi had too much EV calculations (lets face it, maths don’t real), to many rounds of best of and too long timers!
And then I thought, what can I do about it? And the answer is pretty gosh darn simple: MAKE IT HAPPEN!
But isn’t Yomi dead? Well, lets throw some money at it. I recently came in the possession of … a job! I am earning money. I could spend a few Washingtons a month on a Paypal Gift card. Maybe even a Jefferson or two. Possibly a Lincoln. Enough contestants could lead to a Hamilton being spent as well.
Free timers are the best. Since I am European, it probably would end up being eu-timezone-friendly, with an aim for having as many US players join as possible.
Currently, I think this would be a timeslot that could work? But nothing is set in stone quite yet.
I have been thinking about how much casharoos I am willing to put on the table, and I am willing to commit 25$ each month for each of the monthly tournaments I will be running this year. It is not “much”, but it is from my own pocket, so I don’t want to just destroy my personal economy either.
So, regarding rules, I have been out of the loop recently, so I would like some feedback on things not thought of in my first thoughts
Rules:
Fast timer
Best of 3
Only a contestant who lost is able to change character between rounds
Double blind pick
Rules enforced
Double KO is WIN for both players (in the case of a 2-2 result, deathmatch with same characters happen, where the first to deal damage wins, if both deal equal amount of damage to eachother, continue playing until someone has dealt more damage than the other player)
No collusion - evidence of collusion will result in a ban in future tournaments
Hands off, unless both players wants to play with them on.
Results will be logged and used for seeding in future tournaments.
I mostly got this from the Topanda rules i found in older forum. What is controversial about this? The way I understand collusion is that 2 or more players try to influence the integrity of the tournament by meta-gaming the tournament tree in some way too ensure that they, or someone else gets part of the prize pot without actually placing high enogh to warrant prize money.
So, if my understanding of it is wrong, please let me know. This is the part where you are able to influence how the rules are being done.
So, what does collusion mean? And why should it not be banned / why should it be encouraged?
