The new playoff system is here2006-05-01 13:12 | OhYeah


Hello fellow quakers!

It is time to announce news about the playoff system. But first, I want to say big thanks to clans that have been active, played all their matches on time and not made a fuss about certain decisions we took this season (new and forces maps etc). You guys help keep the Q2 scene alive and (hopefully) make us a better league then some others which we don't mention by name. =)

The group stage must end by 21st of May. PLEASE PLAY YOUR MATCHES BEFORE THAT DATE. We don't want to kill the league and go too far into the summer. So play ALL of your group games that are left, because they WILL affect your position in the playoffs. You have 3 weeks left, that is enough to play the matches. Don't ruin this for yourself and others now, when it's about to get real interesting.

There will be 3 "divisions" advancing to playoffs. Two top clans in a group will advance to 1st "division" - 8 clans total - and they will fight for places 1-8 in the final table. Clans which are 3rd and 4th in the group will advance to 2nd "division" and they fill fight for places 9-16. 5th and 6th place in the group will go to 3rd division and fight for places 17-24. Rest of the clans will be entered to the final table by their group stage score. If you have a attention deficit disorder, here's the rundown of what I've just said:

** SIX best clans of every group will advance to playoffs, clans 1-2, clans 3-4 and clans 5-6. **

This is a big change. No more "winner of 3rd divison". In the end, there will be ONE division like in the group stage, one big final table of clans based on their performance in the group stage and playoffs.

#1 Clan Anal Destroyers
#2 Clan Whooptidoo
#3 Clan N00bs from Hell
...
#15 Lmw
#16 ttnm
#17 nWo

And so on. With this new system you can really see how you match against other clans, both top clans and average clans. So even if you didn't do very well in the group stage - let's say you were 6th in your group - you still have the chance to up your position in the final table considerably. In the playoffs, you can finish either as clan #17 or clan #24. And you get to fight other clans in other groups that are on the same skill level as you.

You will have to play 3 games in playoffs (let's take 1st "division" as an example), round 1 which will determine if you play for places 1-4 or 5-8, round 2 which will determine if you play for places 1-2, 3-4 etc and round 3 which will be the final match deciding your place in the table.

The playoffs will begin 25th of May. You will have a few days only to get ready for the playoffs, so use the time wisely. Get your squad ready, practice like hell. All the "divisions" will be played simultaneously. Round 3 will be played so that the game for the highest place will be last (battle for the 3rd place before the final).

ALL MATCHES in the first two "divisions" must have admin(s) present. The league will end 8th of June which means you guys have exactly two weeks to play your 3 playoff matches. The pressure will be quite hard both on the players and admins, but I think we can make it. Good luck to you all and if you have any questions about the playoffs, please use the commenting feature to ask.

And also, seb is working on a little neat surprise for everyone, so stay tuned for that too. Some nice times ahead, hopefully. =)

Nazz, in what way can you implement a playoff system from a league with 3 divisions / 2 groups to a league with only 1 division but 4 groups?

As u know the games must be played before 21st of may. If u have any problems with scheduing games, msg me in irc, or conatct me by mail, in icq or in msn. I am avidable almost all the day.

If games arent scheduled, we will problaby force them.

If people would play their group games faster, maybe we could start a bit earlier with the playoffs. Summer will be the ultimate killer I fear. But why do you say fighting for 10th place isn't worth something? Even Lenin said that important is not whether you win or lose, it's that you participate and have fun (I added the having fun part).

This playoffs system have it's advantages, but i'm not sure is this really that good?

At least i don't want to play for 10th place or so. I believe that there will be lack of motivation to play those lower rank games and summer doesn't really help to motivate ppl to play quake2.

Keep it simple...

And yes this or look alike playoffs system was announced before the league or at least pretty early.

This system was known long long time ago, Thaigo said it on eq2l channel like 1 month ago and im 100% sure i read it even befor this league started somewhhere on this page but i guess someone delited that since he wasnt sure.

Not even me can be this synical to know what playoff system we should have befor its "posted"

And to the 3c guys: i dont understand u, do u mean that i clan that played shit during the groupstage should be able to fight for the win in the playoff? thats not logical at all.

I have nothing bad to say about that system, it's the same for all BUT agreed with dead that everyone should have known this from day 1. Proper format when starting a league: 1.finalize the rules. 2.open signups. This way there is no whine, you signup you agree on the setup.

Anyway GL to each and every clan.

d34d, anyone who doesn't take group games seriously should not be able to play for high places in the final table.

2006-05-02 11:22 
the system may work nice, we'll see. but you should have told about it in the beginning, so the clans could fight for that 1st or 2nd division.. that would have made the league more active, imho.
OhYeah

Feeble, your first comment was "it's crap". That was it. That's not critisism, that's not expressing your opinion.

oh , hopefully there is even one person who sees that I am only expressing my opinion . but am very curious why a negative comment on the system is treated as a whine ? tell me pls . Can't I have different opinion ? And if I have one, do I have to read all those silly texts made by some guys who doesn't understand written text and any different point of view ? Think about it and stop behaving like morons .

You want to express your opinions? Go ahead. We all welcome CONSTRUCTIVE critisism. But you guys just toss out "omg this sux" and "u so gay" oneliners all the time, almost never explaining why you think we should burn in hell. We're not mindreaders over here now are we?

And Tabo, sorry, your post makes no sense to me. What are yoy trying to say exactly?

And btw feeble, you still have 3 matches ahead of you. If you win them all, you have a pretty good chance to get into the 1st playoffs. So what the hell are you whining about?
OhYeah
avatar
2006-05-02 05:18 
Feeble:

sorry, but when you don't perform good in your group, you don't have the possibility to fight for the 1st place. If we take 3-4 clans from every group and send them all to fight for the first place we'll have a mess.

Just perform better in the next season. We are not going to change otherwise perfect system because you feel bad you cannot be the best.

Hope you can understand that.

2006-05-02 04:55 
well , in some point you are right OhYeah , but I really do not accept that only 2 clans FROM 10 CLAN GROUP (!) can have chance to fight for the highest place . I am not interested in playing in some 2nd or 3rd play-off division coz it is pointless for me. We either play for everything or simply nothing , those DEVELOPED (in strange way) play-offs are just a waste of time . Who cares about being at place from 9 to 24

2006-05-02 03:43 
Feeble, I understand your feelings, you clan hasn't done very good this season and that's why you're upset. But clan who is 4th in the group should not be able to fight to win the league. The new system as fair as it can get.
feeble.

2006-05-02 03:16 
wision mind your own business and don't try to be his mom . OhYeah , I would prefer 4 top clans from each group advancing to play-offs , then we would have 16 clans and winners/loosers bracket . it's only my opinion , those playoffs for places 9-16 etc. seem very weird and without much excitement
