Introducing A New Type of League...
Commissioner: parCAT
In light of PSL, this will be in the same time slot: WEDNESDAYS @ 10pm EST
GET EXCITED!!
EDIT!!: Deadline for Sign Ups: SUNDAY MARCH 6, 2011
This is planned to be right after TBML 11 and right before PSL 19.
Purpose
To unite the scrum players who enjoy Indy Scrum. This is a bit different than Team Scrum because if players use team strategies, they are penalized. Instead of the normal 10 weeks of games and then 2 weeks of finals and championships, this is only 8 weeks of games and then the top 4 scoring players will verse each other in a "Top 4 Duel." Depending on the number of players (15-20), there will be 3-4 "groups" with 5 players in each. There will be a Judge in each server--they ensure that everyone is following the basic Indy Scrum rules but also the newly created League & Judge Rules.
The Basics
Players' names are scrambled and put in a different group each week so that players will face different opponents each week. These groups determine what server the players will battle in (Group A, B, C, D). There will be 3-4 servers each week with a maximum of 6 people (5 players and 1 judge) in them. In terms of rules, all Indy rules apply. The point system is simple:
1st place--5points
2nd place--3points
3rd place--2 points
4th place--1 point
5th place--0 points
There is a 2 point gap in between 1st and 2nd place to add intensity to the competition--an incentive to win. Because many players like a mix of maps, there will be brand new maps--smaller for our specific gameplay--with arrows and such.
Hosters:
Phobik (3 servers)
Ice Mom (1 backup)
Players (13):
parCAT
TrouserChili
Reagent X
Ice Mom
ZanteWarrior
Weasel
Stiffler
Matt

Sounds fun. In.
I have doubts about the success though. All these original tankers are biased towards TS.
Everytime you find a good game of indy it's only a matter of time before someone pipes up, "hey let's play ts"....and bleh, no more indy.

Re: Indy Scrum League 2011: Interest & Signup Thread!!
Although I very much agree with you, trouser, this league is purely indy. The best thing about it is that players can enjoy 8 weeks of indy gameplay and then head right into PSL. It's a great "warmup," if you will. Plus, it's a new thing--we're trying it out--can't know until ya try.TrouserChili wrote:Everytime you find a good game of indy it's only a matter of time before someone pipes up, "hey let's play ts"....and bleh, no more indy.
As far as planning, I think this will be a success. This boat is gonna float.
Also, ya'll didn't mention a day of the week or time...
