First ever NSW crew league: rules, organisation and discussion

[isthattim?]

The all new NSW crew League
now with big prizes and more awesomeness


The upcoming crew league will begin its preliminary season at Teddys March tournament. It will consist of a system of crew battles where each crew will face every other crew 1-2 times per tournament (time is the major factor here). Each crew will consist of any four players that can make it to all league monthlies and the finals if applicable.

Rules

The crew battles will take place using the ruleset previously used at don’t come late last year. A single battle will consist of both a melee and brawl round. 2 points will be awarded for a win in either round with extra points awarded per stock remaining on the winning crew. A 2 point bonus will be awarded for winning both rounds.

Scoring Example

Crew A defeats Crew B in the initial brawl round by 3 stock. They receive 2points for a round victory plus (4/3*3)= 4 bonus points. In the melee round Crew A defeats crew B by 5 stocks (crew B is obviously **** at life) they will receive 2 points for the round victory +2 bonus points for a 2-0 victory + 5*1=5 bonus points.
From this match Crew A will receive 15 points.

Ladder

The ladder will be purely points based and will incorporate points gained from both melee and brawl rounds.
The results from both rounds will be recorded into separate melee and brawl ladders to determine bonus points and prizes at the end of the season for the top melee and brawl crews

ALL CREWS WILL PLAY AN EQUAL NUMBER OF MATCHES THROUGHOUT THE SEASON IN ORDER TO NOT SKEW THE LADDER TOWARDS CREWS THAT HAVE HAD MORE MATCHES.

The exception is for crews that are absent, all other crews will receive 6 points if this occurs.

Attendance/substituitions
1 substitute is allowed for 2 of the 3 monthlies if a crew member cannot make it to the monthly.
Substitutes must not be part of another crew and the following players are banned as substitutes: CAO, Cobalt, Juggy. They're just too good to be fair. This list may be enlarged by popular demand.
Payment of substitutes is permitted.
Substitutions are not allowed in the finals and each crew member must have played in at least 2 of the monthlies to be eligible to play in the finals

Cost
The current pricing set up for registration is as follows:
$40 per crew per monthly ($10 per person)
No cost for the finals if you make it.
Total cost for season: $120 per crew ($30 each) (CHEAP!!)

Prize pool
The prize pool for the preliminary season will total the entire registration fees for all crews + $300
This will be split as follows: the third placed crew will receive $120 and a pat on the back
The rest of the cash will be split by first and second place in a 2:1 ratio


This league will only go ahead if 6 or more crews register in the LFC/LFM thread by the end of February.
What are you waiting for?

bonus points will be awarded for top melee and brawl crews at the end of each round

(4/3*3)= 4 bonus points

5*1=5 bonus points

Er, is the equation for bonus points by stock different between games or something? >_>

Otherwise, lookin' good. :3

 

[tedeth]

It has to be. You only have 3 stocks in brawl whereas in melee you have 4. That way both games are given an equal weighting.

 

[EverAlert]

LOL I forgot about that. ;_;

*needs to get into Melee more*

 

[Toby.]

This looks very interesting.

 

[I LAG]

hmm i need a crew preferably a crew with melee players because i am a brawl player n it would be a good balance
i use mk if u want a winner in ur crew
n i use wolf if u dont like high tier in ur crew

TEDETH WHY DID U TELL THEM I AM SCAR!!!

 

[tedeth]

I LAG is scar ppl look out.

 

[isthattim?]

I LAG is scar ppl look out.

Did you work that out from his message, or did you already know?

I LAG: **** like this goes in the other thread kthx

Possible rule: 1 MK and/or 1 Snake per crew (Cos you can't CP we might need some restriction of players)

Need feeeedback

 

[S.D]

That was rules at DC.

1 MK and 1 Snake max per crew.

hmm i need a crew preferably a crew with melee players because i am a brawl player n it would be a good balance
i use mk if u want a winner in ur crew
n i use wolf if u dont like high tier in ur crew

You're not a winner.

EDIT: I doubt Juggie will be subbing for anyone on account of the fact that he's currently completing a year of complusory military service.

 

[isthattim?]

I'll MM you tim.

sure, i'm up for it

 

[I LAG]

WHAT ONLY 1 MK PER CREW!!!
i was looking for 3 other mks to be in my crew. i think we need to change it to 2 mks or 2 top tier characters so if u have 2 mks u cant have any snakes

 

[S.D]

You'd still lose.

Good luck finding 3 other MK mains/players/3 people who want to crew with you anyway.

Oh so you're implying that your Meta Knight is absolutely horrendous.

 

[I LAG]

Anything for you Tak <3

I should probably stop spamming this thread/start making a useful contribution. Stage discussion? Or settling with the DC crew stage list?

 

[Dekar289]

Always happy to help out Tim.

I'm sure it will be close.

SO ANYWAYS

Stage list?

Nuetrals or crazy all legal stages on random select rule? It certainly adds another dynamic.

 

[Afropony]

Hey S.D could you post your tournament results in my tournament results thread?
It'll make all the Australian Pits look awesome

same for comboturtle and Jei if you read this as well.

my results are fair noob.

 

[Afropony]

Lol it doesn't matter there are a few people who have posted ones where they come pretty much last. O yeh sorry to say but doubles aren't included, or Wifi tours.

I've only come 13th and 9th in my two tournaments I've attended but I still added them

 

[isthattim?]

Would it be feasible for enough Crews to travel to Maitland to hold a league monthly there? (If Zero can organise a suitable venue)

 

[SummonerAU]

I think it would be :D

 

[ComboTurtle]

i think all my results are like 6th and 5th in everything for brawl

 

[Pirate.]

How exactly does player order and the characters they use work? If there's a thread explaining this already might someone please point me to it .

 

[S.D]

Essentially or at least ideally, your characters are all selected prior to the crew battle. First players are chose by teams/team captains in a double blind situation. From there you can counterpick with whoever you want from your crew.

 

[luke_atyeo]

and if you wanna win, make sd your team captain, so pro

 

[F_T_S]

can we ban S.D?

he is way to good

 

[tkls]

shadow moses must be banned as it does not wprk in crews. no way to sd

 

[unreon]

Can't you just break the sides of the stage, walk out, and wait for the walls to reform?

Or does that not happen on Shadow Moses? I don't even have Brawl anymore; I lost it =(

 

[S.D]

shadow moses must be banned as it does not wprk in crews. no way to sd

What are you referring to here?

@ unreon/tkls: Yes you can just break the walls down, walk out and wait for them to reform. I had to do this in interstate crews at DC after both our stage cancels were used and we ended up on Moses. It's actually kind of comical. Ideally the person who needs to lose their stock should break the walls, as I'm not really sure whether the other person will get diminishing returns on their moves if they hit walls - anyone want to shed some light on this one?

I don't have a problem with it. It's not a 'must ban' as tickles suggests.

 

[tkls]

breaking the walls stales moves, does it not? it is a dumb idea to tell people to stale thier moves and then waitfor reform. does dying refresh moves? if so, its probably alright, but honestly, "break walls and wait to reform" seems like a messy way to have a level in. i think it'd be a better idea to ban the level, but whatever

 

[Zaidou]

Ban It. It's Messy And Interrupts Game Flow Horrendously. But Can't Some Characters Reach The Top W/ Their Recoveries?

 

[luke_atyeo]

some can reach the top but wont die unless they are hit while they are up their (pits arrows are good for this)
dying does indeed refresh moves so tkls point is moot.
I am in favor of not banning it, but I have a large bias since its pretty much snakes best stage.

 

[S.D]

Pfft of course dying refreshes your moves. That's why I said the other person shouldn't help. It takes like a minute and there's no time limit in crews therefore no problem. Plus you can just stage cancel it anyways XD.

 

[Zaidou]

The Whole Thing Simply Seems Messy And Unprofessional. That's All. But This Is Hardly A Point Of Debate.
