Strych Posted April 28, 2013 Author Share Posted April 28, 2013 Hey guys Apologies to everyone that made a challonge account, but we have changed the registration format. The new format is as follows: [u][size=5][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Registration:[/font][/color][/size][/u] [size=5][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][color=#B22222]Registration will be done with random generation. [/color][/font][/size] [size=5][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][color=#B22222]Please post in this thread with your IGN from the 2nd of May 6pm EST (based on forum time).[/color][/font][/size] [color=#B22222][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=5]All unique registrations in the 15 minutes following registration opening will be randomized to form the participants and reserves lists.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#B22222][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=5]After the 15 minute period registrations will be closed and the lists will be generated.[/size][/font][/color] [font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]We're hoping that this registration method will be fairer on those with slower computers and/or connections. It should also solve the issue of multiple signups for the one IGN, as all unique registrations during the time period are counted.[/font] Niklebust, CPerseus1 and xLuKeYx 3 Link to comment
ThinkNice Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Oh great now you can get punished for having a fast computer. Yep very nicelt thought out plan. Especially for the 'bigger' tournaments, I don't care about this one. Pryce 1 Link to comment

ThinkNice Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 It's pretty obvious, I could be the first to register but if there are like 100 sign ups I have a fair chance of not getting in although I am the first to register. Link to comment
Govictory Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 so if I sign up as the first person there is a chance I will be last in reserves? that is interestingly different can't wait to sign up Link to comment

Judging by your logic people should be awarded for having a slow computer? Let's be fair here if your are in time for a 64 man tournament registration and you time your refresh/post right (taking in account the slowness of your PC) you have a good shot at getting in even with a slow PC. >64< Link to comment

In the interest of fairness, everyone must have an equal chance regardless of signup time, otherwise there is no way of compensating for people's slower PC's/internet connections. Link to comment

No computer out there takes 15 freaking minutes to post. Not even freaking a Windows 95 computer. Five minute period? Fine, I can understand it. But FIFTEEN? Jesus, it's like showing up 15 minutes late to work every day and winning the employee of the month award. Winterbrah and KingBowser 2 Link to comment

[/quote] So basically what you are saying is: registration #91 gets in but registration #20 doesn't and gets placed as 10th reserve because of RNG is NOT a ridiculous concept? There is no point on 'discussing' with you further as you haven't even tried to constructively back your opinion up. Please wake up there is no 'fairness' in RNG. Link to comment
Winterbrah Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 If I could make it on my wooden laptop with poverty internet anyone can do it, now I have the same chance as the guy who's gonna bring a lvl 29 poke to the tournament or pack 3 quick claws and get DQ'd instantly.. As if RNG wasn't already a huge factor in tournaments let's also make it also a factor in the signups.. Brilliant KingBowser 1 Link to comment

Demando Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Stychnine i love the registration system, but i think 1 or 2 mins is enough Link to comment
zorth Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 (edited) where is spoink? =( I think he fits perfectly:o Not OP or anything Nvm dont think you can even catch spoink before lvl 25^^ Edited April 28, 2013 by zorth Link to comment
fany Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 strychnine imo if we do something like that for a registration i think we should make the registration date earlier. Like jag sad, it would be extremely ridiculous if we prepare for a team right now and by the 2nd of may we're not gonna be able to play because a lot of people registered. maybe move the time of registration earlier? something like april 30 or 29 would be perfect i think KlauStaR and Plague 2 Link to comment
