- 01[22:17] <bonygrunt> hmm, I had a completely different idea that I thought would be cool for a side agdq event, but it actually could work really well online too
- [22:18] <Blechy> what's that
- 01[22:18] <bonygrunt> it wouldn't be serious at all and would be significantly less work so we may not even stream it, but we could let whoever enter and not worry about time constraints
- 01[22:19] <bonygrunt> give like a list of consoles and force entrants to pick 1-2 games to enter into the game pool
- 01[22:19] <bonygrunt> so the entrants decide the game list
- 01[22:19] <bonygrunt> then we just draw a game from the list
- 01[22:19] <bonygrunt> we'd probably need like one moderator making sure the goals are fine, but that's really it
- 01[22:19] <bonygrunt> and if someone drew their own game, we'd just redraw
- [22:20] <Blechy> hmm kind of like a round robin that's well organized up front and then people do it on their own time sorta?
- [22:20] <Blechy> in duos or whatever
- 01[22:20] <bonygrunt> would be way less work, wouldn't have to worry about stream stuff, could do it over a week or something (no time constraints at all)
- 01[22:20] <bonygrunt> pretty much
- 01[22:20] <bonygrunt> we'd host it on challonge or something so people can just race when they're around
- 01[22:21] <bonygrunt> wow this is great
- [22:21] <Blechy> yeah that's pretty cool. like a hybrid between rr and mystery tourn
- 01[22:21] <bonygrunt> it's building itself in my mind as we speak
- 01[22:21] <bonygrunt> haha
- 01[22:21] <bonygrunt> I like this
- 01[22:21] <bonygrunt> alright, #blind op meeting tomorrow
- 01[22:22] <bonygrunt> we need some feedback
- [22:22] <Blechy> haha
- 01[22:22] <bonygrunt> because I think this can work
- [22:22] <Blechy> sounds good, I'll be around
- 01[22:22] <bonygrunt> only concern is making sure goals are alright (because I want to play this time, grr)
- 01[22:22] <bonygrunt> but if we decide a moderator's necessary then I'd just "run" it
- 01[22:23] <bonygrunt> I like how you mentioned the round robin thing, it is pretty similar to that in a way
- 01[22:23] <bonygrunt> I wouldn't have made that connection
- 01[22:24] <bonygrunt> this could be really cool
- [22:25] <Blechy> yeah it's got all the pluses of both the mystery tourn and round robin, the only negatives are 1) it's not specific times (unless it is?) so it wouldn't be as easy for a third party to join, and 2) good goals like you said
- 01[22:25] <bonygrunt> I really like the freedom of racing when you want
- [22:26] <Blechy> yeah I know some oot & sm64 tourns have done that in the past
- 01[22:26] <bonygrunt> when people matched up are both around, then they race and link someone who can moderate the brackets the results
- [22:26] <Blechy> we'd prob have to set a deadline though
- 01[22:26] <bonygrunt> yeah, for sure
- [22:26] <Blechy> we may want to organize seeds based on time zone just to make it easier
- 01[22:26] <bonygrunt> agreed
- 01[22:27] <bonygrunt> maybe 72 hours or something for an entire round to be completed
- 01[22:27] <bonygrunt> if people don't play we'll talk to them and see what's up
- 01[22:27] <bonygrunt> give the person who couldn't race a loss
- 01[22:27] <bonygrunt> (assuming the other person isn't lying but I really doubt that would happen)
- 01[22:28] <bonygrunt> it can take a month if it has to, that's the best part :)
- 01[22:28] <bonygrunt> ahhhhh I love this
- [22:29] <Blechy> would you do it same as last time, and just have people sign up on challonge if interested and cater to as many as possible?
- 01[22:30] <bonygrunt> yeah
- 01[22:30] <bonygrunt> we wouldn't have to worry about a max or min number of entrants really
