So no more pre-made teams *sad face*
not exactly what I was saying. Just that people were complaining of bad brackets, and bad seeding.
I am in the CS dept. I’m sure it couldn’t be too hard to program a randomizer. plus it would be good practice for me.
Granted this is something I was going to bring up for discussion at the meeting, might as well get a start on it here.
As far as premade teams goes. I can understand a complaint that omg, I’m going to be teamed with some random person who I don’t know and never played with before.
Well, yea, thats not cool. but did you check the forums? there was a team formation thread of people looking for teammates.
For those who did not find a premade team, they can pick someone else who doesn’t have a teammate. I was partnered with Nalgenie for GoW. I had never spoken with her before, but big deal. I met her, she met me. We know each others name and face. And even though we got beat fairly bad in the first round, I had fun playing and isn’t that what the LAN’s are supposed to be about?
Could randomize those that don’t have teammates.
Brackets could be randomized by a program. I’m willing to write one specifically for us. I’m willing to donate said program to the club. So that it can be used for all tourney’s for the life of the club.
