Call of Duty 4 Comp Options

[fletchdawg]

Hey, ive been to the last two respawns and i have noticed that the comp could be run alot better my suggestions are

Firstly before i list a few things, at v13 we played 4 matches including grand final and semi and it took 10 hours, if it is run the way i have suggested below there should be 10-15 minutes break in between the group stage matches and 30 minute break between finishing group stages and 30-45 minutes break after the semi for the grand final. This time @ v14 i can already tell you theres gunna be more known players etc since its school holidays and there will be nearl 20 teams just like v12.

.Having Group stages
.divide the teams into two groups
.play out all 24 rounds
.the top 2 teams from each group go to the semi final
.the group stages are scored by wins/loses/ and rounds for/against
.team 1 from group 1 vs's team 2 from group 2, team 1 from group 2 vs's team 2 from group 1
.then semi final is best out of 3 maps with strike being the default 3rd map, both teams knife on strike firstly, the victor of the knife round chooses ether to play there map or the other teams, at the time if it is your map to pick the opposing team chooses the side they start on.
.the same rule apply's for the grand final

ive won this event twice in a row and i feel for the teams who dont get to play enough whens its single elimination and this will give every one more of a go.

I hope this will give every one a fair go and run the comp more professionally like a single game comp

cheers

Theres nothing wrong with single elimination... It always comes down to the best team winning. If you lose to 1 team, you don't earn the right to play the next. It's simple.

That wasn't his complaint at all. Did you even read his post?

You've got to remember, yourself and a few other teams may be coming just for the CoD4 competition, but there are also quite a few other teams who come for the whole LAN, for CoD 4 and CSS, or a mix of the above. A lot of the casual teams don't want to sit around for 4 hours playing through a round robin of matches. That's not to say your point is invalid or anything, just pointing out there's less serious players too

I think he cared more about the non-serious players being able to play more than one round instead of getting knocked out early. Unfortunately, roundrobin or the structure suggested (the number of matches amounts to about half that of a roundrobin, but it's still too many) simply means far too many matches being played. HAWX players complained that the competition just kept going for far too long (7 rounds + tiebreaker), and we only had 8 teams for that. A 20-round competition is out of the question for this reason.
