Whats next for FML?

[FML|WorpeX]

Decide whats next for FML! We have plenty of options to choose from, so pick carefully! Read below for information on what each option is:

Season 11 (Swiss)

This would be playing the next season in the same format we used for Season 10. While we will do slight modifications to make things a bit more fair and prevent as many ties from happening as possible, for the most part, the format will remain unchanged.

Swiss means that the matches are decided based upon skill. You can only play a person once. Max 32 players per season.

Season 11 (Classic)

This would be playing the next season in FML original format. This is what was used for season 1-8. This would entail: A 16 player, 2 round qualifier and a 16 player season. 8 players Auto-qualify from the previous season. Every player matches each other once. Matches are completely random.

King of FFA 2

KoFFA is a grueling tournament where players are put in many different aspects of FFA including 12 player, 8 player and 4 player. The tournament winner is the one who is able to master all of these battlefields! Matches are based solely upon availability and uses pre-set times during the week (no scheduling).

FML Open

A FML Open is a tournament consisting of up to 8 rounds of play with an unlimited number of players. Matches are based solely upon availability and uses pre-set times during the week (no scheduling).

Have a different idea? Please share it by posting it in this thread! Perhaps your idea could be in the next FML edition!

I pressed classic at first although I just read the descripton, so only 16 players will be doing qualifers + 8 who were already accepted in, so only 24 players? If I am reading that correctly

[Rebuke[SkyNet]]

if u do king of ffa last like last time it will be fast so IMO;

king of ffa 2 (for a change of pace and "recovery period") followed by classic

[FML|WorpeX]

I mean, it can change. I think it was 16 in the past... but yeah, it was just for a description.

I like the current system. Keep it.
KoFFA with 4,8,12-players games should be played simultaneously with the main season.

p.s. Fit4Gaming FFA Tournament was great fun. We can do the same with some solo stars invited to final.

[FML|Renaud]

how did the Fit4Gaming FFA Tournament work?

[FML|Renaud]

FML open = KoFFA but only 4 player, and 8 rounds instead of 3?

[y.zenchenko]

Fit4Gaming FFA. How it was.
1st quali round. Random 3-5 players games. Top 1-2 players in each game promote to next round.
2nd quali round. 8 players games. Winner goes to final.
3rd final round. 5 winners of 2nd round and 3 invited solo pros played epic 3 hours game @ Gold rush lol.

In general it's pretty similar to KoFFA, just with invited players to final.

Semis are great, so is the swiss system.

Swiss system gives us more top level games during the season. Yet the top are still qualifying in the end. No one is eliminated for the race to playoff before final round. There are more decisives games, majority of players have something to play until the very end.

4 rounds is ok, if the season was going to be too long, we would lose too much players (like majin, FFS... this season) because of irl changes.

for the format, I'd like these changes :

- +1 pt rule for a player losing a game but finishing 1st in points

I think the league should be organized in 4 rounds like this :

round 1 - Random games
round 2 - swiss system
round 3 - swiss system
round 4  - balanced games between all potentials playoffs qualifiers. It would be kinda quarter finals, with some seedings.

Last round all playoff potential qualifiers play one against the other according to the points they have but with seeding, trying also to make ppl who didnt play together yet in the same game.

Basically we would have games with like 60/45/45/40 pts in the same round 4

Fml open running with fml swiss

[Peregrine]

classic with more players in regular season might be fun. always worked in previous seasons for great games especially in playoffs

Dear Fellas,

I voted for Swiss System.

It is a classic tournament mode adapted from chess so it matches FFA the best I guess.

Nevertheless I would consider some minor changes; especially seeding first round and maybe a larger number of games before semi-finals. The swiss system gets more accurate with every game played.

Anyway, maybe this could be discussed or not if the decision is made.

Thanks by the way to Worp, Renaud and Ugri for doing this, especially for your work and time. Although 50 players have 50 opinions how to do a tournament like this I appreciate your fairness and effort a lot.

Up the irons,

Ty Kruppe, greatly appreciate the comment. Also i'm happy you vote for swiss system. Seeding 1st round is a good idea.
