[Official 2008 Game Design] Radical Tournament Ideas

[Nica F.]

This is something I have been thinking about for a while, but it would only really affect the Championship event. There are many pros and cons to this idea, but it's something that would most certainly shake a lot of things up.

For the championship event, after all of the division winners are created, (Archimedes, Curie, Newton, Galileo all have their winning alliances i mean)

they will have to meet at Einstein to reseed. Meaning the winning alliances of all the divisons will mix up.

With this, teams will be able to get the opputunity to team up with teams from other divisions, and also make things more unpredictable.

An issue could be that the partnerships formed could be broken, but it causes teams to put their strategizing skills to an even more complicated task.

For the ranking of the seeds, i assume it being random would be a little too much so i assume you could seed the teams the same way you would in the qualifying matches? I guess just by comparing how they did in each of their divisions. I haven't looked too deeply into this aspect of it.


Again, it would make an insane Championship event, but it would take a lot more out of the teams as well.
