Re: MARC 2010 IS OPEN

We are planning on attending and I must say i am excited about the mentor matches.

I was thinking about how to format the mentor matches and nothing I could think of really made it clean and easy. Was wondering how you were going to match the mentor teams up?

There are only 24 spots with a waiting list available if something goes wrong. The teams that pay first (with exception to last years winners) are in. As far as format, it is the same as eliminations rounds go except when the team arrives/pays they will pull a number out of a hat and they fill that spot in the brackets. Double eliminations.

It could be run like wrestling were if you lose one match you drop into a second tier and can work your way back up to the top. Lose two matches and go home. Just a thought. It looks like you are having four teams on an alliance. Do they all have to play?
You could have everyone play - with 3 teams per alliance that's 14 alliances. Alliance 1 & 2 get a bye in the first round (pre-quarters). But it nearly doubles the length of the elims - I really don't want a 4.5 hour elimination round!

If you want "almost" everyone to play, you can create 4-team alliances and have an Alliance 7 vs 10 and 8 vs 9 "play-in" round.

Forcing 1-9 etc. could cause teams to look at the standings and manipulate their final matches. For example, suppose the number 1 team doesn't think they can work well with #9, but would with #10. Why not try to get yourself into 2nd place?

Re: MARC 2010 IS OPEN

I like the ten alliance play-in plan but you would have to cut registration off at 40. I'm sure some teams would gladly fill in during qualifying rounds. You would be looking at 6 extra matches barring ties. Now to really mess with everything-first round pick order- 1,10,2,9,3,8,4,7,5,6- repeat till done. OK, maybe that is going to far.

Exactly. The ranking system already has the manipulation in it and we've already seen the 6v0's this year. I would like to see it stay the way it is and let the team that ranks 1st pick 1-8, 1-8, 1-8 as they have earned it. I personally don't like the "partners by rank" system. Maybe make the finals be 3 out of 5.

Re: MARC 2010 IS OPEN

OR HOW ABOUT, keep everything just like the regular season but just don't post a running rank. Keep it unknown till the top 8 are called out. A bit of suspence for everyone. Don't know what that would do to peoples pick lists, scouting or qualifying game play. I guess everyone would play to win. Just throwing ideas out there.

How about we do this but post the top 8 throughout the qual rounds (in no particular order). That would really get people excited about making the top 8.

Hmm... Very interesting.. I think this would be nice, but to many teams might complain. And I doubt this would stop the 6v0 stragey. So why not just go to wins and loses!!! Play to win!!

I like this idea. We always have a much better event when the rankings aren't shown. It sucks how the teams that are doing good just get attacked the whole event just because they are ranked high.

My vote for no rankings being shown.

This is a great idea. Maybe every 8 qualification matches, a white board is erased and updated with the current top 10 in team # order. I say top 10 so that if you are #9 all day and blow up on your last match, you arent' suprised to move into the Top 8 right before eliminations.

I think people are going to attack the good teams regardless of ranking. I mean, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that the teams that are the biggest scoring threats are 217, 469, etc. and if you play defense you should play it on these teams.

Agreed, if a team is scoring 10 balls a match, I'm going to attack/play defense on them if they are 1st or last. Similarly, I'm not going to worry about a team that scores 1 ball a match, even if they are 1st place. I'm just worrying winning/maximizing my seeding points. We rarely know where teams are seeded when formulating our qualification match strategy.

I actually think withholding the seedings is a really fun idea. The suspense of announcing the top 8 seeds should add another fun wrinkle in the game.

It also removes the "first seed advantage" of getting more time to work on their second pick, since they can't go to their first partner in advance. Interesting idea...
