Introducing PBCup Summer 2009 4v4 League
« on: May 21, 2009, 05:43:48 PM »
PBCup is back and hosted by eR33t.

This is an introduction to what will be happening in the next weeks. I am going to give an outline of the league and how it is going to be hopefully ran . We will be using the PBCup sub-section, although since it hasn't been used in over a year I figured I would start here with the introduction. There are going to be a few changes from how it was ran in the past. Also I would like to note that nothing said here is in stone; therefore, everything has the possibility to change.

~~~Outline~~~

-PBCup Summer 2009 will be in a Four vs. Four format as it has been in the past.

-The league will start in early June.

-We are planning on having FOUR weeks of regular season. This will include roughly seven matches with one bye. Therefore each team will have about two matches a week. After that playoffs will take place.

-The maplist is currently under discussion. We will either have 7, 9, or 11 maps.

~~~Rules~~~

-The two teams competing will choose the time that they want to do their match.

-Each match will consist of 3 maps. One map chosen by your team, one by the other team, and the final will be a tie map that is ALWAYS played.

-You can only choose a map ONCE (this may change) in the regular season.

-The tie map will be chosen in one of two formats (not decided yet).
A. A tie map assigned to each half-week.
B. Each team chooses their map then the maps they DON'T want. See below for example.

Example with 7 maps: You choose 'A', the other team choose 'B'. That leaves 5 maps left, each team then choose two maps they don't want to play for the tie. The fifth map that is left is the tie map.

-There will be some form of a 'ticket' system to prevent clan hopping. For example each player has four tickets. That means they can only change rosters four times throughout the whole season. Rosters will be locked before playoffs start.

-Each map you win will award you with 1 point. For example you can get 3 points in a match if you win all three maps. Regardless of winning the first two maps, the tie map is played.



Hopefully PBCup can make a full comeback and create a stable league in DP. This will need participation from many of the clans in DP. I would also like to note that nothing is set in stone; therefore, everything has the chance to change. Please post all comments, questions, and concerns.

-eR33t Gaming-

EDIT: Euros will be allowed to play, although all matches will be played on eR33t-Gaming servers in the USA.

Or an own pbcup for euros and an own one for americans?

We have server (eu, germany), if u need them.


The tiemap format A could be interesting, but i like B more :P
I hope there are no beta or ice-speed-jump maps in the maplist.
The 'ticket' system against clan hoppers is a good idea. I think 1-2 tickets are enough.

As of right now I think we are leaning towards no euros. If we allow euros it will probably be ONLY American servers. Then another problem arises, timezones. Although this is subject to change.

The tiemap format A was used in PBCup in the past. The tiemap format is also still up for discussion.

I can say for 100% that there will be no beta maps. I don't see ice-speed-jump maps being on the list either.

i like format a for tie... that way, it's set for each week, no disagreements.

or have a tie map list and teams can only choose from that tie map list.

One beta map might be used as of now, and that would be twiling.  Hopefully it will be completed before the start of this league though.

Kyuuchi I don't think you can organise a cup like this tbh. Also, talk about it somewhere else, since this is a thread for the American-only PBCup.

Euros are only called when needed. Pretty fun to see that. :)

Good luck everyone.

What answer did you expected? They symapthy toward other nations is best described in 3iob topic.

Nevertheless it will be great league with 4 teams. GL HF.

First off it isn't purely myself running it, eR33t Gaming is running it.

Having euros compete would be a huge problem in the American league. With running two matches a week per team the timezones issue would create many problems. Then the issue of ping comes in.

I am not against the Euros running a full league next to PBCup, but that would need to be talked about.

For those wondering why Euros cant play at the moment...well look at the track record. You guys don't show for our tourneys/leagues after you sign up. For example Kuc signing up for all the sunday tourneys then not showing. Keep running your mouth edgecrusher.

There is no prize.

Euros complicate every aspect of the league. Would rather have four teams that show instead of eight teams and only having four show.

Bix, it's ok. You don't want to have to play with high pings. We understand that. No need to come up with an excuse like that. QeHs never missed a tourny in which we signed up. Even when we always get er33t in the first round.

If I heard correctly the euro teams in prior pbcups always showed up for their matches. One team even grabbed the second place I think. I bet that was embarrassing.

You guys believe you can run a league without euro teams, you believe you'll have 8 or more american teams. I honestly hope you do, but what I wouldn't like to see would be you, IF you don't get enough teams or if some team dies (you know theres teams dieing every day in the american clan scene) calling the euros so you have clans to play with. You want the euros when you need them. Happens everyday, there's a continuous rant against euros in what is now your channel, but when no american team wants to match you, who do youturn to? Those filthy euros.

Honestly, good luck, I'm sure the american community appreciates your efforts to try and fix the clan scene.
