Actual things to discuss

Ok, teams. I have made a draft for the vidya bowl. Please read this and get back to me if everything is either good or bad. We have plenty of time. http://pastebin.com/UWmmw9Wh MikeMcBob (talk) 03:40, 20 May 2015 (UTC)

We'll have to find another date for the bowl as some came up for CP:
<CaptPlanetWork> july 11 and 12 actually doesnt work for me now
<CaptPlanetWork> any other weekend is most likely good, but yeah

Ask Planet if the 18th and 19th would work for him. Also I think I should move this to the vidya bowl page for easier discussion for the managers, Planet, and anyone else. MikeMcBob (talk) 01:56, 27 May 2015 (UTC)

Planet has confirmed that he's able to do it on those dates Sillius (talk) 21:47, 29 May 2015 (UTC)

Ok, cool. That makes the dates confirmed. MikeMcBob (talk) 00:43, 30 May 2015 (UTC)

Also another thing. I was reading the format section on the page, do you all want a 3rd place game? MikeMcBob (talk) 00:47, 30 May 2015 (UTC)

is that even a question, of course i want 3rd gw !!+HdfEOCtfid 03:54, 30 May 2015 (UTC)

Well fug. Assuming the tentative schedule for Summer stands we can't do Vidya Bowl before Summer. Why not do it from August 22-23 (the week after Summer ends) instead assuming the tentative schedule stands and everyone (including Planet) is good with moving Vidya Bowl to those dates? gw !!+HdfEOCtfid 20:02, 2 June 2015 (UTC)

The vidya bowl can continue with the pushed up dates. It's just that I won't be able to manage /vp/ and will be up to Technetium if he wants to do the vidya bowl. MikeMcBob (talk) 20:09, 2 June 2015 (UTC)

just asked Technetium and Polybius, both would prefer to have it moved to after Summer if possible. No one else seems to really care too much (I know I don't, Sillius doesn't either from what I've gathered) and neither Tech nor Poly would be badly fucked over if the bowl were to stay at the current dates. gw !!+HdfEOCtfid 03:20, 8 June 2015 (UTC)

Well, It looks like after Summer it is. Since I'm bouncing after Summer, I'll hand over the Vidya Bowl to you, if you want since I hear from you the most. MikeMcBob (talk) 03:42, 8 June 2015 (UTC)

just bouncing this idea around here -- i feel that using the group stage to seed and nothing else kind of cheapens it. we could do what the FLGS Cup II did and have 1st and 2nd seed play for the final and 3rd and 4th play for 3rd place, what do you guys think? (also cuts down number of matches by two I guess but that's not really important) ElementFortyThree (talk) 18:48, 27 Aug 2015 (UTC)

sounds good to me Polybius (talk) 22:36, 28 August 2015 (UTC)

I like the idea, though if I were to implement it I'd probably consider making group double round robin gw !!+HdfEOCtfid 22:38, 3 September 2015 (UTC)

Would work if you wanted to spread it over the 2 days that weekend, also combats home abuse. 6 games Saturday and 8 Sunday? I'm sure I could do that. CaptPlanet (talk) 17:02, 4 September 2015 (UTC)

Sounds like a deal. Dates are final now and have been for a little while (September 26-27 weekend) so get hyp, exports full of whatever disgusting outdated/ebin meme tactics you want to throw in there (note: remember to set all non-medal players' form to 4 to conform to the new Autumn rules} should be on the main page by the second it becomes 00:00 UTC on the 26th. If anyone (especially Planet since he's streaming) has a problem with these dates leave a comment on this page or yell at me on >IRC, otherwise we should be good to go gw !!+HdfEOCtfid 03:25, 16 September 2015 (UTC)
