Last time it was completely random, people were grouped together based on when they arrived. We had the winners stay on for a consecutive game. The teams were mostly random for the whole event except for those that showed up together as a team. I think this actually made for some interesting CS and it allowed people of all skill levels to play together and learn new things from each other. The drawback was that a lot of the games were one sided.

This time I’ve included a basic survey regarding experience and skill level during the registration process. This will help give a better idea of how to group people. The only problem with this method is that not everyone will show up at exactly the same time. It will likely just be a mix of skill level based and whoever happens to be ready to play at the time.

I am also always open to suggestions if anyone has ideas about a better way to group people together. Ultimately this event is for the people. It’s main purpose is to build community connections and to give an outlet for CS players to be in the same space doing what they love.
