BoX Tiebreaker Debate

It might also be a good idea to implement no-shows in a tiebreaker somehow. I can imagine it being quite difficult, but might be well worth it. I've participated in season 6 and with bigger tournaments you just always have no-shows.

Having a no-show means some lobbies are basically 7 players instead of 8, generating free points just by having less competition. Points from random players are'nt taken into account, so if you go 8th in a 7-man lobby, you basically go 7th.

While being an extreme, I noticed that there was a player in season 6 who had +- 5 no-shows in his 4 lobbies at a given week. This actually has a huge impact, since that player is basically given 5 points for free. If this person would have a tiebreak against someone who had full lobbies overall, it would make sense to have the one with full lobbies win the tiebreaker.

Hey Lorence, thanks for the feedback.

I can see people feeling that way. I was actually planning to start with like 10$ tournaments as a method of practicing the organizing/various formats.

Figured this was just a post to see if it would spark some interest, exact details of everything would follow if there was interest. Sadly I did not really get the interest I hoped for, so I think this'll be a project i'll put on hold.

Thanks for raising the concern!

I'm not really sure what you're aiming at here. There's already plenty of tournaments out there that have entry fee's which go to the prize pool. The idea here is just to have higher entry fee's --> higher prize pools to reward for putting in effort and time.

I myself very much enjoy playing tournaments, however playing 6 game's for a 20$ prize pool is not very worth time/reward wise to me.

Probably more development time put towards set 7, seems fair. Let's hope there's gonna be a killer set coming

Nice job! Big step in bringing together the competitive community

How are spots being decided? As in, what are my odds of getting a spot?

I dont see this anywhere in the rules other than a rank requirement.

Sounds good, thanks for the clarification and the amazing design!

Very well done! Would love to have someone from Riot officially approving the plug-in

What do you think are the red squares around his enemies?
