New virtual competition (like Clashes)
milivella
here I tell them to you, starting with the firmest - so more unpleasant -
ones.
1. I'll use esms (see the "Attn:Milivella -- Proposal for a contest"
thread). Not negotiable ;) (it's the motivation that I need to run the
tournament).
2. Working with a new software and seeing that shorter tournaments are
better, I propose that each RSSer can coach only one team. Strongly
proposed: if you want to propose another limit (or no limit at all), please
explain your reasons. [I'm sorry for these first two points, but they are
important enough for me to be firm about them.]
3. Having just one team per RSSer and seeing that (naturally) only RSSers
whose teams have not been eliminated have an interest in tournament, I
propose to run a league (not a cup). But if you don't agree, just tell.
4. Rules for the composition of teams: here you have to choose. These are
all the ideas proposed so far in different threads (I hope I'm not
forgetting anyone):
a. All players of a certain age.
b. All players playing for a nation in which they were not born.
c. Each player born in a different year.
d. All players with 0 caps and from the same nation.
e. All players with 0 caps (different nations allowed).
f. Countries beginning with the same letter
g. Players with name beginning with the same letter
h. Clubs beginning with same letter.
i. Countries by export
l. Regional teams, i.e. Scandinavia, Central America, the Andes, the
Iberian Peninsula, Central Europe....
m. Nationality of surname.
n. Countries by language.
o. Each player with name beginning with a different letter.
p. Each team would have an affiliation with a country: domestic players in
home league, or foreign players in home league, or ex-pats.
You can vote more than an option (e.g. "I like a and p."). I'll close the
polls after one week. The rule with more votes will be played (this doesn't
mean that the other ones won't be used in the future!).
To you. :)

I have 1 peeve with the current and past tournaments. A player
should NOT be in two teams. If I publish my team first and
it has X, someone later should not be able to choose X.

Serious problem there with nations with multiple official languages. Can
you include 8 Canadians in a French language squad, even if none of
them speak French (not that you would want to, just an example).

No, no, you can't e-mail me with the nono.

Actually, I like L too. Adding to your list, there can
be
benelux
the balkans
the british isles
the warsaw pact
cuenca del plata
It gets a little contrived to include most countries,
though. If L is the final choice, I think I will
manage The Warsaw Pact or Cuenca del Plata.

Sorry, I don't understand what you mean :( Which category are you referring
to? (I guess you're talking about 2 more than 3, right?)
Anyway, I proposed the rule "one head, one team" for the following reasons:
- I don't know how much time I'll have to spend setting up teams in esms
(hopefully not much, but I've to try), so it's better not to begin with a
lot of teams.
(Next two points are based on the assumption that tournament with less
teams is briefer. Safe assumption, I hope.)
- Maybe we'll not like esms, so a briefer tournament is better, because we
will be able to change software sooner.
- A briefer tournament was preferred when we chose the format of the Clash
of the ex-players.
(Other reasons could be: more than one team per RSSer could cause less
balance - someone has more chance to win - and unwanted situations - e.g.
Daniele playing against himself in Fiorentina vs. Juventus -. But these are
not problems for me).
