TheFragilegungonIn the rule set can you make sure that round timer is set to 4 minutes? Last RGB the round timer was 10 minutes long and it felt incredibly dated to play.Yep, done.
sandblast1 day will be way too much and long to play. 2 day would be the best solution, ig like 30min map timer and 4min round timer.I've thought about this numerous times before. Some people have inquired about doing group stage on Friday, and while this isn't a bad idea, not everyone can make it to LAN at a decent time on Friday. The best we'd be able to push to Sunday is just grand finals, but it'd have to start at like 10 AM because the network gets cut off sometime around noon or shortly after.
I do understand that it can be a lot of TF2 in one day, especially for a team that gets sent to losers early but makes a deep run. A few LANs ago, I asked teams if they wanted to skip the group stage entirely just so there'd be less TF2 (especially because it's just for seeding anyway), and out of the ~16 teams, not a single team wanted to skip group stage.
I try very diligently to make sure things run on time and as smoothly as possible. I'm definitely all for ideas if they make sense, but I just don't want to ostracize anyone who can't make it to LAN for their matches if we try to do group stage on Friday. However, this time around, I will poll the teams to see if their players can make it on Friday. If they can, we will start group stage on Friday night. If there are teams / players that will fail to make it, we'll stick to the original schedule of starting Saturday morning.
Great idea! Hopefully people respond to the poll. It would be awesome to enjoy some of the other games RGB has to offer too.
