or was it bancho being ddos'd? ugh I can't even remember that far

1) Who's to stop random players claiming themselves as captains and registering teams?YodaSnipe wrote:
Absolute recipe for disaster. Why aren't countries allowed to choose their own captain in the first place and have them create their desired team.
DDOS was 2 years ago, that's when we had the secondary bancho server.buny wrote:

2) They are (ideally) going to pick people who will make the most reliable captain. Attempting to avoid favoritism in team member picks, and instead pick the best players.
3) Loctav has already said the captaincy can be passed off to another player.
4) Countries can't really pick a captain, instead it is a select bunch of players picking the captain.
5) What if the captain is not allowed to play due to breaking rules?
I don't see why you think this is so bad, honestly it's probably the fairest way to go about selecting teams. If countries have already created the teams before-hand, whoever is selected as captain can just make that the team.

Okay, then have this be the solution for countries that have these issues and let other Countries that have no issues like these make their own lineups with the proper Captain. The troll potential is far too high if the wrong captain is chosen.buny wrote:
it may be unnecessary for Canada, but there was a ton of controversy iirc previous owc with captains and whatnot. A lot of rosters had to be changed too because of players not eligible to play, so this should be tons easier by just forming teams from a list of verified players
I think there were also cases where teams were actually being submitted from two different captains, which caused even more confusion
Personally I'd like to give this new process a try, what's the worst that could happen?
Fragmenting the way of choosing teams just adds increased confusion.YodaSnipe wrote:

You want as many people to sign up from your country as possible. There is the possibility that in your "only those eight players", some get barred out for violating the osu! rules and then you only have 7, 6, maybe even 4. And no, we do not let others sign up after the 18th - if you didnt sign up, but your core team has denied players, you can not ask others, who didn't sign up, to join.the_robot wrote:
How about this:
As a country (Cananda), decide on what team of eight you want to submit for the tournament. Then, have those eight, and ONLY those eight players register for OWC. At that point, it doesn't matter who they pick as your captain because the only eligible players are players that you have all approved for anyways.
And in the rare case that some random player decides to register without your knowledge, do you really not have the faith that the organizers couldn't pick out that one random and ignore them?
If you don't need help, make the chosen one publish the candidate list and discuss it/form the team like you always did. I don't see the issue. No one is stopping you to use your selection method as you did before internally.YodaSnipe wrote:
It's interesting (actually shocking) the number of people that are backing this. I honestly don't think it is right, but I guess we'll see. Hopefully it all works out in the end.
Note that you can only participate if you are of a osu! global ranking of #5000 or higher and did not violate the osu! community rules in the past 12 months.Just wanna clarify, a few random silences for spamming or inappropriate conversation or whatever doesn't bar you from entering the competition right?
In that case, I apologize for including you in that comment. I should have done some checks before saying that. However, the point still stands for ztrot and deadbeat.Tasha wrote:

No, but I'm not commentating nor do I have any desire to do so.Tasha wrote:

I really doubt it, else it would eliminate a fairly large portion of the player base. I'm sure that is the last thing we want after last year.plaatinum wrote:

mmmmhnah. Unless you have like 15 341h silences in a row or being a gigantic dick all over the places, that doesn't matter. That doesn't mean that you shall head out and receive more silences. This is my personal stance on this. A singular silence doesn't matter. Albeit being a known troublemaker might be a different story, but I have never seen a case so far that were refused to participate for a handful of average silences.plaatinum wrote:

Just want to make sure.
I don't see this as a factor at all though.Minifrij wrote:

The bracket-thing encourages versatility and consistency throughout all kinds of gameplay-difficulties.
While I can see why a FL-bracket would be lame I think an EZ-Pool would be interesting as this Game-Mod is indeed based on player skill and yields replicable results for the same player without having to practice the map before a lot.
