Actually, me and my teammates are quite interested in joining this. If you do decide to convert this information into a fully functional tournament, please contact me or my teammates, we would love to enter this.

Ok ! When this is official, I'll definitely add you and your team to the list.

However I do have a question, will there be a choice of maps where we (the competitors) will get to choose one map for the games? Or did I just not see it?

Also Dope for giving us the chance to join early... When we know the games are official, I will put in my teams application.

Also (number 2), I have an "IDEA" (WOAH EVERYONES MIND BLOWS UP). When the games go official, have a set of your favorite maps and put them on an voting list. Have everyone vote on their chose of map, the chosen map will then be forcefully selected to play (meaning everyone has to play it). Then round 2 begins, remove the forced map from round 1 (it's now gone), then put the second most voted map as the forcefully selected map for round 2 (everyone has to play it once). Then round 3 starts (which I am guessing the finals or so), remove the second forced map, and have the 3rd most voted map be the forcefully selected map (everyone has to play it). See what I am getting at?

Also (number 3), If you can get everything settled out, is it possible for the tournament to start earlier than 2015?

I'll start by your number 3 : no I can't, I have lots of stuff to do during the first semester of 2015. On the other hand that leaves us plenty of time to fine-tune this tournament.


It's difficult to explain without a live example.
Team 1 VS Team 2
First match => single 1 vs 1
I roll the dice => I get 2 => so the 3 maps (or 4 or 5) of this match will be taiko maps
I roll the dice again to choose who's gonna choose the 1st map => I get 1 => Player from Team 1 will choose
First map Team 1 wins
Second map Team 2 wins
Third map Team 2 wins
Fourth map Team 1 wins
Fifth map => Tiebreaker map from taiko maps => Player 1 chooses 5th map (he's chosen 1st map, 3rd map and player 2 has chosen 2nd map and 4th map)
Team 1 wins 3-2
Team 1 now leads 1-0

Second match single
Team 2 wins 3-0
Now there's 1-1
And so on, and so forth until one team reaches 3 sets of 3 points.


The long paragraph in the middle, I don't understand except that I should put the beatmaps to a vote. Not a bad idea. But I don't want people to prepare the maps for the finals 6 months before, do you understand ? I'll publish the mappools a week before the matches. During the week I'll listen to what the competitors will say about the mappools (too easy, too hard, music sucks, etc.), I'll be open to discussions. Unless there's a strong opposition to my choices, I will keep them.

If you need some help to integrate the mania category, I can see if I can be of use. Never done a tournament before, but I'm a mania addicted (sort of) player. So any explanations regarding the mode, you can send me a message or something of the sort, I'll answer them when it reaches me :D.

btw, if you end up adding the mania category, add me in :P.

PS: Got a question, when you say it's gonna be a thriatlon (Quadratlon if you add mania), it's gonna be like the WHOLE team needs to play the 4 modes, or it can be 1 person for each game mode. For example:

Player 1 plays osu!standard
Player 2 plays Taiko
Player 3 plays CtB
Player 4 plays o!m

Actually, I'm thinking of adding mania to it but I will need a lot of information on it. I'll talk to you in private.
Some players will need to know at least 2 modes since there are going to be 2vs2 matches as well.

The rules may seem complicated especially for those who don't know about the Davis Cup. So I'll will organize some exhibition matches between the competitors in march and in june so that everyone will understand how it works (me included) before the real competition.

Thanks !
But you will only play with 6 players.
Here are your average performance points :
Angellect : 889pp
ElfenLied102 : 536pp
KanoKu : 454pp
Drakkami : 234pp
Cubear : 476pp
Amazing : 36pp
[ Lynnsanity ] : 319pp
JamesHakim13 : 231pp

Your team has 484pp on average (your 6 best players)

My advice would be to get rid of Amazing at least and another player.

Free agent available. Will play standard + CTB. If picked up, I'll actually take CTB seriously lol.

Are you alone ? Can't you find a team ? Maybe I can add you to a list for players that are looking for a team.

i think i'll join here. :D For Standard

I can add you to the list of players looking for a team if you don't have one already. I've looked at your profile and you seem to be a osu and mania player. I'll add those modes with your name.

Hi there,

I am searching for team,
-prefer osu!standard (4000pp+)
-second o!mania
-third ctb
Topic Starter
Elessey
I added you to the list. I hope you can find a team. You have 1546pp on average. You're have the highest pp count of all the players that are here so far. You'll probably be in the 1000pp - 2000pp category. I'll figure this out when we have more players.
Topic Starter
Elessey
I should give some updates about the rules of the tournament :


Types of matches
There will no longer be 1vs1 matches. All the matches will be 2vs2. I wanted to prevent a case where a team manages to find 4 specialists of each mode. They would be in a huge advantage against a team who's average in all modes. And I really want to see players that are skilled in at least 2 modes.


Mappools and star ratings
I've been thinking about the kind of maps I would put in the mappools. I think there won't be any map higher than 4.5 stars. 4 - 4.5 maps will be played in the higher category (I'm not definitely sure about the categories yet). In fact I'm gonna use this scale :
1-2 for the lower category
2-3 for the middle category
3-4 for the higher category


Categories
I'm not sure yet I still have those two categories in mind :
0pp - 500pp
500pp - 1000pp
1000pp - 2000pp

and
0pp - 1000pp
1000pp - 2000pp
2000pp - 3000pp

It will probably change depending on how many players will join.


Conclusion
That's it for now. This is really looking good, and I want to improve it as much as possible before the tournament so let me know what you thing about everything, the star ranking scale, the categories the rules, etc.

Ok you're in ! Your average pp count is 994. You're about to go in the 1000pp - 2000pp category. Categories are not clearly defined yet by the way.

Hi - Rexa -! In your userpage you play Taiko and Standard, so your average pp is 1286.5.
You're in the 1000-2000 category
Let me confirm with Elessey

Elessey
I'll add you to the list but I doubt a team will pick you, since you only play std.
And your average pp count is 643.

Ok you're in ! You seem to play all modes. You average pp count is 1008. I'll put the modes in this order : CTB, Osu, Taiko, Mania

Some news :
We've been discussing the difficulties for the maps to know what kind of map difficulties we'll choose for each category. I wanted to use the stars system. Some people in the staff proposed to use the letters (E, N, H, I) to pick maps.


For the categories we agreed to use these :
0 - 500pp
500 - 1000pp
1000pp - 2000pp
It's not decided yet, maybe we will change depending on the players who will enter the tournament.


So for each category it would be
0 - 500pp => E
500 - 1000pp => N
1000 - 2000pp => H

or
0 - 500pp => 1-2 stars
500 - 1000pp => 2-3 stars
1000 - 2000pp => 3-4 stars

or
0 - 500pp => 1.5-2.5 stars
500 - 1000pp => 2.5-3.5 stars
1000 - 2000pp => 3.5-4.5 stars


Let us know what you think about these.
Dess1210
I think the first category is the best ^^.
Kosmit
I hope that the PP limit will be higher :C.
In my opinion, first category will be best.
Topic Starter
Elessey
Some news :
We are probably going to use these categories and assign map levels as follows :
0-500pp => 1-2 stars + E diff
500-1000pp => 2-3 stars + N diff
1000pp-2000pp => 3-4 stars + H diff
2000pp-3000pp => 4-5 stars + I diff
Depending on how many players will enter, some categories will be open, others not. So if you want more players in a certain category, invite some friends of yours.
CABERMAN
Can i join?? I play standard, I play easy mania maps, dont play taiko and ctb :333

EDIT: James is mah friend, and she plays standard :vv

also if a team picks either one of us can we be in the same team???
portalbob
Can I join? I'm best at mania, but I'm at least passable in all modes.
Topic Starter
Elessey
@ CABERMAN : I'm adding you but you only play osu. I doubt a team will pick you since you only play osu. On the other hand, you have 6 months to learn another mode.
If the team picks you both, you can be on the same team. But it's up to the team and their captain. If they only want one of you, they'll pick one of you.
Your average pp count is 449.

@portalbob : You seem to be good in all modes. I'm adding you. If you don't have a preference, I'll add your modes from the strongest to the weakest.
Your average pp is 279.
Topic Starter
Elessey
Little note :
I don't want a tournament where we have 4 specialists of each mode. What I call a specialist is someone who has a lot of pp in one mode only and none in the other. Then the team with the best 4 players of each mode in the same team would have a huge edge. That's why I added doubles instead of singles, that's why I limited the team to 6 players max.
What I want for this tournament is players who can play several modes, or if they can't, to make them discover another.

Some news :
For now, the rule goes like this : you have to score 3 points to score a set and then 3 sets to win a match and then go to the next round.
I've thought about doing it more like a tennis game and raise the limit to 6 points with a tiebreaker at 6-6.
So to win you have to reach 6 points first and have more than 2 points than your opponent to win a set. The you have to win 3 sets to win the match and the n do to the next round.

Example :
If the score is 5-5, you have to win the next match to get to 6-5 and then win another match to get to 7-5 and you'll have two points more than your opponent, and win the set.
If the score is 5-5, you win the next point (6-5) and then your opponent win the point after that (6-6), there will be a tiebreaker, and winning team will have 7-6 and win the set.

The downside of this, is that it can make very long matches. The other downside is more work for us to find more beatmaps, at least 13 per mode.

Let us know what you think of that.

Some more news :
We changed the tournament format a little. Players will need to win 4 points with at least 2 more points than the opponent to win a set. Players will also need to win 4 sets with at least 2 more sets than the opponent to win the match and go to the next round.
The order of the modes for each match we'll be randomly chosen and then published with the mappools.

As a consequence we changed the number of maps in the mappool but the proportions will stay the same.

We also changed some rules about the teams.
There will be 4 titular players + 2 substitutes per match. Captains will give me the names of the titular players and those of the substitutes just before the first match. The substitutes won't be allowed to play during all matches until the next round.

Let us know what you think of those changes.
