Right now there are 4 squads with 16. 1- LI ( Captain Defo and Pop ) 2-The New York wrecking crew ( Barry ) 3- MD (Austin ) 4- NJ war machine ( Farley )The obvious favorite Ha Ha But LI and NY have more than 16 and could easily do two teams plus MD and NJ would probably have two also. I don't think finding 8 teams of 10 will be hard. I do think that $50 per person will bring in more people. Paying $100 for two or four games and traveling costs would suck. I payed $225 for AC and got two nights hotel, beer and a bunch of games. I also think everyone on a squad should play there is no reason to have 16 people on a team then randomly leave two out, just add another game. All matches should have an odd number of games so there are no ties.

What an absolute waste of time and money it would be. Maybe I didn't read it thoroughly, though. I apologize, if so. What's wrong with the format Defo used last year? And I don't really see too many people being cool with whoever wins (the individual team) not taking the majority of the prize money. Splitting it 16 ways probably wouldn't fly.

However what is the point of choosing 16 person squads when after your randomly paired its a free for all through the bracket and at that point it doesnnt matter what team your on. The proposed new formats give the rare opportunity for a team pong competition with the crew you play with week in week out and can truely test the depth of a region to see whos the best. I think changing the random partnerships each round is a great idea as well. Payout structure definitely needs work though...

MIkes format is a good starting point. It makes it more team orientated. Definitely like the changing up of partners too. I didn't play in the last BOE but again, it just sounds like a free for all, theres really no "Team". Just people from NY, MD, NJ, PA playing in 1 big tourney. Making it team orientated will at least help show with "region" has teh stronger team which I thought wa the whole point.

Were making progress. I saw Cfresh posted something and Mike V did as well I'll put my suggestion out there Take the time and read it . Just trying to get this wrapped up. I did this format a couple times in college and it was easy to run and made it a complete team effort for the winner. It is very similar to Mikes but w/o the singles and w/o leaving anyone out. Be patient and just read it .... . -4 squads/states is the easiest and sorry if anyone is left out however it doesnt seam likely that we'll get 8 and i think you need either 4 or 8. -You have teams of 14 ( that is 7 2 person teams for the slow people ) need an odd # -The 4 that have full rosters already NYC, MD, NJ, LI - The 4 states pick out of a hat to fill a 4 team Double elimination bracket -Each state sets their rosters from 1-7 every round - Ex MD vs LI and NJ vs NYC ..... MD1 would play LI1, MD2 vs LI2, Md3 vs LI3 .... and the same for NJ vs NYC -Have all games best of 3. The first team to win 4 of the possible 7 games advances. - Next round you switch partners and reorder your squad. - the losers bracket would obviously have to beat the winners bracket twice. This allows you to shoot with different players and everyone on your squad needs to come through. If a state goes 0-2 each team will at least still play 4 guaranteed games. It also puts stategy into to play when picking your pairings you need to ballance out your squads each round. You could also use the round robin format to maximize the amount of games you play for the first round seedin and only have it single elimination. Austin , Barry , what are your thoughts SHit that is a LONNNNNNNNNNNG POST Back to work -Kessler Last edited on Jul 29th 2009, 12:46 pm

Id prefer the round robin format for seeding and then single elimination. The best of 3 series and switching partners each round are also a great ideas. Last edited on Jul 29th 2009, 12:51 pm

If people want to pay money towards the pot why would you want to exclude them. 4 squads of 16 is 64 or 8 squads of 10 is 80. I understand that 16 doesn't work because you need an odd number. Current captains how many people do you think are actually interested in your team. Does MD LI NYC and NJ have 20 people each? or are they struggling to get 16?

Im having trouble understanding this but thats because im a burnout. If its what I think, basically its like putting 4 teams from each state at a table. Each table runs their own double elim tourney with the winner advancing. How would round 2 go then. AFter that first round of double elim, you end up with 7 winners. Do they get a buy into the next round....? I'm a moron when it comes to figuring this shit out.
