Choice of maps

2006-11-25 18:27 by term

Like Purity pointed out in "Final stages of EQL4" the current rules for the choice of maps procedure could be made more obvious and possible be even better in EQL5

This might be a better description of the current (EQL4) rules then the previous one:


Best of 5 maps in a 5 map division

0-0:
"cmd rnd" = teamA picks first map (=map1) from [map1|map2|map3|map4|map5],
teamB picks second map (=map2) from [map2|map3|map4|map5]

1-1:
teamB picks third map (=map3) from [map3|map4|map5],
teamA picks fourth map (=map4) from [map4|map5]

2-0:
team down by 0-2 picks third map (=map3) from [map3|map4|map5],
the other team picks the fourth map (=map4) from [map4|map5] if needed

2-2:
fifth map is the only remaining map (=map5)


Best of 5 maps in a TB3 division

0-0:
"cmd rnd" = teamA picks first map (=map1) from [map1|map2|map3],
teamB picks second map (=map2) from [map2|map3]

1-1/2-0:
third map is the only remaining map (=map3)

2-1:
team down by 1-2 picks the fourth map (=map4) may not be =map3
the other team picks the fifth map (=map5) may not be =map4


Now, what we can debate here is the fact that the current "decider" in a TB3 divison is the third map!

One alternative would be to not play all TB3 maps in all cases, ie map1,map2,map1(,map2(,map3)).

And another alternative would be to chose a decider first (by tossing), ie
map1,map2,map3(,map1(,map1)).

I'll add a poll about this later.

Maybe you who think that if same map is played in a row is boring you should try to remember this <a href="http://www.nqr.nu/nqr9/index.php?cont=battles& ;id=619">match</a>
