hi everybody, i need some help.
i would like to manage a 1 vs 1 tournment with different kind of planes.
i would appreciate some ideas from someone who has managed it before or simply wants to contribute on some subjects:
-max number of players to be manageable
-minimum experience and frequency to participate
-rules or points to attribute to the matches
-kind of planes to use
-the way people report results
-the way i let others know the results

i was thinking about some 25 pilots playing 24 matches with each of the others in reverse (with both planes) in 3 type of scenarios :
that makes it 24 x 2 x 3 = 144 matches for each player.

is it too much to play and to manage?
maybe two scenarios are enough? i was thinking:
one dancer vs dancer
one runner vs runner
one runner vs dancer

waiting for some reply from experienced and interested "frequent" players


Greetings mjk1964,

I'll add in my comments (from a player's perspective.)

  • Your idea of having a 25-player round robin tournament is a bit over ambitious. 144 matches per player will be too much (and 3600 matches in total will be extremely difficult to keep track of.)
    I strongly recommend you look at splitting the players into groups of 4-5 players and having the winners of each group advance into a final round. This will make the number of matches much more manageable.

  • I like your idea of having 2 or 3 scenarios for the 1 vs 1 matches. This will give a very nice variety and will give a good test of the pilot's skills.
