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.
