Global Agenda American Circuit (GA-AC) THURS 9 PM EST

The AgendaTourney.com proposal can be found here:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1RU2 ... xXcNk/edit

I've talked with many members of the community and gotten some very positive input. This is a rough draft of the "idea" and is not yet completed.

There seems to be interest already for people to create Franchises, just have to get this off the ground.

This is for the community, so we will be having a meeting to discuss the GA-AC. All players are welcome to come and give their input. We want the community to really get behind this push for fun, fair, and competitive play.

The biggest thing that will have to be worked out is how to successfully implement AgendaValue (AV), I know it will be a sensitive subject, but something LIKE this has to be done to ensure fairness throughout the circuit.

Let us know what you think here as well!

Re: Global Agenda American Circuit (GA-AC)

If you can get the players I like this idea a lot. Would make it more competitive and fun for people of all skill levels.

edit: when you decide players values just make it to where nobody knows who was deciding that, that way nobody can be upset if they think their value is to low.

Re: Global Agenda American Circuit (GA-AC)

If we can get the people and the organization together to make this work this will be another big step towards consistently fun and balanced matches.

The draft tournaments took the worst parts of AvA and fixed them
-hugely imbalanced teams
-tech
-shenanigans(bidlocks, zergs, etc.)

This system will take the worst parts of draft tournaments and fix them
-too short to allow teams to get to their full potential
-captain's bias or lack of knowledge influencing picks thereby creating imbalanced teams
-not being able to play with your 'peeps'

If we keep refining the original system, eventually we'll have what we're looking for.

The two most important factors imo are going to be getting enough people interested/involved and getting the AV right, which will take a good, fair, neutral and reasonably dedicated board.
