I recognised that there are not many friendly cups opened lately.
Big reason for that is likely the lack of managers, but likely also something more. So I had an idea to use one of the two friendly slot for a RZA wide tournament which might spice up the game experience a bit and makes it eventually also more interesting to play in such a competition for quite new teams. Here is the idea: 1.) No Credits needed. 2.) It stays a non profit, no exp, no pc drain slot as it was before. 3.) All teams participate, even BOTs, only that BOTs don't have any benefits from it. Teams can ignore it by not setting a game setting. So basically it's some sort of RZA wide friendly cup. 4.) it starts in 1. Wednesday or 1. Sunday (I would prefer Wednesday, since I have the feeling Sunday is a much liked reguar friendly cup spot) and has a sorting phase and a playoff phase and ends either on the Wednesday before rollover or the Sunday before rollover 5.) All games are in powermode 6.) Every win gives the winning team a max 10% bonus on EVERY value on the next youth pull. That means, the pulled youthy gets that bonus on str, spe, etc. but also on int and TW. I think that's a nice gain, but not too severe. 7.) The winner of the playoffs gets a throphy 8.) The playoffs fields like supercup the top 128 teams, but seated by top #1 vs top #128, #2 vs #127 and so on for the 1st round, bracket sorting that way that in theory #1 and #2 meet in final, #1, #2, #3 and #4 in semi and so on. 9.) The top 128 teams are found during the sorting phase by playing every gameday a match and getting then sorted by the regular season sorting rules (wins, PD and so on) in one big table. The opponent of the teams are selected top down by playing against a team with as much wins as the other team has as best available. That means, 1. round (all 0 wins) just random, 2. round all 1-win teams play 1-win teams, 0-win teams play 0-win teams, 3. round all 2-1 teams play 2-1 teams, 1-2 play 1-2, 0-wins against 0-wins, and so on. If a x-win team as no more opponent with x-wins, it plays a x-1-win team (or x-whatever next is available). That way, in theory, the strong teams have strong opponents, the weak weaker opponents. That should be more motivating for newer teams. And last rule for sorting phase, you only play a team once in that phase, so no rematches. 10.) The weekly bonus stays as long as it is spend or another match was won, no accumilation. I think that's it. |

But we have such a tournament, basically.
When RZA was created it was league games, and friendlies... and then we thought it would be cool to add a tournament where everyone takes part, the winner received a trophy, and there are some advantages to players and their skills. We made one, added each single human controlled team to it, awarded a trophy for the winner, made it counting towards experience and so on, and called it Supercup. |

I just had 3 thoughts on this: a) the few cups being initiated, leading basically to 2 gamedays nothing happens, which lead to ... b) why not use one of the slots for a different kind of tournament, which is not bound to credits, which motivated ... c) why not to have a cup where everyone is in theory on the same level Because, yes, whe have the Supercup, but the suggested format is a bit different, since no exp and so on, no income, all on power mode, and with the dynamic scheduling. At the end I can only suggest stuff, and to be honest, the game could use something new. |

If we bind people to enter a tournament, we would have to compensate, I am afraid. Like added experience, ticket money and so on. I am not OK with that, I must admit

For all stats Sounds for me quite powerfull and with the scheduling rule, and the power Mode, it‘s unlikley anyone goes Unbehagen and anyone human goes Winkes. Details can be adjusted, I just had this idea and wanted to Share it. |

a solution could be a friendly cup pool. You could join it for wednesdays, sundays or both. A cup creator could then pick the teams out of the pool who have enough credits. The cup creator could be an ordinary manager like me, Pete or the system.

You mean, like it is today? They join a friendly pool, and someone starts the friendly cup once everyone has enough Credits?

Don't get me wrong, I am not against such things. I am just struggling to understand where those ideas create something unique compared to what we got already

I am just struggling to understand where those ideas create something unique compared to what we got already When Radu organizes a cup, everyone knows it's going to be something. For a cup to get started, a manager has to advertise it. A simple forum thread isn't enough. Not every manager checks several times a season to see if there's a cup with five managers already registered. I want to simplify contact between those willing to play a friendly cup and the cup creators, just as it is already possible for other friendly days. Why is there a friendly pool for Wednesdays? Because people want to play there, but don't want to waste time searching for opponents. If the Wednesday friendly pool were organized into a friendly cup pool, there would always be enough tournaments that actually take place. |

I think the unique part is the power mode in addition to it beeing rza wide for all players. That makes it newb friendly in terms of the powermode, since they get a real chance. It adds to the community feeling, since they compete against the entire rza world, it cost them nothing and even adds a bonus to the youngsters. I could imagine this, jacks suggestion, could be the first trophy to obtain for younger teams, even though the competition is huge but not "unfair".
For me that sets it apart from the supercup, friendly cups and the playoffs (league and supercup), which new teams mostly dont reach or leave again real quick. So in terms of enriching the rza expierience in the game for new players the mentioned keypoints (fair competition, no cost, participation in rza with the community and something to win) adds to that idea. While active players and "senior" players would mostly enjoy another competition anyways. If its also no must join, its not even putting presure. I would even add, to let the teams opt out of it, instead of opting in. So new players dont even have to understand where and how to join that competition. |
