Tourney 2 - Several new rule ideas

greenspun.com : LUSENET : MAME Action Replay : One Thread

This unfortunate ending that I had to take with the first tournament should never happen again... therefore I propose this rule:

1) If the server crashes, then I think we should EMAIL zips to the Judge Coordinator to show that the recording was done before the deadline. Afterwards, they can upload those files to the server.

2) Back to the fun part... should we make a concreate "type of game" rule something like this: No more than two games of any type(i.e. racing, maze, collect em', fighting, etc.), in addition, no game that is of the same type and is a DIRECT relative of another(i.e. mspacman being a relative of pacman) should be submitted into the tournament. Most points out of those gets in. Most points of the two game/type rule would be in.

Or should we have no type rule at all? Or is the rule we have in place OK as it stands?

------------------------------

I will use new voting rules for these - since most of us are programmers, we'll use these conditions in this format:

IF (((Vote Ending == (8-0) or (8-1)) OR (Majority of votes, winning by two after ten votes)) AND (days to vote >= 5)) OR ((Days to vote >= 10 AND winner has more than a two vote victory) OR (Date >=10/28/99, majority wins regardless)) THEN the motion is passed/rejected

Confusing huh? Basically, it's the banned techniques rules of the MARP, forcing a minimum of 5 days, and a maximum of ten days. Regardless, a vote must win by two votes, unless 10/28/99 comes around, then simple majority. The Main/Judge coordinators will determine a compromise if it's still tied.

I know... be quiet Gameboy! Alright! Alright already! :) Catch ya later.
