I'll go ahead and propose the rules.
For King of Map:
- it is natural to assume there can be only 1 king, so it will be a 1v1 kind of tourney
- take away all current king of map avatars from players and start a new thread in tourney forum, where players will sign up for challenging a specific map (alternative version: players who already own avatars will be current kings of the map, for maps that dont have kings use system metioned before)
- the rule will be single elemination for deciding a king of map with no king
- same rule for challenging a king, except players dont have to sign up and can challenge a king right away
- a king can be challenged only once per week by each player. if a player succesfully deafeats a king, he cant be challenged for the rest of the week
- with current number of king of map avatars (only 8), a player can have only one of them. how about adding more maps? this way depending on their amount a player can have 2 or even 3 of them at once
- if a king is not challenged for entire week, he keeps the title for next week. if a king is being inactive (not answering the challenges) for entire week, he is stripped of his title and players must sign up to challenge a map and decide a king
For King of Faction:
- it is natural to assume there can be only 1 king, so it will be a 1v1 kind of tourney
- take away all current king of faction avatars from players and start a new thread in tourney forum, where players will sign up for being a king of specific faction (alternative version: players who already own avatars will be current kings of faction, for factions that dont have kings use system metioned before)
- this tourney will be divided into 2 stages each a week long. 1st stage: players sign up to challenge current king of faction. 2nd stage: all challengers who signed up will now play BO3 to decide an ultimate challenger. then comes 1st stage again, players sign up to challenge a king and at the same time current king plays BO5 with ultimate challenger who was decided at previous stage. then comes 2nd stage again, and we finally get a nice rotation
- if there is only 1 challenger sign up during 1st stage, he becomes ultimate challenger at 2nd stage. if there are no challengers signed up, the king keeps his title untill someone challenges him. if the king is being inactive during 1st stage (when he has to play vs ultimate challenger), it is counted as a loss at the end of 1st stage
- all the games must be mirror matches of factions being challenged with no exception!
- maps are chosen by players individually from the pool of all the maps that were played in 1v1 ladder at any point
- map choice favours the lower ranked player in BO3 (low-high-low). in BO5 map choice favours the current king (challenger-king-challenger-king-king)
Discuss
Im sure i overlooked or forgot something, so feel free to add to this rules, change something or propose your own rules
Also, since i came this far i want to try to run this king of tourney series.
But we still have to try and see. Maybe king of faction tourney will replace WWPC at some point?
