I'm designing a tournament for Wolfpack. Open to ideas, so
your input matters and will shape the series.
Right now we will need a few things added to the game:
- Scoring data sent to the tournament database
- Timer or time limit that can be set
- Codeword that can be entered into the game to legitimize it as a tournament game
- Codeword would also lock the game into a specified sea state/time of day/month-year/difficulty (convoy size)
Structure
Games would be limited to 3 hours in duration; this would keep viewing and verification manageable. Maybe 2 hours would be better, adding a sense of urgency and preventing games from going on all day with a super patient crew who will spend many hours getting into position.
One member of each crew in a game (Battle Reporter) would be required to live stream the game and record it for review.
Game monitors would be designated to check on the streams.
To enter, a crew would need to register.
Registered crews will be set with Subsim name, Steam name, email and region.
There would be an entry fee for each crew.
The minimum crew size would be 3.
Each game would require two manned U-boats.
The first round would take place on a Friday - Saturday weekend, each crew would play one mission.
Scoring would based on total tonnage in the mission.
The top 50% of crews would advance to the next round.
Final weekend would consist of 6~8 crews.
Prizes (cash award, swag, a Wolfpack trophy) for the top 3 winning crews.
