Quidditch discussion thread

[Toiletdonia]

I figured we'd need one of these to keep the sport from falling through. After the second Quidditch world cup we need to decide on some ranks and need to elect someone to open up sign-ups every time. Quidditch world cup has a short on NS. The second world cup has just finished and so far this is a brief history:

Quidditch World cup 1:
Hosts: Uiri
Winners: Starblaydia

Quidditch World cup 2:
Hosts: Delaclava
Winners: Delaclava.

We must also come up with when we have the world cup. I think we should have it after every world cup.

[Hassett]

After losing the 2nd Quidditch World Cup, I would gladly compete again.

This isn't sign-ups this is the discussion thread.

May I ask what your formula is?

I just think it's odd that Uiri is behind me when my results are a group stage and a championship, while theirs are a second and a third.

All the points overall added up and divided by 500.

[Sarzonia]

I was going to say the formula looks rather heavily weighed toward winning a title, and winning it more recently...

I also find it curious that I only competed in one of these and yet I'm closer to fifth than I am to seventh.

[Starblaydia]

Surely the more recent tournament should be weighted more highly than the 1st edition, though?

[Sarzonia]

I would think that'd make sense.

[Toiletdonia]

Making changes then.

[Toiletdonia]

So then who do you guys think should be the person to open sign-ups? Maybe we should have a vote on it.

[Sarzonia]

I think other sports have the previous host open sign ups and launch the host vote.

[Toiletdonia]

Okay so Delaclava will open it then.

[Delaclava]

Okay so Delaclava will open it then.

I'd say it's not time for a third QWC, considering we just finished one pretty recently. Of course, if there's popular demand for it now, I'll go ahead and start it.

[Starblaydia]

Of course, if there's popular demand for it now...

I'd say not really.

[The Babbage Islands]

What Star said. I can't imagine repeating this event this soon.

[Bears Armed]

What Star said. I can't imagine repeating this event this soon.

Agreed. I'd suggest holding it once per RL year.

[Toiletdonia]

I didn't mean right now. But maybe after CoH like last time or every other world cup of after every WCoH?

[Undeadzombiee]

What Star said. I can't imagine repeating this event this soon.

I think thats a little too far, I agree with Toi here.

[Andrewboy]

i think we should wait till the end of this WC cycle.

[Silver Beach]

i think we should wait till the end of this WC cycle.

I agree with you. That is a good idea

[Toiletdonia]

i think we should wait till the end of this WC cycle.

I agree with you. That is a good idea

Then end of the cycle maybe but maybe every other cycle just because.

[Lithatrius]

Personally, I think that this could be the sort of thing that maybe coincides with the Cup of Harmony Semi-Finals each time.

In other news, I'm joining for the next one

Okay sounds good then.

[Toiletdonia]

Sorry for a minor grave-dig but I think we should have a Quidditch World cup every two football world cups.
