Swedish Komp point poll: 3 or 5?
« on: February 03, 2014, 11:35:03 AM »
Referencing this thread here:  http://www.battlegroundgames.com/forum/index.php?topic=7499.0

There seemed consensus of running the tournament at either a 3 or 5 point limit (3 is more restrictive).  I will point out that some form of bonus points will be used, so if for instance, a player with a 4 point list plays a 2 point players, the player with the 2 point list gets 2 bonus points (or something like that), so at higher points, there's still advantages to playing a lower point list.

I voted for 3.  I don't feel like 5 is quite enough to notice a difference in the lists people bring.  I also feel that 0 would not be much fun at all for too many people.  I feel the point of comp is to limit awesome units, not restrict them from play completely, but that is my take.  Like anything else suggested four tournaments, I'd like to see this, some of the time, not all of it.

I voted to try it at 3 points.

BUT

I want to preface this with I don't think we should have this comp as a standard thing at BG events.  This is just to "try it out" and see what happens if Chase decides to at somepoint do a comp event.

This is a hard thing to just say; I want this point value. If it is a GT I would say 5. For a 3 day event 3. That being said; you could do either for each event as well. It really comes down to local meta preference as well as what kind of tournament the TO wants to run.

You're the only one who mentioned 4!  And polls (like elections) work better if it's a binary choice.  If a lot of people want 4, they can say that here, and we'll re-do it.

Im officially announcing my campaign for 4.  I will start my speeches and site visit this coming week.  I notified my speech writers to prepare for a serious and credulous campaign this voting season!

Why 0?  If all 4 were an option, which would you want?  0 seems completely unplayable.

So far that's two votes to at least be listing 4 pts as an option.

lol, stop complaining about the format of the poll.  As noted already by thread starter, write in candidates are acceptable and he's tracking them, let's stay on target here!

You need to clarify that this vote is a write in vote in order for it to qualify under statute 5.1 of the BS forum regulation.  Please resubmit using the proper forms in triplicate.
