Powerball Week 3 Draft Tourney Recap
Filed under: Powerball
Last Sunday's daft event wasn't finished due to server problems. Everything looked good at the start. We had another good turnout of players which gave us enough for four squads of nine. The module stagnate has written to handle the draft was a lot less buggy than the previous week and we had the smoothest draft so far. You can see how it went here.
Yep, I dropped a round again. from the 7th round in week 1, the 8th in week 2 and now down to the 9th. You'd think with half the draft caps being squaddies of mine one of them might throw me a bone. Oh well.
The first set of games went off without a hitch. From memory Stagnate's squad beat Seismic 1-0 and unforeseen beat life's squad 6-0. We were about five minutes into the second round of games when the problems started. The zone started recycling. We would all get kicked out, then the zone would seem stable for a couple of minutes, the games would almost be ready to be restarted, then we would get kicked out again.
After four or five attempts to restart were killed by this people started to give up and not come back when the zone did. After a while it was obvious we couldn't continue with the tourney and it was cancelled. There was enough people to play a scrim on phant's map though.
Things should be back to normal for next Sunday. The tourney is open to anyone who wants to play. Just show up in Powerball between 7.30 and 8.30 EST to sign-up (instructions on how to do this are on the welcome message). The draft then starts at 8.30, with the first round of games starting at 9est. The number of squads and size of rosters is decided on how many people sign-up so everyone who shows will get to play.
