Powerball Week 4 Draft Tourney Recap
Filed under: Powerball
After last week's cancellation after the first round of games week 4 of the tourney was played out in full and there was no server problems. Again the number of sign-ups increased and there was two new captains. We're very close now to being able expand the tourney from four teams to six. After my whining on the PB forums the sign-up window was opened earlier, at 6.30pm EST, to allow players to register in PB then go on to Warzone to play in the WZL pre-season scrim and then come back when the matches in PB started.
You can see how the draft went here. For those of you keeping score at home here's where I've been picked in every draft so far since week 1: 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th. This can't be a coincidence, this whole tourney is a huge conspiracy against me =(
The tourney didn't go completely smoothly, there was a problem with the drafting. Stag forgot to close sign-ups once the draft had started and two people (Javelin and I can't remember the second) added themselves during the middle of the draft. Unforeseen ending up drafting them both and had them removed from his team. So unf went into the games with a much weaker roster than the other three teams. Here's how the results went:
Imperfection: 3-0 (5-3 vs unf, 7-1 vs snow, 5-3 vs life)
Life: 2-1 (3-2 vs snow, 7-3 vs unf, 3-5 vs imp)
Snow: 1-2 (2-3 vs life, 1-7 vs imp, 6-0 vs unf)
unforeseen: 0-3 (3-5 vs imp, 3-7 vs life, 0-6 vs snow)
The less said about the unf/snow game the better. A large chunk of our team just gave up - and not when the game was out of reach. They gave up as soon as Snow's team scored the first goal.
There's still a few glitches, but the tourney is getting bigger week by week. Last Sunday saw the return of Snow and Hagetaga to Powerball. A few more weeks of this and we should be ready for a full league.
If you want to play next week just show up. Sign-ups will be open from 6.30est to 8.30 est, just follow the instructions on the welcome message to get registered. The draft will start at 8.30est and the first set of games will kick off from 9est. Remember the number of squads is always dependant on how many people sign-up. So even if you're like me and get drafted late you'll still get to play (I've shown to every tourney so far and started every game). For more info check out Powerballzone. If there's no news on the front page go take a look on the forums.
