CO Trash online: Saturday, October 12, 2024

Post by theMoMA »

The people have spoken, and with their voice, have proclaimed "Saturday, October 12" as the most preferred date for CO Trash online.

We will write up full logistics later. Expect gameplay to start in the 10:00am central range to accommodate various time zones. The cost will be $30 per person.

You can start forming teams here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... sp=sharing. If we get enough interest for more than eight teams, we'll expand as long as we have the staff. Thanks everyone!

Thanks to everyone who filled out the date poll! Most people were available on Saturday, October 12, so that will be the CO Trash online date. If you're one of the few people who isn't able to make it on the 12th, we apologize.

I can't remember if I knew this before filling out the poll, but since then the Penn Bowl online playtest mirror got announced for this date. I'd expect there to be a decent overlap between that field and the field for this event.

It would have been nice if the Penn Bowl announcement had a date in the thread title so I would have seen that when I searched the announcement forum for possible conflicts. In any event, you can email me at [email protected] if you would like to play CO Trash online but can't because of the conflict with Penn Bowl, and if there are a significant number of such emails, we'll consider moving the date to Sunday, October 13, which also had a high (but not quite as high) availability on the survey.

I've only received one email about the Penn Bowl conflict, so unless a huge wave of objections comes in, I'm nearly certain we'll keep the October 12 date.

Additionally, we are looking for at least one person interested in being an online staffer, as it appears we'll have 8 teams (if not more).

I expanded the field to 10 teams (although I haven't heard from any prospective staffers, so I'm mostly just hoping we'll get 2 readers between then and now).

Please email me if you're interested in staffing! [email protected]

Also, please work on filling in gaps in the current rosters before putting new teams on the sheet unless you have a roster of 3+ players.

With just over a week to go, we're going to cap the field at ten teams. There are still four empty slots, three unregistered teams, and one free agent. We would love to fill those places and get all the teams registered.

Do you know approximately how long this will run? And is 10 CT still the start time?

Hi everyone,

CO Trash online will convene at 10am CENTRAL TIME on Saturday, October 12. We will send out/post a link to a Discord server where people can convene. We expect to start gameplay between 10:15 and 10:30 central.

The format will be a ten-team full round robin (9 games) followed by an advantaged final if necessary. Online tournaments tend to have longer per-game times, so it would be reasonable to expect the round-robin phase of the tournament to last 8 hours.

We will build a short lunch break into the schedule (30 minutes or so). We ask that everyone orders delivery or has food on hand so we can keep the break short and accommodate players across multiple time zones.

Teams will receive a logistics email (with payment info and the like) soon. Thank you! Looking forward to the tournament.

Rob sent out the logistics email early this evening. The link to join the Discord is here in case you need it: https://discord.gg/Pn82NWvT. See you there at 10am CENTRAL.
