Hey everyone, here we are again with another suggestion for CTWL.
S15 started, and we got yet another completely new format for this season. A lot of people seem to not mind it or are happy, but there is also a great number of people who did not enjoy the announcement of the Season 15 CTWL Format. The results were of course, a lot of complaining, a lot of time wasted in previous discussions, and a lot of unhappy people.
Most People just decided to Play anyways, simply because there is currently no alternative for a big, competitive CT league. Therefore, i have a suggestions for S16, since right now we have quite a lot of time to gather oppinions, and try to create a healthy environment for all Kinds of CT Players.
The main difference of CT Players is, that some prefer to Play a Weekly list of preselected tracks, and the others want to pick every single CT they want, without restrictions ( a small restriction like pick/ban would be accaptable for most, but i will get to that later).
In the current Format you wont make everyone happy, and About half of the community will Always complain. Both Formats have their pros and cons, but it is basically up to personal Preference wich Format you prefer.
There has been a vote for a new Pick/ban Format already, and it has been greatly appreciated by a majority of the community. For S15 however… they mixed it with the Weekly track Rotation. wich didnt solve any Problems.
My Suggestion:
When signing up for CTs on Season 16, allow People to sign up for 2 different Formats.
You either sign up for:
-CT WL with a Weekly Rotation of tracks
-CT WL with ALL tracks and a small pick/ban Phase
eg:
sop will Play CT All track WL
bc will play CT weekly WL
Every Team that signs up now has the alternative where they want to Play. If you are a new Team and struggle to learn 200 tracks at once, you can pick the Weekly Rotation. If you are a Team that complains to much About trackpick abuse, you can Chose the Weekly Format aswell. And the Teams that just want to Play CTs can sign up for the all track Format.
This will solve the Problem of Teams being unhappy with the Format council "Forces" for a Season, and will reduce the Chance of Teams or individual Players dropping or losing Motivation on both sides.
One possible Problem that might arise for the first Season is: "How many Teams will sign up, how will you balance the divisions."
Looking back at when CT WL started, we had multiple Seasons of only 1 division. At Season 13, we had 4 Divisions. The playerbase to Play 2 Formats with 2 Divisions each exists.
But thats what this thread is for, explain the Situation, and get Feedback on what Kind of Format People want to Play in the future.
Summary again:
Option 1
-Weekly track Rotation
Option 2
-All tracks with pick/ban
Thanks for reading, and i wish everybody participating in S15 good luck.
