A Few Fixes for Tournaments

A few things need to happen before the next tourney.
Senior staff need to take responsibility for their tournies, not pawn everything off onto officials.
Maps need to better developed, and finalized before the tourney is announced to prevent last minute map updates or confusion regarding which map version will be played.
Officials need to all be demoted. Every single official has failed to make avicus tournies even somewhat respectable and competitive.
New officials need be competent hack detectors, unlike almost all the current officials.
Gameplay needs to reflect avicus not ocn.
Advisor rank needs to be removed. Even the advisors don't know what the point of it is.
Screenshare before banning. And if you demote the officials, I don't think anyone will take their place. Agree with the rest.
SSing is pointless with this stupid temp ban for disconnecting rule, until that's fixed it's useless. Officials have proven they can't do the job, gotta move onto the next batch to find someone who can.

I think the Advisor rank would feel like it had more purpose if it was changed to Official and Official was changed to Event Coordinator. Regarding the hack detection, I think plugins are the best shot at that.

Changing the names does nothing, that was pointless. In case you didn't know avicus's anti-cheat is a meme and devs are pointless and useless. Regardless of their "plans".

Lol, I forgot to mention about the role changes as well :p
I have faith in their plans. Progress is super slow, but I think that it can be done.

What about event staff playing in tournaments? I think that's a main issue that's causing a lot of confusion inside and outside the event staff team. In addition, I'd like to add that plugin's are very limited, and we need a lot more to make something run smoothly and organised. We can be blamed for certain things, but it's not all down to us. We have to work with the tools we have.

Maybe you could say how we could improve instead of saying we all should be demoted doesn't help at all if you haven't realised yet Zac.
Demote all of the playing event staff. Fix tournament bugs, ss before playing. Refs have to be handpicked or atleast have Some kind of experience like à moderator does.

There are a lot of playing event staff now and enough refs seem to be coming for matches to happen. Maybe officials shouldn't be able to though.
If refs are both refing and playing, there is nothing wrong with it.
How is it possible that like 6refs show up at like league games? And other then that, why do you want to be ref? To play in tournaments, no, you want to be ref to help the staff team in events.

If there is an excess of referees, then there is no reason for one not to play. As a consumer of Avicus, its not your moral obligation to commit to your duties 24/7. In the event an opportunity is presented, why not take it and play. Also, we have 20 refs, 6/20 is a mere 30%. Not to hard for that many to show up, especially due to the similar times matches have nowadays.

And what if only 6 refs keep showing up, all the time? Why can't for example an admin play his own event that he is hosting? Although he is a consumer of Avicus. The fact that refs and officials can play make the staff team even more unorganized.

Refs are not part of the staff team. Nor does it make anyone unorganized, except for the official team. There is almost no problem in refs playing, however officials playing is another issue. It's not an admins job to host the tournament because they/he/she might not have experience with such an event. Hence, why we have around 8 officials. I said 6 as a hypothetical number, I wouldn't know which refs show up when.

''Goes to the staff page, finds the refs there'' hmmm, something went wrong. And yes, it makes the official team unorganized.

I have given Officials feedback for months. Nothing has been done. You all deserve to be demoted for failing to do your job, move over and let the next group have a try.

Want my feedback? I got a plan! When is your meeting? Give me a slot of time to address my concerns and discuss things with ALL the officials there. Hopefully I can make it.

Doesn't do anything. People have created countless threads about the tournies and the officials with no effect. Give me a chance to actually address yall.
alright, let me rephrase. You don't do stuff, but you do listen.
You said "But do the officials/staff team ever listen?" after you agreed that Zac be allowed to discuss it on TeamSpeak. It's a mystery to me why you think talking and typing makes a difference.
If you actually think the Tourney staff haven't improved from last time, then you mustn't be looking very well.
+1, We should have a new batch of Officials and I agree that Sr Staff shouldn't give the Officials all the work. Also Game play should reflect Avicus, Not OCN. Also Officials Team (I'm pretty sure, they had a chance to fix things) but they didn't so why should we tell them what needs to be fixed when they should know already..
+.85 I agree with everything except the point "Officials need to all be demoted." I think that they need time, and I have seen improvement between the tourneys, and hopefully the next one will be even better.
I have played in all tournaments aswell as Leagues and have had 0 problems. My only concern is how the official team work as a group. Aswell as the communication between refs and teams. And obviously the server and the major bugs it have.
Edit: The maps aswell, they are quite bad
So overall there is maybe a bit to do, but the planning from officials I saw no problems in. There's a difference between having to wait for a team because the team is delayed and having to wait for the event Staff bc they are taking so long.

I dont understand your last sentence can you rephrase that or tell me what it's refering to?
From my pov, whenever matches got delayed it was because of a team and not the event Staff
Like people with constipation.
