So points to confirm Army1.

1. Fair spots. Ireland/England/France/Spain vs Norway/Greece/Italy/Africa is the only permutation I'd throw my weight behind. Room for discussion on England/Norway/France/Greece vs Ireland/Spain/Africa/Italy.

I dont really know what the fair spots spots would be but so far the spots you name seem to be what the majority think. Including those ive spoke to outside of the forums including some in xcel and 7th.

2. a) Whether clans are permitted to choose Europe Random instead of fixed spots if they choose map as Home Map.

Well i thought it was fair that the clan chosing the home map got the choice of chosing whether to go with the agreed fixed spots or the random spots. I genuinely thought that everyone wouldve wanted fixed spots if fair spots could be agreed. But i can see now from the reasons given why some prefer random.

b) Restarts allowed for either side if unhappy with positions? Or would players prefer ground rules such as restart if Norway and Ireland are same team, or Africa/England in a 3v3 scenario (beware you must have a short timer for this - player's shouldn't be able to restart because they scouted a player out and are not confident in playing against them).

I really love the idea of restarts being there for random in what guise im unsure. We could perhaps have it so each clan has one or two restarts each (i think one restart each is ample though as we dont want to spend all day restarting games). All we simply do is pause the game at the beginning and each clan discuss with their team mates if they are happy with spots if they arent then they call a restart. Once the restarts are used up obviously we go with whatever the spots you get.

3. If yes to No. 2, does Fixed or Random take effect in a decider. [/b]

Well if it came up in random i think the same principle of pausing at the beginning and if both agree to go back to agreed fixed spots or else adopting the restarts. I would say for random deciders it would be random with restarts as default but if both agreed we go back to the fixed spots but both would have to agree to fixed spots or else its random with an agreed amount of restarts. Simply just have each clan agree to how many restarts from the start before the map came up.

I think you're lucky enough this won't be an issue as the games scheduled for tomorrow are not going to dramatically affect the semi final placements.

Yeah that is quite fortunate i think its best if we keep this open for consultation to try and get more opinions on the subject. I genuinely didnt think this would be a divisive subject but so far opinion is split on how to progress. Today is a big day in the tournament and in some cases tensions will be high, obviously we dont want to add to that by making any drastic changes. So with that said if a clan picks europe as their home map they will have the choice on whether its random or fixed using the spots the majority so far have said is the fairest.
