"If I lose I will set myself on fire."
:siren: Jostlemania II is over! Check the Standings link below the banner for more, check the Videos link for recordings of some of the games :siren:


[LIST OF TEAMS] - [STANDINGS] - [DISCORD] - [VIDEOS]

Despite the poll (You can still vote on stuff here until we start I suppose, but some things are already decided on) showing that a double elimination tournament is favored by a small margin we'll go with a league. Reason being that we don't need a set amount of teams for that to work. If we happen to get an amount of teams that allows for a tournament though we'll just go with that instead. Because that'd be cool.


So here's the deal:
- Teams composed of two players
- A league with one round + play-offs (meaning every team plays every other team once, the best teams get to play the other best teams a second time)
- Best out of 3 for the main round. Possibly a longer series for the play-offs/finals

Here are some of the games that have been recorded in a variety of ways

Below are the groups.
Try to arrange and complete series with all teams in your group until a date that has yet to be specified. And yeah, I posted it in the OP already, but click this link for easier cross-timezone scheduling http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedform.html.

You can also hop into the Discord to reach quite a few of us there: https://discord.gg/0nnWqQrX2ymFmgoM
There's even a dedicated text channel for scheduling if you feel like using it for that.

loving Timezones
As someone who's organized international meet-ups before I know this timezone beast is difficult to tame. The GMT format makes more sense to non-americans and it's easier in general to calculate the time difference in hours, so let's agree to use that.
If you want to arrange a meeting across time zones this and this may be helpful.


Cross Platform Voice Chat:
I've set up a Discord you can join. This will allow for cross-platform voice chat if necessary (provided PS4 players are willing to use their phones)
Click this link and you'll be right in the discord inside your browser. (Currently admins are lblitzer and myself, we need to assign a user role to you first before you can use most of that discord server.) Click here for the desktop app if you so desire. It's not mandatory, just something I think would help some of you out there. But it could also be used to organize games or just chat or whatever. I also know some pro competitions use it to organize their leagues and tournaments. I'm also fine with this being brought to the general Rocket League thread, but they have CTS and may not want to switch.


This is the most important stuff for now. Let's get this thing rolling!

Naw, it's cool. I myself am on the decent side but I am playing with Junpei, who's a new player. We're trying to have fun here and not scare newbies away or anything.
Since it's a league you'll play every team once. So you might end up playing a team that just obliterates you for one match, and one that's on your level the next few. Don't worry about skill.

Your steam info is not necessarily required if you already got a team mate, it's mostly useful if you are still looking for one. Or if you just wanna make friends :)

Junpei and I have brainstormed to find a good team name. We have made a decision.

Team Name: Mumen Riders

I'll compile all the teams we have so far later today. Probably.]

When we have enough teams. I'll give it a few days. I'll probably make it so people just have to play all of their games within a certain timeframe. I'm hoping this'll make scheduling for the individual teams a little easier.
If anyone thinks that's a bad idea feel free to tell me, though.

You tell me I didn't build that?

I'll have you know I worked my fingers to the bone to get where I am today.
I'm up for this, I'm not great but I've played enough of this game to hit the ball in a direction, so if Junpei's qualified I certainly am.

I'm looking forward to losing 5-0 to Junpei.

Going to need a teammate though, the offer's open to anyone who doesn't think they can win either and won't mind the fact that I sometimes backflip when it makes absolutely no sense to backflip. PSN is FlamingDarkness. Edit: Forgot to mention. Time zone is GMT, but I have kinda sporadic hours so I'm available at all kinds of times, but not any particular time. If that makes sense.

Haha, when I started I'd always involuntarily clench my abs trying to hit the ball.

Only took me ~100 hours to stop that habit but it was a good workout while it lasted.

Sweet, looks like we actually have 12 teams now, unless I'm mistaken. If we get four more we can do the double elimination tournament that was favored slightly. Since there are a few people without a team at this point I'll definitely give it a few more days before we actually start this, though.

E: Actually, it may be doable with 12 too, now that I think about it, but still.
