You guys are still LFT, can you please either pair up, or let me know if you have a team already. Once this is done I can make the brackets and we can get ready to play.

I'm happy to pair up with anyone else on PS4 that's LFT. I'm mid-Challenger II and play mostly evenings PST. I'm also away for work this week and won't be able to play until the 9th. If this doesn't work out I'm happy to drop out in the spirit of getting the competition started.

if anyone ends up teamless in the end maybe they could be a substitute or something? Like just in case drunkdriverdad or I absolutely can't make it. Just a thought, season 1 took forever cuz of scheduling issues so I wanna avoid that if at all possible.

I definitely don't see a problem with that within reason. Like don't substitute a C3 buddy or something and try to get Waverly/Meeks some other champion to play with/for you so you can win or whatever.

But if it'll help move the tournament along and maybe get a lone PS4 player like Montalvo able to actually be able to play, sure.

I'm PST as well and we've played before so gently caress it. No idea for a team name though.

"If I lose I will set myself on fire."
So here's a thing:

:siren: Be Part of a Jostlemania III Montage :siren:

If at any time during your Jostlin games you do something that is Siiick, Savage, Okay, Nice Shot!, Great Pass or simpy hilarious send me either a replay or a clip (please only use clips if somehow the voice comms are essential to the moment or you are on console and can't send me replays)

If you send me a replay make sure to include a timestamp and describe what you want me to use just to be on the safe side.
There is no need for it to be a top level play or anything, just something that you found noteworthy for some reason.

If I get enough material I'll make a montage out of it once Jostlemania is done. Please don't forget about this like last Jostlemania, kay?

Also @grope: would be cool if you could add this to the op and maybe mention it when you make an announcement about group divisions or w/e so people have to read it.

I'm normally on PS4 but I have this on Steam too, and I'm willing to play with anyone, but I make no promises when it comes to skill. I'm somehow Challenger Elite in Doubles, and I refuse to touch that playlist in case I ruin everything.

All LFT players are now accounted for.

That means that I could whip up the two Divisions and we can start round robin play.
So first, here are the rules. Each series is a best of 3. Loser will chose the maps from any map that appears on ranked. You can do Lab maps if both teams agree to it however. Each team will play each other in their division, and the teams with the best records will advance. Tiebreaker will be individual game wins, if for some reason 2 teams are tied on series wins.

Dominus Bracket:
Mumen Riders
Gruesome Twosome
Unnamed (wa27 and athanatosSA)
Noname (Whodatwhere and his friend)
Name TBD (Montalvo and Chekans)
Undecided (Deadspin and Beverly Cleavage)



Octane Bracket:
No Stairs Please, We're British
Eurogenous Sons
Bottom of the Ladder
Sponsored by Tim Hortons
Centice
Last Picks


The goal is to have each team play at least 1 series a week, so this moves along at a semi-decent pace. Obviously if you have time and can schedule more games feel free to do so.

Replay files of your games aren't mandatory, but I might be making highlight videos from the tournament play, or get goons to cast games as people have expressed interest in doing so. So if you wouldn't be totally embarassed having your game highlighted in any way, give us them replays. I wouldn't post lovely highlights or make fun of anyone unless they asked, and the commentators hopefully wouldn't either, so you wouldn't have to worry about that.

Yeah, you can drag and drop them afaik. Just do that in the Jostle channel with an @ at either Grope or Iggy and they should catch it. I think both are up for doing compilations.

Right Discord would be the preferred way.

But for any of you non-discord goons (seriously why are you this way though) you can put it on dropbox or whatever your file hosting place of choice is and put a link here and I'll grab it.

I don't know if it's even been posted in the thread yet, but the Jostlemania Spreadsheet is now organised and up to date. I moved the teams around to fit their brackets, added a scores sheet for tracking series, games and goals, and made it look more colourful. Don't think there's anything else that needs added, or how much more bored meddling I can do.

Montalvo/Chekans need a team name, as do LCL-Dead and Beverly Cleavage. Also Waverly is Team Centice, on his own, so I'm looking forward to seeing one guy win a doubles tournament.

Hoping drunkdriverdad is down to do this because we've been meshing pretty well lately! If he's not or his schedule doesn't work for this I'm out there as a free agent. Came in second (:argh:) in the first jostlemania, didn't play in the second.

I just now found this and want to play with Zeldadude. I work a ton, so my schedule sucks.
Team Name: The Gruesome Twosome
Drunk Driver Dad

CST

I work night shift, 3:30p-2am and get home late, about 2:30 or 3:30 if I go work out. I'm sure very little people will be on at this time, so my real available schedule will be my off days. My off days are every other Friday/Saturday/Sunday. Specifically, starting Jan 6th, Jan 20th, Feb 3rd, etc. I almost always never have social obligations because of this schedule, so anytime on those days is fine provided it's after say 4-5pm, preferably starting a little later. I do have vacation I can take, and while I wouldn't normally waste PTO over a video game, I have been feeling ground down lately, so I can request any Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday off work as long as I have a few days notice.

tl:dr, my best time will be anytime on Jan 6th, 7th and 8th, and then again Jan 20th/21nd/22nd, then again Feb 4th/5th/6th. I can play on Tuesday/Wed/Thur if I have a few days notice to request it off, although I'm not willing to waste more than 2 of my PTO days for this.

FWIW, I'm down with this sort of thing. If for some reason I gently caress up, I'm fine with someone filling in for me, and I'm also fine with playing with any fill in if Zelda doesn't make it. I'm just in this for the fun.

Cleavage and I are both EST (GMT-5 I think?). Both dads, so games will probably be in the late evenings after kids go to sleep/are locked away in their cages.

We'll come up with a name soonish.. Probably should have talked that over last night.

I'm only available on weekends and Tuesday/Wednesday for the most part. 1 to 2 games a week should be totally possible on my end.

Agreed on all counts, though the Mrs. knows I'm "participating" in some games that might into some evening time, so weeks aren't quite as locked down.

Okay I'm off the next 3 days(Friday,saturday,sunday) and as far as I'm aware my teammate should be available during those evening and nights. I'd like to get at least one, preferable more matches in, not sure how many he wanted to do but I"m sure he'll chime in when he wakes up tomorrow. Are us teams in the same bracket supposed to just schedule ourselves or what? If so anyone in the Dominus bracket want to do any this weekend? I'll probably sleep in until 4-6pm CST tomorrow, so I will let Zeldadude handle any details if so. I can be available literally any time those 3 days as long as it's not before later in the afternoon. Supposed to snow in Alabama anyway, so it's a deathwish if I get out on the roads anyway, might as well be a sit on my rear end weekend.
