Research: Map Rotation Options
![[MOD]Polleus](https://forum.z8games.com/uploads/customavatars/7/navatar_8918107.gif){kind=avatar}
Doing a little curious research into what the community looks for in terms of a round-robin season map rotation. I've got two options for you to select and discuss from:
Option 1: Small Map Rotation (5 maps)
To complement this thread discussion as well, please look in the Stickies for http://forum.z8games.com/showthread.php?t=184132 and cast your votes for that poll as well. I figured I'd give you guys a little something to do
Option 1: Small Map Rotation (5 maps)
- Less variety
- Some maps could be played more than once
- Small selection means more time to practice every map, more chance to perfect your strats and anti-strats on each map.
- More variety - Especially come Playoff time
- Might see less maps played over again
- Large selection means less time to prepare for each map, less chance to have more intricate strats for each map, less predictability especially come Playoff time.

[07:21] *********: that moment when denxi and I discuss it and realize that even if we chose large rotation with maps deemed competitive we would only have like 6 anyway.
[07:21] *********: lolol
[07:21] Polleus: roflmao
[07:21] Polleus: shh
[07:22] Polleus: The point is to trick the public into thinking they helped!
[07:22] Polleus: lol

Polleus is a very very evil person and none of us should trust him.
Short rotate btw. -
The current suggested rotation is
Compound
Castle
Eagle Eyes
Santoria
Ankara
pretty sure you're trying to troll, but imo, you listed two of the maps with the best competitive potential.
@OP
talked to you on xfire about this. it depends how many people sign up and how many games are going to be played in the regular season. if i were running things, it'd look something like:
16 teams per division, 8 regular season games, 4 maps (each played 2x)
as for map rotation, there's 3 maps that are far ahead the rest as far as competitive gameplay goes. those maps are: black widow, ankara, and santoria. those 3 maps would definitely be in my map rotation. the 4th map is a tough call, i'd probably give it to the mine.

Small maps makes things a lot less complicated, and arguably more competitive, as many teams will think of more diverse strategies without the hassle of learning to many maps.. I think 7-8 maps would be better however 5 is simply too few
my suggestion:
blackwidow
port
subbase
EagleEye
santoria
Ceyhan
Factory
Mexico is buggy and honestly it is random... If I get a good spawn I can win the round for my team... if I get a bad spawn against a good team I might get 1 frag if im lucky...
id also want to see boosting added to competitive play... theres no reason why it shouldnt be allowed... just confine boosting to 1 person boosts (1 person on to another after that boost if theres 2 people boosted on that position they cant boost again, if they do they get disqualified, this is to prevent map outs)
If you make the rotation smaller boosting is a nessesity -
It really depends on what league you are doing. If it's something like WOGL, you can do top 5 competitive maps in regular season and let teams pick their own maps weather they do a map they have practised a lot or a map they think the other team hasn't ever played together (Castle, Compount etc).
If you are doing a elimination type league, then prolly best to include most played maps. -
Black Widow
Ceyhan
Factory
Sub Base
Mexico

EDIT: Eagle eyes + ankara for WCG.
EDIT2: I would personally like to see com#. unfortunately no one likes it =/
Compound is good I think Ankara is more competitve imo, I think u mean compound
