TRAINING REPORT

Team Gnu Jazz! completed it's first and maybe only training session. We played 4-5 games, lost every single one, and were terrible, both individually as player and together as teammates. Overall it went well, feeling really good about our odds here.

"If I lose I will set myself on fire."
All right, guys! Together with Season 2 of Rocket League, our second Jostlemania season begins as well!

Every team will play every other team over the course of this league, but I put the teams into groups for now. You'll have one week to play all the other teams in said group. After that week you'll get assigned a new group. If consensus should be that this is not enough time we can just extend it.

Firstly, some rules:
We'll compete in best of 3 series.
A won series nets you 3 points.
If you lose the series, but won one game you get one point.

To make a series an official Jostlemania series you'll have to announce the match in this here thread. Whether you do this a day, a few hours or mere minutes in advance doesn't matter. But a longer warning will get people who'd like to commentate an easier time to get in. But essentially you're allowed to schedule however you like.

Do me a favor, and screencap the scoreboard after each game to make stat tracking a little easier. Aside from that you are very welcome to record or stream your matches as well. You may also try an actively get someone to commentate over it. So far I know of Ramagamma who'd be willing to. If any of you others would like to get in on this let me know, I'll compile a list of willing commentators in the op. Commentars can, of course, also approach players

Below are the groups.
Try to arrange and complete series with all teams in your group until Midnight GMT 18th February. 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.

This really helpful spreadsheet features some contact info https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/144HVJy0vke1oLsVr_q14iexYd97-tROrkAme8-JiXw0/edit#gid=0 (courtesy of Mikiya. Thanks!)
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.

If there's anything that I forgot or neglected to mention, feel free to let me know. I'm not exactly used to organizing esports competitions. This is indeed my first Rodeo.

People in Rainmaker, PM me to schedule games with the Mighty Mighty Beeftones. We're available after about 5 EST/GMT-5 tomorrow, and from about 1-5 Saturday and Sunday. Hopefully there'll be a bit more availability next week, but we can't be sure yet.

e: Or friend me on Steam and message me there. I'm always on at least one of the two at any given time.

I have tmw and Fri off. Not sure about my mate tho, he's got a toddler so his scheduling will be a bit difficult to work out at times. But any time after 10:30ish PST (GMT-8) and any time during the day on days off (usually fri/sat) I am set for scheduling. He'll just be the wild card in that.

I almost wonder if I should go back to Cloud 'fuccboi' Strife just to match our team name.

You don't have to. But if you do something cool please save it and send out my way because I like to do montages. Not saying I'll make one for Jostlemania, but it's possible.

I personally find switching between player views very, very disorienting. The field overview stuff is good, so more of that! I definitely like seeing replays whe re you can see more of what's going on away from the ball.

I might try and do a commentary video for my matches (sadly I don't think us PS4 people can import save files) with me doing play by play and my 8 year old on color commentary. :v:
