Pug - picking teams/capt etc

[Tro]

Well I thought I would post this up as it has had some attraction of late, so I am sharing how we used to do pugs!
lets face it, no one picks side first ... well hardly!

In a logical format:

Pick map (this can dictate capt's somewhat and definatley players)
Pick Captains
Fight it out, Winner gets the choice of 1st pick or extra player (if there is one - if not someone may join later or leave half way through)
Loser gets side

This way the winner doesn't get the best player/s and an additional player as well - particularly if someone joins late

I believe this to be the fairest way

I would love to hear thoughts or opposing arguments?

I like it! We should start it

I've seen it done winning captain gets map and side or first pick. That works too.

Wonder if we can get a buy-in

Not everyone reads the forums!

Seems Reasonable

Bunch of scrubs...i swear!!

In addition to all the great suggestions you all have, I would like to see the one that wins the battle for captain be able to pick if he/she wants to be captain OR pick any two participants in the scrim to be the captains..This way the battle for captains can also work as an immunity pass to being a nominee for captain. Im not sure if any one is paying attention....Hello....most people do NOT want to be a captain .....so that is why is gives everyone an incentive to win the captains battle and actual makes it meaningful!!!

Haha yeah it seems no one ever wants to be a captain, I've been a captain one time which was last night

A simpler way of saying all that is to say that extra player (if odd number of players) or player coming in goes to whoever picked second. Simple enough.

Have the capts. fight it out, whoever wins gets pick of map or first pick. Then capts do auto-select for sides. Oh, if i might add, when the person picks a map, can we not have a bunch of people complaining about that map so we end up playing v2 AGAIN!! (and yes I understand the irony of me whining about v2)
