Events
The HCUnits.net Events system provides functionality consistent with the WIN,
while advancing the state of the art in other areas, that we'll detail below!
First, anyone will be able to create an Event, regardless of how big or how
small, whether online, at their local venue, or at a large convention!
And as with everything on HCUnits.net, there's no cost or fee for using it!
All you need is your existing HCUnits.net account!
Those interested in organizing an Event simply need to navigate to
HCUnits.net/events/ to start. Fill out the basic
Event information and once created, others will be able to see and register!
In addition to the event types you are accustomed to seeing on the WIN,
(constructed, sealed), HCUnits.net Events also supports Battle Royale, with
players-per-match ranging from 2 to 4, and even Super Sealed formats, where
teams are built from multiple booster sets! Also, we follow the standard
HeroClix tournament formats of Swiss and/or Single-Elimination.
As players, when you register for the Event, you also have an option to directly link your
HCUnits.net team! At the start of the Event, organizers and judges will be able
to access the team and very quickly verify that it's valid using HCUnits.net
instead of manually checking hand-written (ugh!) build sheets!
Once the event has started, everyone will have access to those builds directly
through the Event page!
As a player of the Event, you have access to a personal event page that shows
your pairings and table for your current as well as previous matches. It also
allows you and your opponent to directly input match results, which the
organizers will have access to, allowing them to quickly accept or mediate any
differing results!
In addition keeping track of the winner and score of each match, you can also
denote which player went first in order to gain insight into this important
metric!
Throughout the course of the Event, all players and spectators will have access
to up-to-date information, including round pairings and results, and overall
standings. Single Elimination phases will show a clear bracket so you can see
who your upcoming opponents will be upon your success!
Events where players have linked their teams will have an Event-specific
"Meta" page, which not only shows the most popularly played units, but also
which units appeared the most on winning teams!
Event organizers have an option of linking media, such as YouTube videos,
directly in the Event page, so it will be easier to directly find recorded
matches and other great content done by our amazing community members!
Venues
Stores and other recurring locations can now be registed as "Venues" on
HCUnits.net! When creating Events, you can tie it directly to a Venue to
more easily help people find and register for those Events!
