Big problem with my LotR 3v3 tournament: http://www.wargear.net/tournaments/view/530
Even though "Lock player color to specified seat number" and "Use team names defined in scenario" are ON, in the tournament games you can select any starting seat you want, regardless of the predefined teams. Take for example this game, http://www.wargear.net/games/join/101789, where Mordor, Gondor, and the Elves are now all on the same side.
What should happen, I think, is that either (A) each tournament team should be randomly assigned a predefined team, and then team-members can choose amongst only those seating options, or (B) just randomly assign such that the predefined teams match the tournament teams.
In any case, the tournament won't work at all the way it is now.
This should now be fixed and the tournament has been restarted. Here's how it works (or should work):
For boards where Allow player to choose Seats is set to 'Seats', you can choose your seat but only from the seats in the board team your team has been randomly assigned.
For boards where Allow player to choose Seats is set to 'Teams', your team is randomly assigned a board team and you are randomly assigned a seat within that team.
Awesome, thanks Tom!
