Football World Cup Registration
 The Tournament So there seems to be enough interest to run this thing
Sunday, Oct 2nd, 7pm (Altitude Time) (noon PDT, 3pm EDT, 8pm BST, 9pm CEST, 10pm EEST, 11pm MSD) Registration Please sign up in this thread, giving clan name, clan tag, list of captains, and preference for europe or US based server. Registration will close sharply at midnight (EDT) on Thursday 29th Sep. Teams Registered So Far
Format Depending on the number of teams that sign up, it will either be a double-elimination tournament or group-stages followed by single-elimination playoffs. Every team will play at least twice Rules and Regulations Please see post below for detailed rules and regulations. I reserve the right to change these up the registration deadline. Chances are I forgot something, so comments and suggestions are much appreciated. Particularly about the choice of format. Last edited by AmateurLobster; 09-29-2011 at 06:37 PM. Reason: add teams

Rules and Regulations
Rosters
Clans are not required to list their full rosters and there is no limit. However any individual player may only play for one team during the tournament Substitutions Each team is allowed one substitution per match, this could be to replace a player who is disconnected or it can be strategic. The substitution must be announced by the team. A team may make as many substitutions as they wish between games. Servers At the moment we have two servers available - F-117 Public Football [US] (new york) - Cashnexus Public Football [UK] Both of these are public, so players should connect to make sure they can play with minimum lag. It is the teams responsibility to check this, failure to do so may lead to forfeiting a match. On day of tournament, these will be password protected. Password will be posted in this thread. When registering teams should state a preference for a US or Europe based server, this will be taken into account when scheduling. If clans are able to provide additional servers, this may be helpful. Scheduling The schedule will be posted hopefully the Friday before the tournament. They will be scheduled in 20 minute blocks. Teams are allowed a grace period of 5 minutes in which to start the game. If games over run, matches may be delayed or moved to a different server. Forfeits If a team cannot provide at least 5 stable players within 5 minutes of the start time they shall forfeit that game. The effect of this will be outlined later when the format of the tournament becomes clearer. If a clan can only provide 5 players, they may play, but against a team of 6. More on Format Due to time constraints only a single game shall be played per match If group stages are used, I would like to try a bonus point system. Whereby a team gets 2 points for a win, and a bonus point if they win by 4 goals or more. The losing team gets the bonus point if they lose by 2 goals or less. i.e. 6-0,6-1,6-2 gets bonus pt for winning team, 6-5,6-4 gets bonus pt for losing team. Group stage point ties will be decided by result of matches between the teams. Results Team captains are responsible for taking screengrabs of the final result This should be emailed to me: AmateurLobster at ymail.com It should also be reported in this thread Losing teams should also do this if we end up using a bonus points system Teams Tournament is only open to current ball, tbd, tdm clans. (I can make an exception if a particularly organized group of players turns up, but I doubt any will) Clans may enter more than 1 team. However a player may only play for one during the course of the tournament. Clans entering more than 1 team, must supply a team-sheet with 7 names for each team when registering. Also supply team name and captains for each sub team. Teams are on the honor code to ensure fair play, we dont need to be scrutinizing vapor ids. [Since this is first tournament, I say the more the merrier.] Referees I plan on watching as many matches as I can and officiating in a common sense way. I will only note the score. If any responsible person would like to volunteer to help as a referee, please contact me here or in-game. Last edited by AmateurLobster; 09-24-2011 at 02:30 AM.

Thanks TheJoker for the support.
As for clans I would guess there might be interest from {DB}, FC, [x Smile x], F-16, F-15, [<C^], (5), {T}, F-117, {WoF}, {ball}, /ADE\, [Orion], =AIR=, [TH] not all of whom are ball playing clans. based on who I see in the public ball servers. It looks like I should contact them directly. Last edited by AmateurLobster; 08-31-2011 at 05:49 PM. Reason: add clan which i think may be interested

I'd keep an eye out for the pro teams who simply want to assert their dominance and ridicule the people who play only football.
I do think that there would definitely be interest in this, though. Just have to get the word out there Good luck!

Perhaps the pro ball clans can demonstrate their superiority by winning this tournament.

I also thought about that before, just football and 10 min would be great ! F-16 is totally in, F-15 is like a sub-clan for us but we can also try that, let's see the teams first.. We can make a league maybe, you know it's football
Also i can say we can use our, at least 1, server from UK. (Cash's Server)F-16

FC in Football World Cup
As I've said in our thread as a response to your invitation/question, I'm open to the idea and personally would like to participate if the rules and management of the tournament are solid enough.
A suggestion: make the matches end when a team reaches 6 goals. This eliminates the possibility of ties and teams purposely holding back the ball when they are up a few goals. Also, if I were you I'd make this a one day single elimination tourney with 4 or 8 teams.

Ok lets get this thing going.
Updated the first two posts giving info on date and registration. There is about 2 1/2 weeks to spread the word and fix all the things I forgot to say. Last edited by AmateurLobster; 09-14-2011 at 08:21 AM.

I'd like to register:
clan name: Football Club tag: FC. captains: lakospeter, twistedduck, Manive preferred server: EU "Each team is allowed one substitution per match, this could be to replace a player who is disconnected or it can be strategic. The substitution must be announced by the team." I think having 6 people on a team when startTournament is called, should be enough, announcing subs mid-game would be nearly impossible. It should be the teams' (and their opponents') responsibility to report if they subbed more than one person mid-game. "At the moment we have two servers available - F-117 Public Football [US] (new york) - Cashnexus Public Football [UK] Both of these are public, so players should connect to make sure they can play with minimum lag. It is the teams responsibility to check this, failure to do so may lead to forfeiting a match." I suggest switching these servers to private on the day of the tourney, otherwise team members might not have enough free slots, plus starting a match would be a real headache. FC private could be used too, although there is a bareable but annoying lag for europeans and an unbareable amount for US players So if you need one more server real bad, it can be used, but I wouldn't necessarily suggest it.

I'm already hosting about 8 servers now on my VPS so no reason I can't just turn some off and create a bunch of private Football servers for the day. Like Lakos says though, worth connecting to the public ones to get an idea of ping.

"Clans are not required to list their full rosters and there is no limit."
"When registering, please supply a team-sheet with 7 names." ? Confusion. I thought I could convince you not to have a roster limit, or at least make it 12 or 14. Also, if you change the rules, please at least bump the thread.

It's fine that the rules allow it, but clans entering more teams just doesn't work in reality. I'm saying this as an advice to clan leaders.

All right, registration is now closed. It is a pity ball and {DB} didn't enter but hopefully it goes well and we'll do it again.
I posted new thread detailing format with games/times Last edited by AmateurLobster; 10-01-2011 at 09:29 PM.
