Rules
I always think there is way too much time spent on maps and /stop and starttourneys between games, so that’s why these are the rules:

• There won’t be any veto system, since that only takes time and this is all on 1 day. Maps will be played in order of the map pool that will be stated here.
• You can have your whole team in the /starttournament function of the first game and can sub in right after a goal or after a connection loss/ping kick of your teammate.
  
  Example: You have 9 members online at the beginning of the scrim, just put all 9 of them in the tourney command (so you have 3 ‘subs’ in spec).
  Then you can sub one of them or all of them in right after a goal or after a disconnect/ping kick. You can do this as many times you like. Only stop the tourney in-between games if a clan member came online and wasn’t in the tournament function yet.

If an American Private Server is necessary for this Tourney... PM me. I will host the format/maplist needed.

Dojo II contains most of the maps you need, already...

Consider vlix in for this, will put up roster a bit later.

No sure about this unlimited sub business though as it encourages people to sit as soon as they die...

Good point, didnt think of that. Maybe just the usual maximum of 1 switch per team, but with more than 7 in the tourney if you have that many members on? I was looking for ways to speed the lobby process up

restrict subbing to immediately after goals only

[Cracker]

Great suggestion, added that to the rules with the note that you don't have to wait untill a goal is scored when your teammate disconnects/gets a ping kick. Then you can sub in right after that players disconnects.

Also changed the time to 2pm EST / 6 pm GMT, because in the night of 30 to 31 march summer time will start in europe. Then 6pm GMT is 7pm in the UK and 8pm in western europe.

[lxyao]

how long does the tournament go for? it is currently 6am my time and if it goes past 8 or 830 am my time i probably wont be able to come. Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Due to my location, if the server is hosted in an eu server the ping limit will probably need to be raised to 400 because i get 350-370 ping in those servers. if it is a us server i can probably go in because i get 250 in us so the maxping is probably higher. Thanks again.

[Cracker]

Depends on the amount of teams, but I'm counting on 2 to 3 hours (see also 2nd post).

About the ping limit, we can raise that to 400 no problem. Only thing is that I don't know how it is to play against someone with 370ms as I have never before, I'd have to test that. If it's stable I think it shouldn't be a big problem (I know Braz has 295 ping in SMILE servers and playing against or with him isn't a problem)

Hey could I play?
how can we register? or please more infos!

Yes you can play. You can register as a free agent, which means you will play with the team of 'Randoms', which are Reeslo, Lxyao, Class and Kafka at the moment. If you want that, tell me and I'll add you to the list.

You can also register with your clan/team, therefore you have to fill this out to register (but you will need to find enough players (>8 preferably) to play with you then):

Hmm, looks interesting

Sign me up for the free agents, I'll get practicing my FR now ^-^

[Mr Nice]

Posted roster, since crack deleted his registration post

[Moon]

I'd like to register as a random since I don't think enough ZroG's will be available on that day.

[Cracker]

4 days left to register; captains that confirmed to me, please post your final roster in the coming days. For other teams: it's not too late to join the fun and sign up :]

If it stays at 5 teams, it will be probably be a round robin of BO3's and top2 play a BO5 or BO7 championship. I'll post the final bracket and mappool this thursday.

[angryirishman0]

TADOW's Random Roster is as follows:

Irish
Heph
Harm
Dan
Noval
Elusive

[lakospeter91]

I'd like to sign up as an individual. Thanks!

( -_-) Sigh...

[Cracker]

Aight we have 12 randoms confirmed, 2 are unsure as of now. To divide it into 2 teams we were thinking about a simple draft like a captains game, but we need 2 captains for that! Anyone of the registered players up for that :]?

Edit: Make that 13 )

[lakospeter91]

Crack asked Evel and me to be the captains of the random ( not in terms of perks ) teams. We both gladly agreed to do it, but we don't want to force ourselves on you guys, so if you have a problem with him and/or me being captains, we can discuss this until let's say 5pm GMT on Friday.

If no complaint comes in, we will select our teams at 7pm GMT on Friday.

[Tekn0]

What why on a Friday?? Seriously...

[Cracker]

That's just a draft where only Evel, Lakos and myself have to be present to divide the randoms into 2 teams.

[Kafka]

I'm guessing that almost half the players that registered as a "free agent" will end up forgetting about the tourney and blowing it off completely. If there's no clan leader (with an active mailing list) to remind his/her team of a practice/scrim/tourney, chances are it'll escape their memory completely.

For this reason, I'm against the proposed "draft" to happen prematurely. I think we should just pick teams (fine with Evel & Lakos doing it) the day of the tourney. That way, if only 9 guys show up, we can still salvage a team without having to wonder if all 6 guys for each team will be there or not.

Downside is it'll be difficult for Cracker to set up the tourney style without knowing exactly how many teams will be competing beforehand. Trying to be organized when assembling team(s) of randoms is frustrating, I know

Don't let this be the deciding factor in whether or not to draft this Friday, just sharing a concern I had

[Cracker]

Ya I have been talking to a few registered players and we all have this concern. You are right that it would be nice to know before the actual tourney is happening whether it will be 5 or 6 teams, also because if it's 5 teams a round robin would be more fun for everyone.

Other option we talked about is drafting at 5.45pm, but then we still dont know exactly who is gonna show up at 6.

What comes to my mind now and everyone is free to comment on this: I could give both of the random teams a bye first round in the double elimination, so they won't start playing till around 6.30 (like this). Then from 6 tot 6.30 we could check which randoms came (while the 4 clans just play their first match) and see if we can draft 2 teams out of it and continue the double elimination. If it only turns out as 1 team then we can continue as round robin. Concern about this is that the tourney style doesnt get decided untill it started :P Feel free to share your ideas

[lakospeter91]

Can't think of a better solution than yours, the only way you could set the format in stone is if we had only 1 randoms team regardless of how many of us show up. But that way some people might not even get to play a single game.

[Cracker]

OP updated with schedule and map pool. 6 teams signed up, so it will be Double Elimination (for now).

Games will be played BO3. Considering the time they both have, teams in the final can decide whether they want to play BO5 or something else (there are enough maps in the pool for a BO7). The entire tournament will approximately take 2.5-3 hours to complete. Password to the servers will be: fullrandom. Every captain will be given admin in all 3 servers. After every match please send me a pm ingame with the score of said match, that makes it easier for me to keep track of it :]

Furthermore if one of the clans only has 4 or 5 online, they are free to ‘recruit’ players that are online and add them to the roster.


The 15 randoms will be divided into 2 teams by draft at 6pm GMT -> All registered players gather in BronzaPalooza III for the draft. If there are only enough randoms for 1 team, the tournament will change into a round robin (everyone plays everyone).

[Stanky]

I am up for this, so the randoms are up to 16

what happens if there are enough people for 3 teams (18 people)?

[Cracker]

Lol really dont see that happening, but just in case -> schedule with 7 teams
